Best praise vs top criticism for Zaopin Z1 Pro
Best Praise
+42 pts“* VXE R1 A solid copy of the X2V2 mouse from Pulsar that is suitable for pretty much all grip types at a solid 30$ * Zaopin Z1 Pro is more of a traditional Egg shape that works very well for relaxed claw but is overall a larger mouse might work for you but might not, usually 30$ * VGN Dragonfly F1 is more of an original shape with a larger rear hump and shorter front end more 40$. * Attack Shark X3 has a solid shape like a smaller GPX and fairly solid feel, you can find it for like 20$ * Machose A5 is much the same, a smaller GPX but more of an exact GPX shape like 30$. * Delux M800 and M600 are both Viper clones, the M600 is the smaller one. Good for kinda all control types like 40$ * Puretrak Valor usually on sale for like 30$ is a direct GPX clone * Phlyina S450 is a HTS+ clone that's usually like 40$, pretty solid for claw grip overall a good mouse that has surprisingly good quality. * Ajazz has a ton of mice at different styles that are very solid. Some more GPX, omse more like the S450, and many others for mostly 30$. * Darmoshark makes solid mice that are their own kinda shape that are very solid for like 50-80$ * Keychron M2 is an extremely high quality mouse from a good keyboard company with it's own original shape 50$ * Attackshark R1/Metapanda01 is a near copy of the Deathadder Mini for 20/40$ Nearly every mouse on this list uses a 3395 Sensor and are about 50g in terms of weight. Performance will be mostly the same across all of them, and most all of them are solid and cheap. The Logitech one isn't bad, but you could get much lighter mice that fit far more handstyles for much less money with better overall sensors and are wireless. At that point why should you get the Logitech when the VXE R1 exists? Copy paste message from I don't remember who”

+3 pts“I have both mices. Bought the Z1 Pro initially because of my small hands (16cm) and relaxed claw. Used it for 6 months and it was a pretty enjoyable experience. The shape is just perfect to me. It also comes with dot skates, so I highly advise you to put them on because the glide gets so much better. Sadly, after 5 months, the scroll wheel started to fail and behave erratically, so the mouse got became pretty unusable. I strongly considered buying another Z1 Pro but hopped on the VXE R1 Pro bandwagon. I've been using it for 2 months now and will give my pros and cons compared to the Z1 PRO: Pros: build quality | coating | software | feels like it will last longer than my z1 pro Cons: as the shape of the z1 pro was practically perfect for me, everything else will not be as good immediately, but I've already adjusted to the VXE R1 Pro and now it feels almost as good as the z1 pro. I even thought about getting another Z1 after I had already bought the R1 Pro, but the thing is you just gotta be patient to adapt | default skates were kinda bad, mouse felt heavy and the glide just wasnt good, so I just replaced them with the dot skates from the z1 pro and now its pretty good Overall, In your place I'd get the VXE R1 Pro because the shape is super safe, which means everyone can use it and adapt, just takes time. The mouse feels of higher quality than the Z1 Pro and also more durable. As I said, I absolutely love the shape of the Z1 Pro, it fits perfect in my hand/relaxed claw grip, but I wpuldn't recommend because the egg shape is not for everyone and also because of the scroll wheel problem in my particular unit. I understand its a tough choice haha.”
