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.

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.

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.

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.

First a brief product description, and then my personal feels about it based on usage and experience. Overview: the mouse is solid. The body construction is super hand friendly. The mouse has a 3rd finger groove for your ring finger, good spacing for the right/left click buttons, and a solid scroll wheel. Wheel isnt too sensitive or too tight, for me its just right in terms of scrolling. Mouse lights are pretty legit and can be adjusted to brighter/dimmer so no issues there. The weights in the bottom are everything Id expect and I love that thats an option. Side buttons are pretty resistant in terms of pressing pressure, and there IS a small groove on the #5 key to help you orient your finger.Absolutely 0 issues with the mouse as a thing and I was amazed at the quality for the price. Now... onto my experience. First and foremost none of these are deal breakers. On the contrary I love it regardless of the following: 1. That little red button you see in the top left corner, to the left of the left click? I have no idea how to re-bind it but from what Ive seen it just triggers left click. Its also a little out of the way so its utterly useless to me. Probably just me though. 2. the last row of numbers on the side is pointless. Even in games like Starcraft where they might actually mean something, the amount Id have to move my thumb to get to #9 for example, and the position my hand would have to take to get there makes the action cause more hard than good. Having said that 1-6 is reached just fine and Im perfectly happy using just those. 3. because of the way you hit the side buttons you cant really hold the mouse using your thumb. This is probably specific to me since I havent used other mice with side buttons, but coming from the experience of clamping the mouse between the thumb and the rest of the hand I had to adjust a bit to avoid hitting the buttons accidentally all the time. This is what I imagine the ring finger groove is for and Im slowly getting used to holding the mouse the way it wants to be held (awhhh...). Other random stuff I like: the custom lights are cool. Like... they spent time on that. Good for them. The cord is plenty and well made. The DPI settings are plentiful for whomever needs all that. Im personally always on the same but #options. Thats it! Hope this helps. Cheers.

After a year with this mouse, I can say its preformed the most consistently out of all the gaming mice Ive used. This includes the Razer Naga and its variants, Logitech, and other off-brand mice, wired and wireless. From an ergonomic standpoint the mouse works beautifully, however it takes some getting used to. The mouse feels pretty much perfect in my hands, but my hands are quite small, so people with large hands beware. The ergonomics will likely not be comfortable for you. The mouse has a wonderful texture and feel, not too grippy, not too slippy, perfect for my preference. Now onto the buttons. The left and right click are audible and tactile with the left click feeling just a hair worse than the right; absolutely nothing to write home about though. It feels fantastic. The DPI is easily adjustable using the buttons under the scroll wheel, and they are surprisingly well-placed to prevent accidental presses, which is very nice. The side button on the very left of the mouse has some...interesting uses, but its not useful for me, so I wont consider it a con. It is pretty poorly placed, which is honestly the only flaw with the mouse in my opinion. I have stretch my index finger uncomfortably to press it. Now, the side buttons. This might be a deal breaker for some, and it took some time for me to get used to. The side buttons have more of a membrane feel to them, not a mechanical feel. If you love your clicky tactile feel, you wont like the feel of these side buttons. However, I would still say give it a try. I would definitely not describe it as unpleasant. Quite opposite in fact, its actually very interesting and nice. However, the buttons do not all feel consistent when I press them, but that still does not detract anything from how the mouse preforms, it still feels fantastic. The DPI can range from very slow (6in = one full screen of cursor movement) to blazing fast (1-2in = one full screen of cursor movement). I use the second-to-highest DPI setting, as Im used to having high sensitivity when I game. I admittedly dont need to use the software, so I havent. I dont have any real use for programming macros, and I dislike using that kind of software. However, looking at some of the other reviews it seems like the software isnt too suspicious, so if I wanted or needed macros for something Id at least give it a try. The weights and button to change the lighting is on the underside of the mouse. Honestly, I thought the mouse was too light for my liking, but I enjoyed my Razer Naga for how light it was, so I got used to it pretty fast and love it now. It is still very light with the weights inside the mouse, and theyre also a bit tricky to get out of bottom of the mouse, but turning the holder and give mouse a light tap on my desk makes them all fall out in their holder. The holder itself holds each weight very nicely. It also fits snugly inside mouse, so you dont have to worry about all of them falling out if you re-adjust your mouse position. The Setting Switch on the underside lets you change the color of the logo on the front of the mouse, which looks very nice. You also dont need to use the software to change the lighting, which is a nice plus. The materials of the mouse do feel cheap, but surprisingly its actual construction feels professionally done. There are no unpleasant rattles, sticks, or textures. It seems like a very intelligent and efficient use of cheaper materials, which is impressive to see. The surface material also feels very resistant to wear and grime, so none of the side buttons or left and right clicks have lost there tactile feel. This is truly my favorite feature about the mouse; it feels just and good now as it did out of the box. Final notes: I have absolutely no major complaints (if any complaints for that matter) about this mouse. It just works well, no unresponsiveness, no cheapness, and no headaches. For the price I really just recommend you try it for yourself, I dont think youll regret it.

My Razer Naga finally bit the big one, and I needed a replacement since they no longer make that perfect mouse. This mouse is pretty cool and seemed like it would be similar enough. The color schemes are nice. I set mine to all red and breathing pulse. The buttons just arent the same, though. These work, and I use them a LOT. All of my keybinds are set to the pad on it. Gives 3 x 12 possible buttons when you include shift and ctrl combos. That being said, I hit the wrong button on occasion because the rows feel the same. BUT Ive kept using it for most of a year and it hasnt bothered me enough to get another. There is a lot of customization you can do with their software. Colors, key bindings, speed tweaks, turbo button.. the turbo button can be changed to do quite a few cool macro-related things. The weights make it feel better. It is way too light (to me) without them. The finish on it feels strange after the smooth Naga, but I dont notice it anymore, or I wore it off. It was very grippy. It is a great mouse for the price. It looks great, too. The button curvature and layout could be improved, but its functional and Im comparing it to what I was used to.

