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

After a few weeks of use I have to say this is a pretty darn good mouse. I have rather large hands and it does feel a bit small to me and wish the mouse sat a little higher but it still fits comfortably. So I figured I would try to share a few things that I couldnt really find in other user reviews or reaffirm what has already be noted about the mouse. Pros: Fully customizable DPI from 50 DPI to 16400 DPI. You can adjust the DPI by 50 and even edit the x y axis DPI.(Not that I would make them different.) You can set the scroll speed for the scroll wheel on the mouse. You can create custom profiles for your different games. All the buttons and I mean all the buttons are customizable. You can set buttons to macros, combination keys, even things like copy and paste to locking your computer. Adjustable weights inside mouse. Strong and durable cord that is fairly long The surface of the mouse feels like it was rubberized. ( wierd at first but I like it ) Software is very intuitive and easy to use. I dont understand why people say its confusing it isnt. You dont need to be a techy to really understand it Lights are fully customizable to any color you want and even the brightness. ( you have a full color wheel to choose from ) You can set the lights to breathe (speed of breathing is customizable) If you dont like the breathing you can turn it off or the lights too for that matter. Rapid Fire button is fully customizable up to 255 clicks and as low as 2 with as little as 1 ms lapse between clicks. (I would not advise doing 255 for you will have to wait 255 ms till you want to do anything else. It would be great for FPS though since you can set it to your clip size and click once and unload your whole clip.) Cons: Depending on the size of your hand it may or may not be the most comforable though the weights help with comfort. If your like me and like wireless the fact that its not may be a con. Scroll wheel is not free spinning. Rapid fire key take some getting used to. ( I am not really used to it but I dont really use it. ) The 12 buttons on the side are easy to identify but if your not used to it it can take some adjusting. Its fine to me though. End of the day I cant think of a better deal since compared to like mouses for this price its a amazing deal. Mouse works perfectly. ** Update ** Had it for a few months now and it has survived my two year old. I dont think I will ever use a different mouse. I love it. ** Update ** 06/16/2016 Its been two years since I bought this mouse and it seems to start showing signs of giving out. To be fair it has been moved around a lot but all in all it was well used and taken care of. It seems the optical sensor is starting to die since the mouse sometimes doesnt like to move. I changed surface areas and still get isssue. Still works just may need to get a new one soon. Still recommend.

I had owned a Razor Naga gaming mouse for two years. I loved the programmable buttons on the side. It made gaming so much easier! However, after about a year and a half, the mouse began to perform oddly. When I would use the left mouse button, it would often double click (even though I only clicked once) and this was becoming a nuisance. I did some research and discovered that many other people were having this same issue; however, I really loved the programmable buttons on the side. I knew I wasnt going to buy another Razor, since there were so many people having issues with them and they are not cheap! So I began searching on amazon for programmable gaming mice and found the redragon. I read the reviews and was a bit concerned about some of the problems people had, but decided to try it out. I am so glad I did, I love it! The mouse is a little unique because it is wider than the Razor Naga. Thankfully I have had no issues with my hands cramping up while using the mouse; however, I naturally rotate computer mice in my hand, to the left (counter clockwise). (Just want to add this bit of information because this is a personal preference, which may be a bit odd to some people!) My fingers fit perfectly as well as comfortably on the mouse and I believe this gives me better access to the programmable buttons too! The options for the mouse are amazing. As mentioned by other reviewers, it takes sometime to understand the programming options that the Redragon mouse offers. But in my opinion it is worth going through the rigamaroo and have a mouse with a lot of customization-able options (lights, speed, sensitivity, etc...). The mouse lighting is a bonus and they have many colors to offer. The summary says there are five customizable options and each option has a preset color. I want to point out that these colors can be changed and the program offers far more than five colors! If I recall correctly there are fifteen but dont quote me on that. In my opinion the mouse is better than the Razor counterpart as far as features (though the buttons on the Razor Naga are easier to use in the beginning). I hope that the Redragon continues to work well and does not suffer from the same flaw as the Naga. If it does, I will be sure to update my review! If you buy this product, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

