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.
Thanks for making this video. I was thinking about buying this one, but I didn't think anybody would review it!
Thanks for the video, I'm just waiting for this mouse)
Finally, the R1 review gonna order mine now. Great review as always.
Hi Liam. Awsome review as always man! I am torn on what budget wireless mouse I should buy. How about a tier list of the best budget mice under 50$?
These video are by far the best!!!
Thank you for the video ❤
Absolutely loving this mouse.
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.
i bought the pro version 2 weeks ago and literally do not have a single complaint. i was afraid that i wouldn't like it coming from 10+ years of using ergo mice, but i found it really nice to hold in hand
I really enjoyed your video review. I subscribed to your channel.
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!
DO!!! I DONT LIKE THE X2 AND I LIEK THIS WAY BETTER!! EVEN FEELS BETTER THEN THE NINJUTSO SORA to me
Enqq
Im daily driving the x2 too atm but the battery has been terrible for me. This might be a good upgrade for me
@@emirx1126 Yeah I always keep my x2 on the cable unless im gaming because the battery died on me so many times mid-round ..
@@l1nkcs Do you know if the r1 pro max has 2k polling rate built in? im thinking of buying it without the 4k dongle but not sure if 2k is with the dongle or without.
could you review the r1 se, it has a special 3395 se sensor and i havent seen anybody talk about it
amazing review, the pro version is defo one of the best versions with the lightest weight and much cheaper!
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)
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?
@@Ash-of1yl yes, you'll love it
@@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.
@@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.
i bought the 2k hz version for 20$ off aliexpress, never seen such a price for a mouse of this caliber
Hi AimAdapt, I am from Philippines and I am now looking for a gaming mouse and I've been watching you this past few days and I really like your videos. I am now planning to buy this one in your videos, and I have a questions is I am required to buy the 4k Dongle when I am going to buy this one?
Sweet I hope I get my today.
amazing quality wow
could you pls link the moded batter that you put in the mouse ? i know the connector its smaller then usual.... ty for the video
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.
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 ?
@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
@@SevenKS77 is the r1 better than logitech 305?
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
Hey I was wondering what your opinion about F1 Moba vs R1 Pro/Max is? Thanks!
most important part of ANY mouse is shape thus better place shape part in the start of video
update after 4 months? i ordered 1 because of this review! just wanted to know if the great things disappear after a few months of use.
what is the battery jst size? have image for reference? or link?
Does this have aggressive comfort grooves like vgn dragonfly? also what's the difference between pro and pro max? just battery?
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.
Delux M800 Ultra
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!
@@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.
@@AimAdapt Would you recommend i upgrade from my logitech g305 to the VXE R1?
What would you recommend for small budget mourse?
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.
Would you tell me which one you prefer? This or ajazz AJ199 ?
got the r1 pro🎉. pray so that it runs for a long time cause i am in love with this beast.
does the legend reply??
@@eye999is it really good?
does it feel close to sensei or x2a?
@@sreakz actually it does. Its coating is one of the best that i have ever tried and the weight distribution is just unreal.
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
Can this do wired 4k or 8k? The sensor it uses is PAW3395 which is similar to other 4k and 8k mice.
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!
So what's your conclusion after using the mouse?
@@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.
probably gonna get this, seems like a reasonable alternative to a sora if you don't have the money to shell out over 100 bucks for a mouse atm. like me rn.
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.
Just got my R1 Pro Max and this thing is amazing !!! These Keilh White Blades are fantastic !!!
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?
Which one is better This or Rapoo VT9 PRO?
whats best lamzu atlantis budget "clone"?
can you check out the Attack shark R1 ?
can anyone please suggest me which one to go for - This mouse VS the darmoshark ms3 varun ( keeping in my it comes with 2k dongle included ) thanks
should i remove the screws under the skates or not?
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.
What is the difference between VXE R1 Pro Max and VGN F1 Pro Max? and which one is better?
What is the click latency of the R1 Pro Max mouse?
is the dongle not included in the r1 se box ?
Can you compare Dragonfly F1 and R1
would you say this is better than darmoshark m3s varun?
