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

I have owned this mouse for about two years now. I bought it roughly when I built my computer, and since Im a broke college kid on a budget, I wanted a Cool Gaming Mouse(TM) without breaking the bank. I found this lil thing here and two years later, it works like I just took it out of the box. Keep in mind, this thing has been through some stuff; Ive taken it to friends houses, to and from classes, back and forth from home and my apartment, its been crammed into more backpacks and lockers than a nerd in an 80s movie, and had its fair share of soda or crumbs spilled on it. It keeps trucking through all of this nonsense and I like the protected cord in particular, as its quite long and the nylon(?) coating protects it from my new kitten. Of course, like any mouse, it can get weirdly covered with gunk but thats easy to solve by just running a toothpick through the accumulation of whatever it is. If you get extended use out of it like I have, Im just starting to notice the places where the oil in my skin have worn down the outside of the mouse (i.e. where you click the mouse button and my most used buttons on the side). I play MMOs and some shooters usually everyday for at least a couple of hours, so keep that in mind. The only reason it doesnt have five stars is because I wish it had more lighting options. Like with Razer mice, you have the option to totally customize your stuff and have every color of the rainbow cycle through the mouse in a psychedelic fashion. This doesnt have that, but I kinda assumed as much when I bought it, so I wasnt too let down. You can still choose every color of the rainbow, but cant make it cycle through like an acid trip. That being said, this is a really sturdy mouse that has been through thick and thin with me and I have never actually had a single problem with it. Very solid 9/10 mouse with the only drawback being no lighting effect other than the breathing effect. Dunno why it took me so long to review this thing; if it lets me edit my review later, I can add pics to back up my statements.

Budget mouse destined for Greatness I have used literally hundreds of computer mice in my career and personal life. I’ve used mice made for everything from ergonomics to $150+ USD gaming mice. Along the way I like to think I picked up some idea of what a good mouse should have and should be. The Red Dragon Perdition has almost all of these aspects. I decided on the Perdition after cruising Amazon when my faithful G500 had a terrible accident in a move, took a tear in the cable, and lost the ability to middle click. I tried to make it work for a number of days, but it was just failing miserably. Sometimes the left click would middle click, closing important tabs in Chrome, and other times the left click would just hold down until I jiggled the cable the right way. It was not a fun time. Let’s start on the only real bad note about this mouse: when it came in and I first pulled it out of the package I noticed that it was LIGHT, and that was with all of the removable weights it came with. I like a heavy mouse, I had every 3.5 gram weight my G500 had in it, and this is very light. I can not begin to image what it would be like without the weights. The mouse has multiple modes to it, each can be separately programmed (Windows users only, but I have confirmed that the mouse will work on Mac and Linux with the proper keypresses on the on-board mouse profiles). There are 5, each designated by a color on the mouse that can be switched using the profile button on the bottom of the mouse. There are also, in each mode, 5 different (and customizable) DPI settings. These can be told by the color of the scroll wheel, and adjusted by the buttons immediately under the same. The 12 thumb-buttons are each mappable and fairly easy to access. I have heard, and read, others having problems with having to move their hand to get to buttons 7-12, but I do not have this problem. There is a slight shift, but I would hardly call it completely adjusting hand placement. It also helps that the rows buttons are slanted facing each other so it is very easy to determine where your thumb is at any given point. All told, especially given that you can pick this baby up on Amazon for less than 50 USD (I got mine for 35), I would say this is among the best gaming mice I have ever used. What it lacks in cross-platform functionality and heft, it more than makes up for in performance and utility. I strongly suggest picking one of these up and giving it a try. At 35 bucks, what do you really have to lose?

I purchased this mouse to replace my Razer Naga. While I had not heard of the brand, its almost half the price of a new Razer Naga and the reviews were pretty decent about it. I couldnt be more pleased with the mouse. It is easily as good as the Razer Naga is. It is a decent size and I love the overall feel of it for my hand. The extra weight in it is perfect for me, but you can lighten it up if that is your thing. The buttons on the side have taken me a bit to get used to. What I found awkward feeling at first was that the rows are slightly slanted, forming a slight V for buttons 1-6 and 7-12. While that took me some time to get used to, I find it very helpful now. You do need to move your thumb back to comfortably hit the 7-12 buttons accurately. But since both sets of rows are in a V formation, you easily know where each button is based on if you are in the front V row or back. The buttons themselves are also fairly large and easy to press individually for an average size hand. If you have monster sized hands or thick fingers then this most likely will not solve any button mashing problems. The mouse comes with a nice braided cord which will last a very long time indeed. It is quite long, at least 5 feet or so. This will give you plenty of cord to maneuver it around however you need to set up your desk. It can almost be too long depending on your set up. It comes with software allowing you to customize up to 5 or 6 profiles (dont remember which offhand and too lazy to go look). This is great if you play several different games and want to set up different customizations for them. You can also give the mouse the color scheme you want out of several million colors and you can adjust the brightness levels as well. All the buttons are fully customizable with the included software. This is an easy mouse to recommend, especially considering the price. Ive only had it a couple weeks at this point and I can say that this is very high quality. I have no doubt this will last me several years, but even if it only last 1 or 2 it is well worth the price.