2020 update: Here to buy a new keyboard/mouse combo. And checking into some other options before I go Redragon again, due to the software. After receiving my last mouse I found that it no longer works with the old app software version labeled Redragonite. The new version labeled Redragon sucks. First off it just doesnt look as polished, and the options feel kind of dumbed down. Also is now only in English, prior app also had either Japanese or Chinese options, not that the multi language mattered to me. Appart from the look, it doesnt work as well and is rather buggy. The mouse will randomly forget its programing, all custom buttons, including the pointer speed settings and revert to a basic mouse. The you open the app to see whats up and your profile is gone also, back to default. Hopefully you backed up the profile with a save file, so you can reload it, otherwise time to start over. The new app is also slower and overall more twitchy. The physical mouse is still great. The added buttons are great for gaming and even day to day productivity ... as long as it doesnt crap out at a crucial moment. Adjusting my rating for now due to the software. Original review: Awesome mouse. Ordering my third mouse now. The software is easy to use with tons of options. The mouse handles and works great. Yes I do actually use most all of the 18 buttons. I pair it with a one hand keypad for my left hand for pc gaming. Also use the mouse buttons for everyday webpage tasks and on doublecad for example, definitely increases my productivity. Ordering my third because my first two broke down. My first one took some damage to the mouse case, dont piss off your wife, but still worked great untill the wire wore out at the usb end. Second one is starting to have the same issue at the usb, bend the wire a little and the mouse flickers off and on. It would be great if they made the cord detachable so you could just replace it. The cord is still pretty good quality but I only got a year out of this last one. Also the program saves all your settings and macros. So when you do change mice, as long as its the same model/same buttons, it just uploads the settings to the new mouse with one click. Dont have to go in and reprogram it, which is nice.

I just received this mouse today, and I love it. Before today, I had never used or owned a gaming mouse, although I had wanted one. The mouse came securely packaged and was a bit bigger than I expected. Heres my breakdown of each part of the mouse. (I will update if it suddenly breaks or something unexpected occurs, but for now its stellar.) The size/shape: The mouse is fairly large compared to standard sized mice, but it fits very well in my hand. My hand is approximately 6.5 inches from the base of the Palm to the tip of the middle finger, and about 3.25 inches across, if that helps anyone get a proper image of approximately how large this mouse is. There is a ring finger rest, which I found extremely comfortable for my ring finger. And my pinky didnt feel cramped or uncomfortable at all after about 2.5 hours of playing. The only thing that could potentially improve the shape is a longer back to support the palm and protect the thumb nerves a little more. I rarely play for over 3 hours at a time, however, so if you are more of a casual gamer, I dont think thered be any problems at all. The buttons: The buttons are wonderful. Even though this was my very first time using a gaming mouse, I was able to raid in World of Warcraft as a healer and only had to glance at the mouse a couple of times. The buttons click easily, with enough resistance that an accidental click is unlikely, but dont have so much resistance that they move the mouse when pressed. The right and left mouse buttons are far more sensitive than a regular mouse, but are incredibly easy to get used to. Each button is programmable as well, although I havent programmed any yet. All 12 side buttons are easy to reach, and are lit. The software: The mouse comes with a CD that installs the software. Once opened, you can program the buttons, adjust the DPI, and change what color the logo and side buttons glow. ⚠️READ THIS⚠️ The mouse will be set at 16400 DPI the first time it is plugged in. Unless you are used to such a high DPI, use your laptop touchpad or move the mouse very slowly to navigate through the installation setup. Once you open the redragon window, its quite self-intuitive and easy to navigate. The weight: I know nothing about mouse weight, but you can adjust the weight of this mouse. Thats all I know. The mouse will heat up under your hand if you play for a long time, but your hand wont stick to it. Final verdict: BUY THIS. Its seriously wonderful.

I was a huge fan of Razer mice, since winning one in a tournament 20 years ago. A couple years ago, I needed a new gaming mouse after my toddler yanked my Naga off the table, breaking one of the buttons off when it hit the floor at a weird angle. I looked on Amazon and saw this VERY highly reviewed mouse that had people claiming they preferred it to the Naga (BLASPHEMY!)...so naturally I was curious, and at $36 (at the time), I figured it was worth trying. I was completely floored by what I received for the price. The quality was every bit as high, IF NOT BETTER, than the Naga. After an initial adjustment period, I found that I was very happy with my purchase. Forward a year and a half, and I got a new Naga as a gift...but found I much preferred the feel of the Perdition. Being a creature of habit, I pushed myself to use the Naga, convinced Id just gotten accustomed to a different shape. I let a nephew use my old Perdition and he loved it, so I let him keep it (with more than a pang of regret). Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, and the buttons on my new Naga started missing clicks for some reason. I went right back to Amazon and was super happy to find the same mouse at an even lower price. Its super easy to set up, and the biggest hurdle was the feel of the thumb pads angled keys. Once I got used to that I found I preferred it. The textured finish practically sticks to your hand when you need to lift it off the pad, the shape doesnt feel as cramped as the Naga does, and the feel of the entire mouse, from the braided cord, to the buttons, to the mousewheel, just screams QUALITY. The adjustable weights in the bottom of the mouse even come with their own little storage container, in case you prefer a lighter mouse, and they even throw in an extra set of pads for the bottom in case you need them. Speaking of which, the new packaging is awesome since Im using it for a gaming laptop - Its decent quality, its compact, and Ill be using that to keep my favorite mouse nice and safe in transit. Top notch gaming peripheral here, hands down. Take it from the old guy.

