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

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.

This is a great replacement for my Utech Smart Venus and slightly cheaper too in terms of price. Unfortunately as much as I love the Utech Smart mouse it started having mechanical problems with that double/triple-clicking and it does affect game-play which is very annoying. Hopefully the Red Dragon M901 would last me more than 2 years compared to the Utech Smart Venus. I like the packaging for the Red Dragon M901 as its small unlike most mouse packaging out there while they all look nice I just want to throw them in the garbage anyway because they are usually too big but this one is worth keeping because it doesnt take up too much space. This mouse is a little smaller and the left and right mouse button clicks doesnt feel as satisfying as the Utech Smart. But it works great and I do like that coarse material feel on the mouse. Also its very comfortable to handle even on long hours of game time. The driver while it almost looks the same as Utech Smarts driver is a little clunky to configure. It took me about 15 min. to figure out how to properly activate the breathing settings for the Red Dragons light. Also minor complaint that the mouse wheel light doesnt breath like Utech Smart, with the Red Dragon only the numeric side button lights + the Red Dragon logo light that does the breathing. I would have enjoyed it more if all the lights breath but its not a deal breaker imo just subjective preference. What I really didnt like about this mouse is the preset buttons I think Utech Smart did that right with a more balanced DPI presets. This one needs more work in that regard thats why I recommend doing manual settings on the driver so you can set your own desired DPI otherwise the mouse sensitivity from the presets would either be too weak that the pointer barely moves even if you slide the mouse all the way to the side or too strong where the pointer flies all over the screen and you barely even move it. If you play slow paced games 4000-5000 DPI is fine but if youre playing MOBAs, RTS or FPS that require faster reflexes then you can set the DPI as high as 24000 if youre that good. Even though I sound like Im panning the Red Dragon M901 more than Im giving it credit I still like this one a lot and it gets the job done and I would say its a very competitive contender to other MMO mouse such as the Razer Naga and Utech Smart Venus.

I really like that the surface of the mouse has a texture of grip to it. The mouse wheel also has a grip track on it so it is easy to scroll. This is my first MMO mouse and I love it. I cant believe I was playing WOW without it. The rapid-fire button I have only used a couple of times in modern warfare and it seemed like it worked half the time depending on the gun. The side buttons are tilted which helps me only push the button I mean too, and it also helps me feel where the buttons are. Buttons 1-6 are well within reach of my thumb and I use the bottom of my thumb (below the knuckle) to reach the rest of the buttons comfortably. I had trouble saving the keybind buttons in the software but it worked once I made the software run as administrator. You can also change the color of the mouse lights and buttons in this software. Overall I am very pleased with this mouse and I am now interested in this brands other products. I would not be shocked if this brand started competing with other major brands.

Im a long time Razer Naga user, and I use my mouse for World of Warcraft, as many others do with this type. Ive never had any issues with Nagas in the past, but recently I have purched the Razer Naga Epic Chroma and the Razer Naga Chroma. Now I may use these mice a bit different than most: I put all of my main abilities on the mouse side buttons and my longer cooldowns on the keyboard. This means the side buttons get a lot of use, particularly the top row. Both of my Nagas side buttons started to fail to register in 2-4 months. Something about the new mechanical buttons makes them wear out very quickly. I bought this mouse because it was half the price of a Naga and I figured it would keep me playing until my Razer mouses arrived back from repair. I wasnt expecting much out of this Redragon. Now on to my review: Naga vs Perdition comparison - shape is less comfortable than the Razer Naga coming from a person with large hands. The 10-12 buttons are a stretch to bend my thumb back to reach. - The side buttons themselves are harder to press than the ones on the Naga. They do not make much sound at all so its hard to know when youve pressed them. They do feel fine and are starting to grow on me. I feel I will grow to like them in time. - The left click button seems too easy to press, and has very little travel distance. Some Pros: - extra button next to the left click seems useful - weights are a nice touch, but not one I will ever care to use - on the fly profile and DPI switching built in is very cool - the texture on this mouse and the grip it provides is 100% better than the sometimes slippery Naga. I mean seriously, Im in love with the finish on this mouse. - Comes with an extra pair of teflon feet. The Razer ones wear out fairly quickly, and its not easy to get a replacement set. This is a very nice touch, thank you Redragon. - Software is about as easy to use as Razer Synapse. It actually looks very similar. Im not really into macros so i cant tell you how that works in comparison. Overall, for the price I feel this mouse is very high quality. A few small issues prevent it from being an instant 5 star for me. As far as whether its better than the Naga or not, Ill give the Perdition until I get my broken Nagas back to win me over. If the 2 button doesnt break, its already got a point over Razer.

