Many people's hands are relatively small, and even standard-sized mice can't be held comfortably, but many small mice on the market are basically office mice, with little performance and ergonomic design, and the use experience is not goodRapoo as a brand of professional gaming peripherals, of course, they will not disappoint the needs of users, so they launched the mini version of the existing lightweight model VT9PRO - Rapoo VT9PRO Mini Lightweight Wireless Gaming Mouse, because I have separately evaluated VT9PRO This excellent lightweight gaming mouse (infinite color matching model) has been separately evaluated, and this issue I brought VT9PRO Xingxia and Mini versions for combined comparison and evaluation.
Because these two mice are only a little different in shape design and size, the configuration, function, and performance are the same, so for the sake of the compactness of the article, I will try to merge and synchronize the comparison and display in each link.
The products reviewed this time are Rapoo VT9RRO Xingxia + Rapoo VT9RRO Mini white + Rapoo V2M 4K receiver white + Rapoo P3 wireless charging magnetic module white;There is no doubt about the overall style of the product packaging, continuing the Rapoo family design, the model on the left side is large + version logo, and the middle is the product rendering, and the overall design of the packaging is very attractive.
Take a look at the back of the mouse package, you can see that the mini version is pasted with a logo sticker for small and medium-sized hands, but this does not mean that large hands cannot be used, it only means that it is most suitable for small and medium-sized hand users to use comfortably, and then the two are the same elsewhere, and the appearance of the top view of the mouse is printed and the functional selling point.
Some parameters and specifications of the mouse and the bottom selling point are printed on the side of the package, and you can see through the diagram that the VT9PRO mini and VT9PRO bottoms are slightly different except for the size and distribution of the anti-slip stickers, and the rest is the same.
After removing the outer packaging, the inner box is an integrated design of the box lid, which saves materials and is more environmentally friendlyThere is also a sponge block in the middle of the cover, which can press the mouse body in the box, and it is not easy to roll in the box during transportationThe white packaging uses white sponge blocks, which is fine.
After taking everything out, take a family photo;In terms of accessories, except for the shape of the spare anti-slip sticker, the other accessories are exactly the same;The white one is the VT9PRO mini, and the purple one is the VT9PRO
It's a 18 meters of C to A paracord material power data cable, many high-end mice are made of paracord material data cable;But VT9PROMINI and VT9PRO their wiring is really very soft,And very light,There is almost no drag feeling when using a wired connection,It's similar to the feeling of wireless mode,Lightweight to the extreme;And the interfaces are gold-plated, and the antioxidant capacity is enhanced.
This is a USB converter and 24G receiver, the back of the converter is a C port, and its back is also pasted with a non-slip pad;The main function of this accessory is to extend the USB port on the computer to the desktop through the data cable, so that the receiver plugged into it can be kept away from the chassis and other devices, reducing interference;2.The 4G receiver is stored in the mouse storage compartment from the factory.
This is the VM2 4K receiver, P3 wireless charging module, mouse standard 24G receiver.
The top is a spare Teflon rubber pad, which has the characteristics of low friction and wear-resistant, and the bottom is a key anti-slip sticker, which is easy to sweat users when using these two mice, paste this on the left and right buttons to increase friction, and the side skirt part can also be pasted to improve the use experience.
The finale is the two protagonists of this review!Rapoo VT9PRO Mini and Rapoo VT9PRO Lightweight Wireless Dual-mode Gaming Mouse, dual-mode means that it supports wired mode connection and 24G wireless mode connection, but it actually hides the Bluetooth connection mode (I'll teach you how to turn on Bluetooth mode later).
Due to the difference between the two mice except for the shape design and size and weight, the rest of the place is the same, in addition to the appearance introduction, other aspects (including the driver software) are introduced in accordance with the configuration of the VT9PRO mini;If you encounter a place that needs to be introduced together, the following is referred to as "VT9PRO series";If you need to know about the VT9PRO stepless color matching model separately, you can turn to my previous VT9PRO review.
