Pretty sure the malware thing with the Thunderobot is (at least at this point in time) a false positive. I got a generic alert from Windows Defender when I first attempted to run their installer, further investigation (with Kaspersky) didn't come up with any issues, so I went ahead. That doesn't prove it's safe of course, but I felt comfortable enough to try it. The software itself actually works very well.
I also think you shouldn't assume bad faith on the part of the manufacturer without further evidence - even if their software did contain malware at some point (I don't know if it did) that could be the result of a third party's attack on the company, rather than their own doing.
I love the AJ199. It's been one of my favorite mice since I received it. The only issue I had was the skates got beat up after a couple months, but I replaced them and now the mouse is just perfect for me. On top of that I paid $30 for it on Temu.
The aj199 is solid for the price and worth the gamble imo. I haven’t had any issues with it disconnecting.
I'd like to see AJAZZ address some of the issues I and other reviewers found and then it'd be really an easy recommendation. The shape and feel is great tho
@@UpgradeLemonade In indonesia ajazz aj199 has a rebranded version which is PressPlay Icarus V2, but strangely enough even though it's an OEM, the QC on this brand is better, the mouse I got didn't have a single problem.
Same… mine has been perfect so far, and the skates on mine are fine too. Loving it way more than I expected. I don’t mind the lack of usb extender since I have tons lying around already. I’ve used both the front usb on my case and my viper ultimate dock thus far.
@@sycho2882 where i can buy icarus v2 ?
My favorite mouse and I've been a logitech user for most of my life. Started maining the Pulsar V2 just to try something different and now it's in my random pheripheral drawer. no hate, it's the shape isn't for me. may throw some cheap mouse skates on the v2 though just to experiment with the feel of them. never tried glass mouse skates. as for the skates on my aj199, I put some dot jade skates on them. they feel nice
ah they reached out to me too and I'm waiting for the preordered stuff to ship, which may take a while. hopefully my experience will be more positive cause some of the shapes do look promising.
I do like how budget mice are progressing albeit seemingly risky with qc 😓 maybe we'll see a contender at this price range in a year or two
Yeah I think with some more time a few of the brands will shine as good options to recommend. Seems like beta testing atm so not something I'd recommend for most ppl. AJAZZ should be able to address those complaints though and then it'd be an absolute banger
they reached out to you? do you have an alt review channel or something? anyway, gonna throw you a sub. like your short clips experimenting with different things
Nice review as always! I have the same virus warning with the ML903. Therefore, I put my review on it on standby, for now...
Yeah very sketchy stuff .... 😬
So far no problems with the Ajazz Aj199 mouse, I bought new skates for the mice since I heard the stock skates weren't the best. I love the shape and I previously owned a gpro superlight but for me it had sensor issues which broke me. Glad I found a smaller alternative that actually worked nice for my grip style.
how is it now?
@@fqves still going very strong, great mouse overall
the AJ199 has battery saving feature. you only have to scroll or click to reactivate it.
I think cheap feeling is fair enough considering these are like $60 when most other companies are charging $100. Creaking doesn't bother me if it doesn't happen during normal use. Minor inconveniences are to be expected when cutting costs.
The random disconnects and software being a potential virus though... yikes. That should not be happening on nay mouse no matter how cheap
Even the music choice is different, cool xD
I had the darmoshark m3 for about a month and a half (i did install blue shell/pink dots and tiger arc skates as soon as i got it) and got the aj199 about 2 weeks ago. I havent has issues with them so far, maybe i will eventually but right now I'm content with them
Can you send the link to the tiger skates cos I just got the Darmoshark
that rocket jump ninja cameo tho :D
Good eye 😊
The malware thing is actually insane 🤯 I’m still tempted to get the AJ199 due to the shape and read it might be good for modding. I also have the VGN Dragonfly F1 on the way. Great point about the future support or even if these will be here down the line
Yeah I mean we've seen others have better luck with the AJ199, I think AJAZZ just needs to tighten QC and work on a few things. It's a very fun mouse and shape
I have base version of F1 Dragonfly. I actually liked this thing so much i ordered the Pro Max. This is the biggest positive suprise for me in years.
