Redragon K1NG 4K Pro

[pzogel]

Equipped with PixArt's PAW3395 sensor and capable of 4000 Hz wireless polling, the ambidextrous K1NG Pro 4K is Redragon's lightest mouse yet at just 49 g. Capable of both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth, the K1NG Pro 4K is also highly affordable at just $44.99.

This is not a bad mouse for the price. I use Redragon's M916AK which is technically the same (same sensor and all) but for a good price of US $36.

Their software is... significantly better than Logitech's stupid G Hub and Razer's Synapse. Amazing for a budget brand. The only thing that would make this better is if they had a QMK/VIA (web-based) equivalent for mice.

Sometimes less is more.

I was just thinking that Synapse isn't as bad as it used to be and it immediately asked for an update on two machines. Checking the \installer\razer folder I'd guess that I've downloaded about 1GB of synapse nonsense every 2-3 weeks for the last few years and not a single one of the feature updates or bugfixes has been relevant to me or my devices.

If I don't want rainbow cycling lighting though, I'm forced to have it installed.

Redragon's and Roccat's approach of a simple application for the device is question is vastly superior to thes Logi/Razer approach of an enormous, invasive, piece of software that has controls and drivers for all 4000 mice, keyboards, headsets, etc ever made by that company and the entire bloated library is updated every time any fix for any single product ever gets pushed out, whether it's the one you're using or not.

I missed the DPI is now CPI memo? why the change in terminology?

Thanks for the more affordable mouse review, though I still can't help but notice this is a flagship mouse and the cheaper 1K wired/wireless Redragon models outsell their more expensive offerings ten-to-one or more based on customer review quantities.

Same shell, same button and wheel profile, 42g is lighter still, the software is likely very similar to the King 4K Pro.

Most people, even those with faster 144-240Hz displays are going to ask themselves if they need 8K wireless polling and 26000cpi, and likely say no to both to avoid paying almost triple the money they need to.
