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

I bought the Perdition in January of 2016, and now that its been a little over two months that Ive had to play with the mouse I decided to finally sit down and write a review for it. So I first bought the Perdition after my 2014 Razer Naga died after only one year of use. I was a bit hesitant to buy this mouse because I never had heard of the Redragon brand before, but after my Razer died within a year I was looking for alternatives and at half the price of a Razer I decided to give this mouse a shot. The main differences I noticed between the Perdition and the Naga were that the Perdition is actually a bit bigger than my Naga was, but it wasnt uncomfortable fitting in my hand and Id consider my hands average size. The Perdition also had a textured surface which made for easier gripping compared to the smoother Naga. The mouse even has a nice, long, braided usb cable that appears to be much thicker than my Naga and I havent had any issue with the cabling curling like my Naga tended to do. One of the bigger differences between the two mice though, is that the Perditions side keys are angled differently by row compared to the Nagas which are all the same. The angled keys make it easier to know which row your thumb is on without looking, so its a bit easier to train your hand if youve never used a mouse like this before. I also noticed that the Perditions side keys take a little bit more pressure for a response and have a bit less of a sharp, clicky feel to them compared to the Naga, but after familiarizing myself with this it didnt take me very long to adjust and now I dont even notice it. The mouse came with the ability to weight tune it – but I found that I didnt need it – and a software installation mini disc. It isnt necessary to install the software to use the side keys, but if youd like to setup things for macros, adjusting mouse speed, change the LED light settings, etc., then you need to install the software. Fortunately, the software is relatively pain-free to install and easy to setup things such as changing the colors of the mouse lights, the pointer speed, etc. Theres also five available profiles that you can save your settings for which is nice if you have several different games you play and each calls for a different set of macros. Ive installed the Perdition software on PCs running both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and have had no issue with it whatsoever, and so far Im really enjoying it. I bought the Perdition along with the Redragon Archelon gaming mouse pad, and they work great together, although Im sure the Perdition would be just fine with any mouse pad that you have. The real test Im waiting for when it comes to this mouse is to see if it can outlive my 2014 Naga which lasted only a year with regular use. So after I hit a years use Ill be looking to come back and update this review to reflect my findings. Overall, from what Ive experienced so far the Perdition is a great alternative to the Razer Naga series of mice and at half the price it cant be beat. Ive also read a few other reviews about people having parts breaking on the Perdition, but I havent had any problem with things like that, although I will keep this review updated either way. ---Update 10/07/17--- Its been over a year since Ive had the Perdition and Im happy to update that unlike my Razer 2014 Naga, its still alive and kicking. The mouse works relatively well and Ive only had one issue come up with it which is a minor annoyance, but Id love to see the manufacturer fix it nonetheless since I know they can already make a good mouse. The issue Ive had with it is that the 6 and 7 side keys seem to stick, as in when you press the 6 it will also act as if the 7 was pressed too. This can get a bit annoying while gaming, but Ive set my game buttons so that the 6 & 7 button use the same ability so I hardly notice it anymore. At first it was annoying and I contacted the manufacturer that told me to uninstall the Perdition software and to reinstall it, which fixed the problem for a while, but eventually the issue popped up again so I found the aforementioned work around. Still, Im rather happy with my purchase and Id definitely be willing to purchase more peripherals from Redragon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As being a Razer Naga owner, I needed to purchase a new mouse due to the double clicking issue that it was having. The Nagas always seem to have the same trouble. I was looking at the new Naga, but I still was not sure if I should buy it. Then, I discovered this Redragon Perdition gaming mouse. I read some reviews and did some research on it, and bought it. Simply put, WOW! For starters, it fits my hand quite a bit better. I should probably add if you have smaller hands, the Naga would be a better option as the Redragon sits a little bit higher and a little bit wider. For me anyways, I have no hand fatigue whatsoever. Removable weights, genius! All you have to do is remove the bottom access panel underneath it and customize how much weight you want. It also came with a little weight storage case, so you wont lose them (unless you lose the case xD). Indented side-buttons, what does that mean? The first two rows are indented towards each other, and the last two rows are the same as well. So, you will know exactly where your thumb is on the grid. It felt a bit different at first compared to the Naga, but I was able to learn where the buttons are on the first day of usage. DPI setting buttons (up and down), is stationed right behind the scroll wheel. Each DPI setting changes the color of the scroll wheel so you have feedback on whether it did change or not. Software - for the most part, fairly straight-forward. Set DPI settings, program side buttons, change colors (a lot of colors with a breathing mode), create profiles, etc. I would recommend this to anyone over a Naga. One, it is a hell of a lot cheaper (was originally $100, bought mine for $46, now its $37); Two, it feels (so far) comfortable and durable; Three; it has all the goodies you need to do what you want with it. Excellent product! I am optimistic I will get more than two years out of it instead of the Naga. I have no bad feelings toward Razer as they do make some awesome products. Until they fix the Naga clicking issue, the Perdition will do just fine for years to come. ~UPDATE~ 11/22/2014 - 6 months later, works just like on day one.

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.

I bought this mouse because it was exactly what I was looking for, and at its current price, it seemed like a steal. When I received this mouse and opened up the box, I wasnt immediately disappointed. It felt sturdy, well made, in my hand. Its black finish felt almost rubberized, and offered excellent grip. The software that came with the mouse was easy to install and easy to use. I had high hopes for this thing. The real problem lied in wait until I actually started using the mouse in an MMO. I am a woman, with probably average sized hands, but compared to a mans, I would consider them small. While properly resting my hand on the mouse, my thumb could not reach the very important top row of buttons 1-3. They were completely out of reach until I shifted my hand strangely to the side so that my thumb was in a higher position. Playing for hours at a time with my hand not placed at its usual, comfortable angle made for a sore wrist at the end of the gaming session. Over time, I probably could have gotten used to it, if that were the only problem I had. The next problem presented itself to me at the most inconvenient times. It was a struggle trying to find the right button to push in the mess of 12 buttons my poor little thumb had to navigate through. Now, I will admit, that maybe this has more to do with me, and less to do with the mouse, being that this mouse was my first 12 side-button mouse. But, I cant help but feel like there wasnt enough distinction between each button. They seemed to almost all blend together, especially the buttons in the middle column 2, 5, 8, and 11. I could not hit those buttons properly if my life depended on it, and being a Healer in this particular MMO, not only did my life depend on it, but everyone elses too! And finally, the last problem I noted was the mouses overall jitteryness. I messed with the settings for extended periods of time trying to make this mouse move smoothly during gameplay, but each time I only ended up making it slightly better than it was before, but still not where I wanted it to be. This mouse would make the camera in my game rather hard to control and its movement was shaky. I tried lowering the DPI, while upping the acceleration, lowering them both, keeping them both at the same level, the whole bit. No matter what I did, cursor and camera movement always felt a bit unstable. The only way I could achieve some normalcy in this department was if I turned both the DPI and acceleration down to an almost sluggish level, then things would finally feel somewhat smooth. I wanted to love this mouse... I really did, and I tried hard to make myself love it. I gave it a solid week to prove to me that it could be what I wanted it to be, but it just didnt make the cut. Its not a terrible mouse, and I could see this working better for someone with bigger hands, or longer thumbs, but unfortunately, I made the decision to return this product and continue my search for something that fits me.

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).

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.
