VGN Dragonfly F1 Review - 4K for all!

Ойындар

Welcome to my review of the VGN Dragonfly series! I have all three models, the Base Dragonfly F1, the F1 Pro, and the F1 Pro Max! The prices currently range from $40 for the base, $50 for the Pro, and $57 for the Pro Max, which makes the Pro and Pro Max the most inexpensive high-end spec gaming mice with 4K polling! Are these mice the best current value, or are they fool's gold? Find out in my in-depth review!
These mice were provided to me by Mechkeys.com to review, but as always, my opinions are my own and will never influence my reviews!

    Nice video! Question, however...: Since I'm using Linux these days I don't have the option of using mouse software. This forces me to rely on onboard profiles (or in the case of Xtrfy mice, no software at all). Does the VGN software need to stay running, or do the mice support onboard profiles?

    Which M800 Pro do you have? The one with the 3370 or 3395 sensor? Are you looking for something bigger than the M800? Both the Atlantis and GPX are bigger. The Darmoshark M3 is a large size mouse. Also you might like the upcoming Ajazz AJ139 Pro. It is a bigger version of the very nice AJ199. It should be similar shape and size of the GPX but only $40.

    I slightly perfer the shape and clicks on the AJ199, but the tech in the Dragonfly is better. I just got the MOBA model of the Dragonfly which added Huano switches so now the clicks are on par with the Ajazz. So the Ajazz has a slightly better shape, but everything else the Dragonfly Moba wins. I would get the Moba if I had to choose between the two.

    im curious, why does the wireless dongle need an adapter? don't wireless mice just require us to plug the USB straight into the PC's ports? I see a long wire connecting from the PC in this and other reviews of this mice ( I've seen this on other mice too and I wonder if it will be hassle to cable manage it )

  • @Gen3DTech

    @Gen3DTech

    Жыл бұрын

    Wireless mice work best latency wise when the dongle is 12-14 inches away from the mouse. I keep my PC under my desk because it is a huge full tower, so if I plugged them into the back USB ports the signal would not be great. The cable just extends the dongle to get closer to the mouse so it works better.

    If you have the Pro, Pro Max, or MOBA editions, it supports 4K. However, you need to purchase a separate 4K dongle, pair to that dongle, and then 2K and 4K will show up as options to select in the software.

    I think they only got a partial shipment from VGN, so they are just waiting on more product into their warehouse before they can ship out more orders. It's a very in-demand product due to the specs and crazy price. I wish I had more info but that it all I know. I would email their support. Maybe they have a date for the next shipment they are getting in.

    Thanks so much for the guide. I could not find the software without you and also some of the stuff I didn't understand what they do in the software. (100% VGN's fault btw they should have explanations for the features). Like why is sleep mode called "firepower mode"? Without this video I would not have figured it out but now that I know what it does I set it to 5 minutes, since I like to preserve battery life when the mouse is idle. Also "hp and lp" modes didnt make any sense until you explained so thank you. Otherwise mouse seems great for the money, but the software side could use some improvement.

    To be fair, VGN only intended to sell to people in China. They did not count on people like me working with companies to try and make it available to people outside of China. I believe they are working on drivers for people outside of China, but that they are still being developed. The first release was just a rough translation. I am sure a year from now, they will have much better support for outside of China.