I had a Death Adder and loved it but felt I needed more buttons as I wanted to get away from the reach of my G key macros from my keyboard. I felt I could be more efficient with the extra mouse buttons. I checked Amazon and ran across the Redragon lines. Unknown to me but they looked pretty good. I decided though I had some christmas gift cards from BB and I decided I loved my Adder so much why not go Naga. I tested it on the setup at BB and it felt alright albeit a bit smaller than the Adder but I went with it. I got home and within 20 minutes I seen my error. The shape of the naga is not the same as the Adder. What I mean the curvature of an Adder curves all the way to the mouse pad. The naga at the end of its curve has about a 1 drop to the mousepad. Very uncomfortable for my play style and worried long term use might cause issues in my wrist. I immediately took it back and got a new mechanical keyboard that I was planning on adding eventually so I could get the use out of my gift cards. This left me with still wanting a mouse so as soon as I got home I looked at Redragon again. I looked at the picture gallery of the mouse to see how its curvature worked. The pictures showed me it was similar to my Adder so I gave it a go. I got it a few days later as a Prime member so 5 stars on the shipping Amazon! The feel was close to my Adder. Not 100% which I never expected would be. It is slightly smaller in size but bigger than the Naga. What was important was the feel with the wrist. It feels great. Now that I got the feel lets get to the mouse dynamics: It has a ring finger rest. Not horrible just never have had one in the past. I feel I will get used to it. Dont get attached to the sound of 16400 DPI. If you can manage that kind of sensitivity you are beyond belief. That is just too much but thankfully it is highly adjustable. Mouse scroll feel good. Different than the adder but in a good way for me. Smoother without being too smooth. The mouse material is different for me as well. It is not distracting but I think if you get a sweaty palm or something else that causes your hand to want to slide it wont on this mouse. It is pretty subtle feel but you can sense it. The software that it comes with did not take long to figure out how to adjust. This is my first MMO mouse so it is a learning experience for me on side button configuration but I feel I got it on lock down now. The red button on the left of your left click button if your a first person shooter is an amazing burst fire. Instead of mash and hold and having a bad spray pattern this will have you in tight shape. The chord is that expensive mouse style of braided quality. If your into that then you will be happy. Every bit as good as my Adder. If your not well that is just how the more expensive ones seem to be now. Now the final part which is why I took the star off is the 12 button side buttons. If you were to sit the mouse on its side and looked at the angles of the buttons they form a contour in the shape of a w 1-6 no prob to get to but 7-12 take effort to be accurate. Luckily I dont think I will need to get that deep into them. I have them bound right now to the least needed abilities but it is clunky to do regardless. The buttons are not difficult to press but they are just your typical buttons. The Naga has mechanical these are not. To me that is no big issues. I only deducted the star for the difficulty of the back 6. I hated doing so but want to give an accurate depiction of the mouse. Finally the biggest thing that almost gave it back that 5th star is the price. Naga 65-70 and Logitech is up there as well for their MMO mouse you cannot beat the price tag of the Redragon. So in conclusion if you are debating whether to take a chance on it over the bigger names of Razer or Logitech to name a few then do so. It is a great mouse thus far after a week of use. If it changes I will readjust but thus far I am very satisfied.