The overall appearance of the VT9Pro series is biased towards office and ordinary home,But it is mixed with a bit of e-sports elements,Because the size of the VT9Pro mini version has been reduced,So it will look more round and cute than VT9Pro,VT9PRO Xingxia model is a purple color scheme as a whole,More personality than conventional black and white。
The second half is also rounded with a little sharp line,There is no sense of disobedience to the integration of office and e-sports elements,It's very attractive,Very top,OverallVT9ProThe appearance design of the series is basically the same,In fact, you can treat them as medium cups and small cups。
This is the body of the V2M V+ wireless gaming technology mouse receiver (4K type), the one at hand is white, if it is matched with a full set of white devices, such as white keyboard, white mouse, white chassis, etc., it is still very good-looking;It uses Rapoo 4K wireless game technology, built-in NXP chip, after the mouse and it are successfully paired with the code, the VT9Pro series can support the maximum return rate of 4KHz, and the response speed is faster, what is the mouse return rate I will introduce later;And it also supports firmware updates to optimize performance step by step;It is also designed with RGB indicators, which can feedback the code status and the remaining power of the mouse through different color indicators (this 4K receiver needs to be purchased separately, not the standard configuration of the mouse).
The P3 wireless charging module is small and thin, because the battery capacity of the wireless mouse itself is not large, so the wireless charging power does not need to be designed to be very high, and the corresponding hardware volume is naturally small;Remove the reminder sticker to see its parameters and two contacts, through the back parameters to know that its wireless charging output power is about 1.75W or so;The white module is installed on the VT9Pro series that is also white at the bottom, and it will look more integrated and harmonious, of course, if you like mixed color matching, you can also choose the black version of the P3 module.
The overall design of the VT9Pro series mice is very streamlined and looks beautiful;The position of the left side skirt of the mouse has a side button that defaults to the forward and backward function, which can be customized to specify the function, and the specific key customization function can be set by the corresponding driver software of Rapoo, which will be introduced laterAmong them, the side buttons of the VT9Pro Xingxia model are also purple like the main body, but they are one degree deeper, and it feels quite good.
After comparing the side superimposition, I can see that the palm rest of the mini version will be significantly shorter and shorter.
Under the front of the mouse is a C port, through which the mouse can be charged and connected with a wired connection.
There are no buttons on the right skirt of the mouse, but both of them are very detailed in the design of a small bulge that can be held by the ring finger, thumbs up;Then VT9Pro Mini's right-click on the far right of this piece split out of the first I thought it was a custom button,After understanding, it is actually a very intimate small design of Rapoo,This edging wing is mainly to adapt to different grip postures,To avoid the use of part of the posture and hand shape,The gap between the rear of the right mouse button may be pinched,Consideration is really very thoughtful,Love。
There is only one printed Rapoo logo on the back of the mouse,This logo does not have RGB function,After all, the VT9Pro series is mainly simple and lightweight,Don't fix those extra effects,Reduce the weight of parts can be reduced。
The front of the mouse is still relatively ordinary at first glance, the left front is the left button, the middle front is the scroll wheel (middle button), the back of the scroll wheel is the DPI plus or minus key, the right front is the right button, which is the same as most of the mouse structure, there are a total of 10 interactive buttons on the mouse (the forward and backward scrolls of the scroll wheel and the press are all independent of each one), all are programmable buttons, and all the keys are using Omron micro-motion, 50 million times of service life, the press feels light and crisp, the trigger is fast, the rebound feels crisp, and the scroll wheel is an e-sports type 1 million times scale feel wheel, fast response to prevent false touch; Among them, the middle key scroll wheel of the VT9Pro Xingxia model is a mix of purple and green, and under the shape of the whole purple, a pinch of green is dotted in the middle, this design is really individual;The buttons of the two mice will be different in relation to the hand position due to the overall size, but the excellent ergonomic design makes both mouse suitable for use.
In addition to the 9 buttons that can be seen on the front,It also has a programmable button at the bottom,The conspicuous red button is,Because this custom button is designed at the bottom,So in most cases, it is only suitable for switching functions or switching mode buttons to use,For example, set this one to switch DPI,Then the front DPI button you can use to set other functions,This mouse also supports setting custom buttons as switching receiver,Put the standard 2.Both 4G receivers and 4K receivers are used, and it can even be switched between two different computers (theoretically, cross-computer switching has not been tested, and the same computer can indeed switch receiver connections).
