The trend is still new
I believe that many players who like to play PC games have more or less some understanding of Rapoo VT9Pro series dual-mode wireless gaming mice, the reason why this series is more popular with players, the reason is very simple, the cost performance is too high. The hardware performance has reached the flagship level, the feel is also good, and the highest return rate can be achieved at 4kHz when used wirelessly, coupled with the very affordable pricing, it is difficult not to be favored by players. At present, the Rapoo VT9PRO series has launched a large and small male design, namely the Rapoo VT9PRO for medium and large hand players and the Rapoo VT9PRO Mini for small and medium-handed players.
Let's talk about Rapoo VT9Pro first, it may be that this mouse is too popular, Rapoo currently provides a total of seven colors to choose from, and the author has a light gray version in his hand. Most of the front area of the mouse is a light gray delicate matte design, while the scroll wheel, DPI switch button and two side buttons are embellished with bright orange, breaking the dull feeling that light gray is easy to bring, and the overall gaming style is still quite strong. In fact, this gray-orange combination can be called a more classic color combination in the field of keyboard and mouse, which looks low-key and energetic, and many keyboard and mouse players like it.
Another reason why many players like Rapoo VT9Pro is because this mouse looks a bit similar to Logitech GPW, but the author thinks that the feel of this mouse is actually more like the FPS weapon IO1 15 years ago1. Especially the tail of the mouse that is slightly wider and slightly warped, it provides a full and comfortable grip on the palm area, and it will not be empty like some low-lying mice, and it is not easy to feel tired after long-term use. The author is a CS player for many years, and I was very interested in io11I have always liked the feel, and now I am full of familiarity with Rapoo VT9Pro.
If you look closely, you will find that Rapoo VT9PRO not only adopts a concave design on the left and right side skirts, but also specially designed a small arc-shaped bulge in the transition area between the button and the side skirt, especially the right side is very obvious. Don't underestimate this bulge,122When the grip is adopted, it can play just the right role in supporting the ring finger,If there is no such design,The ring finger will feel very awkward,There are even a lot of right mouse button edge areas will continue to scratch the ring finger**,If it is an ordinary office use, there is no problem,But it is very uncomfortable for e-sports gamers who need to hold the mouse at all times。 There is also one on the left side, but it is not noticeable, and there is a slight convex underneath the side button to ensure that the thumb does not accidentally touch the side button when holding the mouse.
Rapoo VT9PRO is equipped with a total of five Teflon feet at the bottom, and a set of replacement floor pads is also included as standard. According to the author's experience, it takes about one and a half to two years for a set of foot pads to wear out to the extent that it seriously affects the feel, and for gamers, a mouse has been used for three or four years and has long wanted to change to a new mouse, right?
This red DIY button designed at the bottom of Rapoo VT9Pro is very useful, don't look at the general scene basically not used, but players can customize it in the driver to switch the return rate or receiver switching function, and the practicality is greatly increased instantly.
Although Rapoo VT9PRO does not have wireless charging function, it can be wirelessly charged by replacing the cover of the receiver storage compartment with the Rapoo P3 wireless charging module, as long as it supports the wireless charger of the Qi protocol. The reason why there is no built-in wireless charging function will increase the cost of the mouse on the one hand, and slightly increase the weight of the mouse on the other hand. Nowadays, this design can meet the needs of more players, and the entry threshold is relatively low. The performance in terms of battery life is also very good, and the official test battery life can reach up to 160 hours, of course, if you use the high return rate mode, the battery life will definitely drop a little, but according to the author's actual experience, one charge a week is completely sufficient.
In addition, taking into account the needs of sweaty players for anti-slip, Rapoo VT9PRO also comes standard with a set of anti-slip stickers, which can be said to be very complete in terms of accessories, and players basically don't need to prepare additional accessories after they get their hands.
Next, let's take a look at Rapoo VT9PRO mini, probably because Rapoo VT9PRO is too hot, the manufacturer has launched Rapoo VT9PRO Mini for players who like the feel of mice, this mouse adopts a similar design to Rapoo VT9PRO, but the figure has been reduced to a certain extent, and the two mice are completely consistent in terms of hardware configuration.
