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

Ive had this mouse for 6 years and have used it to play WoW. It has been solid, no issues at all. Its responsive and with the weights, you can get the feel that you desire. Best overall value compared to other more expensive brands.

BLUF: I’m not gonna buy another one of these and cant recommend it. I forgot I had purchased this in 2017 to try to play WoW again after a long hiatus. I stopped playing WoW about a month after starting (was boring) and my PC has been gathering dust since then as I have been playing primarily console (xbox). Last month I saw that WoTLK Classic was about to be released and wanted to try classic again. Got bored of WoW again and this thing has annoyed the crap out of me since it double clicks with every left click. I havent used this thing since I last played WoW in 2017… Its obviously well out of the return period, but its literally only been used for about 2 months and the left button is already failing. I liked the extra buttons for abilities, but the side buttons are a bit to close to each other. If they spaced them out a bit more it would improve the mouse ergonomics and make the buttons easier to push.

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.

Figured I would throw a 5 second review up on a new mouse that I bought while my Naga is being RMAed. This is coming from 1 weeks of use so of course my opinion could change down the road. I have never heard of this company before and that makes me a bit nervous. Luckily though the mouse was 1/2 off ($50) when I bought it so that made it a bit easier to pull the trigger. This mouse also had a laundry list of of features so I will just cover each one and my thoughts on them. 1) The 12 side thumb buttons This is a must for me now on any mouse. The range of 2-5 buttons on my right hand, more if you use alt/shift modifiers with them, are not enough. On these mice I always use 1-6 for twitch/placement abilities and 10-12 for various mounts. Additionally I use alt + 1-6 for more abilities. To lose this functionality would be a bad day, and indeed it was when I had to go to a 2 button mouse for a couple of days. These buttons on this mouse feel pretty solid and give a bit of a click when I depress them that is audible. They are not as pronounced as my mechanical keyboard but they seem to be more mechanicaly (made up word) than my Nagas side buttons. I think I like the actual switch in these better than the Nagas as they feel a bit more solid and give more feedback. These buttons, as opposed to the Nagas, are concave between the 1-6 and 7-12. You can see it in the pictured how the rows alternate pointing towards each other. If you have large thumbs this has been a bit of an issue and I have to be a bit more careful in my key selection vs the seemingly easier to select Nagas. If they were flat, or even the whole thing convex like a bubble, I think I would them better. 2)16400 DPI OMGGGGGGGG! I have this cranked down to 5000 and that may even be still too high. I have the mouse setting under control panel very low and the mouse set to 5000 DPI. Moving the mouse 1 on my desk is akin to 3-4 on my monitor. You can keep 5 different DPI settings registered at any time and switch on the fly. 3)Left / right click These feel super solid and have yet to register a false click. Meaning pressing on the left hasnt triggered the right. I have had this happen on some mice if I am a bit spirited in pressing the keys. 4)Mouse covering Durable smooth TEFLON feet pads and contour body for ultimate gaming control. The mouse feels super high quality and I have yet to lose my grip on it. I need a good sweaty palm play session in some heroics raids to test this further but so far so good. I like the feel of this mouse better than my Naga. 5)The colorsss man, the colors! You can pick between 1000s? of LED colors on this. There are maybe 15-20 main colors that you pick, and then you can open the color pallet in that range to further change them. The scroll wheel is set to the color of your currently selected DPI setting range I think, so that may not match the mouse. I currently have my mouse mapped to an aqua blue and I LOVE it! 6)Weights I have never had a weighted mouse before this one. I have tested removing portions, and all, of the weights in the mouse and I cant feel too much of a difference. I have been leaving all of the weights in though as it does seem to add a bit of weight and in turn make the mouse feel more solid. A nice quality touch for the package as a whole is that it comes with a case to store the weights in should you not want to use some. 7)Programming Your imagination seems to be the limit on programming the buttons on this mouse. You can assign typed in macros to each key, key combos (shift + 1), etc. This was super easy to setup with the provided software. You can then just map that key combo to keybinds in games and it just works. Overall I am very happy with this mouse. It feels super solid, comes packaged and presented well. The weakest part for me are the angles on the thumb keys but I have been adjusting quickly to them. I am going to guess that the construction of this mouse is better than the Naga, but I like the feel of the Nagas thumb buttons better. Taking the thumb buttons out of the equation I would think that this is a better mouse. It feels better, it seems more solid, the buttons themselves seem better and the customization you can do to the colors/key combos is very good. I would say buy it if you want to get a mouse for $50. If you want to spend 30 - 50% more then investigate a Naga or maybe the G600.

