VXE R1 Pro vs R1: Is the Upgrade Actually Worth It?

The base R1 stunned everyone with flagship specs under ৳3,000. The R1 Pro costs more, so what do you actually gain? An honest breakdown.

VXE R1 Pro vs R1: Is the Upgrade Actually Worth It?

What stays the same

The winning compact shape, the featherweight feel and core wireless performance carry over. If you love how the R1 handles, the Pro will feel like home instantly.

What the Pro adds

  • 4K polling readiness for high refresh rate setups
  • Refined internals aimed at competitive players
  • Headroom so your next monitor upgrade needs no mouse upgrade
  • Same philosophy as stepping from 60Hz to high refresh: invisible until you go back

Who should stay on the base R1

If you play on standard refresh monitors and your budget has a keyboard gap to fill first, the base R1 at around ৳2,449 remains the smartest money in gaming gear, full stop. Its PAW3395 sensor already outclasses mice costing twice as much.

Our verdict

Upgrade to the Pro when your display does. Until then, buy confidence with the base model and spend the difference where your setup actually lacks.
