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

Looked for a MMO mouse and this came up the highest. The mouse is a cheaper alternitive to the Razer Naga and is a pretty good one! Ive been using it now to play competitive World of warcraft and play FFXIV almost every day. While this mouse is great it has 2 major draw backs. Ill make a short list of the pros and cons. Pros. Price Texture (a bumpy kinda plastic, I actually love it) Software is actually good once you take a few seconds to figure it out braided USB line (what you come to expect is almost all USB products tailored towards gamers) Cons 1) Heat!!! - After about 1 hour gaming sessions the LED light in the palm starts to get noticeably warm. This doesnt bother me terribly but its extremely noticeable. I couldnt imagion if I was one of those people who get sweaty palms to be able to tolerate this at all. This was the big thing to prompt me to leave a review. I dont know if its just my mouse because I dont see other people having this problem but its there. 2) Side buttons - After coming from back to back nagas the side 1-12 buttons are extremely crisp and give you great feedback on when they are pressed... This mouse not so much. Much more on the mushy side my wife says. While they do their job just fine and I dont think ive had a issue when the press didnt translate to a cast... Its just one thing to mention. They seem to have a slightly more resistance then the naga so a bit more force is needed. Not a single button of the 12 gives a satisfying feel really. Worth entioning 1) People who have started that the 10-12 buttons are awkward to press probably havent used other gaming mice of this variant. They are no more awkward to press then any other MMO styled mouse. 2) If it seems I have a somewhat defective product (which is possible) If the company wants to send me a better product with these issues fixed Ill be glad to redo my review. Until then These really are the only downfalls to the mouse. I was going to give it 3 stars but If you dont have sweaty hands the heat issue isnt as bad of a problem.

2018 Update: After trying to replace this with a Corsair Scimitar - I just cant do it. The ergonomics of the Red Dragon have spoiled me. The lightness and preciseness are still better. The numpad on the sides design should simply be a standard at this point, and the rough coating means it never gets slippery from my greasy mitts.I just wish the mouse wheel wasnt failing. After buying a second I noticed its mousewheel feels as it should and was a little disappointed. The vendor requested I write a review, so here are my observations. For the price it is almost difficult to write anything negative about this device - you probably wont find a better one for the MMO niche that performs as well at said price. The tracking is very good, maybe better than any mouse Ive used, and Ive owned mice from XAI, Logitech and Razer. It even works on less-than-perfect surfaces. The bundled software is polished and functional. The main buttons have a great feel. Id even say the main two mouse buttons should be a benchmark for the perfect amount of clickiness and actuation pressure those buttons should have...for any mouse. The scrolling action of the wheel also has a great feel. The construction overall is solid, there is no flex. All is not perfect. The trigger button next to the first mouse button isnt recognized by any game Ive tried other than as Mouse 1. I honestly dont understand its purpose at all other than as a gimmick. The side buttons are too far back to make any of the last buttons useful. They also are too tough to actuate without moving the mouse around. Clicking the scroll button is hit or miss-- sometimes it clicks how it should and other times it takes a ridiculous amount of pressure to actuate. The latter could have most people write this mouse off immediately, and thats a shame. I took the weights out because it made the mouse feel unnecessarily heavy and caused it to pivot around the axis where they are located. Overall: good mouse, though slightly flawed. Has a funky, skateboard deck texture. Feels like it would outlast a Naga, which might be enough for some to put up with its foibles. I like the tracking so much Im even using it with FPSes, so I guess thats saying something. Hopefully the next model has a better wheel.

You could say this was a chinese copy but it’s better built than the naga Multicolored leds, weights, and you do not have to hold your hand in a half fisted position as much to hold it since it is larger than the naga, you can rest your hand more but needs to still be longer from the cord connection to the back where it sits in your wrist; the deathadder is perfect size and shape just needs naga buttons switching from deathadder to naga was good for gaming but holding my hand in this half fist position made me get cramps until i get used to it; and i has a similar logo to guildwars. This is really a 5 star product slightly larger than naga very similar shape and button design; as well as being better built w/better materials nagas casing is flappy plastic this ones way more durable about 3x the width and a better looking plastic and the button rows are seperated by design which with naga you do kinda s***ty and seperatly with buttons. The only problem with this mouse is they kept a similar size to naga which makes you ball your hand (hold in half fisted position while flexing muscles in hand it will hurt) and can cause cramps Razer deathadder is the perfect mouse shape and size for pure comfort I am giving this mouse 4 stars as a product due to it keeping nagas small shape they go deathadder with this button design and materials and they have the perfect mouse for mmo and comfort. 5 star transaction, 5 star everything but I want to give a 4 star so maybe they can produce a naga/deathadder hybrid for the comfort and have the perfect/best mouse out. With how well this looks built I highly doubt I will have the naga double click issue within a year since its a common occurence with naga and this mouse is less than half the price. This vs naga is a no brainer you buy this mouse.