Don't think that Rapoo VT9PRO Mini is just a simple Rapoo VT9PRO scale reduction version, if this is the case, the grip will definitely be affected to a certain extent. In the case of ensuring that the appearance is basically similar, the curvature of Rapoo VT9PRO Mini has been completely adjusted, and the actual grip is very similar to Rapoo VT9PRO, the convex area of the right ring finger is still retained, and the palm area can also provide a good sense of support.
The only difference is that Rapoo VT9PRO MINI adds the brand logo to the transition between the right button and the side skirt, which also makes Rapoo VT9PRO Mini look like it has its own personality. However, after the author got started, I found that the main purpose of the existence of this logo area is probably not to create a difference from Rapoo VT9Pro in appearance, but mainly to take into account the grip of the ring finger part, because this is an innovative edging wing, perfect storage without pinching hands.
As I mentioned earlier, if the right side of the Rapoo VT9Pro series does not have that small bulge, the ring finger is likely to be scratched by the edge of the right button, and many mice that the author has experienced before have such a problem, and the feel is very affected. Although Rapoo VT9Pro Mini also has this bulge, after all, it is a little smaller, and there is still the possibility that the ring finger may be scraped, and the specially designed logo area is likely to play a main role in preventing the ring finger from being scratched. After all, there is already a brand logo at the end of the mouse, and it doesn't make much sense to add an English logo here.
Except for the different foot sticker design at the bottom of the Rapoo VT9PRO mouse, it is the same as Rapoo VT9PRO in other aspects, and it can also be used with Rapoo P3 wireless charging module to achieve wireless charging, and the battery life is also up to 160 hours.
Put the two mice together, you can see that Rapoo VT9Pro Mini is only slightly smaller than Rapoo VT9Pro in terms of figure, and the length, width and height of Rapoo VT9Pro Mini are 1201x65.8x37.5mm, Rapoo VT9Pro is 1249x67.1x40.2mm。
In terms of actual grip feel,These two mice are suitable for grasping and lying grip,The author is usually used to 122Lying grip,When using Rapoo VT9Pro,The front end of the index finger and middle finger is basically flush with the top of the scroll wheel,At the same time, the thumb and ring finger are a little away from the desktop,Only the tip of the little finger will contact the desktop when moving the mouse。 When using Rapoo VT9Pro Mini, the index finger and middle finger are basically at the top of the left and right buttons, and the other three fingers can be in contact with the desktop, but the feel of the two mice is basically close, and there is not much difference.
In terms of performance, both mice are equipped with PixArt's custom 3398 optical engine (3395 high-end version), DPI can be adjusted up to 26000, and both have 650ips tracking speed and 50G acceleration, and also support 11 levels of silent height adjustment, which is enough to meet the needs of all kinds of gamers.
And both mice can be used with the Rapoo V2M wireless gaming mouse receiver, so as to achieve an ultra-high return rate of 2kHz or even 4kHz, making the mouse swiping experience more delicate. If the DIY button at the bottom of the mouse is set to the receiver switching function, the mouse can be switched back and forth between the built-in receiver and Rapoo V2M, which meets the user's needs of connecting two devices with one mouse at the same time.
The author also tested the actual experience of the two mice in "CS2", using the 4kHz wireless connection mode, and found that the two mice not only have a close grip feel, but also the actual game feel is basically the same, and there is basically no obvious difference in the feel of the two mice when switching back and forth. However, due to the slightly lower height of the Rapoo VT9PRO mini and its slightly smaller body, it is more suitable for wrist flow players, while the slightly larger Rapoo VT9PRO is more suitable for arm flow players.
The left and right buttons of these two mice use Rapoo's self-developed C+Click detached button preload adjustment technology, and the internal micro-motion PCB board and the motherboard are independent of each other, and there is also a pre-compression torsion spring, so that it can play a role in independently adjusting the feel of the buttons. The micro movements are all Omron 50 million micro movements, no matter where you press the button, you can get a light and stable key feel, the rebound is also quite fast but not hard, the point shooting feel is quite good, and it is easy to win the MVP.
Overall, whether it is Rapoo VT9PRO or Rapoo VT9PRO Mini, it can be called a dual-mode wireless gaming mouse with excellent performance and feel, and the pricing is also very affordable, whether you like rats or mice, I believe there is always one suitable for you in this series.
