Redragon M801 Gaming Mouse LED RGB Backlit MMO 9 Programmable Buttons Mouse with Macro Recording Side Buttons Rapid Fire Button 16000 DPI for Windows PC Gamer (Wireless, Black)

First and foremost, the reason for only 3 stars is it lasted about 8 months before it started to disconnect itself from my laptop. I would go into devices, remove the mouse, then unplug it and plug it back in. It would work for about another day or two and then I would do the same thing. An annoyance, but something I can deal with. The disconnects became more and more frequent, and at about 9 months it stopped connecting altogether. For $40 I was hoping to get a little longer out of it, as Ive had Logitechs last me several years for the same price, albeit with less functionality. That being said, the fit in my hand is perfect, I love the weight (not too heavy but not super light), and I loved the functionality of the included programming app. I could switch between my work profile (where I use some buttons such as shft, ctrl, and entr for CAD programs, to a gaming profile where I would use fire and macros. The LEDs are cool but they kill the battery pretty quick, so I preferred the eco mode (which is just part of the on switch at the bottom). On eco, the battery would last upwards of two or three weeks of heavy use (8hrs a day for work) All in all, I am writing this review because after looking through Amazon, I really believe it is one of the best mice for the price, and Im about to buy another one. I hope it lasts a little longer!

The mouse is comfortable, and it moves very nicely on my mouse pad. I use it for all games. But the only game I can see people not liking it for are maybe FPS. It is a big mouse and its not the lightest. So flick shots and quick and many movements can make your wrist tired. But for anything else I found it to be absolutely perfect. When playing fps games I just adjusted my settings so I dont have to move the mouse so much to turn or aim. The 3 side thumb buttons are cool to, the extra 3rd one I use for PTT and it works very well. The scroll wheel is very nice and smooth but is not one of those wheels that keeps spinning when you flick it. The clickers are perfect and the grooves for hands are awesome. If your claw or fingertip mouse grip user you might not like it, but it feels like it was made for palm style. I do fingertip style and works just fine. There is a turbo button but I have not used it yet, but I hope it programmable to just be an extra button, minus the turbo. The lights are very nice and tasteful and they change color when low on battery and on full and med battery. I can perceive no lag on wireless mode. The software is super easy to use and looks nice. Overall its another awesome RedDragon device and they are now my go to for pc peripherals, they always exceed my expectations.

This is the best mouse Ive used in years. There is a groove to hold the ring finger in place, and it is overall extremely ergonomic. The lighting customization is great, you have the ability to change the color and behavior of the light on the logo and at the bottom of the mouse. Battery life seems to be pretty good. Only charged once the first night I got it, and Ive used it for five days now. Battery indicator in the Sniper software shows 90%. Unlike other mice in this price range, the buttons are EASY to reassign. Ive got copy, paste, etc. all set up and it took less than five minutes The only problem i had with the mouse was the sofware, was very hard to find because the page where it was suppose to be, is down. I did find it in a video on YouTube. For those thatre looking for the driver, heres the URL. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qBUIAez2yHGZI1b_hzM5_yQfYzgR2y3w/view

So I bought several of these mice originally because I have larger hands, and this looked like it would be an ergonomic fit for me. Im a casual Fortnite gamer, and I probably play 2-4 hours a day max. Nothing near what a streamer or even regular kid would do. To be honest I love everything about the mouse-- fit form, weight, accuracy, programmability, software, battery life, lighting, latency-- its all great. Where does it fall down? At the most basic level-- the physical build quality. After about six months of casual gaming the first one started getting jittery-- i.e. seemed like it was disconnecting from the wireless dongle (maybe internal antenna issues?). So I switched to another one I had purchased for a backup. After about 6 months on that one my left click button started failing. So I switched to the third one I bought that I had given my daughter (who doesnt game with it) and after about 6 months of using it the scroll wheel failed. If this was a $15-20 item I really wouldnt care. Because I could get 10 of them for the equivalent logitech and with a MTBF of 6 months, they would last me longer than a logitech would. But this mouse is in the $50 range, so Id expect maybe half the lifetime of a name brand with good QC. In reality I have realized 6 months is about the limit. Full transparency I didnt pursue warranty replacement even though I probably could have executed that for at least the first one that failed since it seems that Redragon MFR warranty period is 1 year, though details on that have been hard to track down. Maybe Im unlucky, but Ive had a 100% failure rate at around 6 months with 2-4 hours daily gaming. Also Im not a gorilla clicker either, I treat my digital input devices kindly. My gaming keyboard is 6 years old and still works great. Anyway take it for what you will, but I suspect the mechanical components of this mouse are substandard and wouldnt recommend for anyone who even obliquely considers themselves a gamer