This mouse is another one of those incredibly awesome for the price type things. This type of mouse obviously has a small overall market being targeted at basically only the MMO crowd, It really is a nice feeling mouse. The tracking of this mouse is slightly above your average mouse in this $25 - $40 price range, However it does a kind of odd feel to the tracking. I can say honestly that this wouldnt be my first pick for something such as sniping on a precision first person shooter, But its still better than a lot of mice *for* it. The mouse supposedly has an 18 month warranty which is great, Inside the box you get replacement feet (or pads) for the bottom of the mouse in case they peel off. Or at least I think thats what theyre supposed to be. You get a MINI DISC for the drivers, However you can download these on their website (Redragonzone.com) The usual instruction manual, and a warranty registration card from ChallengerUSA. The software that comes with the mouse is relatively simply to use, You can make five different profiles, This includes being able to individually set different DPI settings, side buttons, and front(top) buttons, Which can be mapped to most button combinations that Ive tried. My favorite combinations involve using Shift + a number key or F key. This makes hotkeys in a lot of MMOs very easy to reach for those who struggle to do so. You have 12 side buttons, And though Ive seen complaints for them being hard to press, I actually find them extremely easy to remember and hit. Ever since the first time Ive used the mouse Ive had no issue. Due to how theyre positioned, Its easiest to describe it as thinking of it as two sets of six keys, Row one and two of the buttons slant towards each other like this /, With the five key having a raised bump to it so you know exactly where youre thumb is, And the same goes for the third and forth row. Only instead of the raised bump being on the five, Its the key closest to the five, the 8 key. The finish on this mouse is probably one of the best Ive personally seen (At least on the black version), It feels grippy to me, Which is something I personally like, The build quality seems very nice, However due to the short period of time Ive owned this mouse, I cant say anything for the durability of the side buttons. On one of my previous mice(Different manufacturer, Different mouse), The side buttons wore out prematurely, So this can of course be a concern. Should something happen where a button stops responding as it should, Ill come back and revise this to reflect on that. Overall, This is one of the best mice you can use for MMOs, Due to its shape it fits snuggly in the hand and I never seem to suffer from my hand cramping up on the mouse, The buttons are more than easy enough to hit even out of the box, And the software is easy enough to maneuver. Having five different profiles is a must, And being able to have five different levels of DPI on each profile is also nice, Despite being somewhat unneeded. All the buttons to my knowledge seem to be able to be mapped, And it seems extremely solid. You always have to be careful buying offbrands, But this one is well worth it for those playing MMOs. Another update, Two years later! This mouse has still been an amazing product to me, Ive had no issues at all in the two years Ive owned this. All of the side buttons are still functioning normally, and the grip/texturing of the mouse is still perfectly fine without any obvious wear into it. I consider it such a comfortable mouse to hold that Ive just instinctively been using it for everything as long as Im not planning to play a shooter like Overwatch. This is by far the most amazing MMO mouse out there, even two years later. Disclaimer: Id also like to note, It appears as though theres another similar looking product by Redragon and Im unsure if the reviews are combined. This review is solely for the Redragon M901 Perdition, NOT the M990 Legend. Again, This review does NOT address the M990 Legend. Edit almost a year a later(Old update), I feel it was time to come back and update this review, This mouse still functions, looks, and feels just as good as it did on day one. Ive noticed no changes on the grippy feel that I mentioned previously which was at one point a big concern for me which has now been put to rest. The Omron switches on the side of the mouse have given me zero issues so far. Id like to say that this mouse somehow ended up becoming my daily driver except for when I play FPS games. This mouse is just too comfortable for something as casual as an MMO or RTS. Ive noticed no hand fatigue while using the mouse (Palm), And Id say the buttons are still just as easy for me to accurately hit as I stated before. I use every single button this mouse has almost every day. If this mouse were to somehow take I dive (I doubt this will happen as it seems like its a tank at this point) I would fully and whole-heartedly buy this mouse again, Nothing will replace it for me. The only new con I can add to this mouse has to do with mouse acceleration, Something many of you will dislike. When you start pushing past the 8,000 DPI mark, Youll notice obvious mouse acceleration. Im uncertain if others will notice it before that point, Im just your slightly above average Joe who just wants to properly review this mouse. I have now tried the Logitech G600 MMO mouse, I personally feel the shape of it is terrible, And the side buttons just arent intuitive in comparison. Ive also tried a Utech Venus, It seems to be exactly the same as this Redragon Perdition besides a small lip at the bottom, I strongly dislike the lip Utech has as my thumb gets stuck on it, And the grip isnt near as nice. And lastly the Razer Naga, It honestly deserves my second favorite MMO mouse award, But I still have to give credit where its due, To me this Redragon Perdition stomps it. I again have an issue with the buttons having no real indication where your thumb will be, The grip is fairly similar and honestly it seems to track just a tad better. Why this is I wouldnt know, But I believe they use the same or similar sensor (I could be very wrong about this, Do your homework) however I did end up experiencing the double click issue on it, And it costs $20 more. Theres no incentive to buy the Naga over the Perdition, If youre looking at a mouse with this many buttons for an MMO or RTS, I think youd want the easiest design to learn and get used to so I take huge points off the Naga for this one thing. In my opinion, The ONLY MMO mouse worth buying is this beautifully built Perdition. Save yourself the money, Get this over the Naga and be happy. Id also like to note, It appears as though theres another similar looking product by Redragon and Im unsure if the reviews are combined. This review is solely for the Redragon M901 Perdition, NOT the M990 Legend. Again, This review does NOT address the M990 Legend.

