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

Im not sure what I expected ordering a mouse this cheap, but I must say I am absolutely astounded by the quality to price ratio of this mouse. The adjustable LED lighting works and does not disappoint with brightness and range of colors. The adjustable weight system was handy and not something I knew I needed. I personally prefer my mouse to be a bit heavier, so I left them all in, but I could see the ability to make the mouse lighter being advantageous to people who game more often that I do. The texture of the mouse was something I hadnt quite thought of before ordering, but it has a nice grippy textured surface on the mouse that I much prefer to the smooth plastic mice Ive used in the past. The star of this mouse though is definitely the programmable buttons. I was a little hesitant about installing the mouse controller software, but after a quick kaspersky scan came back clear, I though Id give it ago. The software is polished and intuitive for the most part. Most importantly, though, it allows for an absurd amount of customization of the mouse, which Id expect from mice in the 90+ dollar range. One important lesson I learned is that if you use a USB hub to connect the mouse to your computer, you may need to plug the mouse directly into the computer NOT the usb hub when pushing settings updates to the mouse. Once the settings have been sent over, you can return it to the usb hub without issue.

I bought this as a gift for my wife for Christmas because she likes to play World of Warcraft so I had been looking at the Naga and was going to buy it and decided to give this one a shot. After all of the reviews that I read on it I have found that there are a few hiccups however they can usually be fixed rather simply one of them was people were complaining about the macros and you couldnt do certain things in the mouse would lock up depending on the game that youre using it for and or whatever program youre using it for, some of these programs have built within them their own macrosystem, World of Warcraft does have one within it you just have to learn how to program it correctly once you learn how to program it correctly to whatever spell rotation you want to do then its very simple to program that one spell to one of the buttons. If you are using this for Microsoft Excel this works fantastic 4 programming repetitive formulas instead of having to actually look for them you can simply create your formula once as a generic and then modify it as you need to. In addition the response is truly amazing you can set the mouse to be extremely responsive or to be a lot less responsive I have not checked the rapid fire button but Im sure it will work just the same as the rest of it. setting it up is very simple you must first visit their website download this software and drivers and everything is programmed through that unit. I will actually be purchasing one for myself as I really enjoyed how this one performed.

I purchased this mouse after my Razer Naga 2014 broke (after only five months of use, too, which is a very common problem in Razer products). Ill do a direct comparison between the two mice: Ergonomically, this mouse feels great. I personally prefer the ergonomics of the Naga, but this one feels fine as well. You quickly adapt to it and experience no discomfort. As far as the buttons go, this mouse does well on its own. These side buttons are more sticky than the Nagas buttons, so you have to apply slightly more pressure to get a click, but this isnt noticeable or a real hindrance. Unfortunately, these buttons are not as easily distinguishable from each other as the Nagas buttons, and you have to spend some time adjusting to the placement of the each button before youre comfortable with using all of them. My thumb naturally sits on the 5 button (which *does* have an indent on it like the f and j keys on your keyboard) and it takes a small leap of faith to jump back to the 9 button, for example. The 1-6 buttons are easier to reach than the 7-12 buttons, and this is also true on the Naga. It should also be noted that the little red button to the left of the scroll wheel is too impractical to be used with frequency, and the scroll wheel does *not* move to the left and right. Im also unable to reach the two buttons directly behind the scroll wheel (which change DPI by default). The software which comes with the mouse is more lightweight and easier to use than Razer Synapse. It allows you to make 5 custom DPI profiles (mouse sensitivities), which range from 50-16400 DPI. The 5 DPI profiles are linked to the color of the scroll wheel lights: yellow, green, blue, pink, and red. These 5 colors for the scroll wheel cannot be changed, but the colors for the side buttons and dragon emblem can be any color. Its worth noting that some shades of yellow appear green-ish and pale yellow appears white. Other than that, you can use the full color spectrum, and it looks quite pretty. This is something the Razer doesnt allow for. Razer Synapse is also more bloated and less easy to navigate, in my experience. The software also allows you to assign macros and commands to buttons. By default, you can use simple commands (cut, copy, paste, etc.), advanced commands (close tab, show desktop, etc.), media commands (play, pause, next track, etc.), DPI switch, profile switch, and custom macros. You will have to turn to another review to learn more about those features, as I have not tried them yet. Another thing worth mentioning is the cable. It is not a traditional cable. Rather, it is a 6 ft. braided cable which is very flexible. Traditional stiff cables (like in the Naga) may develop a bend over time which strains the cable and may expose wiring. Lastly, I feel I should mention the price and durability of each mouse. The Naga costs roughly $60 and, looking at its Amazon reviews, is as flimsy as all Razer products. Mine lasted 5 months before the cord simply stopped working. This mouse is roughly $30 and, again looking at reviews, seems to stand the test of time. It comes with a 2-year warranty, which is outstanding for a sub-$50 electronic. I will edit this review if ever this mouse stops working. In summary: this mouse is approximately on par with the Naga and is considerably better in terms of its software, its visual settings, and its durability. The Naga does have slightly more comfortable ergonomics and easier buttons, but trust me: the difference is not worth an additional $30, or even $10. There is no reason to buy the Naga over this mouse. One last thing for other previous Naga owners: you will have to uninstall Razer Synapse if you buy this product. Otherwise, your mouse will randomly change DPI settings. This seems to be a common problem with previous Razer users. 4 month edit: Mouse is still working just fine. Just wanted to edit to affirm that the product has held up well. Edit June 2018: Works great, although I have to note: please buy the black mouse, not the white one. The white one gets slippery over time.

