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)

Ive had this mouse for a few days and I like it. Overall I like this mouse a lot and for the price I think its definitely worth it if you just want to combine a wireless + light gaming + basic rgb lighting. Pros -Comfortable to use -Good amount of battery life -Smooth cursor movements with multiple dpi settings -Nice rgb animation on bottom of mouse Cons -The mouse wheel doesnt light up even though the advertised pictures show it lighting up. Now, I dont think that this is an essential function to the mouse, but I am upset that the company would lie about this. If you know this however, then its fine, the rgb lighting on the bottom is pretty nice and smooth Still, I highly recommend this mouse if you have a tighter budget.

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 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.

My mouse works great. Software was easy to install. The only reason I cant give this mouse 5 stars is that I ordered it for its wireless AND wired abilities. But the USB receiver meant to come with it never showed. So its a great, wired only, mouse :/ :)

TL:DR it’s lovely, hooks up well, problems with finding download, fixed This mouse fits my hand very well, I am a woman with medium-sized hands and I could reach al buttons easily. I use a claw grip mostly. The only issue I had was in downloading the software. I could not find the M801 Sniper (which I received) only the M801 Mammoth. The problem lay in going to the website listed in the little booklet it came with, which said to go to “redragonzone.com” - don’t! The box it comes in also has information on a sticker which tells you to go to “redragonusa.com” (if you are in the US obviously). This is where you will find your product to download the proper software. It was a breeze to set up the keybindings then!

My wife purchased this as an anniversary present and was really proud that she picked one out from a short list of ones I had shown interest in. The problem with my mouse is that the optical sensor seems to be bad. I used it for just barely over 1 month and now the mouse is unusable. The cursor skips and stutters making it impossible play games or even scroll a webpage. The initial presentation was fixable by picking up the mouse and then bringing it back down to the pad, but after just a few days of doing that the sensor got even worse and now it will not go more than 2 mins without completely messing up and making it impossible to use the mouse due to the cursor moving all over the screen or simply freezing and not registering movement. This is unfortunate because, in general it feels good in the hand. The battery doesnt last a more than a 2-3 days of gaming from what I found, but it can be used while charging so not the best but not the worst battery setup. Unfortunately the good points are rendered useless due to the bad optical sensor that makes the mouse unusable.

My scroll wheel is perfectly functional itself, as why im not that upset, however the scroll wheel lighting only gets activated during charging, if its wireless you dont get it atleast on mine, overall though, great ergonomics, battery life, and looks, i love it but its got that one flaw

I really like this mouse. The software is garbage but the mouse itself works great and its not loud unlike other mouses. I use it to play Neverwinter, Divinity and Baldurs Gate III. The battery life is great. I fully charged it last week and its still going strong without a charge. Update: After a year and few months its still better than most top tier nice! Im actually looking to buy something new from reddragon. Too bad they havent made a new mouse although I have to admit the M801 is literally PERFECT! Its better than then Razers Orochi which is battery operated! Con: Too bad the software is basically none existent since it really sucks!

I must admit, I had low expectations, even when I had my first mouse from redragon m601 previously, which I enjoyed. I was a bit intimidated on the size since I have small hands. However, the size is what made a difference in me liking it so far. Unlike other mice, this one is the widest I have tried so far. Even the height of it did not really bother me as much as I thought, albeit seemed to be better than I expected. The only issue I have is the rgb. However depending on your preference, it may not be a problem at all. The rgb has a humming noise when being in used, although I believe any mouse with rgb has the same issue, I belive this mouse makes it obvious that rgb has a noise. Thankfully there is eco mode, which basically just turns off the rgb. Not only does the sound become reduced, but it also makes the battery life last much longer than expected. Its been weeks of using this thing without charging its still barely hitting 80 percent in battery life. I personally recommend anyone who is interested in having a pinky rest on a mouse and prefers some wide than narrow build as well as someone who doesnt mind turning off the rgb to reduce the mouse humming noise. Overall, this was worth the purchase

Works great