I really enjoy this mouse, it has a nice weight, and many buttons that you can reprogram. The fire button works with most but not all games as some filter out rapid inputs such as the one it produces, although you can tweak it or rebind it. The software to bind the buttons is kinda janky and you need to run it as administrator to save the profiles but it does what it needs to do. The buttons have a nice feel, as does the scroll wheel. Fair warning the mouse has a grippy texture that is not apparent in the images but it was a pleasant surprise for me, although others may not like the feel of the grippy texture. The DPI switching is very convenient although the scroll wheel changes color based on the DPI and unfortunately I do not believe you can change the colors on it like you can with the rest of the mouse so the colors sometimes do not match. Also of note they include replacement pads for the bottom of the mouse for if they ever wear off. In the end its a very comfortable and practical mouse, it is large and well suited for average to large hands, and has many buttons, good for gaming, and good for everyday use.

Below is my original review from 2014. I have had the same mouse and its been EIGHT YEARS. After eight years, the only issue it has developed is that the texture has worn off on the ring finger rest. As well as the left click sometimes will double click on its own. Im extremely, I mean extremely, impressed with the fact that it has lasted this long and no real detrimental issues have popped up. And its still the same price as it was when I bought it all that time ago. Way to go Red Dragon! Overview: Never really purchasing a gaming mouse before this one has treated me nice so far. Ive had it for about 7 months and the only problem Ive had with it was one time the drivers glitched and my computer didnt recognize it anymore but that was fix by uninstalling and reinstalling them and a quick restart. Really not a big problem to me at all. I saw the other complaints about the LMB breaking off but I have had no concerns at all about it. The clicking pressure has been the same since day one and there arent any parts that move around on me at all. The only concern someone might have about it is the LMB and RMB getting caught on something, like a shirt or cloth etc, and then snapping. Even traveling with it out of its case there have been no problems. Pros: 1. Great Customization (ranging from the DPI to the color scheme to the weighting of the mouse) 2. High Range of DPI (granted 16k is a little high but I use half that on some of my games) 3. Glides around mouse pad very well. 4. Well placed buttons. 5. Caters more to palm type mouse users but also works for those who are of the claw type. 6. Very few bugs/glitches. 7. Very ergonomic for the hand. 8. Never drops signal. 9. Good quality braided cord. Cons: 1. Due to the material it can be a slight challenge to clean (I like to take care of my electronics) 2. Software is probably the most glitchy (sometimes doesnt save the changes you made but rarely happens more than once in a row) Cleaning: I found the best way to take care of the mouse is to use a q-tip to get rid of the dirt and such that collects on the thumb buttons and i normally use a wet cloth to wipe it, then a dry cloth and then a air duster to get rid of any fibers that were left behind. Gaming: Ive used this mouse for many games. Games such as CG GO, BF4, Garrys Mod, PayDay 2, Minecraft and more. The mouse gives you enough options to where you can use it for many games and reduce how many keys you need to use on your keyboard resulting in more reaction time on your part. It doesnt give you so many options, however, as to where one can get lost. Everyday: Not only have I used it but so has my father who doesnt know anything about technology and is able to use it without problem. I have used this mouse every day for the past two months for at least a hour, up to 5-6 hours and it serves its purpose well. I use it for other things like video editing, photoshop, web surfing and music Djing. It works well for every one of those actions. Best Features: 1. Raised ridges on the 5 and 8 key so you know where your thumb is at and youre not sitting there fumbling around trying to press the right button. 2. Quick DPI changing about the scroll wheel is extremely helpful when you get into a game like BF4 and have to change between the different vehicles and a character. 3. Fire button is handy for games like CS GO when you wanna slowly tapfire at the right speed youre able to do that with the button. 4. Resting ridge for your ring finger allows you to pay more attention to the game rather than if your hand bumps into something and you have to readjust. 5. Different weights for customization (I leave all of them in there, there are 8) Software: 1. Allows 3 different profiles and for each profile you can have 5 different DPI sensitivities. 2. Easy to use and self explanatory. 3. Quick installation. Overview: This mouse is great for the price and Im looking forward to what comes next from this company. I would suggests it for those who dont know too much about mice and for those who want a pretty diverse gaming mouse while not spending $200+. I have had no problems with it breaking or any parts being lose or faulty. At this point if it broke I wouldnt be upset because its served over 2000 hours of use.

edit: so as it turns out the review i left down below was actually an issue on my PCs part and nothing to do with the software itself. ALL the buttons are now customizable after a restart of my PC as well as lighting. Also i no longer need to restart my PC in order for the changes done to take affect after the initial time. Mouse feels great it small enough to easily be able to reach all button and although 10-12 are a little awkward after a few hours it became a lot easier to use. The model number IS buried in the website but the program mentioned for the M901 (even this is listed as M901-2) works well with the mouse got the mouse planning to use it for an MMO but came to find out that even with the software from the website the changes applied do not take place. The model number of the mouse is M901-2 which does not exist on their website so you are left to download the M901 edition that doesnt change the lighting when changes and even if you replace the 5 profiles with new button mapping none of them work and you have to use the fire key, the mouse button for dpi (although it says you can change them), and numbers 11 and 12 on the side as dictated by the software. The mouse has a nice feel to it and apart from these things isnt all that bad but if youre looking for full customization, this is not it.
