DAREU A980 Pro Max Review
Source: Tech Power Up added 10th Feb 2025
Introduction
DAREU is a gaming peripheral company based in China. Clearly modeled after the Logitech G502 and Razer Basilisk V3, the right-handed ergonomic A980 Pro Max comes with several features not present on either of those. While the shell is made of regular ABS plastic, the main buttons pieces are made of magnesium, to improve both click feel and durability. Internally, Kailh GM 8.0 switches are used, coupled with PixArt’s latest PAW3950 sensor, dubbed “AIM-750” by DAREU. Of note is the ability to define lift-off distance separately for lift and landing, similarly to Razer’s Asymmetric Cut-Off. The button layout includes two side buttons and a sniper button, and by designating a dedicated shift button, a secondary set of button mappings can be enabled in the software, and several such profiles may be stored to the on-board memory. On the left side of the mouse, a TFT display is present, which shows the current CPI and polling rate settings along with battery charge status, and button combinations may be used to change these settings. The A980 Pro Max features both 2.4 GHz wireless (NearLink) and Bluetooth, with up to 130 hours of battery life being cited, and polling rates of up to 8000 Hz in wired operation and up to 4000 Hz in wireless operation are supported. Configuration is done in the software, which has the usual options. The A980 Pro Max is available in black, white, or blue.
