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

UPDATED after 9 months of continuous use gaming. Pros: - Construction is generally acceptable, no flimsy plastic or misaligned parts or other such nonsense that you sometimes get out of knockoff brands. - Adjustable internal weights. I put them on a scale accurate down to the milligram; I found only 0.015g variation between the heaviest and lightest weights so thats good enough for me. They arent for lab use, after all. - Software drivers that actually work. Razer did finally work most of the kinks out of theirs but most of the other clones have this as an Achilles Heel. Even Corsair struggles with software, their mice are great but the drivers are trash. - Good button placement and ergonomic design. Ive been using MMO-style keypad mice for as long as theyve been on the market, and this feels right to me. Cons: - The scroll wheel light color is permanently out of sync with the light color of the rest of the mouse. You can adjust the color in the drivers, but you cant fix this problem by any means Ive found. Does not affect function, but it looks absurd and will annoy you if youre picky about such things. This is aside from the fact that its a mouse covered in colored lights with a dragon logo on it; some guys like that, but we all know its just gamer bling. - The driver software is pretty much what you expect from a Chinese team on a limited budget. Brutally efficient and packed with typos. No seriously, expect typos on the main menu selections and grammar so simplistic you can tell it came from a dictionary. Again, doesnt hinder function, but you will shake your head at the jankiness of this. - THE BIG ONE: after roughly nine months of use, the left mouse button now double clicks occasionally. Its mostly tolerable now but its a familiar problem, in a couple months it will be completely unusable. This gives the mouse roughly half the lifespan of my previous Razer Naga, at about half the price. I wasnt terribly satisfied with the lifespan on the Naga, since I had an OG Naga from 2008 still working fine to this day but scuffed up. What does it take to get a durable mouse with good drivers these days? In summary, its a Chinese knockoff that works about as well as what it imitates, while being even less durable despite looking and feeling pretty tough. Its not a bad choice for a budget mouse if you need a new one now and dont have the cash for anything better at the moment. I was initially actually very happy with it, it gives a strong first impression in most respects, but breaking in under a year is a pretty big black mark, only saved from being worthless by the fact that its quite cheap and functional while it lasts. If youre able to get a longer lifespan from it, it could be a good value.

Edit July 4th 2020: I recently ordered another one and I dont think its the same version I received and loved a few years ago. The side buttons feel strangely placed and it just feels awkwardly shaped. I want the old version back! :) Mind you its been a few years since I had the original (black version) so maybe my memory tricking me. I originally wrote a mostly negative review. I want to thank ChallengerUSA for its stellar customer service. The white one I received had strange issues (pointer would start jittering and moving by itself randomly, the pointer wasnt precise at all, etc.) So I sent it back for a full and prompt refund. After receiving my refund ChallengerUSA contacted me offering to send me another mouse completely free of charge just to make up for my trouble. I even requested that they send a black one instead of a white one (I have a monkey that found my white mouse way too attractive) and they gladly did and shipped it in 2 days (arrived on a Sunday). I was not expecting the white and black versions to be physically different. Turns out that the black one has nicely textured matte finish whereas the white one is made of slippery cheap-feeling plastic. The black one is much easier to hold onto due to the texturing plus the material is heavier (a GOOD thing) than that of the white one which felt like a paper airplane even with the weights installed. In fact, it seems slightly bigger including the side buttons. I notice that the side buttons on the black mouse are a bit wider whereas the white mouses side buttons are a bit narrower and taller. Makes a world of difference. Whats true about both versions: The side buttons have the perfect amount of pressure, every button is programmable, software lets you program anything you could want with this mouse. I cant emphasize enough the potential amount of control this software can give you. The cord is one of the best Ive ever seen. My G700s cord was easily damaged being pinched between my desk and slide out tray leading to connection problems. Good thing the expensive G700 is also wireless (wish the Perdition was). On the white mouse the right click button occasionally would catch on my finger resting on the right side of the mouse and pop loose from the mouse; luckily it didnt break off the 3 times I had to press it back in. Apparently, the top left and right click buttons on the black one are more flush with the housing and there is zero chance of this happening with it! :) The construction quality of the black version shines. Edit: Just happened 10 minutes ago. I left the room for about a minute and when I came back my squirrel monkey had BROKEN the left click button completely off (just ripped right through the plastic)! Totally my own fault for not sticking it in the cabinet before leaving the room. They bent over backwards to do something nice for me and I let this happen. I feel so mad at myself right now. If only Redragon had the same level of customer service as ChallengerUSA let alone a complete website (missing info, links that go NOWHERE--very amateurish). I almost bought the Asura K501 gaming keyboard but some reviewers didnt even receive their software CD required to utilize the macro keys. Redragon doesnt even offer software for their keyboards on their website. In fact, they only have one keyboard in their product listing! So far they havent responded to my inquiry about that. So Im hesitating on taking the chance. Luckily they do provide the software for their gaming mice which is stellar.

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.

I was up in the air on getting this mouse back I 2014, but after almost 10 years of owning this mouse, I’d say money well spent. I play a lot of MMOs and the extra buttons definitely come in handy. I recently bought another Red Dragon mouse as the one I bought in 2014 is finally showing issues. Only con I would say is the size of the mouse and some of the side buttons can be tricky to hit but you get use to it and find a nice hand position. Overall this is a great mouse and responsive mouse too. Haven’t tried the wireless one yet.

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.

