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

Purchased this back in 2015. Never used a mice like this so when I first got it, it took about a week or two to get used to. It’s a good fit for small hands. The side buttons were very useful and easy to work with (imo), i found it mostly helpful drop kicking kids in fps games. Talking about from noob to ultra chad lvl. -Honestly ergonomics is decent but my thumb and pinky be dragging against the mousepad sometimes. -The rapid fire button is completely useless to me because of how awkward the position is, I’ve only used rapid fire button for cookie clicker simulator but you could just download auto clickers that click faster than the software. -Do you actually use 16k dpi? My profiles go as follows 400-1000 when using photoshop 2000 normal fps setting with 1.8 sensitivity 3000 yes 4000 mainly for browsing 10000 if your a man of culture iykyk All these settings are subjective to you, You may be a person who likes to play like a turtle Or want to be a cracked out sanic hitting 69420’s off a balcony with 16k dpi totally up to you. -Double clicking/misclicks/scroll wheel I’ve only experienced these issues this year, sometimes when clicking left it tends to not register the clicks. Same with right click when im ads it ends up out of ads or doesnt work when holding it down. Scroll wheel is very sensitive, when your trying to punch someone with M3 click but end up scrolling up or down and get finished in apex. Imagine that, nah couldn’t be me. -overall I mean after having it for this long and for the price its a solid mouse. You get what you pay for type of deal. Honestly wouldnt get anything from red dragon again it was a good budget setup but its time to move on.

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.

I must clarify in advance, this mouse only lasted me about a year and a half. The left mouse button is deteriorating and having trouble confirming clicks, but Id expect this wear to happen sometime after 2 years, not a year and a half. I would rate this mouse 3 and a half stars rather than 4, but it was better than just okay besides this current issue. I used it for hours on end, everyday, and besides the left mouse button having difficulties starting to pop up now, the mouse was very, very easy to use and despite myself having pretty small hands it wasnt hard to utilize. I never had any wrist issues that Id consider coming from this mouse. Some pros: - Very clean, expensive feel on the plastic. It never felt cheap, no matter how much use, and has a very soft texture to it that isnt too rough or too smooth. - Always felt responsive enough from the games I used to play it with. WoW and Overwatch are two big contenders. The mouse played perfectly on them and I never felt like I was having an issue due to the mouse itself. - The lighting effects on the mouse are, for some people, a big bonus. But I played with them for about a week and eventually stopped caring for them. It is definitely useful for playing in the dark, however. - Its incredibly easy to pick up where your thumb is on the number pad. There are two bumps on the 5 and 9 keys which are enough to tell you where you want your thumb to click. Rarely have I made a mistake when I got the muscle memory down. - The design is sleek and pleasant to look at. - Beyond the left click deterioration, the mouse survived MUCH abuse from frustration and anger from someone with depression and anxiety. Very, very sturdy. Cons: - Like I said, the left mouse button is beginning to deteriorate after a year and a half. This might be repairable, but Im no electronics expert and in some cases it might be cheaper just to buy a new mouse entirely rather than send it in for a repair. - While the number pad was easy to pick up, pressing the buttons themselves was a hassle and requires a bit of extra force than I expected. Sometimes this will cause your cursor to move a couple pixels or so due to the force, and while this seems like a nonissue, some games require a lot of precision. If you play a game like that, youd better work out your fingers or get a mouse that doesnt require much effort to be put into the number pad.

Was looking to get a MMO mouse after getting more into GW2, but wasnt really interested in the Naga. Owned a Razer several years ago and its the only mouse that Ive owned to date that actually had its left click fail. The Logitech G600 was also in the running, but this was cheaper and seemed to receive generally positive reviews so I decided to give it a chance. What I like: - Size, my hands arent big and this mouse is probably on the smaller side for MMO mice, which suits my hand well. - Its cheaper than most direct competitors (Naga, G600) - Side panel placement feels good (for me). Again, I dont have particularly large hands, so my thumb sits right on the first row of the panel which is great. - Looks nice, has a texturized surface What I dont like: - The surface while texturized (a plus), is just plastic, but for the price I cant knock on this too much - Scroll wheel, 2 issues: 1. Like a previous reviewer, my scroll wheel rubbed against the plastic and created friction and scratchy noise. I ended up taking a thin piece of sandpaper between the wheel and plastic to sand down the plastic a bit to relieve the friction. 2. The glow of the wheel is set based on your DPI setting, which I would prefer to customize myself. Neutral: - Software is OK, the CD worked and installed easily. Not the snazziest looking software or easiest to use ever, but it gets the job done. Overall I like the mouse, it serves my purposes well and for the price its definitely worth thinking about if youre in the market for a MMO mouse. Again, docked a star for the scroll wheel issue, but its by and large been fixed with a small piece of sandpaper and 5 minutes so no biggie, it doesnt hinder the function of the mouse at all and Im sure over time it wouldve smoothed itself out.

