r/MouseReview
ViewTop Criticism
+5 pts“The 3395SE experience of R1SE+is similar to that of 3335. There is a noticeable sense of instability when lifting and putting down the mouse, and the battery life is indeed good, about 4-5 days. However, due to the 500mAh battery of R1SE+, the center of gravity is pushed back, which can be quite strange. R1 has a poor battery life and requires charging for 2 days,and they have no coating,very bad for sweaty hand.R1SE+and R1SE do not come with any other accessories except cables. I suggest purchasing the PRO series because it achieves the best battery and center of gravity balance, and has a coating. PROMAX has the same problem as SE+, which is that the center of gravity is far back (500mA), and the switches of PROMAX is a bit hard.”