@@vjlle Awesome! 🔥 That’s some high praise right there. I ordered the MOBA version a few weeks ago! Hoping to get it next week
@@UpgradeLemonadestupid UA-camr iq 12
@@VoltaReviewsVGN has the best QC and build quality out of any of these small Chinese brands
Tbh my first mid tier by chinese standarts and years ago was cobra reddragon m711 i think, its was pretty good i would have kept it for longer than i did before getting model o wired when hype was on it, but cobra just had very very bad cable stiff and mouse was like 130 grams... But quality was solid
Yeah that's fair, I won't paint a wide brush and say they all fall into this category. For example AJAZZ could fix the few issues I and a few others found and it's be a fantastic mouse to recommend
Just got the AJ199. Will do some testing soon. It’s still in the packaging lol! Hope my copy has no disconnection issues.
fingers crossed you got a solid one :) its such a fun shape
How was it?
Yo! Should I get the m3s varun or the aj139 pro? I’m used to viper mini/gpro and roccar kain 102. I have 18cm,7/8/9cm hands. I mostly use claw and fingertip.
Got Ajazz mech keyboard and Thunderobot ML901 mice - best devices i ever had!
i used most of them there good and rebranded with changes in the outer shell they dont have the g logo then there not good?
So glad to see you didn't risk getting hacked for content. The mini gpx comes in the lightest blue I've ever seen and the grips included with it look similar to btl grips.
lol ya wasnt going to risk it with that.... but for AJAZZ honestly if they fix the receiver issue and update the skate design it would be a REALLY nice little package
Gwolves didn’t provide a receiver/extender with the HTX and said 1k hz is stable enough now that the extender isn’t necessary anymore.
But GWolves gives you the round receiver puck in the box ?
They have the square dongle or the round dongle receiver for 4K and have do extenders for Ace?
How to show ajazz aj199 battery life i download the software not showing the battery life ?
The only thing keeping me from going full on chinese mouse is the software razer and logitech makes life so much easier by switching automaticaly profiles it's a game changer for me not having to switch manualy or worse remap my side buttons every time I switch games
I've heard good things about the dragon fly f1 pro max, darmoshark m3, and rakk gahum. But I personally use a Ninjutso Sora
Sora doesnt get enough love :)
*MechKeys offers other brands and products beyond these, some from bigger brands too, so nothing against them personally. They don't make these mice.
darmoshark m3 mini review? saw a twitter post about them making a mini version but idk what happened after that
@@ApparentlyPeter mmm idk maybe maybe
@@UpgradeLemonadethe m3 mini has 2khz and is more of a xm1 shape
Luckily watched this vid, i almost bought it. Thanks!
Get a usb extension cord and put the end of it in your mouse bungee, and then put the usb dongle in it, easy.
i would like to see you try the dragonfly F1, people are saying pretty good things about it
I bought an F1 Pro Max and it was in great quality. Great quality clicks, no pre or post-travel issues, shell was solid with no creaking. Only small issue I noticed was a slight (and I mean very slight) wobble on my left mouse button, but nothing I really noticed in-game. I haven't tried it with the 4K dongle yet as I still feel like the GPX shape is better for me, so not using the F1 Pro Max as much as I would like.
ajazz aj199(new) or ironcat zero pro (used)
which one should i buy?
i got the ajazz aj199 and i love it
you should do the attackshark x3 :)
Edifier hecate g3m pro was $60 total shipped for me and its pretty solid
I'll probably circle back on other options to check them out later down the road
Did u try clicking the mouse while it goes into sleep mode btw? I haven't had any disconnect issue with the ajazz and i just switch it off when i go away ig but what i have heard about the sleep mode is to click the mouse button to activate it. Oh and i have replaced the stock skates with ultraglide skates from AliExpress
Yeah I did, fortunately like I said in the video sleep mode issue didn't happen again after I took it off the dongle.
Ooo thats weird. I got the white one cause it probably has had the least of the qc problems (my on/off switch is a lil off center ig) . One thing i did have little trouble with was getting the charging cable to work properly at first but that went away with a restart. Totally a banger if they just can fix all the issues. That being said they released a new one the aj139 pro i think? I wonder if u will give any reviews of that. 🐥
Love how they are expanding, apparently Delux was founded in 1994
Most of them are old companies either only selling in mainland or making the mouses for bigger companies or both at the same time
The aj199 does have a weird thing with sleep mode. I had to double click m1 to get it out of sleep myself.
But during play never had a disconnect. So far with the pulsar grip tape. I love the AJ. Great shape!
