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 Pro Max and Darmoshark M3 4K, 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 Pro Max is meant to be Gaming while M3 4K, instead, Gaming mouse. The mice are aged similarly, 1 years old, being released in the 2023.

• 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 M3 4K mouse, Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is ~7.80 mm (or ~0.31 in) Shorter, ~2.50 mm (or ~0.10 in) Narrower and ~1.40 mm (or ~0.06 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 11.7 mm (or -0.46 in) moderately smaller and better suiting tinier hands.

Considering the weight, VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is 17% lighter, a difference of 11.00 g (0.02 lbs), which can be considered moderately 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, both mice are meant to be used with your right hand. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip by Dragonfly F1 Pro Max while M3 4K has Palm grip; the first one can be considered more adaptable, with a greater number of grip possibilities equal to 2 instead of the 1 offered by the other one.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max sensor with the one of Darmoshark M3 4K. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, and the same sensor model PAW3395. 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 the same resolution range (DPImax - DPImin) of 25900 DPI/CPI in which you can pick up the sensitivity that mostly suits your needs. They are offering the same Max Resolution, 26000 DPI/CPI, meaning that for the same length of shift the mice will recognize the same amount of movement, "reading" equal dots per inch and, in other words, they will move with the same speed on the screen.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, the models show equal values, 50 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, they have the same spec of 650 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 4000 Hz, in other words they report data to computer 1 time every 0.25 ms. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of Dragonfly F1 Pro Max shows an higher value, 1.2 mm, a small difference of 0.20 mm. Anyway, they offer adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max has lower click latency than Darmoshark M3 4K, a small difference of 0.50 ms, 9% better Click Latency, which can be evaluated not really 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 Pro Max and M3 4K 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 Pro Max has Kailh Black Mamba 8.0 while M3 4K has TTC Golden Micro Dustproof; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 90 millions clicks while the second is 60 millions clicks, 33% better Lifespan, a difference of 30 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is the same, Virgin Grade PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 7 offered by first mouse and 5 offered by the second one, a small difference of 2 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. The first one has a declared battery time of 130h (type: Lithium polymer), the second one has a duration of 130h (type: Lithium polymer) meaning a difference of 0h. In the end, the feature offered by VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is On board Memory, while Darmoshark M3 4K is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
