VXE Dragonfly R1S: The Best Value Triple-Mode ATK Mouse

The R1S comes in at 55 grams and is 120.6 x 64.1 x 37.6 mm. It has the Xhero AI sensor which can reach 15,000 DPI and a 1,000 Hz polling rate. The clicks are rated at 20 million by the Huano Blue Shell White Dot V2. It has 520 mAh battery and can last up to 150 hours. The USB Type-C connection is used for charging. The onboard memory is also compatible with ATK HUB 3.0.

What is even more surprising at this price is that it has wireless, wired, and bluetooth connections. The official specifications don’t mention Nearlink even though the name of the product says Nearlink. I am following the specifications in this review. The box comes with a 2.4 GHz wireless receiver that uses USB.

The Z1 V2 Ultimate+ has a 54g weight and is 122.5 x 66.8 x 42.4 mm. Compared to the R1S, it is slightly larger and has a higher profile which accommodates those that prefer to “palm grip” where the back of the mouse meets the user’s palm. The Z1 V2 Ultimate+ does not come in a left handed design and features a right-handed design.

Specifications include a PAW3955 sensor, with up to 40,000 DPI and 75 G max acceleration. The mouse features ATK optical switches, a TTC Gold scroll wheel, a Nordic 54L15 MCU, and ATK HUB software for Windows and macOS. An internal battery is good for up to 500 hours (mAh rating unknown). Included in the package is the USB wireless receiver, a charging cable, grip tape, and “White Dot” feet. Four features are different: 8k Hz polling vs 1k Hz, PAW3955 vs Xhero AI, 500 hour vs 150 hour battery, and a right-handed design vs symmetrical. The weight difference of 54 vs 55 g is negligible.

R1S does have one plus over Z1 V2: Bluetooth. If you use a single mouse across a variety of computing devices, R1S will save you some headaches over the Z1 V2 since the latter is limited to 2.4 GHz wireless and wired modes only.

Should your price range fall in between these two options, the X1 V2 Ultimate is a contender at 1,390,000 VND. This option sports an 8k Hz polling rate, an 800 mAh battery (good for 800 hours), the PAW3950 Ultra sensor, and a symmetrical form measuring 127 x 64 x 40 mm.

Choose the Z1 V2 Ultimate+ if you are a right-handed palm gripper that plays FPS games and you are after an 8000 Hz polling rate and a 500 hour battery. It’s also for you if you’re used to the ergonomics of a higher back.

The X1 V2 Ultimate is your pick if you want an 8000 Hz polling rate but prefer claw/fingertip grip with a symmetrical design. You will get the longest battery life with this model.

FAQs

Is there Bluetooth on the VXE Dragonfly R1S?

Yes. The product description mentions connection via Bluetooth in addition to USB (wired) and 2.4 GHz USB wireless. It’s important to note that the product name mentions Nearlink but the specifications don’t actually mention a fourth wireless connection type.

Is there a Z1 V2 Ultimate+ with a left-handed design?

No. There are no ATK mouse that come with a left-handed design, and the product page says this ergonomic mouse is for the right hand only. Is the R1S good for FPS?

The R1S uses an Xhero AI sensor and is 55g and 1000 Hz and 15k DPI. It’s great for the occasional game, but there are better choices at a higher price, including the Z1 and X1 V2 Ultimate which offer 8k Hz.
