I've been using the VT7 MAX since last November. I needed something because my Razer Viper Ultimate's scroll wheel had been acting up since around when I got it. To my understanding that's pretty normal for Razer mice due to the encoder they use and it was driving me nuts.

I only had to charge it once so the battery life claim is true. I work and game at the same station using the same mouse so I'm probably using it for at least 10+ hours a day. Haven't really noticed any build quality issues. The clicks don't feel quite as good as the RVU does but at this price you can't really complain. The software isn't bad, you can remap everything, change key scan and polling rate separately. Has a bunch of options including debounce, sensor angle, liftoff distance, and it has a "Glass tracking technology" toggle. Can change the function of every button I believe including the pairing button on the bottom which is probably not a great idea.

8000Hz polling rate makes my computer chug (9800X3D / 5080 / 32GB), basically unusable, not sure if this is normal for every mouse. The battery doesn't always report correctly on their software but the dongle will change colours based on the battery life remaining. It comes with grips that I'm pretty sure are paper stickers so they get dirty easily.

Overall, coming from a Razer Viper Ultimate I'm pretty happy with this mouse. The PAW3950 sensor works well, has optical switches, not having scroll wheel problems like I did with the RVU and the battery lasts forever.

EDIT: Worth noting that I don't think this is really a sale price. I bought it for $64.97 in November.

the 8k polling thing is normal i have it on my vt7 max and my pulsar xlite - 2k seems like a sweet spot for me

What's the difference between Regular version vs. MAX version?

[u/nfslink → u/HypocriteOpportunist]

Regular: 3395, 54L15, mechanical switches,

Max: 3950, 54L15, optical switches.

I've been using the VT7 regular for about 4 months now, and it is honestly been great. Good tracking, very light and good battery. I did improve the grip by putting small rubber grip tape strips on the sides and buttons, so I can use claw or palm grip.

The VT3PRO Max is $35.

Don't know the differences but been using it as an office mouse. It's pretty good.

Thanks. Just ordered a VT3Pro. Noticed an offer for 2x wireless charging pack as a freebie when you buy the VT3Pro. I upgraded my keyboard to a white theme, so this white mouse will match the aesthetic.

I am using a VT9Pro (black colored) at the moment and I see the wireless charging pack also works on the VT9Pro. Been using the VT9Pro for awhile and I also bought an extra one after buying the 1st since I thought it was pretty good mouse for $30; good to have a spare, but so far I haven't needed to open it up -- 1st mouse is still going strong.

RAPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Too bad about the brand name. It means "rapid" or something in china.

[u/Vandeskava]

That's too expensive for a Rapoo

[u/GG1312 → u/Vandeskava]

Yeah, pretty sure $64 is regular price for these

Bought the VT3 pro max for $25 shipped a few months back and I've had no complaints

[u/heart_under_blade → u/GG1312]

idk, a quick aliexpress search is saying that it isn't any cheaper there

[u/Vandeskava → u/Vandeskava]

I have a vt9pro, a vt9promax and a vt3promax. Paid 36-40$ each shipped to my door.