Its a good mid-range rodent with a less than optimal battery life. You might get 4 days out of it. I dont know if this is indicative of most gaming rodents.

Its a great mouse, but if you want the most of it, youre gonna have to track down the correct software for it. The Red Dragon Zone has software for a mouse that looks very much like this one, but is NOT the correct software. If you want to control the colors of the mouse or customize it at all, youre gonna have to look up the cached version of the Red Dragon USA website, because at the time of writing this review, the actual website is broken. Ive included a screenshot of the correct software. Beyond that, its a pretty good mouse. Changing DPI on the fly isnt a setting I knew I wanted until now. It also fits the hand nicely. A bit iffy on rechargeable internal batteries, swapping out AAs has never been a problem... and the mouse has etchings on the bottom that are like the fake battery door on a childrens toy, but whatever. Well see how this goes from here.

The mouse is really nice and is actually and advantage in games. I tried playing some fortnite just because it was in the advertising and I actually won a solo game. That was the first time that’s ever happened. One problem is the software though. It doesn’t make any sense. There’s a tab that says light but I don’t know what light on this mouse is supposed to change. There’s 3 different lights on the mouse and nothing seems to happen when I change the lighting options. The only thing I’ve managed to do is turn the color of the mouse wheel to green which I don’t like but I can’t change it back. I’ve tried changing it while plugged in Bluetooth and usb direct.

I got the wireless mouse a few months back, and it worked great… at first… After a few weeks/months, the connection got really bad, and the mouse lagged across the screen. In case you may think it’s just my pc, I’ve plugged the mouse into my pc and it worked as it should’ve. The mouse looks, works, and feels great, but the wireless feature isn’t complete, and I feel isn’t worth the price-up. Thank you.

I bought this a while ago, and the price has gone up a fair bit, BUT this mouse is the best ever. I have not used a lot of gaming mice, but this mouse is incredible. The lighting is beautiful, the battery life is near infinite, the response time is instant, and it allows for so much customization. You can map the macro buttons on the side, change the dpi and assign the dpi buttons to very specific sensitivities, change the lighting colors/modes/brightness. This mouse is also super comfortable and fits perfect for my hand (however I have fairly small hands). Overall, this mouse is perfection, and I definitely recommend. The price may fluctuate but if you can get it for a price that you are comfortable, BUY IT.

Ive only had this mouse for a couple of days but these are my impressions thus far. At its price point this mouse feels quite sturdy and well built of quality materials and it has an eye-pleasing aesthetic. It fits my large hand comfortably and I can access all of the buttons easily. My only gripe is that the rearmost of the three side buttons comes pre-mapped to the shift key negating my ability to map it as I wish, but first-world problems, right? Moving on, I like that the mouse sensitivity can be adjusted right on the mouse and the under-lighting is a cool bonus to go along with the lighting on my keyboard. Additionally, the mouse can be used wired or wireless. Using it wired is how you charge it for wireless use. It will function wirelessly and with the under-lighting on continuously for around 9 hours, so thats a days work or a killer gaming session with no problems. Overall Im pleased with this mouse and would recommend it for all but the most serious of gamers and for those with a moderate budget.
