Redragon M901 Gaming Mouse RGB Backlit MMO 18 Macro Programmable Buttons with Weight Tuning Set, 12400 DPI for Windows PC Computer (Wired, White)

Ive had this mouse for 3 years and for 2 out of those 3 years it worked generally well for my needs. But just after the warranty period I started noticing some issues with both left click AND right click. First off was the right click, I was having troubling registering mouse clicks even with sufficient force. Seeing as I was already past warranty I decided to open it up and take a look, it seems the plastic contact underneath the button itself was worn off (low build quality) and it was probably a milimeter or so short of making full contact with the actual switch. That was easy enough to fix with a couple layers of clear plastic tape and its worked fine since. Second was the left click which had a weird mixture of non click registering and even the infamous double click issue. The tape fix worked for a bit, but after a lot of trial and error and removing the teflon tape covering the screws, I noticed a new issue. The shape of the left mouse button was warped slightly, the right side of the button was bent slightly upwards which may explain why sometimes the clicks dont register as like with the right mouse button it was too elevated and it had difficulty reaching the switch when clicking down. Lastly the teflon tape itself, this is mainly my fault since I had to do several attempts of getting enough layers of tape on top of the omron switches meaning I had to take off the tape, remove the screws and open up the mouse. It was a hassle and now the tape despite being cleaned off with rubbing alcohol has almost no adhesive left on it. Im at a point where this mouse is more troublesome than its worth and will probably be searching for another MMO mouse in the same price range, theres another popular one whos brand name I wont say but Ill probably get that one as it costs about the same. Its a shame it started showing its poor build quality a few months after its warranty expired though. You get what you pay for. On a side note, it must be a pain in the rear to get proper support off this company, they must have like 4 or 5 different emails and websites if you need to address them with trying to get a replacement in warranty and the like.

TL:DR: Coming from a Razer Naga Epic, I am quite happy with this mouse. The Razer Naga Chroma is, at time of review, about 6 times the price of this mouse, and the only features I noticed that the Redragon M901 lacked were wireless, grip choices, and toggle macros. The Redragon M901 is excellent for its price. All of my comparisons will be with the Razer Naga Epic, which I got several years ago, and tended to last me 2-4 years (I had two in a row). I have not used any of the other 12 side button mice on the market. My M901 has been in use for a few months now. I mainly use it to play games (MMOs, Mobas, RTS; no FPS games). Pros: -Feels like a high quality material. Razer Nagas tend to have a sleek plastic material, which is sturdy enough, but a bit slippery for me. This mouse has more of a grip to it. -Macros are functional, as are the additional buttons. The layout is easier to navigate than the Razer Naga, due to the elevation of the individual buttons. -In the span of several months, using the mouse for several hours a day, I havent noticed any defects while either clicking or scrolling -The DPI settings on this mouse are sufficient, although the Razer Naga has more granularity with DPI settings. I am not terribly sensitive to all of the specifics of DPI, so I cannot weigh in on how useful the Razer Nagas additional DPI settings are in practice. I use 2000DPI, so I didnt need to change settings at all in the transition from Razer Naga to M901. Cons: -The macro features of the mouse are less comprehensive than something like the Razer Naga. The main feature Ive found lacking that I used to use from the Razer Naga is the ability to program toggle-able, looping macros. For example, I have been unable to create a macro for the M901 where you click one side button and the macro presses F every 5 seconds until you hit the side button again. The Redragon does support the ability to continue a macro as long as a button is held down, but this is not always a substitute -The grip style for the mouse is wide. If you are used to the large Razer Naga side grip panel, this will not be a problem. However, if you use the smaller Razer Naga grips, you will need to adjust. It was hard for me to pick up the M901at first without straining my pinky a bit. I dont notice that anymore, but it was my biggest gripe when I first got the mouse. -This mouse is wired. The Razer Naga can go wireless or wired. Things I cannot review or compare: -I never used any weight options between the Naga or this M901. The M901 feels heavy enough for me, so I never attempted to change it. -I keep the RGB at a single color with no effects on both mice. Razer probably has better light shows, but I wouldnt know. -I hated keeping up with Razer synapse updates, so I automatically appreciate the minimalism behind the Redragon Software. However, as a result, I never really played with the Razer synapse profile features enough to weigh them against the Redragon M901 software. -I have heard while shopping for keyboards that Redragon has excellent customer service. I havent had a problem though, so I wouldnt know. Overall, when I bought this, I just wanted a mouse with lots of side buttons and some limited macros. What I got was a very functional mouse with exactly those features. Every feature Ive used thats written in the M901 description thus far has been delivered to my satisfaction, so I rate this 5/5. I do miss my Razer Naga in some ways, but given the choice between spending the extra near $150 dollars on the Naga and buying the M901 at its current price, Id choose the M901 again.