What remains on the back of the mouse is a switch lever, module slot cover plate and photoelectric part, the sky blue part is a replaceable Teflon pad, and the sky blue protective film needs to be torn off when used;Remove the module slot cover and you'll see 2The 4G receiver is stored here (I took it off when I took it off), and it is stored to prevent loss when not in use, and there are two module contacts on both sides of the storage compartment;The VT9Pro series has a built-in 800 mAh lithium battery, which can work continuously for about 160 hours, because its wireless charging is an ultra-thin modular design, so the internal space can be freed up to plug a larger battery;VT9Pro series is equipped with PixArt Custom Edition 3398 optical engine (3395 Advanced Custom Edition), DPI adjustable range is 50-26000DPI, support 50-bit unit step by step adjustment, the popular point is: positioning is very accurate, response is very fast, no frame loss.
This is the VT9PRO series of operation in a tummy grip position,Their ergonomic design is very good,I don't know if it's big or medium,But these two are not bad to use,Very comfortable to hold,If you have to mention the difference,With my personal hand shape,VT9PRO will indeed be more full to hold,The mouse can be perfectly wrapped by my whole hand,VT9PRO The mini is slightly suspended, but these two can easily reach and operate all the buttons in a normal grip position, and do not interfere with other buttonsIf I use this VT9PRO mini with small hands, I feel that it is very perfect.
I used thermal imaging to shoot the difference between the two mice in terms of holding contact area, and let you know more about the contact between the two mice in the form of visualizationYou can see that with my hand grip, the VT9PRO is obviously more suitable for my hand than the VT9PRO mini, and the contact surface is larger, especially the mouse palm rest part is the most obvious.
Since the two modules have the same regional specifications, the wireless charging module is universal, and the receiver storage compartment cover is also universal and interchangeable.
2.The same is true for the 4G receiver, both models can be used interchangeably, of course, they need to be re-paired before interchange.
First of all, open the official website of Rapoo, enter and find the corresponding installation package in order of mine.
When installing, select the installation path all the way to the next step, open the software after installation, it will prompt that the device is being detected (the computer is connected to the mouse first, and then it will directly enter the driver homepage), and the mouse can be used by connecting the mouse to the computer with a data cable.
The new mouse has just arrived, and the first time you use it, you need to pair it with the wireless receiver (only use the wired mode and don't use the wireless mode, you can skip here and slip below).
First of all, dial the power lever at the bottom of the mouse from down to up, and the indicator light in the gap between the left and right keys will light up to indicate that the mouse power has been turned on.
After opening the software, enter the support page, and make sure that the firmware version of the mouse and the mouse is the latest version (can be upgraded in wired mode).
Then click on the code matching tool.
After entering this page, click the pairing button, step 1 will automatically light up, and then according to the prompts, connect the mouse to the computer with the data cable included in the package and plug the receiver into the computer (if there is only the standard short receiver, only insert the standard one;If you buy a 4K receiver separately, it is recommended not to use the standard one, just plug in the 4K receiver and it's OK).
When the first step is operated correctly, the software will automatically jump to and light up step two, at this time the page will display the prompt that the code is being matched, unplug the data cable according to the prompt, and will automatically jump to and light up step three after completion, and the receiver indicator has been in a flashing state, indicating that the code is to be matched (the code will be automatically extinguished if the code is not matched for a period of time), turn off the mouse switch according to the prompt, wait for a second or two and then turn it on again.
After the restart is completed, press the left, middle and right buttons at the same time, wait for a second, the page will prompt that the pairing is successful, and the mouse will respond to indicate that the pairing is complete.
After successfully matching the code with the 4K receiver and successfully connecting, you will see that there is a 4000Hz option when you enter the parameter setting page, and there is only a maximum 1000Hz option if you do not connect to the 4K receiver.
At the same time, one of the core hardware of the VT9Pro series is PixArt's custom 3398 engine, which can be tuned together with PixArt, and can turn on 11 levels of silent height to 01 precision open, which is very useful for players who play the FPS class.
