ATK VXE Dragonfly R1 specifications and in-depth review

ATK VXE Dragonfly R1

Manufacturer: ATK

The ATK VXE Dragonfly R1 is a right-handed gaming mouse built around a focus on low weight and versatile connectivity. Tipping the scales at just 51 grams, it occupies a compact physical footprint with dimensions of 120.6 mm in height and 64 mm in width, making it a notably light option for extended gaming sessions. It connects via 2.4GHz wireless, USB, or Bluetooth 5.2, giving users the flexibility to switch between setups without swapping hardware.

At its core, the Dragonfly R1 relies on the PixArt PAW3395 sensor, which supports a DPI range spanning from 100 to 26,000 and tracks at speeds up to 650 IPS with a maximum acceleration of 50G. The mouse operates at a 2000 Hz polling rate and includes six fully programmable buttons, among them a dedicated DPI switching button. Its rechargeable battery delivers up to 40 hours of use and supports operation while charging, though it is not removable. The design omits RGB lighting, a tilting scroll wheel, and extra weights, keeping the feature set focused and the overall profile clean.

Pros
  • At 51 g, the mouse is notably light, reducing hand fatigue during extended use
  • Tri-mode connectivity via 2.4GHz wireless, USB, and Bluetooth 5.2 allows flexible switching between devices
  • All 6 buttons are fully programmable, offering broad input customization
  • The battery supports 40 hours of use on a single charge and can be used while charging
  • A wide DPI range from 100 to 26,000 with a dedicated switching button gives precise on-the-fly sensitivity control
  • The 2000 Hz polling rate ensures frequent position updates for more responsive cursor movement
Cons
  • Right-handed only orientation excludes left-handed users
  • No RGB lighting for users who prefer visual customization of their setup
  • The scroll wheel neither tilts nor has a thumb-operated variant, limiting navigation options
  • No profile switching button, requiring other means to swap between saved configurations
  • The battery is not removable, so a depleted or degraded cell cannot be swapped out manually
Who is this for?

This mouse is well-suited to right-handed users who prioritize low weight and precise sensor performance in fast-paced gaming scenarios, particularly those where reduced hand fatigue over long sessions matters. The tri-mode connectivity — covering 2.4GHz wireless, USB, and Bluetooth 5.2 — also makes it a practical choice for users who regularly switch between multiple devices or setups, while the 40-hour battery life with use-while-charging support suits those who need reliable wireless operation without frequent interruptions.

Who is this NOT for?

Left-handed users will find this mouse entirely incompatible due to its right-handed-only ergonomic design. Those who rely on a tilting or thumb scroll wheel for horizontal navigation or multi-axis scrolling will also find the feature set limiting. Additionally, users who require on-device profile switching or prefer RGB lighting as part of their setup aesthetic will need to look elsewhere, as neither capability is present in this configuration.

Final Verdict

The ATK VXE Dragonfly R1 presents a focused, well-defined package for right-handed gamers who value a lightweight build combined with high-frequency sensor performance. Its 51 g frame, 2000 Hz polling rate, and versatile tri-mode connectivity form a coherent set of strengths that hold up well for wireless gaming and multi-device use.