Apparently this is the same manu as the ninjusto mouse
Between the Delux M800 Ultra and the VXE Dragonfly R1 Pro Max, which of the two mice is the best option?
Id like to know as well. I'm in between these two mice too.
I got the R1 SE for $20. Couldn’t have gotten more bang for the money haha
How is the coating? Does it feel cheap?
@@migl_98 the r1 and r1 se don’t have coating
Can you use it with 1600 dpi and above?
@@jjempoy0854 i use it with 1600dpi just fine.
Just ordered one like 4 days ago lets see how its like
What's more worth it? The R1 Pro or the Pro Max?
hey :) what is different to the VGN R1 Pro max ?
VXE is basically an little bit upgraded version of VGN with a different shape
Can the 4k dongle also do 2k?
which one do you recommend VXE Dragonfly R1 Pro Max or VGN Dragonfly F1 MOBA?
I have the same question
THISS is my question too
guys what's better mouse switch kailh gm 8.0 black mamba or huano ice berry pink dot?
Huano Silent Brown
Pro or Prox Max, heard the switches are better on the Pro
Tempting!
what key debounce delay you recommend for fps like valorant?
I personally always recommend going as low as possible 0ms. If you are having any issues like double clicking or slam clicking then just adjust it up 1ms at a time until the issue goes away.
@@AimAdapt thanks 😁👍🏻
Just brought the r1 promax to replace my glorious series one pro for the 4k polling rate, hope i made the right decision😂cost me $112 new zealand dollars
is this the dragonfly r1 pro?
This mouse is closest to Ninjutso Sora
What kind of X-ray pad skates are you putting on this?
Jade
On my vgn r1 pro max the right mouse button started double clicking after 3 days:( I understand that I can configure this in the software, but it’s still sad
many people complain about the double click on the kalih gm8.0
What is click latency?
No logo is 🔥
Anyone know if the normal r1 is compatible with the vgn dongle?
if you are talking about 4K dongle, then yes, it's supported but it will be only 2k polling rate maximum
it is. should have 2k, if you talk about 4k dongle.
@Nered...its actually not lol.
I'm confused by the namings can someone help me pls 😅 Is VXE same as VGN? is it VGN Dragonfly R1 or just VGN R1 and VGN Dragonfly F1 is completely different right?
Lol they are from the same manufacturer just competing against itself😂
Yes f1 is different, f1 moba is like the vxe r1 pro max
@@Okay.997 thanks mate
Please i beg you can you answer, van you use this mouse on the ps5?😉
aren’t mouse and keyboard polling rates capped at 125hz on ps5?
Guys, is this compatible with the PS5?
I need some help, rn I have 100 usd for a mice? What I should buy?.
Logitech g pro x superlight
make an asmr video with ur voice pls😴🙃
This or aj199 4k?
this
cheapest i can find with dongle is aliexpress for 85 euro... not cheap... I can get the dormashark m3s pro for 50 euro... but app the VGE is better and supossed to be cheaper
Thats jus cap. Theres plenty sites that have that as low as 35 for the base model and like 55 for pro max
woow this video is so good eu coco comer
Guys, buy the Pro model, the clicks are way better than the Max, this guy likes heavy clicks.
I'm from Russia. And you are the only English-speaking reviewer that I like. I really appreciate what you're doing, go ahead. I have already written thanks for your form comparison, thank you. She should come to me next week.

@@mexiefire I didn't just write that I was from Russia. As I understand it, you wrote about the correct spelling of the language. I was writing through a translator, so... We can talk about the correctness of the spelling of the Russian language 🤡
bro video looks like 20 ~ 30 fps
купил 5 дней назад из стола выпал сломался пкм не советую не тратьте деньги на ветер
do not buy this mouse the switches absolutely suck balls
Used my friend's one, the build quality is garbage but that's expected from cheap 35 dollar mice, the skates are ok and the sensor has no issues. At this point instead of buying these cheap wireless mice the wired ones feel much better to use.

Had a r1 pro for 2 weeks now, no creaking, no click or scroll wheel play, just a bit of hollowness, but it's been solid so far.
@@bedodev Then ig there were qc issues
R1 se / R1 são de qualidade inferior simplesmente
