Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between VGN Dragonfly F1 and SteelSeries Rival 110, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, mice have different utilization aim, Dragonfly F1 is meant to be Gaming while Rival 110, instead, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 1 years old, being released in the 2023, while Rival 110 is older, 7 years old, being released in the 2017. The production age difference is 6 year(s). This makes the Dragonfly F1 kind of more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to Rival 110 mouse, Dragonfly F1 is ~0.60 mm (or ~0.02 in) Longer, ~4.50 mm (or ~0.18 in) Narrower and ~0.50 mm (or ~0.02 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 4.4 mm (or -0.17 in) different in size and not significantly influencing the choice based on own's hand size.

Considering the weight, VGN Dragonfly F1 is 44% lighter, a difference of 38.50 g (0.08 lbs), which can be considered quite significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, Dragonfly F1 is meant to be Right-handed while Rival 110 is Ambidextrous. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip by Dragonfly F1 while Rival 110 has Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip; this last one can be considered more adaptable, with a number of grip possibilities equal to 3 instead of the 2 offered by the other one.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare VGN Dragonfly F1 sensor with the one of SteelSeries Rival 110. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: PAW3395 equipped by Dragonfly F1 and TrueMove1 used by Rival 110. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the Dragonfly F1 provides 25900 DPI/CPI, while Rival 110 offers 7000 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has way larger range. Consider picking up the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, Dragonfly F1 is offering 72% better Max Resolution, 18800 More DPI/CPI.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, Dragonfly F1 shows a better value, 50 G, a moderate difference of 20 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, Dragonfly F1 shows a preferable value, 650 IPS, a great difference of 410 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

They have a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words they report data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of Rival 110 shows an higher value, 2.5 mm, a great difference of 1.30 mm. Anyway, Dragonfly F1 offers adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

VGN Dragonfly F1 has lower click latency than SteelSeries Rival 110, a great difference of 7.30 ms, 60% better Click Latency, which can be evaluated very significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare Dragonfly F1 and Rival 110 shift latency. Contact us to request priority data update.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, Dragonfly F1 has Kailh Black Mamba 8.0 while Rival 110 has Omron; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 90 millions clicks while the second is 30 millions clicks, 67% better Lifespan, a difference of 60 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is better for Dragonfly F1, being this Virgin Grade PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 7 offered by first mouse and 6 offered by the second one, a small difference of 1 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the feature offered by VGN Dragonfly F1 is On board Memory, while SteelSeries Rival 110 is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
