i've tried most of these. the atk dragonfly a9 pro has the best sensor and build quality out of the bunch - feels closest to viper mini shape but wireless. attack shark x3 is solid for the price but qc is lottery. x6 is heavier so skip for valorant/cs. mambasnake m3 is decent but software is janky. for claw grip fps, get the [ATK Dragonfly A9 Pro](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=ATK+Dragonfly+A9+Pro) if budget allows. if you want cheaper, [Attack Shark X3](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=Attack+Shark+X3) works but order from amazon for easy returns. the a9 pro's 3395 sensor and 4khz polling is worth the extra cash for comp fps.
Ok first of all, choose mouse size, because the MAD R isn't really competition for the Mchose A7 or ATK A9.
And yes, there is a big performance difference between the plus and the ultra. Though the A9 pro gets you basically all the benefits of the ultra for notably less.
Mad R is similar to the A9 pro except smaller then.
Mchose A7 pro is great, but if it's the Mchose A7 pro v2 would probably stick with the Mad R.
You can also look at other Mchose mice like the L7 ultra+ which is similar to the VXE MAD R in size. It's currently $52.70 on Amazon.
Mchose A7/Aula V9/ATK A9/ATK X1 are good for large hands. Also LGG La-1 sells batches with a small flex issue for really cheap if you can get that.
the Rapoo is also a good shout. and if you don't mind wired, the Deathadder v3 is good too.
>both in terms of actual performance and what’s just marketing hype (is 8K polling even worth it?).
>I’m **not too worried about weight** —
Funny you should say that, because the thing that affect performance the most is weight. (well the most of anything objective, fitting your hand matters the most)
I would say 8k polling is "worth it" only in that most of the good mice have it. It's not a thing to go for, and you will never use it, instead leave it at 1k-2k polling. But also, the best deals often have it by default.
Mchose A7/Aula V9/ATK A9/ATK X1 are good for large hands. Also LGG La-1 sells batches with a small flex issue for really cheap if you can get that.
The g203 is a pretty small mouse.
If you like the shape you can get an Mchose G3.
If you want a big mouse, ATK A9 (air is lighter and will still give well over 100 hours, ultimate has a bigger battery and will get you 600 hours) or RAWM Leviathan v4 are good choices.
ATK A9 air isn't much over budget right now and would be my recommendation.
If it has to be under budget, cheaper ATK A9s exist, but you do lose performance compared to a Superlight.
Nordic MCU is definitely one of the best. It's not the only game in town though.
All 3 are pretty good. I would get the Teevolution of those options, it's just as good and cheaper.
If you want something a little cheaper that's still high quality Mchose A7/K7 or ATK A9/X1 are also good options. Or the ATK Z1 for something closer in shape to the Teevolution
Attack sharks are terrible quality. We easily get 3-4 times as many posts about attack sharks breaking as any other brand.
I recommend Mchose A7/K7 or ATK A9/X1 for a large hand mouse.
You can also go more ergo shape with the Mchose A7 (RE) or ATK Z1.
I recently jumped from a Viper mini wired to an ATK A9 pro. Have you by chance considered mice from similar brands as well ? ( ATK X1 Series has the viper shape)
The gain in performance, latency is only slightly noticeable in some games. However, the bigger size/shape, lighter feel, better build quality and not having an annoying cable was a huge improvement for me.
