3. Setup
3.1 Initial Charging
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the mouse. Connect the included USB-C cable to the mouse's front port and to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The LED indicator will show charging status and turn off or change color when fully charged.
3.2 Connecting the Mouse
The ATK VXE Dragonfly R1 series supports Tri-Mode connectivity (Type-C wired, 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.4) on certain models (R1 SE+, R1, R1 NearLink). R1 Pro and R1 Pro Max models are Dual-Mode (wired/2.4GHz).
3.2.1 2.4GHz Wireless Connection
- Locate the 2.4GHz USB receiver in the storage compartment on the underside of the mouse.
- Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
- Turn on the mouse using the power switch (usually on the underside).
- The mouse should automatically connect. If not, press the pairing button (if available) or refer to the software section for pairing instructions.
3.2.2 Bluetooth Connection (Tri-Mode models only)
- Ensure your computer's Bluetooth is enabled.
- Switch the mouse to Bluetooth mode using the mode switch on the underside.
- Press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button (refer to your specific model's diagram if unsure) until the LED indicator blinks, indicating pairing mode.
- On your computer, search for Bluetooth devices and select "ATK VXE Dragonfly R1" (or similar) to pair.
3.2.3 Wired Connection
Connect the USB-C cable from the mouse to a USB port on your computer. The mouse will function in wired mode and charge simultaneously. This mode also allows for quick charging during gameplay.

The mouse supports smooth operation in both 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth modes and can be quick-charged via wired USB during gameplay.
4. Operating the Mouse
4.1 DPI Adjustment
The mouse features adjustable DPI (Dots Per Inch) settings, allowing you to change cursor sensitivity. Use the dedicated DPI button (if present) or the V HUB software to cycle through preset DPI levels or customize them. The PAW3395/SE sensor provides powerful optical tracking performance.
This image highlights the PAW3395/SE esports flagship sensor integrated into the ATK VXE Dragonfly R1 mouse, known for its powerful optical tracking performance. It also indicates support for a 4000Hz polling rate, providing a silky-smooth mouse experience. Note that 4K polling rates may require a separate receiver depending on the mouse version.
4.2 Polling Rate
The R1 series supports various polling rates, including 1000Hz and up to 4000Hz on certain models (with separate receiver purchase). A higher polling rate reduces input lag, providing a more responsive experience. Adjust this setting via the V HUB software.