I was up in the air on getting this mouse back I 2014, but after almost 10 years of owning this mouse, I’d say money well spent. I play a lot of MMOs and the extra buttons definitely come in handy. I recently bought another Red Dragon mouse as the one I bought in 2014 is finally showing issues. Only con I would say is the size of the mouse and some of the side buttons can be tricky to hit but you get use to it and find a nice hand position. Overall this is a great mouse and responsive mouse too. Haven’t tried the wireless one yet.

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.

As being a Razer Naga owner, I needed to purchase a new mouse due to the double clicking issue that it was having. The Nagas always seem to have the same trouble. I was looking at the new Naga, but I still was not sure if I should buy it. Then, I discovered this Redragon Perdition gaming mouse. I read some reviews and did some research on it, and bought it. Simply put, WOW! For starters, it fits my hand quite a bit better. I should probably add if you have smaller hands, the Naga would be a better option as the Redragon sits a little bit higher and a little bit wider. For me anyways, I have no hand fatigue whatsoever. Removable weights, genius! All you have to do is remove the bottom access panel underneath it and customize how much weight you want. It also came with a little weight storage case, so you wont lose them (unless you lose the case xD). Indented side-buttons, what does that mean? The first two rows are indented towards each other, and the last two rows are the same as well. So, you will know exactly where your thumb is on the grid. It felt a bit different at first compared to the Naga, but I was able to learn where the buttons are on the first day of usage. DPI setting buttons (up and down), is stationed right behind the scroll wheel. Each DPI setting changes the color of the scroll wheel so you have feedback on whether it did change or not. Software - for the most part, fairly straight-forward. Set DPI settings, program side buttons, change colors (a lot of colors with a breathing mode), create profiles, etc. I would recommend this to anyone over a Naga. One, it is a hell of a lot cheaper (was originally $100, bought mine for $46, now its $37); Two, it feels (so far) comfortable and durable; Three; it has all the goodies you need to do what you want with it. Excellent product! I am optimistic I will get more than two years out of it instead of the Naga. I have no bad feelings toward Razer as they do make some awesome products. Until they fix the Naga clicking issue, the Perdition will do just fine for years to come. ~UPDATE~ 11/22/2014 - 6 months later, works just like on day one.

By far this has been the greatest peripheral purchase I have made. To start things off I purchased this originally in February of 2014 so I have had this for over 5 years at this point and I am finally just starting to have problems now after heavy daily use since I purchased it. At the time of purchase it was around $47 dollars and I would spend double that on this mouse. Now at $30 dollars this is an absolute no brainer. Durability: 10/10 I definitely beat this mouse up, after daily use for 5 years it’s held up very strong, the body of the mouse is very sturdy, one time I carelessly pulled it out of my backpack forcefully and the left click caught on to something and snapped the plastic right off. This was completely my fault though. To my surprise I was able to superglue it exactly in to place and you can’t even tell it ever broke and the left click has been working exactly as it had been. The Teflon pads are now worn down and scratched, but I also hadn’t used a mousepad for 4/5 of those years and that probably caused a considerable amount of wear, regardless that kind of wear can be expected after 5 years of heavy use. The braided cable has held up extremely well also. It comes with weights and you can customize how heavy you want the mouse, and a nice little case to store the weights you don’t use. The macro buttons are the reason I purchased this mouse. I never use the burst fire button for anything because I feel it’s a little out of reach for normal use, I think at one point I had it set as the microphone mute/unmute. The 12 number keys on the side are a joy. They are perfectly angled so that you know exactly which button you aren’t pressing and it didn’t take long to get used to it. Comparatively I purchased a used Razer naga epic to have as a backup, and I tried it out for a bit and I just couldn’t use it, the buttons were bigger, but completely flat and I never knew which buttons I was pressing and they were harder to reach all of them. Having the macro buttons increased productivity by a huge margin. For keys 1-4 I use those for gaming, 1,2,3 are just set to the numbers to say switch weapons in a game. I have 4 set to use my microphone so I don’t need to move any of my fingers on the keyboard that affects my movement. For 5 I have it set to ctrl, which I mainly use for single hand zooming by holding 5 and then using the scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Sometimes I use it for other shortcuts but I’m generally more used to pressing the key combinations on the keyboard anyway. 6 has been probably the single most useful key for me as I set it to “show desktop” which gives me an easy way to instantly minimize everything and clear clutter up. This is especially helpful when in games and you need to see your desktop. And I find it way more useful than alt tabbing. The remainder of the 6 keys I have set to strictly media, being volume up and down, mute, then play/pause, previous, next track and this gives me total control of my music and sound with one hand. The possibilities are endless with the macros and I found this to be the best for my use case. The software itself is slightly cumbersome and wonky, but it still works, and once you set it once, it gets stored on the mouse itself so you can move it from computer to computer and all of the settings will stay the same, which is also a huge plus. The software is still extremely powerful though and there is a lot you can do. Rgb is always a plus and definitely wasn’t as common in 2014 when I purchased this mouse. For my hands the mouse is extremely comfortable. Although I haven’t compared to too many different mouses, I’ve always found this one to feel the most natural. The mouse input has always been extremely snappy, and I feel like other mice don’t have that extra oomph of responsiveness. So just now after over 5 years of owning it, I am having some usb connectivity issues. Sometimes the mouse will randomly shut off and reconnect. Even then it does not happen extremely often but it is still probably a sign that it is close to the end of its life. However my expectations have been exceeded, and it’s great knowing that it’s even cheaper than when I first bought it, and definitely plan on replacing it with this mouse again. Even before I started having problems I have been wanting to purchase a second one of these just so I wasn’t moving it around all the time because it’s the only mouse I’ve wanted to use over the past 5 years. Also less time transporting it would probably mean less wear and tear on it. This mouse has definitely taken a beating while transporting it. Plenty of times it has been dropped on hard floors and it has survived this long.

