Best Budget Gaming Mouse From 2023? (VXE Dragonfly R1 Pro Max)

[@sa17dk]

Really glad you covered the Pro Max version. The Pro (non-max) is popular but the Pro Max seems to be more interesting with the bigger battery and unique switches. Thank you for your review.

[@Cvtxv]

Thanks for the video, I'm just waiting for this mouse)

[@AuDiGo6]

The switches translation OMG :D Kaihua = Kailh Sword GM (transparent shell, white dot), Ring Nuo Ice Ber bla bla = Huano Pink Dots (blue, but probably pink shell)

[@frank-z7m]

I have a pro version，it’s switches have transparent pink shell and pink dot

Would you guys recommend i upgrade from my logitech g305 to the VXE R1?

[@michealhyperion3023]

@@Ash-of1yl yes, you'll love it

[@Ash-of1yl]

@@michealhyperion3023 Ive been using it and the only gripe i have are the click feeling, which overtime they've become more useable, but in the begining it was so stiff and still it feels like it gets stuck sometimes hwen i wanna spam. The g305 also felt more stable in my aiming but im not sure why that is.

[@michealhyperion3023]

@@Ash-of1yl thats probably because its more wide at the back than the r1. tbf ive only had mine for 2 days and the clicks are slightly heavier but its nice to hear they'll get lighter overtime. Overall im super happy with the fact i can spend £40 with delivery, and get a mouse that has the same sensor clicks and shape as a mouse that I would normally pay £100+ for. Namely the ninjusto sora which the r1 is damn near a 1 to 1 clone.

[@rberger5603]

Thanks for making this video. I was thinking about buying this one, but I didn't think anybody would review it!

[@l1nkcs]

Awesome review, might check this mouse out as I find my current X2 a tiny bit too wide but I absolutely love the overall size and expecially the flat sides and narrow back. I also tested the Sora but its side profile was too narrow and curved for me so this might just be the perfect in between. Also, great shape comparisons as always!

[@officialteamroc]

DO!!! I DONT LIKE THE X2 AND I LIEK THIS WAY BETTER!! EVEN FEELS BETTER THEN THE NINJUTSO SORA to me

[@jinnha12]

Finally, the R1 review gonna order mine now. Great review as always.

[@SevenKS77]

Just got this mouse and I have to say that it's one of the best I've ever laid my hand on. I had an X2 but this feels different from the curves to even the hump. It feels more even throughout the mouse. I still can't believe that the Pro version costs only $45. Definitely would recommend this to just about everyone.

[@spacegodmurder]

Really ? I am thinking of buying the cheapest R1SE which is $23 incl. shipping just for the wireless experience but I only want a claw mouse. I mostly used an XM1r for comparison, would you still recommend it ?

[@SevenKS77]

@spacegodmurder thats a really good point. I guess for me the pro was the clear choice because of the 4k compatibility. If the quality is the same on the SE go for it. Even if it isn't, $23 isn't much lost

[@iamkemo2873]

​@@SevenKS77 is the r1 better than logitech 305?

[@miriyo3048]

Do you use it with the 4k receiver? And is the mouse more like M or S size? (just the feeling). I have the gpro x and it feels massive xD The shape is too bulky

[@conyo985]

I went with the SE version. I can't believe what you can get for 16 dollars! There are QC issues though so your mileage will vary. Some QC issues are that the bottom isn't flat, creaking issues and some noisier left and right clicks. In my case I got a good one. Not a single one of those QC issues. I'm very happy with my purchase. And thank you for your video because I wouldn't have known about this mouse.

[@TheReal_FishFins]

Absolutely loving this mouse.

Hi guys, my R1 just arrived but I can't get the bluetooth to work. I tried connecting it to my Windows PC and it initially connected, but after turning it off and on again it no longer works. The blue light indicating Bluetooth is on works, but my PC (I tried on another PC and it's the same) can't find it.

Hey I was wondering what your opinion about F1 Moba vs R1 Pro/Max is? Thanks!

[@mjcheung]

what is the battery jst size? have image for reference? or link?

