Dragonfly R1 Pro

I recently ended up ordering VXE R1 Pro, I've been wanting to order this mouse ever since it became popular around March 2024, but I never did because the seller i tried to buy it from the time actually sold out. So I never got it. But recently I found a d3al where it was cheap as hell, and so I ended up getting it. Here are my thoughts about it: Shape: Here's my first complaint. I'm changing from Chaos M3 Mini which is a VV3 Mini with heavy backhump. If you compare M3 Mini to R1 on Eloshapes it may look like these shapes are nearly identical with the exception of VXE being slightly lower hump and it flaring out more. But the issue why I don't think this shape works is because of the center grip. For me personally I find it too wide in terms of grip width, as I'm a believer of RJN's pen analogy. In comparison, M3 is an hourglass shape, but my issue with that mouse too is I could find it to be couple milimeters wider and lengthier. Another thing I find an issue with is I feel like the rear is a little too pointy. It'd be much better if it was a little more back and flared out more. Other than that, the shape is servicable. I'm able to perform well with it and I don't ever lose control trying to readjust my grip. And here's where the Minecrafter POV comes in: When I butterfly click I tend to palm my mouse, pushing the hump deep into my palm. But I noticed two issues. One, the click length. It's short. when I butterfly, my dip crease tends to hang over the clicks, which is very uncomfortable. M3, despite being 1mm shorter in length, has much lengthier clicks and because of it it's much easier to butterfly on. (2nd photo to demonstrate, not a perfect photo but you can see that M3 has lengthier clicks) And again, because the hump sits a little higher than I'd prefer, I need to push the mouse deeper into my palm than I normally do with M3, causing the clicks to feel even shorter. The benefit is the clicks are wide enough to put on both fingers on them, so I don't feel cramped when butterflying. Clicks: They're fine, they feel like lighter HBSPD, but not as spammable as TTC 60m. Barely any pretravel on center of the click, while on the front it becomes a little worse. The pretravel on the hand is significantly weaker, again not egregious on center of the click, but on the front It's baaad. I can't really offer on how the clicks feel themselves, as I don't seem to notice sharpness and tactility when it comes to mechanical switches. Jitter clicking on this mouse feels good, I'm able to get \~12CPS, albeit it I'm a little rusty at doing it. Butterflying feels alright, I get around \~19CPS, but TTC 60m's are much superior at butterflying though. Coating isn't grippy enough to drag click, and I don't like applying Grip tape because of its adhesive potentially leaving residue on the mouse. But its click tensioning is very good, so I'm able to get consistent results. Also my unit tends to pick up slam clicks, for anyone curious. Side buttons: Too heavy. Again, I'm a Minecraft player, and I tend to sort my hotbar using side buttons (My offhand is forward sidebutton). M3 has much lighter side buttons and because of it I'm able to navigate my hotbar much easier. Scroll wheel: Again, too heavy to scroll and to click, the steps are too defined, and I'm not able to scroll through as easily as compared to M3. Also the wheel itself can be smaller, It's too big personally, and it does get in the way sometimes when I butterfly. Coating: Smooth to the touch with dry hands, kinda sandpaper feel to it. I have really sweaty hands so when they do eventually get sweaty it's fineee. It doesn't slip out of my hands and it does stick to the mouse well. The coating on the M3 is better though, whereas R1 I wanna describe as not very rubbery and more sticky, M3 feels like an eraser/rubber in touch, and I much prefer that. Overall, coating's nice, just not the most optimal for me. Skates: Dyed skates, not exceptional. Can alter from smooth to scratchy depending on the pad. Not slow, but not necessarily the fastest either. They're alright. Build Quality: I leave it last because I don't got much to say, no creaking nor squeaking, no bending anywhere. Overall: I don't mind VXE R1, I feel like it's a good mouse, but when it comes to Minecraft I can't really recommend it. The clicks except for the main ones are too heavy, and I don't find it ideal for butterfly clicking. For Jittering it's good, because of its light clicks and good tensioning. I wouldn't recommend it for drag clicking stock, the provided grip tape should do a good job with drag clicking. Performance is really good for PvP, I don't feel any click or motion latency at best settings. The side button and the wheel click are too heavy, so if you're a Speedrunner who uses either of these for controls I wouldn't recommend it either.

Probably OP1 if your hands aren't too large, I don't necessarily own it but I know a lot of top speedrunners own the mouse (Dandannyboy/Silverruns to name off top of my head), it's good for drag clicking because of its tensioning (Albeit it I'd recommend getting griptape too). One potential issue is again the mouse might be too narrow, especially for butterfly as I don't know whether the clicks are wide enough, but I've heard from runners like Fruitberries that he's able to butterfly just fine.

Step 1 : you can use this tool to find the perfect fit for you --> https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/mouse-search Step 2 : you can compare the specs of your findings using this tool --> https://www.eloshapes.com/ The thing is that the first tool will likely give you somewhat elitist and -imo- overpriced gear, so Step 3 : for the models you like the most, let's say X. You can look for "budget alternatives for X" Then you can loop on step 2 and 3 until you find your match. Lately, I was interested in the hitscan hyperlight, but following this procedure, I ended up with a VXE R1 pro, which is basically the same mouse with half the price.

I got vxe r1 pro recently and it is good. I looked specifically for sturdy, wireless and no double click issue mouse.

I have the pro, and it's basically perfect. great shape, great weight, great coating, great battery life, great sensor, all at a great price

Yes, I would. Mouse from VXE and other brands can go for £20 here in the UK that are wireless and actually pretty decent for the price. I had a VXR R1 Pro and it was good. Currently on an Attack Shark G3 but I don't trust there software as I have to download it, recommend going for a mouse with web drivers.

Omron optical are quiet but not that fun to click. Huano blue shell pink dots kinda replace the high pitch glass breaking sound of Omron 20m/50m/60m/100m mechanicals with more of a mid-tone range sound, so are sort of quieter. Then switches like “Huano silent” are pretty silent but also kind of meh to click. The quietest Omron optical switch mouse I’ve used is Attack Shark R6, then ones like Mchose L7 with Omron optical are also pretty quiet. Like I said, not a huge fan of how opticals feel, though. Besides that, mice like Zaopin Z1 with it’s Huanos are pretty quiet also, and VXE R1 Pro. If you know how to solder AND do a plunger swap, then Japanese Omrons are more on the quieter side as well.

Vxe r1 the lower variant go for under 2.5 k and its the best mouse i have had, i have owned Logitech 304, razer death adder v2x hyper speed and viper mini. Currently using vxe r1 pro i would recommend