Having been a Razer consumer for more than a decade, I started to notice the quality of their products no longer being what they were once known for. After having had to put scotch tape on cheaply made Teflon feet that came off just a couple months after I bought a new Razer mouse, I had had enough and decided to take my money somewhere else. I figured if I was going to invest in a different brand, the least I could do was do some research about what I wanted in a mouse. I would learn about the difference between optical and laser sensors, mouse pads; and different types of switches and mouse grip preferences. For several months, I also visited many stores to test drive programmable gaming mice – and even bought the Logitech G502, but ended up taking it back for a refund after only 2 days of use. Finding that one perfect mouse that would fit comfortably in my small hand and palm gripping style eluded me. I knew what I wanted… as I could see it in my mind’s eye. I wanted something like small, similar to the Razer Naga and not be as expensive. I also wanted that had a ring-finger rest that I came to appreciate from testing out other mice. It also needed to have several programmable buttons that supported macros, and be very durable. While searching the internet late one night, I found what I was looking for. The Redragon M901 Perdition. Up until that moment, I had never heard of Redragon. Since people tend to criticize Chinese knockoffs, I checked out the company’s profile and liked what I saw. I also researched every review from anyone who had shared their experience with this mouse, and was rather surprised that guys with large hands raved about it as much as gals with very small hands. It was that moment I took a leap of faith and bought the mouse without having any idea if it would fit my hand or let alone – be functional. Between work, school and play, this mouse has gone through moderate to extremely heavy use since 2016 and is still going strong! What I like about the M901 Perdition ------------------------------------------------- * Glides smoothly across my SteelSeries QcK gaming mouse pad. (I use all the weights in it.) * Teflon feet pads show very little wear. * Software is user friendly and setting profiles can be saved locally, and easily moved from one machine to another. * Supports advanced macros. * Rapid fire button. * Easy to find and reach the slanted 1-12 buttons. DPI buttons are also easy to reach. * Braided USB cable. * Gold plated USB connector. * Custom backlight color settings, with brightness, breathing and static options. * Excellent for people with small hands. * Very durable. What I don’t like about the M901 Perdition --------------------------------------------------------- * The plastic, grainy texture intended for easy gripping. (It actually made my palm sweat when I first got it, but prolonged use made most of that grainy feel wear off.) * Right and left plastic buttons look and feel thin – like they’re prone to breaking if you are hard on clicking them. * Scroll wheel backlight indicates which DPI setting you’re on and backlight color cannot be changed. * The plastic overall looks and feels cheap. (This is something I blame my OCD on and not the build quality.) Despite its flaws, I am happy to say that the M901 Perdition is a purchase I do not regret making. Having bought other Redragon products since then, it excites me to see the company actually making it into top ten Best lists of reputable critics like PC Gamer and such. Redragon packs just as many features into their products (but not their price tag) as their high-end competitors, and they keep outdoing themselves each and every time. I hope that their new products are as durable and last as long as this mouse!
