I had high hopes - ATK Blazing Sky F1 Ultimate | Before You Buy

The ATK Blazing Sky F1 Ultimate is a much-anticipated gaming mouse release with the latest tech that you would expect from higher-end gaming mice. It is capable of an 8000 Hz wireless polling rate with the high polling rate receiver included in this edition of the F1 Series and is fitted with Omron Optical mouse switches. While it has an interesting shape coupled with good performance from my testing, it falls behind in the quality of the materials and finishing.
There have been numerous reports of a lack of proper QC.
To some people it may not be a concern at this price point but for a company that has been producing gaming mice for quite some time now, I feel that it could do with some polishing and refinement before it can be a good recommendation amongst other gaming mice in this price range.
*This is NOT a technical review.
I want to keep my reviews focused on the topic and avoid comparing them against competitor products. Comparisons will be made in separate content!

I feel like sensors have gotten so good, that what separates great mice from below average mice is really the build quality. If companies have one thing they should try to nail, it is that.

[@mikerzisu9508]

Build quality and shape

[@GalacticYuna]

Yeah it's basically all about trying shapes, and tuning in build quality and weight

[@BassFraud]

I think the F1 Ultimate is fire 🔥 Light weight, affordable price, good shape and best sensor. Really enjoy my unit 😊

[@mymindisabullet]

Could someome please recommend a gaming mouse that's better than this but is around the same price group?

[@mogrimy1637]

Great review as always🤍

[@wasabitech]

Thank you! Cheers! ^^

[@qurat9788]

hey wasabi, which one would you prefer? vxe r1 pro or atk f1 ultimate?

[@im.deh11]

im not wasabi and i dont have the f1 ultimate yet, but i would recommend the r1 pro because the build quality is perfect. the f1 ultimate is getting a lot of bad review and ppl saying that the qc is bad, so i would recommend the r1 pro

[@wasabitech]

Well said!

[@eldemetrio5048]

how do you know if battery is full? there is no led indicator?

[@wasabitech]

You'll have to check it on the software :)

[@s0re5u]

9:33 got me LMAO. 😂

[@Flare97]

Hey man, great video. I love the shape of mine as well, but im also worried about long term use. Can you recommend any similar mice that are a little more durable?

[@flamd5769]

I want to know too! And with better QC ?

[@wasabitech]

Heya! Hmmm The shape of this is much closer to that of the Lamzu Maya. Not a 1:1 but very close! The Maya is nice mouse and I feel is a pretty nice buy and looks really good too! They announced the release of 2 8K versions and a Maya X which is a larger in size. I'll leave a link to their twitter page for you to check out :) x.com/Lamzugear

[@Flare97]

@wasabitech thank you, will keep that one in mind!

[@ASTROCR4FT]

final new upload

[@leosondek]

this or vxe r1 pro?

[@im.deh11]

[@leosondek]

@@im.deh11 awesome, i actually already decided on the r1. It's on the way!

[@im.deh11]

@@leosondek glad i could help, but just look out bcus some of the r1 pro qc is good but some has faulty clicks (grinding, squeaking, etc)

[@gastondiaz5762]

nice work as always wasabi, great video quality, what mouse do u recomend me for aggressive finger tip?

[@wasabitech]

Wow you're in luck! I've been testing the G-Wolves HTR 8K and its a brilliant fingertip mouse that you might be interested in! Though it doesn't allow for any other grip style haha. For traditional shapes it would depend on your hand size but most would prefer small or mini sized mice. The BeastX Mini is pretty great for fingertip and if it's within your budget, the Finalmouse ULX Cheetah Size is great for the fingertip grip style as well :)

[@casull2041]

waay better than a finalmouse tho at that price point. then again why get finalmouse when you can buy a wlmouse

[@32r23rrrr]

do you think r1 pro or f1 pro more worth?

[@mikerzisu9508]

No

[@wasabitech]

I would wait for their next release or see what else will be released this year :) There are quite a few new mice that are planned for this year

[@QuintinHowell]

A shame, unfortunately not equal to the sum of its impressive parts

[@wasabitech]

Yes that is a shame!

[@scottwangkl8882]

I personally have the F1 Pro instead of the Ultimate and based on my copy, I don't agree with the negatives you pointed out for yours. Perhaps the Ultimate edition was rushed, which contributes to the flaws out of the box but for me, the Pro version is an easy recommend for anyone that is looking to get a budget mouse that is similar in quality and specifications as the likes of Pulsar, Lamzu, etc. The coating on the F1 Pro black is great though. I like it much more than the coating on all of my Pulsar mice (I have 3 different Pulsar mice). Very similar to Lamzu's coating on the Atlantis mini in black, but a tad bit less chalky/powdery feeling.

I mean, almost all of these budget Chinese mice are all about the same quality. They all feel pretty cheap, probably because they come out of the same 1-2 factories in China. Atk, vgn, vxe, darmoshark, attack shark, kysona.... all the same. There are a few that stand out though, lamzu, dareu, pulsar (even though they have qc issues too). This mouse is no different than the 100+ others on the market that are essentially the same thing

[@rengoat7964]

Putting ATK VXE VGN in the same sentence with kysona is criminal lmao, it's a world of a difference. My VXE R1 pro has better build quality then my lamzu VGN dragonfly as well feels premium to me

[@mikerzisu9508]

@@rengoat7964 they are all the same Chinese manufacturers using the same factories bro. Don't be ignorant