I had owned a Razor Naga gaming mouse for two years. I loved the programmable buttons on the side. It made gaming so much easier! However, after about a year and a half, the mouse began to perform oddly. When I would use the left mouse button, it would often double click (even though I only clicked once) and this was becoming a nuisance. I did some research and discovered that many other people were having this same issue; however, I really loved the programmable buttons on the side. I knew I wasnt going to buy another Razor, since there were so many people having issues with them and they are not cheap! So I began searching on amazon for programmable gaming mice and found the redragon. I read the reviews and was a bit concerned about some of the problems people had, but decided to try it out. I am so glad I did, I love it! The mouse is a little unique because it is wider than the Razor Naga. Thankfully I have had no issues with my hands cramping up while using the mouse; however, I naturally rotate computer mice in my hand, to the left (counter clockwise). (Just want to add this bit of information because this is a personal preference, which may be a bit odd to some people!) My fingers fit perfectly as well as comfortably on the mouse and I believe this gives me better access to the programmable buttons too! The options for the mouse are amazing. As mentioned by other reviewers, it takes sometime to understand the programming options that the Redragon mouse offers. But in my opinion it is worth going through the rigamaroo and have a mouse with a lot of customization-able options (lights, speed, sensitivity, etc...). The mouse lighting is a bonus and they have many colors to offer. The summary says there are five customizable options and each option has a preset color. I want to point out that these colors can be changed and the program offers far more than five colors! If I recall correctly there are fifteen but dont quote me on that. In my opinion the mouse is better than the Razor counterpart as far as features (though the buttons on the Razor Naga are easier to use in the beginning). I hope that the Redragon continues to work well and does not suffer from the same flaw as the Naga. If it does, I will be sure to update my review! If you buy this product, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Keep in mind, I rated this 2 stars based on the things I value in a mouse. The things I wanted: 1: A mouse that can track as well as a Razer Abyssus or even Death Adder while supplying me with the features of a MMO mouse with programmable buttons. 2: A mouse that glides easy. Conclusion based on the things I want: You get the features, but not tracking or smoothness. Im using a Steelseries QCK pad, which could be a problem, but I ultimately found that the Perdition has inconsistent tracking thats jittery and has lag spikes even at 500 DPI. I found a way around this by turning up the DPI to 8,200, then lowering the cursor speed in the software settings, which made the tracking about as smooth as something between my Razer Abyssus and a standard mouse, though it still seemed inconsistent and suffered from lag spikes wherein the cursor would seem to slightly jitter/drag every 30 seconds or so. I dont currently play any MMORPGs, but was considering trying RIFT because a friend said its fun. I do, however, play FPS games like CSS and TF2 and Minecraft 5-15 hours a week, along with the occasional RPG like Skyrim. Though I play mostly casually, Ive been really competitive in the past playing FPS games and MOBAs and when I do play them now I still strive to perform well. Sadly, this mouse isnt comparable to my Razer Abyssus or old Death Adder as far as tracking/precision goes. It has tracking only slightly better than a standard mouse youd buy at Wal-Mart for 15USD. If you only play MMOs or Minecraft and want features in a mouse than functions as well as a standard mouse, then this is a good buy, admitted. Pros: Though I never got used to the shape of the mouse, its really comfy and the texture of the material is very nice. It feels like a forgiving plastic sandpaper, which I loved. The buttons on the left side are a little smallish, but feel really solid and of quality. The red button on top I like, but its a little too high in my opinion. The scroll wheel feels really nice. Its super smooth, wide and has a nice rubber texture. The software is really nice. You can customize cursor speed, the DPI of every 5 quick select settings from 50-16,400, double-click speed, acceleration, logo/button brightness, color and pulse speed, as well as assign any button on the mouse to any key/button/command you like. You can make macros and assign them to any button you like, among other things. These are just some of the software features that work really well. Cons: When you see a mouse can go up to 16,400 DPI (16,400 Dots Per Inch Sensitivity) you assume that the tracking sensor is AMAZING, but youd be wrong. The tracking sensor of this mouse isnt much, if any better than what youd find in a standard mouse. Thats saying a lot, because if you go from a quality gaming mouse with a good sensor to a standard/low quality mouse its virtually un-usable. Unless you turn cursor speed down to like 5%. Example: With standard cursor speed settings @ 16,400DPI even the slightest possible movements my cursor would skip across 10-20% of my screen at a time, and even at low DPI settings its still jittery. It baffles me they would give you the option to exceed 1800 DPI with a sensor this sub-par. The software settings get messed up when you switch between setting profiles or restart. Mainly the thing that messes up is the cursor speed, which has to be re-adjusted every time you change profiles or restart. The only way I could get the mouse to feel smooth is to set the mouse at 10,000 DPI and turn the cursor speed down to about 5% speed, which I had to redo every couple hours, or every restart/profile switch. This gets very annoying. Fun stuff w/Macros. If you play ADC in LoL, or games that require simple button combos, then the macro is the thing for you. I used to main ADC in LoL at Plat level and setup a macro that could give you an overnight boost in your mechanics. Basically what I did is create a LoL profile and in this profile made the red button on top my normal Left-Click,, Then I assigned a custom macro, easily accomplished in the software to my mouse, which is basically A + Left Click with a 10MS delay. This basically made is so you attack-move-click instantly when you left click, removing the need for click accuracy and having to learn to A+Left Click efficiently. You only have to get used to using the red button for normal left clicking, at least while using the LoL profile. This can be done effectively with other combos in LoL and like games, like Alistar W-Q combo or Lee Sin ward jumping. Ultimately, if you want a mouse with average tracking, but good features thats big and comfy, its a good deal, but if you want the tracking of a real gaming mouse, look elsewhere. If you play FPS games competitively, then dont buy this mouse. I would rate this 3 stars if the software was perfect and the settings never had to be re-adjusted, 4 stars if it had the tracking sensor of the Razer Abyssus, but still had the software problems, or 5 stars if it had both.

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.

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.

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.
