For many users, gaming mice have become the first choice. This is not only because they have a faster reaction time, but also because gaming mice far surpass traditional office mice in terms of grip and user experience. Today's gaming mice on the market are increasingly competitive, feature-rich, and the quest for lighter weight and higher returns.
Recently, I got my hands on the Rapoo VT9 Air gaming mouse. This mouse has been significantly upgraded in terms of appearance and hardware configuration, and more importantly, its smaller size design makes it more suitable for users with small hands.
Without further ado, let's just look at the acquaintance and get to know this mouse!
Appearance
The packaging of this Rapoo VT9 Air gaming mouse has been completely redesigned from the previous style to show a striking fantasy style, which perfectly fits the design concept of modern "conspicuous bags". Under different illuminations, its colors are unpredictable, exuding a cool and charming charm.
The VT9 Air mouse boldly adopts a translucent innovative design, and the transparent black design in my hand, and there are also purple, all-black and other designs, which fully meet the needs of different people. This translucent geek-inspired design makes the VT9 Air instantly recognizable, and it stands out with its unique exterior design that instantly recognises what makes it unique.
Rapoo VT9 Air is a mouse with a symmetrical design, but the button layout is cleverly adapted to the habits of right-handed users. Its body size is only 120x65.7x37.5mm, which is small and exquisite in the mouse market, and provides an extremely user-friendly experience for gamers. Not only does this mouse look sophisticated, but it also shows that it has thought out the needs of its players in every detail.
In terms of exterior design, Rapoo VT9 Air mouse inherits the essence of VT9 mouse, with smooth and elegant lines and comfortable support for the wrist. This design allows the user's wrist not to feel overly tired during long gaming use, which greatly improves the gaming experience.
After the extreme optimization of materials and design, the Rapoo VT9 Air mouse is as light as 60.8g, bringing gamers an unprecedented easy operation experience. As a wireless mouse, it excels in action games or first-person games, allowing gamers to enjoy the game world with unparalleled comfort and convenience.
In terms of buttons, Rapoo VT9 Air Mouse innovatively adopts the self-developed C+Click detached button preload adjustment technology, which makes the key trigger faster and more accurate. At the same time, the mouse is equipped with an Omron switch inside, which supports up to 60 million mechanical fretting movements, ensuring the durability of the keys.
The Rapoo VT9 Air mouse also performs well in the scroll wheel, which uses a professional-grade gaming scroll wheel with a lifespan of up to 1 million cycles, ensuring long-lasting performance. The feedback of the scroll wheel and the tactile feel of the scale are excellent, providing users with a precise and smooth operation experience.
The bottom of the Rapoo VT9 Air mouse is also excellent, equipped with 6 Teflon foot stickers. At the same time, the bottom is also cleverly integrated with a 2.4G wireless receiver storage compartment, which is convenient for players to store and carry the wireless receiver. The bottom of the mouse is equipped with DPI adjustment gear, which users can easily switch according to different usage scenarios to meet diverse needs.
Is it more textured after pasting the anti-slip sticker, of course, you may not think it is beautiful, but the feel is not worth a little bit, personal advice must be pasted, it is about to be summer, very useful.
The Rapoo VT9 Air's tiny nano 4K battery level display receiver is outstanding, and it's a receiver that's packed with features despite being small. It is not only equipped with a visual power RGB indicator and a connection code indicator, allowing users to intuitively understand the power status and connection of the mouse, but also realizes the power monitoring function, allowing users to grasp the power status of the mouse at any time, which is very practical.

What does the resolution and return rate of the mouse mean?
Mouse resolution (DPI) refers to the positioning accuracy of the mouse, in dpi or cpi, and refers to the maximum amount of information that can be accurately positioned per inch of mouse movement. An optical mouse with a resolution of 400cpi is sufficient.
The mouse return rate (i.e., rotation rate, sometimes referred to as refresh rate) refers to the transmission frequency between the mouse MCU (Micro Controller Unit) and the computer.
For example, if the return rate is 125Hz, it can be simply thought that the MCU sends data to the computer every 8 ms, and 500 Hz sends data every 2 ms. The rate of return is a parameter that gamers attach great importance to the performance of the mouse, and theoretically speaking, a higher rate of return is more effective for the performance of the mouse, which is more practical for gamers, and is usually set to 125Hz.
So what's the return rate of this Rapoo VT9 Air gaming mouse?
8000/4000/2000/1000/500/250/125Hz, this is the return rate of mouse support, but if you want to use 8K, you can only use it in wired mode, and wireless supports 4K.
Of course, these adjustments need to be supported by the driver, and the next thing is to share the driver points, only the key points are mentioned here, and the others are ignored. Oh yes, upgrade first, both the mouse and receiver have to be upgraded to the latest drivers.
When it comes to DPI settings, the Rapoo VT9 Air mouse shows great flexibility and user-friendliness. It provides 7 levels of DPI adjustment, from the lowest 400 steps to the highest 26,000 steps, to meet the needs of different users in different usage scenarios
The parameter setting is the most important thing here, if you want to trigger the 8K return rate, you have to be in wired mode, and the delay can also be set to 0.125ms, which is really happy for FPS gamers.
Macro editing can record multi-key combinations, release the ultimate move with one click, simplify game operations, and improve game efficiency. For example, the pressure gun suitable for shooting games, haha. However, I don't know if the game will be recognized as cheating.
Tested by Mousetest software, the Rapoo VT9 Air performs well in straight line correction, frame loss, and speed, with good coordinate point density and stable performance when sliding.
Experience the Rapoo VT9 Air in the actual situation, it feels light to the touch, and the Teflon foot stickers have strong friction and are non-slip. The button feedback is clear, the scroll wheel releases skills accurately, pointing where to hit, and the control is free. A wide range of adjustment options to suit personal preferences makes the overall performance satisfying.
