VGN, the maker of niche gaming peripherals, like the Dragonfly F1 Pro Max we reviewed previously , has just started revealing the latest in its line-up of gaming mice, this time vying for a world first. VGN Dragonfly King, as it appears to be called, made an appearance on Reddit , where it claimed to be the world's first wireless gaming mouse with a full magnesium chassis and no holes—at least in the top of the shell. VGN says that it has spent two years developing the shell, specifically mentioning wireless reception stability in the marketing materials. The official launch date on the shared promotional material confirms an October 15 release, although it's unclear if this will be limited to Asian markets or if it will be a global release. Pricing is also so far unclear, but it will likely not come cheap, since it is billed as a flagship original shell design with exotic materials, and VGN's other Dragonfly series gaming mice can cost as much as $100 already.
The new mouse features what looks to be a low overall height with a rear hump and aggressively concave sides. While we don't have information about the weight or dimensions just yet, the VGN Dragonfly King looks to be taking inspiration from the likes of the ATK Blazing Sky Duckbill mouse that launched recently, which would put it on the smaller side. One of the promotional images shows off an exploded view of the mouse and reveals that it is made of a base, internal skeleton, and a lightweight magnesium shell over the top. That inner structure will house the sensor and the MCU, while also adding stiffness and increasing the mouse's durability, according to translations of the included text. Given that the Dragonfly King is part of the Dragonfly line-up, it's safe to say that it will use the same combination of a Nordic 52840 SoC and dependable PixArt PAW3950 sensor with somewhere in the region of 100-120 hours of battery life. Exact weight is also unknown, although there is a lot of speculation that it won't be quite as light as the likes of the 41 g Dragonfly Y2 Ultra+, although there has been an attempt at weight savings with the cutouts in the bottom of the mouse.