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.

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).

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.

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

So, the M901 has been my go-to gaming mouse for a long time, now. Probably since 2014-ish? Anyway, what you have here is the updated M901-2, not the M901. The official Redragon driver website does NOT support this mouse. I contacted them. They dont even sell it, and I was informed that they *do not support it.* They told me to contact the seller, instead, for any support or software. Its a real mouse, yes, but you have to take it as it comes. There is no software for it. I have looked everywhere online, risked a sketchy website and still did not find one. Whatever software is pictured with this mouse does not come with the mouse. There is no installation disc, link, or anything. The software is mentioned in the manual just as the software. Again, there are no links to it and it is not named. No, this mouse will NOT work with your Redragon M901 software. Ive tried. The redesign is big and clunky. The thumb guard is in the way. I will be returning this purchase. If you want the M901 (the good one, with software) then I suggest you buy from the Redragon site. Again this is the updated, newer version M901-2 that is being sold here, not the M901. If you want a gaming mouse for smaller adult hands that comes with software and is fully supported by the Redragon website (and their official resellers) then you should avoid this listing for now. Look for the M901. It looks just like this one, but without the thumb guard or the DPI lights on top. It does have DPI buttons in the same place, just not the red bar-lights.

For the price, you cant beat it. It doesnt feel quite as high quality as my old logitech, but it actually works, unlike the logitech. I like the programmable fire button on the left side of the top of the mouse. The only real aspect that I dont like that much is the fact that the color for the LED on the scroll wheel is not linked to the LEDs for the rest of it. That light changes with the DPI profile you are using, with choices between yellow, blue, pink, green and red. So, if you want to match everything up, you have to set the DPI you will usually use to the corresponding color that you want. It would be much better if there were an option in the included software to link the scroll LED color with the rest of the LEDs. You can also set the rest of the LEDs to any color you can think of, but not the scroll wheel. It works on every surface I have tried. It works on glossy surfaces, rough surfaces, mouse pads (obviously), pant legs, my face (which I just tried because I was thinking of places to test it), carpet, etc. Most of the people reading these reviews are probably worried about the durability of such a cheap mouse. Well, I plugged mine in on 8/9/2016 and as of 12/11/2016, it still works and looks exactly as it did when I first purchased it. I use it quite a bit because not only am I a gamer, I do a lot of work at home right on this computer. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. Update 10/30/2018 After over two years, the mouse is at the end of its life. A few months ago, the scroll wheel started randomly not responding. Today, the whole mouse shuts off randomly. It will work fine, then suddenly all the LEDs shut off, and the mouse completely stops working. After a second or two, it comes back. Ive tried it on more than one computer and it does the same thing. Two years isnt a terrible life for a cheap mouse, but its not spectacular. I guess Ill leave it at four stars simply because of the 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.
