ATK - Dragonfly A9 Ultra

EDITOR'S NOTES It finally came out, huh? lol A while ago, the list 1.0 of the best mice on AliExpress was posted here on Sub, which was focused on Low Budget and more cost-benefit than performance. In this list we focused on prioritizing mice that are also cost-effective but with High End quality (that's why you'll miss some models like the Attack Shark X6, X11, AJAZZ models and others). Remembering that this tier list is based on personal experiences, leave your comment respectfully if you disagree and leave your Up if you like the work! Without further ado, let's go :D WRITTEN TIER LIST - S+: Scyrox V8, Scyrox V6, Zaopin ZPW Max, ATK F1 Extreme, ATK X1 Ultimate - S: Attack Shark R3, VXE MAD R, Attack Shark R5, Delux M900 Ultralight 8K Set, ATK Z1, MCHOSE A7 Ultra, ATK A9 Ultra - A: VGN F1 Pro, VXE R1 Pro Max, Zaopin Z2 Mini Max, Zaopin Z1 - B: Fantech Aria II, IYX Amber, Incott G23 Pro, Helios II Pro - C: Rapoo VT3 Pro Max, Rapoo VT1 Pro, MCHOSE A5, Delux M800 4k ABOUT THE TOP OF THE LIST - Scyrox V8 and V6: These two mice manage to deliver ultra-light weight, excellent construction, marked scroll, great finish, the best sensor on the market and still have an affordable price. (Same shape: Pulsar X2H) - Zaopin ZPW Max: A new launch on the market with an ergonomic shape that fits practically any hand size and grip. Although ergonomic shapes tend to have some flaws in the construction of the main buttons, this mouse managed to achieve the perfect construction.All that said, it has 8K and an excellent sensor at an affordable price, great value for money. (Same shape: Lamzu Thorn) - ATK F1 Extreme: This mouse has been on the market for a while now, but it is extremely consolidated with more of the same, better sensor, 8K and it still has the Ice Feeling coating, characteristic of ATK that helps with sweaty hands. This mouse also weighs 35 grams, making it extremely light. It's worth every penny for the quality of the material and finish, a top-notch mouse. (Same Shape: Razer Viper Mini) - ATK X1 Ultimate: The success of this mouse speaks for itself, it is everything that the ATK F1 is, but ends up being a little heavier and with a different shape for bigger hands. The Ice Feeling is also on this mouse and today it comes in metallic red and metallic purple, which may please some. (Same shape: Razer Viper V3) - IPI FLOAT: In this mouse segment, it is extremely cost-effective. When I say this, I am considering that it is practically a Finalmouse Low Budget, offering great performance but being 4 times cheaper than a Finalmouse. Some negative points would be its Feets and battery if you turn it on, but in terms of performance and overall construction, this mouse is incredible. (Same shape: VAXEE XE-S) A TIER A LITTLE LOWER - Attack Shark R3: This is a magnesium mouse that I can say the same about the IPI FLOAT: in the magnesium segment this mouse is almost 3 times cheaper than the main ones and delivers a great set. The mouse, despite being an Attack Shark, is very well built and finished, offers a great sensor and lightness, making your user experience great. (Same shape: G-wolves HTX) - VXE MAD R: This mouse is excellent, period. One of the ultra-lightweight mice, great coating, good price... so why isn't it S+? Scyrox is simply better in every aspect for a lower price, so it comes in at the S tier very well placed. (Same shape: Zowie S2-DW) - Attack Shark R5: To be quite honest, this mouse is almost a copy of the IPI FLOAT but has better feet and a better sensor, but it doesn't justify its price being almost 50% more than the IPI FLOAT, so it's in this position. (Same shape: VAXEE XE-S) - Delux M900 Ultralight 8k Set: This mouse has an extremely cost-effective set. Great coating, comes with Nano Reciver 8K, a new technology on the market, ergonomic shape that also has a good construction (not as much as the Zaopin ZPW Max) that pleases most hands and a great option for Claw grip, your hand simply rests on the mouse. (Same shape: Zowie EC1) - ATK Z1 Pro Max: This is a mouse that I didn't put in the S+ tier so as not to be too much of a club fan, hahaha. The truth is that the shape of this mouse is extremely comfortable for all hands, a shape that is used by several pro players in a mouse that is twice as expensive, it has excellent quality (after all, it is from ATK) and has a very good sensor and batteries. (Same shape: Pulsar Xlite) - MCHOSE A7 Ultra: the famous GPX shape in a really good construction (different from the GPX's own scroll wheel :p). The mouse is very complete and offers everything a high end mouse needs with excellent quality and shape for a price much lower than the price of a GPX, for example. (Same shape: guess what? Logitech G Pro Superlight 2) - ATK A9 Ultra: Pretty much the same description as the mouse above, it has the same shape as the GPX and is of excellent quality. It is a little more expensive than the MCHOSE, but it is ATK quality, in case you are unsure about exploring new horizons with the MCHOSE. (Same shape: Logitech G Pro Superlight 2) SOME FINAL CONSIDERATIONS Ultimately, all Tier S+ mice and even some mentions of Tier S have excellent quality and power, the difference will be small in relation to price (except for those in a specific segment such as Magnesium and Carbon Fiber), so the ideal is for you to choose the shape that best suits your hand and buy the one you like the most! I'm glad you guys are supporting me in the first tier, if you have any opinions, the comments are always open with a lot of respect! :D Tier list 3.0??