I was looking for a high precision gaming mouse to use with my new PC I just built. I not only game, but I am also an avid multitasker, so I was looking for a mouse with programmable buttons to make my life easier. I have definitely found it in this mouse. The overall feel of the mouse is very sturdy and feels well built. The mouse comes with extra padded feet so if you ever wear them down, you can replace them. Aesthetically, the mouse is gorgeous. The default profiles light colors are nice, but you can even program custom colors, too. There are profile colors and DPI colors, so it might seem confusing. But, the scroll wheel color indicates DPI color while the button and dragon symbol colors indicate which profile it is on. As for the feel of the mouse, I would rate it 8.5/10. The left mouse button and most of the 12 buttons feel great. The right click button is a little too sensitive for my hands. Maybe it is because I have twitchy fingers, but I sometimes find myself accidentally clicking the right click right after I left click. Also, the middle column of buttons are a little harder to press than the left and right columns. By this I mean the 2, 5, 8, and 11 number buttons. The right and left columns have a nice audible and tactile response to them and are very easy to reach with your thumb. I do have trouble sometimes with the middle column: sometimes I press more than one at a time, other times it doesnt register the click. But, I think this may be due more to the positioning of the buttons rather than the build of the keys. The driver software is very self-explanatory and lets you customize almost everything about the mouse. The weights included also impress. I prefer a heavy mouse, so I left all the weights in, but it has 8 of them for you to customize the weight with. It also has a cool carrying case for the weights. Overall, this is an amazing mouse for just shy of $40. For such a new company to the gaming mouse business, Redragon makes a good first impression. Even my complaints are probably due to human issues rather than build issues. Definitely a high quality gaming mouse and the only choice for those who want quality and a good price.

Edit July 4th 2020: I recently ordered another one and I dont think its the same version I received and loved a few years ago. The side buttons feel strangely placed and it just feels awkwardly shaped. I want the old version back! :) Mind you its been a few years since I had the original (black version) so maybe my memory tricking me. I originally wrote a mostly negative review. I want to thank ChallengerUSA for its stellar customer service. The white one I received had strange issues (pointer would start jittering and moving by itself randomly, the pointer wasnt precise at all, etc.) So I sent it back for a full and prompt refund. After receiving my refund ChallengerUSA contacted me offering to send me another mouse completely free of charge just to make up for my trouble. I even requested that they send a black one instead of a white one (I have a monkey that found my white mouse way too attractive) and they gladly did and shipped it in 2 days (arrived on a Sunday). I was not expecting the white and black versions to be physically different. Turns out that the black one has nicely textured matte finish whereas the white one is made of slippery cheap-feeling plastic. The black one is much easier to hold onto due to the texturing plus the material is heavier (a GOOD thing) than that of the white one which felt like a paper airplane even with the weights installed. In fact, it seems slightly bigger including the side buttons. I notice that the side buttons on the black mouse are a bit wider whereas the white mouses side buttons are a bit narrower and taller. Makes a world of difference. Whats true about both versions: The side buttons have the perfect amount of pressure, every button is programmable, software lets you program anything you could want with this mouse. I cant emphasize enough the potential amount of control this software can give you. The cord is one of the best Ive ever seen. My G700s cord was easily damaged being pinched between my desk and slide out tray leading to connection problems. Good thing the expensive G700 is also wireless (wish the Perdition was). On the white mouse the right click button occasionally would catch on my finger resting on the right side of the mouse and pop loose from the mouse; luckily it didnt break off the 3 times I had to press it back in. Apparently, the top left and right click buttons on the black one are more flush with the housing and there is zero chance of this happening with it! :) The construction quality of the black version shines. Edit: Just happened 10 minutes ago. I left the room for about a minute and when I came back my squirrel monkey had BROKEN the left click button completely off (just ripped right through the plastic)! Totally my own fault for not sticking it in the cabinet before leaving the room. They bent over backwards to do something nice for me and I let this happen. I feel so mad at myself right now. If only Redragon had the same level of customer service as ChallengerUSA let alone a complete website (missing info, links that go NOWHERE--very amateurish). I almost bought the Asura K501 gaming keyboard but some reviewers didnt even receive their software CD required to utilize the macro keys. Redragon doesnt even offer software for their keyboards on their website. In fact, they only have one keyboard in their product listing! So far they havent responded to my inquiry about that. So Im hesitating on taking the chance. Luckily they do provide the software for their gaming mice which is stellar.