Ive had the Redragon Perdition for a couple of weeks so I thought it was time to write something since it appears to be a new offering on the market. = CONS = * As others have mentioned, the back column of buttons (7, 8, 9) is awkward to reach. * There is no left or right tilt function to the scroll wheel. That doesnt bother me, but Scroll Up and Scroll Down arent programmable, and I wish they were. (I use Combat Mod 1.1 to rebind them in Guild Wars 2.) * You also cant program the mouse to do an infinite loop, like hold down right-click until you tell it to stop. * The red index finger button is mainly why I took a chance on the Perdition and not the Logitech G600, but unfortunately, it doesnt function like the G600s G-shift button. Its essentially a second left-click, thats it. EDIT: PLEASE READ COMMENTS BELOW. * It would be nice if the center row of buttons (2, 5, 8, 11) were slightly higher than the other rows or had raised dots on them for a little extra help in telling where my thumb is located. * The side buttons feel mushy and are quiet, much like the Logitech G600. The Razer Nagas buttons are wonderfully clicky, but I value the canted button style of the G600 and Redragon Perdition more. * The scroll wheel light is assigned according to DPI sensitivity rather than profile like the rest of the lights on the mouse, so you may end up with mismatching lights. * When I tried to download the driver software from Redragons site (because my CD/DVD drive is broken), Google Chrome warned me it was malware. I used Firefox to download it, and ran scans via MS Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, and Spybot Search and Destroy. The scans all came back clean, so I installed it. = PROS = * The mouse has a good, solid build and feel; the textured body is comfortable to grip for my small female hands. It even has a sturdy braided cord. Fit and finish are excellent. * Pretty LED lights. They are quite pretty, and I like their breathing effect on the dragon logo and side keys. It is visually a very nice mouse. * Index finger button. Even if it doesnt function like Logitechs G-shiift button, its in a better location in my opinion. (And maybe Redragon will extend the functionality of their software one day. One can hope.) * Aside from the awkward location of the side buttons back column, everything is easy to reach. The top buttons have a decently defined clicky feel. * You can set polling rates to 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz. * You can have up to five profiles. * DPI settings available are: 1000 (orange scroll wheel light), 2000 (green), 4000 (blue), 8200 (lavender), and 16400 (red). * Tuning weights are packed inside the mouse when you receive it. I leave all of them in the mouse, since I dont lift the mouse to adjust the pointer often. Weights give the mouse a solid feel. * The Redragon Perditions software interface is clean and simple to use. It only took me a few minutes to get rolling. Impressive, as I was a tad apprehensive about what Id face from a new brand. = OVERALL = The Logitech G600 is far more programmable, and the Razer Naga has clickier buttons, but the Redragon Perdition is a solid contender and stands up well against both of them. Id recommend anyone with small-medium sized hands who can live with five profiles and 16 programmable buttons (since left and right click are so basic, reprogramming them may not ever be an option) take a look at this mouse. --- UPDATE AUGUST 30, 2014: Ive gotten used to playing Guild Wars 2 with this mouse and am still happy with its build and performance. An MMO mouse really makes click-happy professions like elementalist and ranger so much easier to play.

