Product Review

Product being reviewed

A comparison of three budget gaming mice from ATK/VGN/VXE (same brand family), aimed at shoppers under ~500k VND:

  • VXE R1 SE+
  • ATK X1 SE
  • ATK A9 SE+

Key points mentioned

Color options

  • A9 SE: most vibrant colors (white, black, pink)
  • X1 SE: two colors (black, white)
  • R1 SE+: same as X1 (black, white)

Pricing / deal availability

  • X1 SE and A9 SE: both around ~5 “tires” (author’s unit), considered similar price.
  • R1 SE+: author suggests it’s higher-priced and doesn’t need hunting for sales (around 1.5× the typical 3–4 tire range).
  • V12+ (baseline mention): can drop to roughly 38–40 or even ~300 on sale; author says it’s very cheap.

Build quality / finish

VXE R1 SE+

  • Used for ~1 year; still happy with it.
  • Matte ABS coating; might peel later (typical ABS risk).
  • Coating feels sticky/grippy and smoother than X1/A9.

ATK X1 SE

  • A friend’s complaint centered mainly on grip/coating feel and overall experience.
  • Frame/chassis described as lightweight but on par with R1.

ATK A9 SE+

  • Reported as having the worst build quality (reviewer’s experience).
  • Click reliability issue: after squeezing hard:
    • X1 and R1 SE+ unaffected
    • A9 affected immediately
  • Click/tactility criticized further (also mentioned again later).

Durability / structural feel

  • R1 SE+ and X1: both lightweight with well-made chassis/sturdiness.
  • R1 SE+ feels less “soft” in the chassis than X1.
  • Bottom shell: has concave bottom like many prior X1 series models.
  • A9: explicitly called out for poor build and needing attention.

Technology / wireless claims

  • Reviewer doesn’t find major “technology” differences among the three.
  • MCU comparison:
    • One uses an older MCU lineage reference
    • Others use a “near dual-silicon” / Nearing MCU type (Huawei-related claim)
  • Theory claim (not directly measured by reviewer):
    • Nearing/near-link tech is slightly better:
      • More stable connection speeds
      • 3–6× better battery efficiency vs regular Bluetooth (per Huawei claim)
  • 2.4G details: little concrete info; mainly stated as battery-saving.

Main practical issue noted (X1 model):

  • Slight delay
  • “Performance mode” tradeoff: enabling it for performance drains battery, so it’s effectively similar to “draining.”

Sensor / tracking

  • All three are described as essentially using the same sensor approach:
    • 3311 / 18,000 DPI mentioned for R1 SE+ and X1 SE
    • A9 SE also uses the 3311 chip
  • Conclusion: no meaningful optical performance difference (per reviewer).
  • DPI usage mention:
    • 1600 DPI for Valor
    • R ping 1000
    • Reviewer says results feel the same because the mice are similarly limited/behavioral on those settings.

Main decision factor: click feel + hand feel (shape)

VXE R1 SE+

  • Recommended for small hands
  • Familiar egg/G102-GPro Hero style shape (author upgraded from G102/G Pro Hero)
  • Click feels smooth; scroll wheel smoother too.

ATK X1 SE

  • Shape similar to Viper V3 Pro (pro-friendly)
  • Click is firmer and rougher than R1/A9
  • Very low pre-/post-travel (tight/quick feel)
  • Works for small to medium hands; good for claw and fingertip grips
  • Author warns pom grip isn’t practical for this model
  • Click button described as tight, potentially because the mouse is short

ATK A9 SE+

  • Best for medium to large hands
  • Shape described as “ridiculous”/not ideal for small hands
  • Heavy/tiring clicks for reviewer’s hand
  • Buttons feel tight; back is higher
  • Clicking is slower and smoother, but not a major problem if you want quick input (reviewer hedges this).

Overall ranking by reviewer’s sturdiness experience

  • R1 → X1 → A9 (most to least sturdy)
  • A9 is the clear weak link due to build/click issues.

Pros / Cons (as stated or implied)

VXE R1 SE+

Pros

  • Smooth, sticky matte coating (good grip)
  • Smooth click + smoother scroll
  • Good for small hands; familiar shape feel
  • Used successfully for ~1 year

Cons

  • Matte coating may peel later (ABS risk)

ATK X1 SE

Pros

  • Strong/light chassis; good form factor (Viper-like)
  • Suitable for claw/fingertip; small–medium hands

Cons

  • Slight delay
  • Firmer/rougher click feel
  • Tight/short ergonomics; friend criticized it mainly on experience/grip

ATK A9 SE+

Pros

  • Great low price for the overall package
  • Good shape concept for larger hands
  • Decent performance overall (per reviewer)

Cons

  • Worst build quality in the comparison
  • Click issue / fragility under force (tested)
  • Heavy/tiring clicks, not for small hands
  • Click/back ergonomics can fatigue due to higher rear

Comparisons made

The reviewer compared R1 vs X1 vs A9 across:

  • Color options
  • Price/value and sale behavior
  • Finish/build durability (including a squeeze test)
  • Wireless tech (MCU/near-link and the X1 delay issue)
  • Sensor class (3311) → said to be equal
  • Ergonomics and click feel (decision-maker)

Ratings / numerical scores

  • No formal star score or numeric rating.
  • Informal pricing references and claims:
    • X1/A9 ~ “around 5 tires”
    • V12+ down to ~38–40 or even ~300
    • Wireless tech claim: battery efficiency 3–6× (Huawei claim, not measured)

Concise verdict / recommendation

  • Small hands + best overall feel: VXE R1 SE+
    • Smooth click/scroll, good grip coating, small-hand friendly.
  • Viper-like shape + claw/fingertip (small–medium hands): ATK X1 SE
    • Expect slight delay and a firmer/rougher click.
  • Avoid ATK A9 SE despite the price and larger-hand shape:
    • Reviewer reports worst durability/build and fatiguing/heavy clicks, plus a click/structure issue under pressure.

Overall: R1 SE+ and X1 SE are the two most recommended; A9 SE is the least trustworthy/least comfortable for many users.


Speaker views

  • Primary reviewer: Focused on coating, build durability, tech delay, sensor parity, and especially click/ergonomics; clearly ranks sturdiness R1 > X1 > A9 and recommends R1/X1 over A9.
  • Friend (secondary opinion): Criticized the X1 mainly on coating/grip experience (“quite a lot”).