Im gonna go ahead and give it 4 stars, despite me probably not using it in favor of other mice. Its a solid mouse but, comparatively to the LogiG502 and the DeathAdder that I also own, it falls short. My pros and cons are mostly from a comparative perspective. CONS: - The side buttons. Theyre difficult to push without moving the mouse in the process. - The UI for the mouse options was annoying to use for me. Setting the lighting schemes with the DPI setting was annoying to figure out, and clicking and dragging the sliders is a frustrating experience. Once I figured how everything worked, I was able to get it where I want easily, but the sliders are so small, and it seems like the hitbox for the slider was inconsistent, causing it to unclick the slider, making me have to re click the slider. The tracking issues, that Ill mention, were probably part of the problem. It was also really crowded. I much prefer Razer Synapse. Comparatively, Synapse takes the cake in my book (despite peoples hate for it) - The tracking for the mouse was REALLY inconsistent. Im using a Razer Goliath Control mouse pad and, when I first used the mouse, I assumed it was just the texture of the mouse pad screwing with the tracking (Its apparently optimized with Razer products in mind.). When I plugged in the G502 however, I have to assume the M901 is the problem. The M901 has no optimization in their UI to get more accurate tracking, compared to the G502 (which I didnt even need to use to get it to track well on the pad). I play on higher DPI settings, so tracking is pretty much a make or break for me and is the number 1 reason I wont be using the mouse (at least until I see if I have a better experience with a different pad.) - The fire button on the left side of the top is annoying to click in a high pressure situation in game. It curves off so hard to the left, that you have to move your whole hand to click it. I was fine with it, until I picked up the G502. It has TWO buttons in the same location, and it takes no effort to shift your index to hit. This is mostly an opinion, being that if I held the mouse differently itd most likely not be an issue. But holding it in a way that I can hit the button easily was uncomfortable. PROS: - The fit of the mouse is comfortable as f***. The position and tilt of the side buttons is 4 out of 5. The texture of the mouse is perfect, kind of a rubbery and bumpy texture that the G502 cant even compare to. The mouse wheel feels snug, yet easy to move. The right side finger holder for the ring finger is nice. Love holding the mouse. - The weights are a nice touch. Compared to the weights in the LogiG502, M901 is definitely better. A minor detail, but it was noticeable enough to put in the Pros. - I have to mention the Mouse Wheel again. Theres no side scroll, but it doesnt need it. Compared to any mouse Ive used, this wheel takes the cake. I hate how loose a lot of mouse wheels are, and this one was perfect. Loose enough to be able to move/click it easily, but tight enough to not have any accidental slips or over-scrolling. - Despite my issues with the UI, its still full of customization. It was cluttered, but simple. The different profiles are easily switched to, which is nice for me, being that my girlfriend also uses my computer and doesnt enjoy 6400 dpi (despite the 1440p...) - The bottom buffers are really nice/smooth compared to both the DeathAdder and the G502. The other two are almost sticky, whereas the M901 is really smooth. Glides across the pad really smoothly. - Solid left and right clicks. Dont have to put much, if any, pressure to click. At least less pressure than with the DeathAdder and G502. If I could use this mouse with Razer Synapse and the G502s G8 and G7 buttons (the buttons that are in the same spot as the fire button), and have NO tracking issues, Id never buy another mouse. The side buttons are annoying to click, but isnt as bad as I initially thought they would be. If youre thinking of picking up this mouse, Id definitely recommend it, and hope you have no tracking issues. Its a decent mouse outside of that, and my experience could be an outlier.

This isnt my first gaming mouse. The first one Ive owned was a Havit-MS735 mouse that I used for three years. It had the same button layout, but I decided to finally replace the Havit mouse because of two key issues: 1) the software it came with for updating the button layout sucked. It crashed so often it made it nearly impossible to switch between key configuration profiles. 2) The paint on the mouse started peeling after years of being in contact with my sweaty tryhard palms From what I can tell this Redragon Perdition 3 mouse fixed both of those problems. The software is similar in terms of its graphic user interface of the Havit mouse (same keybind, color change, and DPI setting options), but the Redragon program actually works at updating the key configurations and swaps between them flawlessly. Also, theres no cheap paint anywhere on this Redragon mouse. After 2 weeks of using the mouse right out of the box, it has an unexpected and satisfying rough texture that I fear will smooth out over time. But it looks like its got a long way to go before the paint starts peeling. It was a breeze for me to adjust to using this mouse largely in part due to the attachable weights that can make the mouse feel lighter or heavier to your liking. Finally, I was initially hesitant about buying this mouse due to all the reviews that said reaching the side buttons with their thumbs was awkward / uncomfortable. Im glad I ignored those reviews and bought this mouse anyway. I dont have any trouble reaching the side buttons. Granted, it feels quite natural to me since my last mouse had the same button layout. But regardless of how big your hands are, most people will eventually adjust to be able to access all side buttons with ease. People learn, grow, and adapt. Simple as that.

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 wanted a white mouse to match my new desk set up. I previously owned the Logitech G600 Mouse (which I still prefer/love). Redragon makes quality affordable peripherals. Their price range is solid. Their macro mouse is no different. It took me a little bit to get use to when I was gaming compared to my G600 but once I did, it wasnt terrible. I docked a star for ergonomics because theres just something off about the side keys and it doesnt feel as natural as my G600.

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.
