The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is a lightweight budget wireless gaming mouse in VGN's Dragonfly lineup. It has a small- to medium-sized, symmetrical shape with a solid plastic body. It uses Pixart's PAW3395 sensor and connects using its included 2.4GHz USB receiver. It's also compatible with VGN's 4K wireless receiver, which is available separately.
There are several models in the Dragonfly lineup. See the Differences Between Variants section for more details.
Our Verdict
The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is a decent mouse for work use. It has excellent build quality and a comfortable symmetrical shape, and you can easily reprogram its buttons using the companion software. Unfortunately, its scroll wheel lacks useful productivity features like a free scrolling mode and L/R tilt inputs, and you can only connect to one device at a time.

The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is a remarkable FPS gaming mouse. It's extremely lightweight, so it's easy to move quickly and accurately. Its performance is nothing to scoff at either, with superb click and sensor latency that delivers a precise and responsive gaming experience. It also has excellent build quality and an accommodating symmetrical shape with mouse feet that glide smoothly across mousepads and desks.

The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is a good mouse for MMO gaming, though it's not specifically designed for it. It doesn't have as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO mouse, but you can reprogram its buttons using the companion software. Still, it has excellent build quality, remarkable raw performance, and an accommodating symmetrical shape.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is available in Black or White colorways. Some retailers offer special-edition co-branded colorways, including 'Ranni' and 'Tarnished' from Elden Ring. We bought and tested the White colorway. This mouse doesn't have a label.
There are other models in the Dragonfly lineup: The F1, F1 Pro, and the F1 MOBA. We expect these mice to perform broadly similarly to our unit.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse part of VGN's Dragonfly lineup. It has a symmetrical shape and uses PixArt's PAW3395 sensor, which you can run at 4000Hz with the purchase of an additional 4K dongle from VGN. It competes with mice like the Pulsar X2V2, the LAMZU MAYA, and the Ninjutso Sora V2. It offers nearly the same level of performance as these mice but at nearly half the price. That said, It's a fantastic choice if you don't mind going with a relatively new and unproven brand, with disconcerting companion software that you have to install using a Google Drive link.

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 and the VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max are lightweight wireless gaming mice with similar symmetrical shapes, with the Logitech being slightly bigger and better suited for larger hands. While both mice have remarkable gaming performance, the Logitech has a higher, 8000Hz polling rate and better performance across the board.
The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max and the ATTACK SHARK X3 are budget gaming mice. They have similar, small symmetrical shapes, but the VGN is slightly lower and flatter, while the ATTACK SHARK is slightly taller and rounder. The VGN is a better all-around performer than the ATTACK SHARK, with better click latency and sensor performance. It also has better build quality with a more solid assembly.
The VXE R1 Pro and VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max are lightweight wireless gaming mice from sister brands under the ATK/VGN/VXE umbrella. Both offer a similar shape and size that accommodates most hand sizes and grip styles. However, the VXE R1 Pro has slightly flatter sides and a more rear-positioned hump, offering better palm support for claw grippers. Performance is virtually identical, making either mouse a solid choice for casual or competitive play. The main differences come down to finish and feel: the VXE R1 Pro features a more premium "ice-feel" coating and a smoother, more responsive scroll wheel. While the VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max has a larger battery, the VXE R1 Pro also offers a "Max" variant that matches its capacity.
The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max and the Scyrox V8 are lightweight wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The Scyrox has a more aggressive rear hump that's ideal for claw grippers who prefer more palm support, whereas the VGN has a more traditional symmetrical shape that's more accommodating overall. The Scyrox is significantly lighter and has better overall raw performance than the VGN.