I bought this mouse about 2 years ago and have been using it ever since. The side buttons are really useful for a lot of games, I always hate using the top row number keys and this has been really great for that. The programmable DPI is really useful, easy to switch between on the fly, and I never forget which mode Im on since you can program a different color for each DPI. I only have a couple complaints. First off, the triple click button only seems to work in Windows and not in any games. This is understandable since I can see how a lot of games, especially competitive ones, would not want to allow macros like that. If you can find a game that uses it, great, just dont expect it to work in every game. My other complaint is that my scroll wheel has been really buggy, hence why Im buying another one. When I scroll it skips and stutters and it is nearly useless now. This has happened after daily use for 2 years, but I was really hoping it would have lasted longer. I dont know if this is user error from getting something in the scroll wheel or because the parts are wearing out. But either way, the mouse is only about $33 so its not a big loss. Im sure there are better mice out there, but I have really gotten used to the feel of this one and have gotten a lot of use out of its features so I would rather just buy another one of these than try and hunt down something thats better AND has all of the same functions.

Im liking this mouse. I was torn because I almost went 4 stars but as you can see Im going with 5. I was thinking 4 stars because the left and right click buttons seem really touchy. When I first started using it I would sometimes click the left button by mistake because I was not used to how easy it clicked. But I dont want to blame the mouse on this. I think it seemed so easy because of the cheapo mouse that I was using before was just that hard to click. After using this mouse for a few days Ive gotten used to it and am now loving it. For gaming it is AWESOME!!! I was worried it would be hard to press the correct thumb button but it is not. The way it is set up it is easy to feel the correct button (for firing grenades, or switching between weapons) . This mouse seems to fit my hand perfectly. I usually wear a XL Mechanic Glove (But I can fit into a L Mechanic Glove I just like a little more room). That being said I have Large to XLarge hands. Im not sure how well this mouse would work if you have petite hands. Im not saying it wouldnt. Im sure people with smaller hands would learn how to use it too. Maybe some of the farther back thumb buttons would be a little uncomfortable to reach but do you really need ALL 12???? lol I set my games so the items I use the LEAST get assigned the 10, 11, 12 buttons. Ok one other thing that I am a little disappointed in is the RED Fire button. I was thinking this was a extra button that I can program to do something completely different from the left click button.. It seems that it is not. It is basically just the LEFT CLICK button that you can program to double click or triple click (if you click the red fire button one time you get a double click out of it). I dont want to deduct a star for this for a few reasons. 1 I still like the mouse and Im sure down the road Ill find use for a double click in a game, and 2 it may be possible to program it to do something completely different but I just have not figured out how to do it yet. So for now Im keeping my 5 star review. I really do like this mouse and I would recommend it to others looking for an affordable gaming mouse. If I could I would rate this 4.5 stars.

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.

Before switching to this, I used a Logitech mouse that was more expensive and stopped working within a year. I then bought one of these and all the buttons felt great to press, but I had the same issue and the mouse stopped working in around a year. I then bought another again in 2020 and it is still works in 2023. Only complaint of my current mouse is that 3 buttons out of the 12 need slightly more pressure to push, so it feels a bit weird when I need to use them. That issue aside Ill probably order from the same brand again if ever need a new mouse.