[@wisetone]

How is the click compared to the VGN Dragonfly F1 Moba, I just don't really feel like to have it as my main because there's a little pretravel on mine.

[@jopppsss]

Got mine yesterday. One thing I noticed is that the right click is louder than the left.

[@annoymusi2735]

What would you recommend for small budget mourse?

Does this have aggressive comfort grooves like vgn dragonfly? also what's the difference between pro and pro max? just battery?

[@airtrunken5556]

[@keard7811]

VXE is basically an little bit upgraded version of VGN with a different shape

[@empanadadepino5102]

Hi Liam, to modify the battery on my R1 Pro Max, what size plug should I choose?

[@mrgenius4]

Love your videos man! I bought the Waizowl OGM Pro back when you posted a video about it based on your recommendation for my friend and he absolutely loved it! Which mouse would you say is better shape wise the VGN F1 or the VXE R1? I was using a Razer Viper for some time now until it finally broke, although I felt that the Viper could be just a tiny bit bigger when I used it, So I bought the G Pro X Superlight but it felt like it filled my hand too much and didn't leave enough room for claw grip or fingertip for that matter.. Which mouse would you recommend for me? my hand size is 19cm*10cm. I would really appreciate it.

[@TQT0205]

Delux M800 Ultra

[@AimAdapt]

The VGN is a closer shape to the viper and would be something you would feel more familiar with. M800 Ultra is another good option too!

[@mrgenius4]

@@AimAdapt Thank you for coming back to me. Now I'm trying choose between the Atlantis, Helios ii Pro and the VGN F1. I feel like the Helios would fit me best based on your review.

Is anyone getting Connection Issues while the Mouse is connected using the 4K Dongle? I have the R1 Pro version and the tracking suddenly drops and resumes after a while. I have noticed that the 4K Dongle and the Mouse still communicate because when I move the mouse the LED Indicator on the Dongle also lights up. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, are there any known fixes?

Is it good for a 16,5/9 cm hand? Relaxed claw/fingertip... I use RVM and i'm afraid If the r1 pro is too wide for me

[@jrmanuel0728]

I recently bought the R1 Pro Max and the 4k dongle. I was hoping to use the 4k dongle on my PC and the 2.4g dongle on my laptop. When I tried to use both dongle, only 1 is getting recognized. I had to re-pair it to my laptop after pairing it to my PC. Can someone help me have them both usable without paring it again and again?

[@amit4rou]

I actually like the sensor sitting a little lower... It helps to micro correct for 1 taps by pivoting at the wrist... imagine the sensor being upward more than halfway.. it would need me to lower my sensitivity to get the same feeling (while it would not be a major issue) but I would have to compromise the extra bit of high sensitivity for my flicks.... Also I liked the fact that the top mouse skates don't sit too much back and onwards towards the centre and the button height is lower (which for me helps in better aiming, it gives me more feel of the mouse in my fingers during micro adjustments) Rocket Jump Ninja yt talks about it

[@lucasdeoliveirafraga4030]

Interesting to see that you did not have spare skates at the box. Was waiting for this review. Just to see if this is a good "'poor mans Pulsar X2"'. Seems that the price with 4k dongle is too good to ignore

Interesting. My R1 Pro came with an extra pair of corner / smaller style skates included in the box.

Tiene que durar 200 horas, pero puede ser que te mandaron la versión pro, en vez de la pro max, pero aun así es buena la duración, no tarda tanto en cargarse

[@rohan2032]

Can this do wired 4k or 8k? The sensor it uses is PAW3395 which is similar to other 4k and 8k mice.

[@xdzzz0]

Nice review! So it's basically a half-priced X2 with better switches (Kailh is king & opticals suck). Sweeet! Sounds like a solid chance it'll be my main driver. I have one of these shipping atm; very excited about it!

[@xstupidg]

So what's your conclusion after using the mouse?

[@xdzzz0]

​@@xstupidg back hump wasn't big or wide enough for me. Prefer S2/Helios II. The slope from the top hump to the front is too aggressive for me. Feels too "low-profile". Convex mouse buttons don't help either. Hardware/component-wise though - its fantastic for the price. Mouse clicks are loud AF though and apparently prone to double-clicks.
