"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"Coming from the Razer viper ultimate at around 74 grams to the X2 Crazylight at 35 is a surreal experience, the mouse is basically as light as a feather to pick up and move it almost seems like it's not even there. ... As a fingertip grip user the feel of using a mouse this light is bar none, it makes it so much easier to pick up and re adjust and just moving it around with your wrist in fine movements it feels much more accurate and controllable."
"After the third run of another 15 miles a few days ago, I was sold and grinning from ear-to-ear afterwards. It's light, fast and propulsive, responsive, stable, nimble, grippy, comfortable, and protective. It pretty much does it all in a very lightweight package."

"it has the lowest click latency out of any mouse."
"no latency"
"VXE R1 I also considered the Pro version which has the PAW 3395 and 4k polling rate, it is balanced for the price of what it delivers"

"it literally took me 45 mins of setup for it to work for my s/o. ... to a normal consumer that just wants a plug & play mouse with simple instructions and a web / dedicated app like G Hub or Razer Synapse, it’s definitely a turn off for most. ... Well the software was easy to find, but it froze up a buncha times, it wasn’t in english and the language setting wasn’t at all easy to find at first, had to look it up, then it wouldn’t detect the mouse & when it did it froze up like 4-5 times ... Disappointed that I found the Janky V Hub first, but it’s still a sub-optimal user experience"

"VXE R1 I also considered the Pro version which has the PAW 3395 and 4k polling rate, it is balanced for the price of what it delivers, but it clearly has better ... The difference in sensors exists, and it is not a small difference between the 3395 and 3950. ... Just by having these better stats, the 3950 sensor effectively offers two things: - Greater precision in fast movements - More durability. It may not seem like it makes a difference, but having a sensor with greater power helps the mouse to have much greater CONSTANCE in various rapid movements. In CS2 or Valorant this is not very noticeable, but in a game like Marvel Rivals or Overwatch where greater tracking is required, the practical difference between the two sensors is noticeable."

AllenRaj 1.0Using Dragonfly VXE R1
BOSCO27 1.0Vxe Dragonfly R1 cost me $27.94 and it's performance is the exact same as superlight. It's even lighter than the superlight. The curve where your palm goes is slightly lower so user preference there but I'll tell you I switched from using my superlight as primary mouse to the dragonfly. If you want a superlight but can't afford it. I 100% promise you will find the same performance with the R1.
If the difference between someone's decision to get a superlight and a knock off equivalent is $7.94 then I don't even know why we are discussing this. But sure if you want to hit me with the "ahhh technically👨🏫..." Then you are right.
carah_dezins 1.0[**VXE R1**](https://c.lazada.com.ph/t/c.1HBxMv) is a good move for that price.
Chibi-Ruby 1.0https://meckeys.com/shop/mouse/vxe-r1-series/. Get the R1SE+ out of the options here. I used this Razer mouse and I had double-clicking right outside the warranty period
Forward_Drop303 1.0I 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
VXE R1 SE+ will be better than anything except the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 from your list, while probably being significantly cheaper.
I would recommend the VXE dragonfly r1. The SE+ version is 23.99 in their website but I would go for the $28.99 version if you can afford it. Redragon also has some decent mice in that price. (Including a really nice one specs wise for $19.99, but it has a weird anime style character on it) And there's a few more options if you are willing to brave AliExpress (or don't live in the US)
Mchose L7 is the best bang for buck. But only fits small hands (or medium hands for the pro+ and ultra+ versions but they cost more) VXE R1 is also better for $28.99 (lighter and better coating) but is still slightly smaller.
VXE R1 for $28.99 is maybe the best option. You can also find some Redragon options (M916 Pro, M918 pro, m922 pro and M995 pro) for sub $30.
VXE R1 is the budget option. It's internals aren't as good as the Razer options you mentioned, but but it's basically half the price ($28 vs $51) and basically half the weight(48 grams vs 70-88 grams depending on battery), so you will perform better using it and save money. Plus, it doesn't have any issues with the scroll wheel like the viper v3 did. The Mchose L7 steps you up to $33 but does start to give you better than Razer internals. And the L7 ultra is just straight up better than the Razer options for a similar price. SE+ version is better battery I think, but also not sure they stock the regular SE. Still I would say get the base R1 if you can.
I would probably say just get a $30 mouse that is actually good like a VXE R1 or Mchose L7. Or wait for a sale on a Redragon mouse, seen good redragon mice on sale as low as $10 (or $17.50 if you didn't want an anime character on your mouse)
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.
How cheap? The VXE R1 starts sub $20 for better than the Glorious model o pro.
VXE R1 is still good. But if you want a coating, might as well get the VXE MAD R or Mchose L7 series. Similar price as the VXE R1 pro (which is the one with a coating), but with notable upgrades, including optical switches.
No, the Fantech tanto S for fantech tanto e prices would be a good deal, but it seems like they just doubled the price things should be. My recommendation would be a VXE R1.
The base VXE R1, that is the VXE R1 pro and pro max. Which is good, but steps into a higher price bracket where better options exist.
Both have great build quality. But VXE has way better software (including a web app) And shape is subjective, but they are about the same size.
The sensor and using nearlink instead of a more traditional wireless solution. It's worse enough to maybe be noticeable if you tested, but as a human using it normally, you probably won't notice the difference.
Base R1 is a good shout, but the Harpoon is just garbage for the price. Mchose stuff is also really good, and TTC Gold scroll wheels are known to be good.
GekkoPi 1.0Just get the R1 not the SE. Attack Shark X3 and Kysona M600 are basically the same mouse. 3395 SE is basically a rebranded 3311. Kung naka sale yung Kysona Aztec you can also go for that one.
gloomycircus 1.0[VXE R1 SE+](https://meckeys.com/shop/mouse/vxe-r1-series/). Been using it for the past 3 months and i'm loving it so far. Excellent sensor performance, amazing battery life, and you don't need to install any bloatware to adjust its settings. There's a web app for it that you can use directly on your browser. Edit: As for the other mice, G304 has double-click issues, DAV2X is big and heavy, and Kreo is complete garbage. Dunno about the pulsefire.
Grand_Register_5964 1.0It’s alright, i would suggest maybe something else like vxe r1 series or lamzu Bought this when I didn’t do much mouse research 😬
The Lamzu, yes But VXE R1 offers better quality around the same price of chimera
KcTec90 1.0VXE R1 on atk.store. Competes with the G Pro X Superlight for a fraction of the price, it is SLIGHTLY below $30 too! Be warned of tariff costs though if you are in the United States. Also, this mouse is wireless, but you could just use it with the cable plugged in to make it wired if you really have to. I own the VXE R1 Pro, which has a better sensor, switches, and battery. I would personally buy that if your budget allows. I got it for $35 (before tariffs) on Aliexpress but now it is around $45 on [atk.store](http://atk.store) and is $50 on Aliexpress.

kparser2 1.0No way I can stretch to 2k mb. And I can find a vxe r1 se+ for 1.2k. I don't think 3395 is worth that much