Shame with the Thunderbolt though. Mouse shape looked dope and with a dongle for $60 is wild.
yeah I think the aj199 is like 1 revision away from being a VERY solid recommendation. I just want to see them take the feedback and update some things and be tighter on QC. (plus them working on it shows the community they are listening and willing to stick around) just atm its a toss up which I dont like giving a green light to
I love the shape of the hts+, and the the AJ199 seems very similar to it except the hump is slightly less prominent.. so i am going to give it a try. It was $28 after tax on ali express, and I will put some core pads on it since the stock feet sound like they are pretty bad.
They aren't really that similar on the sides tbh, and the general shape isn't really similar - the Phylina S450 is a HTS+ clone though
Check out the VGN Dragonfly MOBA. Insane mouse for the price. This one might change your opinion on the Chinese mice.
Ya I'll circle back on some other options in the coming months , that will be one of em
Like the honest review, never tried these two. I agree though I definitely recommend spending the extra $40-$50 for a Lamzu 4k for example
Glad you enjoyed it 😊 and yeah plenty of affordable 4K /8K options (especially if you look at wired)
I recently got the Zaopin Z1 Pro and Ajazz AJ199 and I love both, although I am maining the former because that fits me better. Glad to see people are being more open to these niche chinese brands too.
I think with some revisions the AJAZZ could be a real solid contender , but I just like to see a bit more consistency before I recommend a product. It's still early days for these brands tho
@@UpgradeLemonadehasn't ajazz been in the market for a while before though? Well ig this is their first in terms of high end internals but haven't they been making some cheap mice for a while now?
@@sainder5248 I mean I think both brands have made other products but they are newer and much more unknown to the western market
Another fresh squeezed banger! Appreciate the good information and wise to not use it! WOW! Cannot have that in your software. sheesh
Ya LOL was a bit shocked....
To Wake the AJ199 from sleep, you have to click the mouse button, moving it won't wake it up
ya I tried it all, it uses a standard sleep mode like other mice, clicks should of turned it on :/
Attack Shark X3 is absolutely trmendous if you can handle a petite mouse
The X3 is not small lol
Why people have so many mouse? I don't get it. I have 4 gaming mouse as well and I still dont know why I buy them 😂😂😂
Honestly if you really like the shape of the ML9 it only takes about 10 minutes to setup a VM and download the software there and do all the setup for the mouse you want and then delete Virtual Machine. I've had to do it way to many times for other software before and its so simple to do.
I dont like the mouse enough to do that for my personal use.... but frankly thats a really poor user experience. I couldnt recommend others to do the same. but hey if they want to i guess
Man where i can get that grey mousepad looks amazimg
its not available outside china yet, brand is called Quaoar, the silver looks and feels really nice but its a VERY controlled pad. muddy
Review the QUAOAR pad.
Damn FlawlessTaste , great channel 👌 and ya it's in the plan but it's not available for purchase in local retailers yet. Beyond I think China atm. The one in the video the Neutron(silver) is very silky smooth and incredibly comfortable. But it's also very slow and muddy. So if you want extreme control for using ultra light mouse it can be good
@@UpgradeLemonade Thanks, so is yours. I know the team behind Quaoar, well. Just wanted to see some reviews that the brand deserves, so more people know them. Looking forward for yours and others in near future.
Anyone use Darmoshark M3? Need honest review please
there ok
Aj199 users, do you feel like the honeycomb shell is not as high as the other shell or is it just me?
Eh, felt about the same to me, just not having honeycombs is alot more noticeable.
But just to confirm for yourself buy yourself a digital caliper. Useful for a whole bunch of things even other then just this.
They are the same, it probably feels lower because your hand can press into the honeycomb
This influencer or reviewer i should say only says the truth.no BS. I hope there are a lot of him on youtube
Gotta disagree with you on the Aj199, it's been a really solid mouse, I have 40+ mice to reference to. It competes with a handful of mice in the market.
Nice, enjoy it
I exclusively buy Chinese everything. Except for their food, which is MID.
Their food is S-Tier, you are banned forever 😈
I exclusively consider all opinions about food, except yours, which is MID
VGN dragonfly f1, Kysona 600, Rapoo Vt9pro are the best cheap options, way more better then this two in the video
Darmoshark???
@@mapotofuu
Darmoshark is fine, but VGN F1 and its brother R1 are much better options, and the new kysona Aztec too
we love mice coming with viruses
LOL 😆
a Chinese mouse with malware😅 ccp wants to adjust your credit score 😂
😂
vgn dragonfly f1 moba or aj199
which one has better side buttons
I never tried the F1 , sorry
@@UpgradeLemonade plzzzz review it
Do attack shark x3