After my Razer Naga Epic finally had the mouse wheel go - I was in the market for a new mouse. As a frequent MMO / MOBA player (WoW, Dota 2, LoL, Wildstar), I had become used to using my mouse for all of the number keys, with the keyboard dedicated to WASD/QWER and modifier keys. After purchasing the Corsair M95 - and not being a fan of the side button layout - I was torn between the Logitech G600(s), G700, and this mouse. I had read the reviews on this mouse, and saw that it was about $35 at the time. I sort of took a leap of faith on this badboy, having never heard of the company, and its paid off. The number key layout is similar to the G600, but different from the old naga layout - in that the surface is not convex and the buttons are banked in to almost feel like 2x 6 button configurations (1-6, and 7-12). This works perfectly for Dota 2 and LoL as I bind my items to those keys. The second set of 6 is a little harder to hit without trying because of this, but I feel that with usage, I will adapt. The DPI settings seem fine, I do not notice the jumpiness that one of the other reviewers has described. I will never use a DPI setting as high as 16400, and I settle on the 4000 mark. The LED lighting works fine, just like any other mouse. No point in reviewing that. The software is fairly intuitive, for anyone who is used to mouse macro/configuration software. DPI settings for X and Y independently, LED customization, multiple profiles that are hot-swappable if you decide to macro a profile change button. I only stick to one personally, but the potential is nice. I found the weighting perfect with all the weights in, but any mouse that allows the customization is nice. The mouse wheel is smooth, but almost too smooth for my liking - I like a bit more resistance in my scrolling, but its nitpicking at best. The DPI up and down buttons and the second left-click are fine, too. I left the DPI up and down there (to be replaced as needed) and the red left click button is my push to talk for in-games that I dont keep the mic free. The braided cable is of the quality expected of other mice like the Corsair and Razer brands. And finally - the feel. The mouse shape fits in my hands perfectly, but my hands arent really that large. It fits in my palm naturally, just like the other competitors, and I did not have to alter my grip at all from the Naga in order to feel comfortable using it. The way I see it, there are only a few cons: - Texture: The mouse is glossy, so my hand tends to stick to it a bit, unlike the matte-y textures of other mice like the Logitech and Razer. - Construction: It feels like a bit lower quality, especially on the underside - but it has teflon pads, so it moves just fine. It even comes with spare pads from 3M. - I had a little trouble installing the drivers via the CD, and had to reboot my machine a few times before the LEDs would breathe normally and not flash like the mouse was still being installed. Ended up working fine, though. - Warranty: It is only 18 months compared to the competing 2 years. But I can buy 3 of these mice for the cost of my old Naga Epic.