I want to start off by saying that I love Redragon products and have been using their mice for over a decade now and recently began using their other products this year (2021). I recently (back in October) purchased the Legend Chroma (the one with the aluminum bottom plate and 16 side buttons) and I absolutely loved it, except for one thing which was unable to be changed. That would be the bottom button on the top of the mouse that is a DPI switching button. Because there are 4 buttons in that row (vertical), they extend pretty far down the top of the mouse. I have a hybrid mouse grip (claw + fingertip) and this mouse, while I could grip it perfectly between my fingertips, the webbing between my forefinger and middle finger would sometimes hit just over the top of that DPI/mode switch button, and in the middle of a competitive game, my DPI would suddenly switch and I could suddenly not control my actions and we would lose the game. So, unfortunately, though I love that mouse, I had to break down and order a different mouse with less buttons. *** On the 29th of November, I ordered the Perdition3 M901-2. I like the style and the fact that the buttons didnt go so far down, and I just received it today. I have a couple of immediate gripes but the first one (which is why Im bothering to write this) is: The overall textured surface of the mouse does NOT suit my grip style at ALL. In a game (I play Overwatch mostly, some New World), I cannot hold my mouse at all. This is a massive flaw (for me, some people might like this). Sadly, I didnt see anything in the description about it having this kind of texture on the mouse, and it isnt visible in any of the product pictures. This is really making me hate this mouse, which is sad because I really like how my hand fits on the mouse, I like the top button layout, and I have already tried it out and my hand no longer accidentally pushes me into another random dpi mode anymore, which is awesome. But I cannot grip my mouse anymore ..... which is bad. really bad. That --^ is the first and foremost reason why I am bothering to write up this long review. It makes the mouse unusable for me. :( The second thing, which is very frustrating, is that right out of the box, the left button does a double click, instead of a single click. I checked in the customization settings to see if for some reason the left button was bound to a double click, and it was just bound to *left click* so it must be a manufacturing error. While this is unmistakably annoying (I had to spend 3 hours to rebind my keys in game because every time I clicked to activate the rebind menu, bc i was double clicking on accident, it bound my left click instead and removed left click from what it was bound to). Lastly, compared to the Legend Chroma, this mouse is significantly lighter (even with all the weights installed). The cord is honestly heavier than the mouse, and I found myself pushing against the weight of the cord to make movements across my gaming mat. This combined with the fact that I just cannot get a solid grip on my mouse is why I cannot recommend THIS mouse to anyone who has a claw, fingertip, or claw + fingertip hybrid mouse grip and games. ***

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.

As someone who generally sticks to what they know, I was a little hesitant to buy a gaming mouse from a brand I had never heard of before seeing as I used the Logitech MX 500 series mice exclusively for a decade. At the time of this purchase I was playing a significant amount of World of Warcraft: Vanilla on a private server so I wanted something geared towards MMO game-play. I figured the buttons would take getting used to, and there was no way Id ever feel comfortable navigating all of them, but I liked the idea and gave it shot. The construction seems well done. Its not flimsy or loose and the plastic is hard. All of the buttons have a nice response. The placement of all of the buttons, sans some of the thumb keypad, are comfortable and not a problem during repeated use. The mouse wheel flows nicely and there arent many accidental middle button clicks when using it heavily. The rubber grip helps keep the wheel moving evenly as well. Ergonomically the mouse feels nice in your hand overall. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because of the thumb keypad gimmick. While it is a nice idea, even someone like me with small hands and fingers cannot comfortably navigate all of them, especially on the fly during action in a fast paced game like an MMO. Many of them are easily reached and quickly pressed, which is acceptable, but I ended up not assigning some of the middle, and back-middle buttons at all, or to things I rarely had to use. If I were to continuously reach for some of the more oddly placed buttons, my thumb would assuredly get sore over time. I could set my hand back further on the mouse to have better control over navigating them, but then the mouse felt more awkward in my hand. The software was pretty straight forward and much like other gaming mouse software. Not much to add here. The cord is nicely cased and the glowing LED is a cool novelty. As a whole this is a solid addition to the world of gaming mice and I am happy with my purchase over some of the more well known brands and models.

EDIT: Ive had this mouse for months and the workmanship is still holding up well. This was originally a 5-star review, but I am docking one star because Ive noticed over the course of a few months that this mouse has too large of a gap between the left and right buttons for long-term comfort. I have noticed pain developing down my middle finger (right click) from having it reach so far from my index finger. The Naga does not have this issue (nor does the competing Logitech G600) because the buttons are closer to one another. I will have to replace this because of the pain it is causing, which is unfortunate because I love everything else about this mouse. Original Review: For the price, this was a great purchase. The LEDs arent the greatest (the scroll wheel isnt always the same color as the other LEDs), but the rest of the package is top-notch for the price. I had an original Razer Naga that lasted me a solid couple years, but after a few months Id have to unplug and replug it in each boot-up. The palm rest LED went out in 6 months, the number LEDs went out just over a year, and at about 22 months in it started registering clicks as double-clicks. Going to dissect it at some point to try to tune it up, but for now I bought the Perdition for cheap(ish) replacement. Transitioning from the Naga to the Perdition was nearly seamless. The Perdition has an OK weight to it--beyond fine for its price range. Moves smoothly, buttons work well and dont feel too cheap, and the lights are cool and attention-grabbing with guests. I recommend this for those replacing dying Nagas or for those who want to try the 12-key button pad without spending too much to experiment (it is AWESOME!!! Used it in WoW to tighten up rotations, use it in LoL and Diablo for quick execution of abilities and CS:GO for quick weapon slot changes).

