\* The VXE R1 was a really affordable and great mouse / specs for around 40$. \* The VXE R1S just got released a few days ago, and cost a CRAZY 10$ only!!!! 55g and great specs too. There are few info right now as it have just been a few days, but check it out. [VXE Launches 55 g Dragonfly R1S Gaming Mouse At $18.99 | TechPowerUp](https://www.techpowerup.com/345383/vxe-launches-55-g-dragonfly-r1s-gaming-mouse-at-usd-18-99) \* I personally got the VXE Mad R Major for around 60$. 39g, PAW3950 sensor, everything there is great. To be honest I only use it in 1KHz, I feel like I could have gotten the R1S if I had to choose again. But still, I have to give it to the lightweight aspect of it that I really love (39g!!! My previous mice was a Logitech G502 Hero was 121g!)
I have one R1 Nearlink and Mad R Major+. I prefer the Mad R. Just ordered the R1s also.
i like the mouse of vxe r1 nearlink got no problems so far, but my gf needs a new mouse (the g305 isnt responding well) and im searching for an alternative, the r1 is already kinda similar but the clicks are a bit loud are there some recomendations for this case? (preferably budgety)
I’m pretty sure they are all the same when it comes to real world usage.
Yeah, totally. That’s why I said get the VXE. Based on my experience it’s one of the best mice out there.
Oh the R1 nearlink is brand new ig cause i dont remember seeing it before. Looks like a good deal on paper with even better battery life and no significant differences. Nearlink is probably a worse technology than the normal 2.4 ghz dongle tho which is why it requires less battery. However most people dont seem to have a problem with it so idk. The SE+ is an easy recommendation but you might want to look into the nearlink version if you want
MMO mices are an entire different category in case you didn't know OP. When you say MMORPG mices, these are within the lines of Razer Naga, Steelseries Aerox, Corsair Scimitar and the old Logitech G600. All of these feature 9+ side buttons which really gives you an edge in games like WoW. If you don't need the 9 side button for hotkeys, you can settle with a normal mice. For your budget, IDK if you can squeeze in a VXE R1 Pro. I just bought the R1 Nearlink for a little bit over 1k~ and it's on par if not better than my old G302. Feels incredibly cheap though but it is cheap so they have to cut corners somewhere.
>I have looked into other mice like the VXE R1s and Attack Sharks but the internet gives mixed reviews on the longevity and durability of them Yeah man, unfortunately mice like VXE R1s and others **will outlast** these Logitech and Steelseries mice.
Its by far not worth even the price its sold at today. It was a crap mouse back then, no comparison to the main line DA and its even crappier today. Get VXE R1S instead for half the price at 10$ while it is being a 4 times better mouse.
If your hands are on the bigger side, these mice might be too small for you, unless you like a smaller feeling mouse. Personally i could recommend you the Eweadn S9, its a Viper V3 clone that with good build quality, that is in this exact price range on ali-express. I use that as my everyday mouse because the shape is somehow really comfortable and is a good shape for a relaxed claw grip, i also liked the Mad R, but it feels considerably smaller, i have 18.5cm long hands and if i relax claw grip it, my fingers overlap the main buttons, which i liked, but just so you know.
AS R1 is definitely not considered large, but if that is your personal perception, than an L7+ or VXE Mad R or R1 will feel very nice to you, they do feel different, mad r/R1 are really flat on the sides with almost no curvature to be felt, L7+ is the opposite and gives a more locked in feeling.
The stuttering is most likely not due to the sensor, but to some other electrical component from the mouse, old AS mice just dont really have good quality. I have one suggestion for you, there is the new R1S from VXE and they have some kinda introduction sale, then you can also subscribe for the newsletter i think and save another 3 bucks, i bought one just for fun and it was 10$ which is kinda insane. If you are still in the phase of finding your prefered shape, i strongly suggest you try this. R1 is a really universal shape in my opinion, so you cant really fail with this.
technically worse, its their entry model, however if you are not an ultra tryhard, it wont matter. I also never heard of an R1N
ah i see, R1N is the R1 nearlink. its jus yet another different mcu. reliability will not be better or worse than anyone elses and for 10$ you cant do anything wrong. Also yes, just enter your adress and they will ship it to you.