I bought this as a gift for my wife for Christmas because she likes to play World of Warcraft so I had been looking at the Naga and was going to buy it and decided to give this one a shot. After all of the reviews that I read on it I have found that there are a few hiccups however they can usually be fixed rather simply one of them was people were complaining about the macros and you couldnt do certain things in the mouse would lock up depending on the game that youre using it for and or whatever program youre using it for, some of these programs have built within them their own macrosystem, World of Warcraft does have one within it you just have to learn how to program it correctly once you learn how to program it correctly to whatever spell rotation you want to do then its very simple to program that one spell to one of the buttons. If you are using this for Microsoft Excel this works fantastic 4 programming repetitive formulas instead of having to actually look for them you can simply create your formula once as a generic and then modify it as you need to. In addition the response is truly amazing you can set the mouse to be extremely responsive or to be a lot less responsive I have not checked the rapid fire button but Im sure it will work just the same as the rest of it. setting it up is very simple you must first visit their website download this software and drivers and everything is programmed through that unit. I will actually be purchasing one for myself as I really enjoyed how this one performed.

In 2014 I was looking for a good new mouse and stumbled upon this. It seemed almost too good to be true: a <$40 mouse with crazy high DPI and a crazy amount of buttons? Yet early reviews and indications said itd be worth a shot, so I went ahead and got it. Almost two years later, its still doing its job. Theres two main questions that I thought of at the time and now have an answer to them. 1) Are all the buttons necessary? No, not at all. Even when playing a couple MMOs, I struggle to get over 12. Im no expert player but Im above average and certainly competent. What it did teach me though was that 8 buttons is the minimum I now can accept: left/right/middle clicks, back/forward/refresh buttons, enter, alt tab. Once you get used to that, its almost impossible to go back. Others useful but not-as-essential functions may include cut/copy/paste, print, save, and some media controls. Once you get the hang of it 12+ buttons isnt useful for just MMOs, its useful for everyday browsing and multi-tasking. 2) Is 16400 DPI really necessary? Also not at all. Even by todays standards thats still considered freakishly high and Im not so good that I can control that speed in an FPS. But 4000, 8000? Ive managed with that and now use them regularly, for everything. The biggest perk of all: It costs less than $40. Its a jack of all trades that surpasses the standard of doing everything okay and manages to succeed at doing everything things well. The only pieces of improvement I can think of are that it has no left/right scrolling and that middle clicking can be a bit stiff. The latter is easily resolved (use another button) and the former just needs to be gotten used to. It can be partially mitigated a higher DPI level too, depending on your task. The biggest expectation I had after trying to a few months was that itd die on me in under a year. Now Im coming up on two and its still working great. At the price point its at, its a no brainer.

I bought this mouse because it was exactly what I was looking for, and at its current price, it seemed like a steal. When I received this mouse and opened up the box, I wasnt immediately disappointed. It felt sturdy, well made, in my hand. Its black finish felt almost rubberized, and offered excellent grip. The software that came with the mouse was easy to install and easy to use. I had high hopes for this thing. The real problem lied in wait until I actually started using the mouse in an MMO. I am a woman, with probably average sized hands, but compared to a mans, I would consider them small. While properly resting my hand on the mouse, my thumb could not reach the very important top row of buttons 1-3. They were completely out of reach until I shifted my hand strangely to the side so that my thumb was in a higher position. Playing for hours at a time with my hand not placed at its usual, comfortable angle made for a sore wrist at the end of the gaming session. Over time, I probably could have gotten used to it, if that were the only problem I had. The next problem presented itself to me at the most inconvenient times. It was a struggle trying to find the right button to push in the mess of 12 buttons my poor little thumb had to navigate through. Now, I will admit, that maybe this has more to do with me, and less to do with the mouse, being that this mouse was my first 12 side-button mouse. But, I cant help but feel like there wasnt enough distinction between each button. They seemed to almost all blend together, especially the buttons in the middle column 2, 5, 8, and 11. I could not hit those buttons properly if my life depended on it, and being a Healer in this particular MMO, not only did my life depend on it, but everyone elses too! And finally, the last problem I noted was the mouses overall jitteryness. I messed with the settings for extended periods of time trying to make this mouse move smoothly during gameplay, but each time I only ended up making it slightly better than it was before, but still not where I wanted it to be. This mouse would make the camera in my game rather hard to control and its movement was shaky. I tried lowering the DPI, while upping the acceleration, lowering them both, keeping them both at the same level, the whole bit. No matter what I did, cursor and camera movement always felt a bit unstable. The only way I could achieve some normalcy in this department was if I turned both the DPI and acceleration down to an almost sluggish level, then things would finally feel somewhat smooth. I wanted to love this mouse... I really did, and I tried hard to make myself love it. I gave it a solid week to prove to me that it could be what I wanted it to be, but it just didnt make the cut. Its not a terrible mouse, and I could see this working better for someone with bigger hands, or longer thumbs, but unfortunately, I made the decision to return this product and continue my search for something that fits me.