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.

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.

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.

Got this to replace my aging Razer Naga Molten, which had several buttons failing to work consistently after around 15/16 months of use. I have small hands for a guy, which was one of the reasons I went for the Naga, since its one of the smaller MMO style mice out there, but I had to hold my hand a certain way to access all the thumb buttons. The Perdition, although slightly larger, its abit more ergonomic and sweeps in just enough to were I can easily access all of its thumb buttons. At first I did have some trouble getting use to it, mainly cause of the extra weight it has over the Naga Molten, but after taking out all but one of the included weights, it was a little lighter than the Naga and felt more natural to move around after using the lighter Naga for over a year. The thumb buttons and mouse wheel are very clicky, which I love, the way they are tilted makes them much more easy to hit the right button without any conscious effort. The software was the only concern I had about this mouse, because Razer Synapse is lets you do ALOT, but the Redragon software, while not quite as good as Synapse, its much better than I expected. Some people complained that you couldnt rebind the red power button, but I guess they fixed that cause I easily rebound it. The DPI lights on the mousewheel are one of the 2 shortcomings of the mouse/software, you only have a few colors to access, luckily I had the other lights set as red, which is the 5th dpi color setting on the wheel, so I adjusted the DPI for that color to my most used DPI. The second shortcoming is the software doesnt let you bind other mouse buttons, eg, Mouse 4 and Mouse 5 buttons, since the mouse itself doesnt have those buttons. I still think they should of put it in the software cause I literally had to change my hotkeys in over 20 games since I used M4 and M5 buttons on my naga in mose of my games. All in all, its a very solid mouse, which is shocking considering its half the price of the competition and is just as good, if not better physically. This is one of those expenditures that is completely worth every dollar you spent on it. --- EDIT: I forgot to add that I ordered this and a HausBell wireless mini keyboard/touchpad. Ive never had a problem with amazon packaging something until now. A 5 year old could of boxed it up better. Both ends of the box were open and had someone decide to take my items. they could of easily done it. When I got the package, I literally shook it up and down once without much force and my items fell out. This wasnt the product makers fault, just amazons as they fulfilled and shipped the order. After ordering hundreds of things from amazon, this hiccup is forgivable since the items werent stolen/damaged miraculously.

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.

I spent about a week reading reviews, watching youtube video reviews, and researching for a good gaming mouse before making this purchase. I play mostly strategy games and MMOs. I wanted something durable, accurate, and macro capable. Ive strictly been a Logitech and Steel Series owner in the past. My last mouse was a pricey Steel Series which recently needed to be replaced due to the right click button failing. Ive never had that happen before, so was willing to possibly try a different brand. The Redragon Perdition is basically the same as what Razor and Logitech offer, but for half the price. If you know gaming mice then you know which ones Im talking about. The DPI capability on the Perdition is insanely high, overkill for my requirements. I keep my profiles between 1200 and 4800. Yes it has 5 DPI profile settings, easily switchable with the two buttons directly behind the scroll wheel. A bonus is having these two buttons also be programmable. The scroll wheel is not a tilt wheel, but fine for what I use it for. I love the left fire button and have it currently programmed with my favorite macro. The side buttons are taking me a while to get used to, but I almost have the feel down. They are canted which help a lot. I stick with the first two rows of 1-6 mostly. The last row, buttons 10-12, are to far back for my large hand to comfortably use frequently. I have had to change my grip a little with this mouse. Its not small but I wouldnt describe it as big either. Its roughly the same size as my last Steel Series mouse. This mouse is very light, even with all the weights in. This will probably ease fatigue for a lot of gamers. However, I wish each weight were more grams, but thats personal preference. The grip is a rough texture which I like, not smooth or slick. It has changing lights for the button and logo, for those who care. The scroll wheel light changes based on your profile and is the indicator to show you which profile you are using. The software is simple but functional. You can bind keyboard keys and define macros with delays. It does look like you can do a loop, but I havent tried that yet. Gold plated USB connector check. Braided cord check. Avago laser check. Omron switches check (although personally these switches are a mixed bag sometimes). Standard Teflon feet or skids with a replacement set included check. NOTE: I updated my Nvidia driver at the same time as installing this new mouse and have been experiencing some crashes. Im pretty sure its the new graphics driver, but Im not certain my profiles are sticking ... so only 4 stars. If I keep having issues with the profiles then I will submit for a replacement. Otherwise this is a 5 star product and I am very pleased. Definitely worth the money and a strong competitor for very similar products that cost much more.

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.