High quality mouse. Surprisingly so. I have a Razer Naga Molten Edition mouse. The scroll click works roughly 30% of the time now after almost three years of use, so it needed replacing. Still runs well despite that, and given the number of buttons it wasnt sorely missed. I also broke the right click, but that was all on me and a bit of superglue fixed it. The little plastic piece that pushes the button down inside the mouse broke off and I just had to glue it back on. Ive loved that mouse from the moment I bought it, but if I didnt replace it Id worry about it giving out on me and leaving me stuck with a standard mouse. I could deal with it, but Id rather not as Ive been spoiled by the Naga for so long. I also considered the Logitech G600 mouse. I have a friend who has one and tried it, but I disliked the fact that it didnt have a button next to the left mouse button like the Naga Molten and this mouse do. The naga molten actually has two of these buttons but lacks the two over the scroll wheel leaving it with one button less than this mouse. The regular Naga does not have these extra buttons next to the left click so Id have to buy another Molten edition and thats a lot of money for a mouse. More than I really wanted to spend despite my love for the one I have. I got it on sale drastically reduced when I bought it and didnt find any sales close to the price I got on it before. The G600 does have a large button next to the right click, but I found it awkward. I came very close to buying it anyway as I know it wouldnt be that hard to retrain myself to use it, but then I noticed the Redragon Perdition. I really like having that extra button next to my index as I bind it to the use or open function in almost every game I play. I really didnt want to go without it so I took a shot. This mouse exceeded my expectations. Im glad I took a shot with this company as I actually like this mouse more than my considerably more expensive Razer Naga Molten edition. The Naga side buttons are smooth and the rear buttons are no more or less awkward to reach than this mouses, but the wave placement makes it easy to position where your thumb is. The two center buttons are a fine replacement for the extra left click button the Molten Ed. Naga has next to my index. I also really like the scroll wheel, its larger than either of the other two mice I was looking at and has a rubberized grip. The illumination is also better on this mouse, the G600 only lights up on the side and the Nagas wheel does not illuminate. The color options on the Perdition are also very nice. Illumination isnt a huge deal, but it is something else this mouse does better than either of its similar competitors. The Naga was great, dont get me wrong. Its the reason I was looking for a 12 button pad on the side of the mouse. I used it with little difficulty and 99% of the time I hit the right key when using the thumb pad. However, there was the rare occasion where my thumb would get lost and Id end up using the wrong key because they all feel pretty much the same. This mouse has completely eliminated that issue. This mouse is slightly larger than the Naga and the rest for the ring finger fits my hand better. Its also got a textured surface. As much as I liked the Naga, after a while my hand would unconsciously slide back due to the smooth plastic and from adjusting to reach some of the number pad buttons. It wasnt a huge deal and not even an annoyance as all I had to do was shift my grip and I usually barely noticed, but its an issue that Ive not had with this mouse. My hand stays in position even when Im using the rear buttons on the num pad. Also, its worth noting that several reviews have said that the red Power button could not be reprogrammed. This has been addressed and the newest version of the keybinding software allows you to program all the buttons on the mouse, including the scroll click and red Power button. You can get it from here: [ht tp://www .redragonzone.co m/en/download.aspx] You can also bind macros to this, which is very nice. Also, by binding a key to Shift you can double the amount of use for the keypad functions in a lot of games. One of the two top buttons, scroll click, or the red Power button would work best for this. The Logitech mouse does this better as it allows for a single key be bound to switch the function of the other keys on the mouse natively in its own software, but most games that use a large amount of key bindings allow for multiple key bindings. I found this mouse to be perfect for my needs. It works well for any game with hotkeys really and not just MMOs. Its an all around great gaming mouse. Between this and my Razer Hydra [I use half like a Wii nunchuck for movement], Ive got a pretty epic gaming setup and only ever need to use my keyboard to chat in MP games without voice support. Highly recommended. This is a high quality product, especially for the money. I like it more than either of the similar products from Logitech and Razer and Ive had hands on with all three. Also, super high DPI isnt all that great. Not sure why its touted as such a feature. I doubt the vast majority of people will ever use the highest settings of Polling and DPI. A lot of gaming mice promote this, so thats not a ding against this one in particular. Just saying that its not a big deal feature and you really shouldnt pay much attention to it when looking to buy a mouse for the vast majority of users.