So, the M901 has been my go-to gaming mouse for a long time, now. Probably since 2014-ish? Anyway, what you have here is the updated M901-2, not the M901. The official Redragon driver website does NOT support this mouse. I contacted them. They dont even sell it, and I was informed that they *do not support it.* They told me to contact the seller, instead, for any support or software. Its a real mouse, yes, but you have to take it as it comes. There is no software for it. I have looked everywhere online, risked a sketchy website and still did not find one. Whatever software is pictured with this mouse does not come with the mouse. There is no installation disc, link, or anything. The software is mentioned in the manual just as the software. Again, there are no links to it and it is not named. No, this mouse will NOT work with your Redragon M901 software. Ive tried. The redesign is big and clunky. The thumb guard is in the way. I will be returning this purchase. If you want the M901 (the good one, with software) then I suggest you buy from the Redragon site. Again this is the updated, newer version M901-2 that is being sold here, not the M901. If you want a gaming mouse for smaller adult hands that comes with software and is fully supported by the Redragon website (and their official resellers) then you should avoid this listing for now. Look for the M901. It looks just like this one, but without the thumb guard or the DPI lights on top. It does have DPI buttons in the same place, just not the red bar-lights.

I came from owning a Razer Naga. My Naga mouse started to lose its brains after 5 or 6 months. It would often lag or stop working all together. Sometimes it was the fault of the Synapse program. Sometimes it was the fault of the mouse (turned off Synapse and the mouse would still act weird). I grew tired of it after a month or two. Despite updating the drivers. Uninstalling everything and then updating drivers. Unplugging and replugging the mouse in different USB ports...etc. I did it all. So, I had to find a replacement, but I didnt want to pay the price of a Naga. I came across the Perdition Mouse from a company I never heard of. The mouse looked big. Had the 12 side buttons I wanted. And it was cheap, so I took a chance. Didnt have much to lose. First impressions: 1) The arch is much lower than the Naga, so it doesnt fill your hand as much. 2) Finger support on the right hand side of the mouse takes some time getting used to because at first my ring finger would ache But, I kept at it. I kept using it. Pros: 1) Price 2) The 12 side buttons click and are not mushy 3) Solid scroll wheel 4) Great mouse texture 5) The program used to create mouse profiles seems a bit archaic, but it is simple and straight forward to use. 6) Profiles save on the mouse itself 7) Handles very well with a good sensor 8) Price 9) It isnt super expensive like the Naga 10) Works with Windows 10 Cons: 1) Color scheme is a bit weird. With the red accents on the mouse, changing the LED color on the mouse doesnt really impress much 2) The color on the scroll wheel is fixed to a DPI setting 3) The cable is a bit heavy For the price, it is honestly the best mouse you can buy. If you have regular sized hands or smaller hands, you will love it instantly. For those with large spider hands, you will have to give it some time, but it will be worth it. Works perfectly for MMORPG, high end PvP gaming.
