Graphical Vs Comparison
Wow! The Monkeys 🐒 learnt to make Graphs!
| Physical Characteristics (mm, grams) |
|
| Sensor Characteristics (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better) |
|
| Latency Characteristics (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better) |
|
| Other Features (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better) |
| 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). |

VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max | Dream Machines DM1 FPS |
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 Dream Machines DM1 FPS, 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 DM1 FPS, instead, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 1 years old, being released in the 2023, while DM1 FPS is older, 4 years old, being released in the 2020. The production age difference is 3 year(s). This makes the Dragonfly F1 Pro Max 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 DM1 FPS mouse, Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is ~4.80 mm (or ~0.19 in) Shorter, ~4.50 mm (or ~0.18 in) Narrower and ~1.40 mm (or ~0.06 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 10.7 mm (or -0.42 in) moderately smaller and better suiting tinier hands.
Considering the weight, VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is 34% lighter, a difference of 28.00 g (0.06 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 Pro Max is meant to be Right-handed while DM1 FPS is Ambidextrous. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip by Dragonfly F1 Pro Max while DM1 FPS 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 Pro Max sensor with the one of Dream Machines DM1 FPS. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: PAW3395 equipped by Dragonfly F1 Pro Max and PMW3389 used by DM1 FPS. 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 Pro Max provides 25900 DPI/CPI, while DM1 FPS offers 15600 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has 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 Pro Max is offering 38% better Max Resolution, 10000 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, 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, Dragonfly F1 Pro Max shows a preferable value, 650 IPS, a great difference of 250 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.
Dragonfly F1 Pro Max has a Polling Rate of 4000 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 0.25 ms, while DM1 FPS is characterized by 1000 Hz or an input every 1.00 ms, making this last one having 75% worse Polling Rate. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of DM1 FPS shows an higher value, 1.8 mm, a significant difference of 0.60 mm. Anyway, Dragonfly F1 Pro Max offers adjustable lift off distance through software.
Click and Shift Latencies
VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max has lower click latency than Dream Machines DM1 FPS, a great difference of 6.40 ms, 56% 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 Pro Max and DM1 FPS 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 DM1 FPS has Huano; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 90 millions clicks while the second is 20 millions clicks, 78% better Lifespan, a difference of 70 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is better for Dragonfly F1 Pro Max, being this Virgin Grade PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 7 offered by first mouse and 7 offered by the second one, a no difference of 0 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the feature offered by VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is On board Memory, while Dream Machines DM1 FPS is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting.