Configuration settings,That is, you can save all the parameters that have been set as presets,Next time you can use it according to different usage scenarios、Used to play different games,You can directly click on the corresponding preset to switch to use,And the mouse body is also built-in with multiple sets of onboard memory,You can directly save part of the configuration to the mouse body,Replace the computer without software can also be called by default。
DPI setting, built-in 7 gear parameter presets for quick adjustment, directly short press the DPI button behind the middle button to achieve DPI addition and subtraction, and each gear can also be adjusted in a wide range, up to 26000
Of course, you can also set the custom button at the bottom to DPI toggle or set it to receiver toggle like I did, so you can switch between 2Switched between 4G and K4 receivers.
Parameter settings, you can directly set the speed of the windwo pointer and the speed of the scroll wheel on the page, so that you don't need to go into the control panel to find and adjust;You can also switch between the sensor silent height (in millimeters, a total of 11 stops) and the reporting rate, the silent height is the height that you can control when your mouse is slightly lifted off the desktop.
The higher the polling rate, the more the computer checks the mouse and the higher the accuracy it is at transferring the mouse position on the screen, which is why you feel that the mouse is precise and silkyThe first picture is the measured report rate of ordinary mice,I have tested a lot of models,The maximum is only125Hz,And the second picture is this VT9Pro series in 4K receiver mode report rate,The measured can easily reach2700Hz+,This data will also be affected by computer performance and display refresh rate,Not necessarily every time it will be full。
Macro editing, you can customize the recording macro operation for all keys, increase the efficiency of working games.
Yes, this page can check and update the driver version, mouse firmware version, standard and 4K receiver firmware version, language switching, and also turn on the functions of auto-start, disable automatic update, and display the taskbar icon as battery level in wireless mode.
Finally, the personal center is to register and log in to Rapoo's account, and you can upload all the settings and configurations of the mouse to the cloud, or configure the settings from the cloud to the local oneIf your left menu is not expanded, click on the small icon in the lower left corner to expand, and you don't need to expand it when you are proficient.
The latest version of the driver can be switched between different receivers on the same computer, and multiple mice can be switched on the same computer, which is great.
I won't shoot the specific game test screen, because the actual performance of the mouse can't be seen in the screen, and this really needs to be experienced by yourself to feel it.
If you are accustomed to using a low-end ordinary mouse, you will use this high-end gaming mouse again, you will find that the movement of the mouse pointer is very delicate and accurate, a slight displacement of the mouse can be captured in real time and fed back to the cursor movement in real time, most of the low-end ordinary mouse poke the mouse slightly, the cursor is not moving, because the resolution of the low-end mouse's photoelectric engine is not enough to capture such a slight movement, but this VT9PRO has a powerful gaming mouse engine, which can be very accurate. It captures every trace of the mouse's displacement very sensitively, and truly realizes where to point.
At present, most of the products of wireless charging technology can only be aligned with the center as much as possible to charge smoothly, and I believe that after the wireless charging technology is completely mature, it can be charged at any time, without realignment.
VT9PRO series because of the main lightweight,So most of the parts have been lightened design,The feeling in the hand is indeed a lot lighter than the general gaming mouse,Because most of the gaming mice are added to the weight gainer,Of course, I also hope that the VT9PRO series can also produce a magnetic weight block module,This will be suitable for a wider range of people;You can look at the specific weight difference, don't look at the data, there is not much difference, but the actual use perception is more obvious.
Although the name of it mentioned at the beginning is a dual-mode mouse, in fact, the hidden third mode - Bluetooth mode opening method is: press and hold forward + backward + middle button at the same time for three seconds, the LED indicator behind the middle button begins to flash blue light quickly to indicate that it has entered Bluetooth mode, and automatically enters pairing mode, which is more convenient than VT3S, because the opening and pairing of VT3S Bluetooth mode need to be operated in two steps.
Turn on the Bluetooth switch of the device you need to connect, search for the Bluetooth device named "Rapoo BT Mouse", which is the VT9Pro series, and you can start using it on the normal pairing connection.
Switch back to 2In 4G mode, you only need to press and hold the forward + backward + middle button again for three seconds, and the LED will turn back to greenBluetooth power consumption is low, so the battery life in Bluetooth mode will be greatly increased, and of course, the polling rate will naturally not be so high. The method of opening this hidden mode is theoretically applicable to all models of Rapoo that use the same main control chip.
The use experience brought by different product positioning is different, and everyone chooses the style that suits them according to their own use Xi, which will definitely bring a better use experience.
Finally, I'll end this review with another wave of beautiful pictures