mchose A7(X) Ultra, ATK A9 Ultra/pro are safe recommendations

A7X Ultra because it‘s magnesium and has 0 pretravel and the clicks feel great. If that‘s too expensive (use vouchers) then I‘d get the ATK A9 Ultra

Hey sorry I didn't read the description. I would recommend you to look towards ergo mice. You should look towards ergo mice. May from rapoo or Logitech. But all ergo mice for me always fails with switches. Out of the list you have only Razer and ATK A9 will for your need. I am using a Razer Naga V2 pro for office or casual use as I have use for all the side buttons in my workflow. Earlier I used Logitech g604 which failed 2 time in just a year of use(double clicks) I use my mouse more than normal so i always want a optical switch in the mouse. You can also look towards Mchose G7 as it's also ergo on mid to large side.

I have A9 ultra which costed me 5k with 8k polling dongle. In your use case it not worth it. I am now only getting a mouse with optical mouse buttons no mechanical as I will get them to double click in just a year. Unfortunately all mouse with optical mouse button comes in either pro or ultra version which cost twice.

same issue, haven't found a way to fix it. very annoying, have R1 Pro and X1, no issue with connection, just A9 ultra gave me nightmares

This one is nice but for rapoo price/performance is better, while leviathan costs the same it has optical scroll encoder

personally, i wont, i would taher get atk a9 if i want same shape or rawm es21 pro if i want something else (actually there're more options but I think you should do your own research and not get everything for you), both would be 2x cheaper and same in performance (mb even a bit better), but if you want logitech, get it

I have atk a9 ultra. It's amazing for a relaxed claw grip.

atk a9 ultimate arrived some days ago, i am not very used to gpx shape, but is pretty solid

Honestly the Atk A9 is worth it, the build quality on my unit is really solid, no creaking no flex, amazing switches, good coating. All this at a non Logitech price too... Side by side with my GPX it really can't get any better

Neither because they are overpriced and the Logi is also very much outdated. If you like the shapes, then instead of the Viper V3 Pro you could get the ATK X1 Ultimate, and instead of the Logi Superlight you could get either an ATK A9 Ultra or Lamzu Maya / Maya X. Also not having to use Razer software is a pro.

Maya X and A9 with the same spec (3950+Nordic) will perform the same battery wise, the 3950 is a power hog especially with higher polling but you can expect 4 days straight of gaming on 1000hz, you might not even need to ever charge in the middle of a game if you plug them in during downtime/casual use. Even so when the Maya X starts blinking red to show the battery being 15% i can get an hour or more (possibly more if i let the battery drain tbh) of use from it before having to plug it in.
