Red Dragon recently launched an M987 mouse, which uses a large-area punching solution to keep up with the trend, creating a lightweight fuselage. Large-area hollowing + side light strip scheme makes RGB very gorgeous, there is not enough external beauty, this mouse also uses PAWA3399 flagship optical sensor, performance party + face value party has a new choice.
The M987 does not use a rat line separation scheme, and this kind of parachute cord with good softness is the best wireless alternative, which is almost the same as the wireless mode.
Exterior details
The M987 adopts an approximate left-right symmetrical shape (slightly different left and right waist), a traditional 6+1 key layout, and a functional mode switching button at the bottom. The mouse adopts an integrated upper cover, and the hexagonal honeycomb cutout area is laid from the tail to the left and right button covers, occupying 70% of the surface area of the upper cover, so the logo has no place to be placed. There are also two through-line strips at the junction of the upper cover and the side skirt, extending from the front of the left and right button covers to the end of the mouse. Compared with the Red Dragon mouse on the market, the M987's left and right button cover outlines are still relatively sharp.
The waist of the left skirt is greater than that of the right skirt, and the advantage of this is that while taking care of the right tail finger and ring finger, the thumb grip on the mouse will be more realistic. It is worth mentioning two side keys, of which button 4 is covered with small bumps, and button 5 is a smooth bright surface, and the feedback of the two keys to the thumb is completely different, which is conducive to preventing misoperation.
The C-shaped footpegs occupy only a small area, and the rest is left to the skeleton mesh and the Model Switch buttons on the side. The M987 has on-board memory, which can be saved in the mouse according to the user's habits of setting 5 sets of key data, relying on the Mode Switch to switch configurations.
Mouse disassembly
PCB edges are covered with LED patch lights, this number is rare, can be determined to be able to subdivide the light effect. There is also a light guide layer under the upper cover, and this semi-transparent soft light plate is to diverge LED light, so that the LED light is not dazzling. The second effect is to reflect the light to the bottom, so the M987 can achieve a 360° immersive RGB experience without dead angles. What's more, it also prevents dust and stains from falling into the inside of the mouse, killing three birds with one stone.
The left and right buttons adopt the blue shell blue dot micro-motion of Huannuo, which has a click life of 50 million times, and one of its characteristics is the short key range, as well as a very crisp key sound, rapid rebound, and small sense of lag.
The DPI key and the middle key are also the micro-movements of cyclotropics, and the more economical black-shell red dot micro-movements are selected. The side key fretting model is unknown.
Encoders are common F-Switches
HOLTEK's 8-bit MCU processor
The protagonist of this article, the PAWA3399, the representative of high-performance optical sensors, allows this mouse to achieve the highest scanning speed of 650IPS and withstand 50G acceleration.
Usage experience
The cable-free weighs about 62g and is a member of the lightweight mouse. Needless to say, the control of horizontal mouse sliding is much better than that of 100g non-lightweight mice.
The overall size of the fuselage is about 123.8x64.5x40.5mm, medium slightly smaller size, high back, pay more attention to the needs of medium hand users. When holding the middle hand, if the palm is leaned back, although the fullest grip can be obtained at this time, the thumb is not easy to operate the button 4, you need to lean forward a little, the finger will perceive the edge of the left and right button cover. In the grip state, both of the previous situations have improved, which is a more compromise solution, and at the same time does not lose the feeling of excessive grip.
Drive the app
The M987 is equipped with a relatively full-featured drive with 7 lighting options to control brightness and speed.
The regular options that are used to change the keys, have multimedia, Windows features, and even have some game-specific features. Therefore, if there are relevant needs, saving the configuration files separately can be conducive to different occasions.
The DPI option can even be managed separately for the X and Y axes, with 50DPI and 100DPI as the basic gradient, adjustable from 50DPI to 40000DPI (sensor native 20K DPI), and the paper data is very powerful. The slight disadvantage is that the factory preset DPI gear value is not reasonable, and the user can redefine and store it through the driver.
MouseTester test
1000dpi/1000Hz
2000dpi/1000Hz
The flagship sensor of the 3399 excelled in MouseTester's XY discrete tests. Taking the 1000DPI gear to the 2000DPI gear with the highest application rate as an example, the X and Y axes are very rarely dispersed, and the dots and lines coincide perfectly.
Lighting effects
There is brightness in the driver software that can be set, but the difference between the lowest gear and the highest grade is not very large. Even if the room is completely dark, the lights are not dazzling at the highest brightness. Due to the fact that the upper cover is wrapped in a semi-transparent shell, the M987 does not have any light leakage, and multiple LED lights also make the transition between the lights and colors smooth.
Write at the end
Overall, the M987 has a hand feel that matches the performance parameters. PAW3399 naturally does not say much, take this mold, the high back is not covered by the long fuselage, the punching weight and improve the handling performance, but also ignored the software-driven debugging, is a high-performance good feel of the hole rat. At present, this mouse is being pre-sold on JD.com, and the pre-price is only 199 yuan, and the cost performance is very explosive.
