Some time ago, Rapoo launched the VT9 lightweight mouse, and it is equipped with a V10C speed gaming mouse pad, a V1P wireless charging module, and a V2M receiver (4K type), forming a 4V combination that is impressive. Recently, Rapoo VT9 series has been upgraded again, launching two new products, VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini, which are lighter in weight, higher in configuration, and better in appearance, bringing us new personalized choices.
On the basis of maintaining the overall design style, a rope buckle is designed on the outside of the box to facilitate hanging and dragging, and the opening method of the box has also been changed to a flip cover, which looks more exquisite. The appearance is still the eye-catching logo of the product, the actual picture of the product, and the concise and concise description of the function.
In this upgrade, an obvious change comes from the color scheme of the exterior, VT9PRO Mini provides three colors: Ghost, Boundless, and Emberless. VT9PRO provides seven colors such as ghost, Wuji, no ember, no dust, scarlet cherry, Canglan, Xingxia, etc., and the insects get VT9PRO mini ghost, VT9PRO Xingxia.
Like previous products, the VT9PRO and VT9PRO Mini are equipped with paracord cables, USB adapters, buttons, anti-slip stickers on the side skirts, and spare feet in addition to the mouse and manual. It's a pity that the current anti-slip mat is only black, which is not too good with VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini light-colored models.
VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini are equipped with 18 meters of paracord power cable and USB adapter. It is worth mentioning that the data cable and USB adapter of the VT9PRO are light-colored, taking into account the consistency of the color matching. The data cable is lighter, softer and firmer, reducing friction resistance, effectively preventing pulling and breakage, and the interface adopts a gold-plated USB interface, which is effectively anti-oxidation and corrosion-resistant, has a longer service life, and maintains the transmission stability when wired is used. The USB adapter allows you to plug in the receiver and choose a more suitable location to reduce interference from surrounding wireless channels for a better gaming experience.
As an upgraded version of the VT9 series, the VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini maintain the consistency of design in appearance, among them, the VT9PRO (purple) weighs 68g and has a size of 1249*67.1*40.2mm, the same size as the previous generation VT9, but the weight is reduced by 10g, which has been greatly improved, suitable for medium and large hands, and supports grip and tummy grip.
The VT9Pro Mini (black) weighs less at only 65g and measures 1201*65.8*37.5mm, one lap smaller than VT9Pro, suitable for small and medium-sized hands, support grip and tummy grip. The two mice are still ergonomically designed with symmetrical left and right hands, which is more comfortable to hold and suitable for different user groups.
The VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini use an ABS slim shell, which maintains light weight and improves overall strength through an integrated overall design. Both mice are typical five-button mice that follow the design criteria of the mouse specification, including the large left and right buttons, the scroll wheel button (middle button), and the page turn button on the side. The top grip position has a raised Rapoo logo, which is very recognizable. In the middle seam of the left and right large keys, a hidden LED light is also designed to display the connection status and charging status through different green and white lighting effects.
VT9PRO and VT9PRO Mini are designed with great attention to detail. VT9Pro's scroll wheel edging and side buttons are purple, which forms the same color as the purple appearance of the mouse, and the scroll wheel is yellow, which forms a contrast with pink. The VT9Pro Mini features silver-grey scroll wheel edging and glossy lacquer on the side buttons, which contrasts with the matte mouse. The top of the mouse also outlines a "V" shape through the design of the cut edge, which is used to divide the key area and the holding area. These designs make the mouse look more designer and more sophisticated.
VT9PRO Mini also designs a glossy paint area on the edge of the right button, embellished with the RAPOO logo, which plays the role of the finishing touch, which is also an innovative edging flank, perfect for storage without pinching hands. In terms of key and scroll wheel materials, VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini use Omron 5000W button micro-movement on the buttons, and the e-sports type 1 million scale scroll wheels are correspondingly fast and accurate, comfortable and fast to control, more durable, and effectively reduce the probability of anti-mistouch.
The front end of VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini is a charging and data interface, which can be connected to a data power cable, which can be used for wired charging or as a wired mouse.
On the left and right main keys, VT9Pro and VT9Pro mini are equipped with Rapoo C+Click separate button preload adjustment technology, which separates the left and right micro motion PCB version from the PCB motherboard, adds pre-compression torsion springs, independently adjusts the feel of the buttons, and does not interfere with each other, effectively solving the problem of inconsistent feel of button triggering rebound caused by different grip postures and grips, comprehensively improving the consistency of pressing, and avoiding the cavity sound of mouse buttons.
Because the left and right micro-motion PCB versions are separated independently, the replacement of the micro-motion does not need to consider the trade-off of the adjustment, does not need to consider the balance, the operation is simpler, and the adjustment is easier. Enthusiasts can adjust the tightness of the screws of the micro-moving plate, adjust the preload stroke, change the feel, and get a more personalized control experience.
VT9PRO and VT9PRO Mini are equipped with Rapoo's self-developed V+Wireless wireless gaming technology, which has reached a response speed of 1 millisecondThrough the on-board antenna, adaptive signal enhancement, and frequency conversion gear adjustment, the wireless transmission performance of 10 meters+ has been achieved, and at the same time, through the Nordic low-power chip, combined with Rapoo's self-developed intelligent power-saving algorithm, the wireless battery life has been increased, and the reliability and stability of the wireless mouse have been further improved.
It is worth mentioning that because the two mice have built-in Nordic low-power chips, they can turn on Bluetooth mode and become wired, 24G, Bluetooth three-mode mouse. In Bluetooth mode, the battery life is further improved, and it will have an ultra-long battery life of 200 hours. In wireless mode, press and hold the middle button of the scroll wheel and the forward and back buttons on the side for 3 seconds at the same time to activate the Bluetooth modeIn Bluetooth mode, press and hold the left and right mouse buttons and the middle button of the scroll wheel for three seconds at the same time to turn off Bluetooth mode. This can be said to be a welfare easter egg given to us by Rapo.