I bought the Perdition in January of 2016, and now that its been a little over two months that Ive had to play with the mouse I decided to finally sit down and write a review for it. So I first bought the Perdition after my 2014 Razer Naga died after only one year of use. I was a bit hesitant to buy this mouse because I never had heard of the Redragon brand before, but after my Razer died within a year I was looking for alternatives and at half the price of a Razer I decided to give this mouse a shot. The main differences I noticed between the Perdition and the Naga were that the Perdition is actually a bit bigger than my Naga was, but it wasnt uncomfortable fitting in my hand and Id consider my hands average size. The Perdition also had a textured surface which made for easier gripping compared to the smoother Naga. The mouse even has a nice, long, braided usb cable that appears to be much thicker than my Naga and I havent had any issue with the cabling curling like my Naga tended to do. One of the bigger differences between the two mice though, is that the Perditions side keys are angled differently by row compared to the Nagas which are all the same. The angled keys make it easier to know which row your thumb is on without looking, so its a bit easier to train your hand if youve never used a mouse like this before. I also noticed that the Perditions side keys take a little bit more pressure for a response and have a bit less of a sharp, clicky feel to them compared to the Naga, but after familiarizing myself with this it didnt take me very long to adjust and now I dont even notice it. The mouse came with the ability to weight tune it – but I found that I didnt need it – and a software installation mini disc. It isnt necessary to install the software to use the side keys, but if youd like to setup things for macros, adjusting mouse speed, change the LED light settings, etc., then you need to install the software. Fortunately, the software is relatively pain-free to install and easy to setup things such as changing the colors of the mouse lights, the pointer speed, etc. Theres also five available profiles that you can save your settings for which is nice if you have several different games you play and each calls for a different set of macros. Ive installed the Perdition software on PCs running both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and have had no issue with it whatsoever, and so far Im really enjoying it. I bought the Perdition along with the Redragon Archelon gaming mouse pad, and they work great together, although Im sure the Perdition would be just fine with any mouse pad that you have. The real test Im waiting for when it comes to this mouse is to see if it can outlive my 2014 Naga which lasted only a year with regular use. So after I hit a years use Ill be looking to come back and update this review to reflect my findings. Overall, from what Ive experienced so far the Perdition is a great alternative to the Razer Naga series of mice and at half the price it cant be beat. Ive also read a few other reviews about people having parts breaking on the Perdition, but I havent had any problem with things like that, although I will keep this review updated either way. ---Update 10/07/17--- Its been over a year since Ive had the Perdition and Im happy to update that unlike my Razer 2014 Naga, its still alive and kicking. The mouse works relatively well and Ive only had one issue come up with it which is a minor annoyance, but Id love to see the manufacturer fix it nonetheless since I know they can already make a good mouse. The issue Ive had with it is that the 6 and 7 side keys seem to stick, as in when you press the 6 it will also act as if the 7 was pressed too. This can get a bit annoying while gaming, but Ive set my game buttons so that the 6 & 7 button use the same ability so I hardly notice it anymore. At first it was annoying and I contacted the manufacturer that told me to uninstall the Perdition software and to reinstall it, which fixed the problem for a while, but eventually the issue popped up again so I found the aforementioned work around. Still, Im rather happy with my purchase and Id definitely be willing to purchase more peripherals from Redragon.

I loved the packaging. It comes in a hard plastic case. Could use the case for all sorts of stuff (DICE BOX!). As for the mouse, its slightly smaller than what I was expecting. I have large hands, and I bought a mouse from a different company that is bigger and fits my hand perfectly, but obviously doesnt have the 12 extra buttons. I use that mouse for work (and was bringing it home for use on my gaming PC that this mouse has now taken over for). I do like that it lights up (red is a nice color, not too bright at night; there are more options, including software changes from the default colors). As for use, it does its job, but I wish it was programmed and built differently. I was expecting the extra buttons to count as Mouse Button X, much like other 5-8 button mice (including the one I use for work). Instead, you have to map the buttons and the system uses that. I dont like that i cant have it function differently with each program I use, which if the buttons were truly Mouse 4-15, would do like the other 5-8 button mice. Basically on those mice, you can set the side buttons as back and forward for browsers, and in other programs like Discord, could be used as Push to Talk. (Though I will say, having the Push to Talk on the same button as Back in a browser does make talking to friends in Discord and then looking up information tricky, but I dealt with it.) Here though, that doesnt happen. It took me a while to figure it out (no instructions really in the case). I got this for an online MMORPG, and after some digging, found that yeah theyre just mapped keys and not true keys (ala Mouse Key X). So had to map in the mouse software then map in my game for it work the way I need it. Now this isnt to say similar, more expensive versions of this mouse by other companies dont suffer the same issues; my research said its a similar situation with those mice. I would say this: its a great mouse, once you get used to using it. So far, Ive had fun with it, though just getting my muscle memory to kick in for it will take a bit. Definitely buy this mouse, if youre looking for an in-expensive yet awesome mouse for gaming (especially MMORPGs with lots of buttons to push).