Heres some interesting information that the gaming community needs to know about this mouse, coming from someone with far too much knowledge about gaming mice (and partnerships with the companies that make the laser and optical sensors). First and foremost, these Cheap Chinese Mice that get rebranded as MSI, Logitech, and whoever are really the same internals. What it really boils down to are the goodies inside. A mouse is a very simple peripheral that can be put into a few categories, which I will review individually. Switches, Sensor, Driver, Form, Aesthetics, and Other. Switches: This mouse uses really nice Omron switches. When it comes to long-life, good-quality switches, Omron is pretty much the king. Omron makes industrial switches, but also really high performance switches that go into things like gaming mice. These switches have very high precisions of actuation, meaning the amount of force required to press and trigger the switch is very precise. It also means that these mice are going to last through a lot of those games, whether youre playing an FPS or pushing it to the limit in a game like Torchlight. Sensor: There are two reigning champs in sensors. Avago and Philips. Avago makes incredibly good optical sensors and Philips is known best for their dual laser sensors. Both make really great sensors. This mouse has the highest DPI Avago sensor to date, which means that you could crank the DPI to an insane level and have incredibly precise tracking. For things like an FPS, this is pretty important. I want to say that not everyone needs this high DPI. Its just a very nice to have in such a cheap mouse. Driver: Some mice dont have drivers. In fact, most mice are simple HID (Human Interface Devices) and never get anything but a generic driver. So why is there a whole section for drivers? Well it does really matter on a mouse that has a bunch of buttons. These buttons have to be programmed and it matters if this programming is on the mouse or on the computer. Redragon was nice enough to have some onboard storage on the mouse so that when I configure this mouse, I can take it to any computer, plug it in as an HID, and use it with all of my profiles without setting up the driver. Nice! The drivers themselves are really nice, install quickly, save profiles one the mouse, can save them externally, have lots of configuration options. It very will thought out. The RGB lights on the mouse can be custom set, custom DPI modes can be set, every button on the mouse can be rebound to something else. Overall, they did an excellent job and I dont have a single complaint about the drivers. Form: The mouse itself is very ergonomic, whether youre a palm gripper or more of a claw gripper like myself. The side buttons were cleverly formed so that my thumb can press the front ones with the tip and the back ones with the ball. These side buttons, at first, seemed to be a little firmer than I wanted, but I soon realised this was well thought out so that I would not accidentally press buttons or press when I had to grip the mouse to lift it. The entire mouse is coated in a nice textured polymer that gives an excellent grip. It also gives more feedback for when Im touching a button, as opposed to the rest of the mouse since they are different textures. The adjustable weights are a very nice touch. I prefer my mouse to be a bit lighter, so I only have 3 of the weights in. Someone who prefers a heavier mouse or who is used to a wireless mouse may want all of the weights in. This mouse also has side rests for my ring and pinky, which I hope is becoming more of a trend. My last mouse also had this, and Im glad to have another with this form. I do hope theres a lefty version of this mouse, but for someone whos definitely a dedicated righty, its nice to have a mouse that fits my hand for long use. Aesthetics: This mouse does come in a couple colors, which is nice. I chose the Black version, because all of my hardware and bezels are black. The red is a nice touch because it does add a splash of color. Being able to change the center breathing light color is also very nice for indicating special profiles. The Mouse wheel will change color with profiles and overall I really do like the looks of this mouse. Ive never been a huge fan of some mice, namely the R.A.T. and some of the Razer mice, but this one is actually pleasant on my desk. It also has a red braided cable that gives a bit of color all the way back to my computer. Other: There are some things that dont fall into the other categories, so they fall into the other category! The USB plug is a bit large. If its plugging into a laptop, itll stick out pretty far, but its nice that its not going to break off and that its easy to remove. As mentioned before, the cable is braided, which is really nice. Its not a removable cable. Some people call that a con, I count it as a huge pro because I never want my cable detaching mid game. Redragon was nice enough to send replacement teflon feet for the mouse because they assume youre going to game hard and wear them out. It has an 18 month warranty, which is unusual. Its not long or short, its just unusual to be a year and a half. They do make other mice, too! If youre looking at mice, look at their other ones, too, you may find one that suits you more. Ive actually purchased two mice from them because they suit two purposes. One is an MMO mouse and the other is for FPSs. Overall, I couldnt be more pleased with this find. I do highly recommend this and their other mice because theyre really well crafted and well thought out.