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 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. ***

Pros: -The $30ish dollar pricetag for this makes it easily half the price of its main competitor, the Razer Naga. I feel like Nagas quality has been going downhill the last few years, and a Naga Razer was only lasting me around 12 months with every day normal use. Im not mean to my mice, the Naga just didnt hold up. I gambled on this because I thought, Even if this DOES break after a year, thats way better than paying $80+ for the same amount of use from a Naga. I got a few years of use out of my M901 and when I had a minor issue with it, I immediately replaced it with another. -It has mappable buttons, you can remap these to whatever your heart desires. I predominantly use this an an MMO gaming mouse to play FFXIV, and its perfect for that. I admittedly dont use most of the buttons except for the numberpad ones on the side, but its useful for that. -Speaking of the side buttons, they have a nice sort of concave/inverted tip to them, and this makes them very easy to use and differentiate which rows your on. -Its a little on the smaller side, which for myself (a person with small hands that most gaming mice arent designed for) is actually a very nice perk. Bigger mice make my carpal tunnel worse, so this slightly smaller one is nice. -They recently started packaging these in reusable tacklebox type cases so if you want to travel with it, it very neatly fits in this compact hard case. -It has weights in it, so you can get a more custom feel out of your mouse. Cons: -I dont particularly like the rough texture that they coat it with, it makes my hands feel oddly dry, a bit like touching the rougher sort of microfiber clothes. Its not a dealbreaker for me, and after a few months of use, it will wear down enough its less noticeable. -Even with my small hands, I sometimes find my pinky can drag a little off the side, so just be aware of that if its a thing that bothers you. This might heavily depend on how you hold your mouse too, so this may just be a me thing, and I definitely dont hold it against Red Dragon. --- This is the second one of these Ive owned, and I only replaced the first one because after years of use, it started to hold left click a little bit, which was really only noticeable when I was highlighting text to copy/paste. Im sure this is an easily fixable issue, and it didnt even do it that often, but I didnt want to mess with it too much considering I can just get a brand new one for $30. All in all, Red Dragon is making very good quality products at a fraction of Razers price tag, so if youre wanting to try a gaming mouse but dont have the dosh to fork over for other Razers products, seriously consider giving Red Dragon products a try. The price tag makes this a very nice entry level for anyone even looking to try a MMO-style gaming mouse.

Ive been using the Redragon Perdition for a couple of weeks. Now that I have a feel for it I believe it is time to write a review for this great product. As a graduate student who also has a job there hasnt been as much time to use this in a game environment as I would like. I have set macros for my regular everyday tasks. Such as cut, paste, open chrome, new window, close window, forward, back, lock windows, etc This I believe has really increased my productivity....it has been hard for me at least to train myself to use myself to go to the macro over keyboard shortcut first. After about two weeks though I have noticed that I do so now about half the time without even thinking about it. -Pros * The mouse feels great and the textured coating is comfortable. It fits well in my hands which are seriously brutish. It has nice braided cord, as well the fit and finish are excellent. * Looks damned sexy the lighting effects are nice and not over the top. Everyone compliments it when they see my setup and asks about the mask. (Mildly frustrating with the beast of a battle station I have setup. :D ) * The back set of number pad a bit tricky. Everything else seems to be easily navigatable. * Interchangeable polling rates of 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz. * Quick change DPI settings are: 1000 (orange), 2000 (green), 4000 (blue), 8200 (lavender), and 16400 (red). * Multiple profiles (5) * Adjustable weights * The software interface is simple to use and not overly obnoxious to look at. Ten minutes to get my desired controls. Then a day to test them and realize I forgot some things or need a few changes. Then five more minutes of tweaking and VOILA! newb perfection. -Cons * The back column (7, 8, 9) can be awkward * There is no left or right tilt function to the scroll wheel. (I would have liked this to use as a ctrl + tab macro) * You cant program the mouse to do an infinite loop, like hold down right-click until you tell it to stop. * Nubs or raised dots on the keys would have made it easier to reset my thumb * The scroll wheel light is assigned according to DPI (So it mismatches other colors, doesnt bother me but maybe it bothers you.) -Overall I have used the Logitech G600 and Razer Naga both had little things overall I liked a bit better and a bit less. The thing is for the price paid as well as its own pluses this is a great purchase.