VT9PRO and VT9PRO Mini are equipped with PixArt's custom 3398 optical engine (3395 high-end version), and Rapoo cooperated with PixArt Customization to jointly compare and tune, reaching 650IPS tracking speed and 50G acceleration. After updating the driver, mouse firmware, and receiver firmware, you can upgrade the 11-step silent height selection.
By default, 1000 500 250 125Hz drive rate can be realized, corresponding to 1ms 2ms 4ms 8ms transmission speed;After being equipped with a 4K receiver, it can achieve 4000 2000 1000 500 250 125Hz drive return rate, corresponding to 025ms/0.5ms 1ms 2ms 4ms 8ms transfer speed. In this regard, the previous experience of Rapoo VT series products has been introduced in detail, you can refer to the previous experience article, and will not repeat it here.
Compared with the previous generation, VT9PRO and VT9PRO Mini have added a red DIY button at the bottom of the mouse, and the default is DPI switching. Because the key is at the bottom and there are no necessary basic functions, the degree of freedom of customization is higher, and it is also effective to prevent accidental touches.
Subsequent drivers will bring new custom functions such as return switching (from 125Hz to 4000Hz), receiver switching (switching between devices connected to a 4kHz receiver and a device connected to a 1kHz receiver), and so on.
Compared with the previous generation of products, VT9PRO and VT9PRO Mini have increased the DPI+ and DPI- keys in the center of the left and right primary keys, and preset a total of 7 DPI switching of 400 800 1200 1600 3200 6400 26000. On the basis of the basic operation of nine buttons such as left button, right button, middle button, scroll wheel forward, backward roll, forward key, backward key, DPI+, DPI-key, etc., you can also customize the 9 keys through the driver, and expand more key control functions such as macro definition, multi-**, and key combinations.
VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini also support the expansion of the wireless charging module, with a hidden magnetic absorption and wireless charging module expansion compartment at the bottom of the mouse, which is convenient for the storage and access of the receiver, and solves the trouble that the receiver is easy to lose.
The magnetic absorption nanocover can be upgraded to a wireless charging module. After replacement, wireless charging can be realized, making it more convenient to use. Compared with the previous generation, the wireless charging module has been changed to a square design, and the accessory name is P3. The module works with a voltage of 5V, an output power of 5W, and a charging current of less than 350mA, which can be charged in about 3 hours.
The wireless charging module is relatively simple to replace, because the lightweight design of the mouse itself is very in place, after adding the wireless charging module, it will not add too much weight, which will affect the light feel.
After the mouse is replaced with a wireless charging module, it can be adapted to most wireless chargers to achieve wireless charging. VT9PRO and VT9PRO Mini have a built-in 800mAh lithium battery, which can reach 50 hours (4KHz return) - 160 hours (1KHz return) depending on the return rate.
VT9PRO and VT9PRO Mini firmware updates, 4K receiver adaptation, DPI customization, parameter settings, macro editing and other operations need to be configured and preset through Rapoo's official driver. In the program interface, you can select the product you want to configure. The interface and content of the VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini mice are basically the same.
In the dpi setting, 7 gears can be configured from 50 to 26000 dpi, and the dpi can be increased or decreased in units of 50 dpi, and assigned to 7 key functions correspondingly. In the parameter settings, you can set the Windows pointer speed, scroll wheel speed settings, and more detailed professional parameters such as USB report rate.
In the driver interface, we can customize the DIY key at the bottom and the 9 keys in the control area to achieve 1+9 personalized configuration, so as to better adapt to FPS, MOBA and other types of games, as well as the control needs of design and office software, and meet the accurate and personalized mouse control needs of different users such as gamers, programmers, and graphic designers.
Entering the macro editing page, you can record macro commands, trigger a series of commands through a button, you can simplify the game operation, quickly release combos, and be one step faster than your opponent. When programmers need to process data in batches and designers need to repeat operations repeatedly, macros will unleash more advanced productivity. In addition, through on-board memory and intelligent cloud storage, multiple sets of mouse preset configurations can be stored to quickly switch between game mode, designer mode and other modes.
From the perspective of actual use experience, VT9PRO is lighter than the previous generation, the ergonomic design is comfortable and reasonable, it fits closely in the palm of the hand, it is easier to drag and move, the operation is precise and precise, and the stability is very good. The trigger release of the button is clean and crisp, and the scrolling of the scroll wheel is very stable and accurate. In games or design software, the mouse responds quickly, moves quickly and accurately, and can be accurately completed with positioning, clicking, box selection and other operations, and there are few misoperations, which provides good support for users to accurately control the computer.
VT9PRO Mini is more friendly to women, teenagers and other users with relatively small palms, and has a smaller size and better portability, which is suitable for mobile office use. In terms of actual operation experience, it has the same grip as VT9Pro, and the control is precise and stable, and it has a good performance.
Overall, the VT9PRO and VT9PRO mini mice further highlight the overall lightweight design, add more personalized color options, upgrade the PixArt custom 3398 engine (3395 high-end version), increase two-way DPI switching, bottom DIY key, integrated with C+Click detached button preload adjustment technology, V+Wireless wireless game technology, 4K wireless gaming technology and other Rapoo "black technology" It supports wireless charging or electric contact charging module to expand the charging mode, and is the two mice with relatively powerful comprehensive performance and cost-effective among the lightweight mice. For users in e-sports games, mobile commerce, graphic design, office clerks and other application scenarios, there are more personalized and customized new options.
