can you explain me how R1 is better? R1 is 51g, has 250mah battery K1NG M916 PRO is 42g and 400mah battery both have PAW3395 I have checked 3-4 reviews and K1NG M916 has a decent build quality with no creaking. I don't see how R1 is better R1 does have a web driver which is much much better than redragon's windows driver.

the website and all ads says mouse is 42g (item weight is 49g, so maybe it's 49g with dongle?) R1 uses beken, no idea what this mouse uses. Where did you find it uses "shitty Chinese MCU" (Beken is also chinese, there is no harm in being chinese anyways) Nordic mcu are only used in r1 pro/pro max variants which are significantly more expensive. Correct me if I am wrong anywhere Secondly even if that "shitty chinese mcu" isn't as power efficient as beken one, there is a huge difference in battery capacity. (250 vs 400mah). As for latency nothing can be said without proper testing. edit: Based on my research this mouse uses a Broadcom mcu

why is R1 better? R1 is 51g, has 250mah battery K1NG M916 PRO is 42g and 400mah battery both have PAW3395 unless K1NG M916 has an absolutely trash build quality K1NG M916 beats R1.

I have checked 3-4 reviews all reviews say it has solid build quality with no creaking. and a 10g weight difference is huge imo I don't see how R1 is better than this

I would generally recommend avoiding attack shark. VXE R1 is probably the best option. You can also look at some Redragon options, M916/M918/M996 have paw 3395s under $30. Or if you have the welcome deal for AliExpress that+11/11 Coupon can get you some nice mice under $30.

I would recommend avoiding most of those brands if you are on a budget. Something like the VXE r1, Redragon M916/M918, Royal Kludge M30 or M3 or any of a number of lesser known brands will give better performance for cheaper. Edit: the HyperX pulsefire Haste 2 doesn't look to bad for the price given the limited time deal on Amazon. What is probably a paw3395 sensor, 53 grams for $39 isn't a terrible price. Wouldn't be my first choice, but it isn't awful

Weebdragon I'm really liking my standard K1NG M916 Pro, I have tiny hands and it's basically the perfect fit for my particular style of claw. I can even palm grip it a little bit but it's not comfy for long durations.

Don’t sleep on the Redragon M916 mouse. It’s very good for the price. Unlike old Redragon items, a lot of new Redragon items have the same/cloned sensors, buttons, and build as Corsair, HyperX, Steelseries, etc. What you don’t get (and pay extra for) is the extensive software customization. If you’re a person who sets 800 or 1000 dpi forever, then Redragon is a good option.

people pay too much for this shit. i have $200 mice and $20 mice. a lot of the time the cheap ones are just as good. Recently, it's the Redragon M916 wireless. It was like $20 on sale and I find it better than the logitech G Pro X superlight that I paid 6x for

Just bought a Redragon m916 yesterday. Still waiting for the shipment. Have you decided which one to get yet?

VXE R1 is the default choice with ATK A9 and ATK X1 SE as alternatives. G304 and Razer DAV2 X HS as name brand alternatives though they are mediocre spec-wise. Redragon M916AK as something different and my pick as almost 50 million people in this sub have VXE R1. You will also get brand warranty with this one whereas the seller will handle it in case of VXE/ATK.

Had a M916 King briefly not worth it. Pulsar, Eweadn, ATK, Mchose, Incott are better options.
