Why the R1 family is so popular
The VXE R1 line is known for one thing above all: light weight. Every model stays under 55g, which was a flagship feature a few years ago and is now available at very accessible prices in Bangladesh. The family covers entry, mid and flagship tiers, so there is an R1 for almost every budget.
VXE R1 and R1 Tri: the 48g flagships
The base R1 and the R1 Tri share the same 48g shell and the Pixart PAW3395 sensor with 26,000 DPI and 2000Hz polling. The R1 adds NearLink connectivity with a bigger 520mAh battery for up to 150 hours, while the R1 Tri is the cheaper option with 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and wired modes and around 40 hours of life. If you want the longest runtime, choose the R1. If you want the same speed for less, choose the R1 Tri.
R1 SE+: the special edition at 51g
The R1 SE+ uses the PAW3395 SE sensor and a Nordic chipset, weighs 51g, and comes with Kailh GE switches rated for 60 million clicks plus a TTC Silver scroll wheel. Its 500mAh battery gives roughly 35 hours at 1000Hz. It costs more than the R1 Tri, so buy it for the premium switches and coating rather than raw specs.
R1S: the sport variant
The R1S trades the flagship sensor for the Xhero AI optical sensor with 18,000 DPI and 400 IPS tracking. It matches the R1S series weight of 51g and pairs it with a 520mAh battery that lasts up to 150 hours. It is a great pick if you want tri-mode connectivity with very long battery life and do not need 26,000 DPI.
R1 Pro: 4K ready for competitive play
The R1 Pro is the same 48g shell with the PAW3395, but it adds the Nordic 52840 chip and is ready for a 4KHz receiver bought separately. The 250mAh battery lasts up to 75 hours at 1000Hz. It is the model to choose when your monitor and PC run at very high refresh rates and you want the absolute lowest latency.

Which one should you pick?
For the best value on a strict budget, the R1 Tri is hard to beat. For battery life above everything else, take the R1. For premium switches and build, choose the R1 SE+. And if you play competitively with a high refresh rate monitor, the R1 Pro is the one that keeps up.
