Redragon M901 Gaming Mouse RGB Backlit MMO 19 Macro Programmable Buttons with Weight Tuning Set, 12400 DPI for Windows PC Computer (Wired, Black)

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 wouldn't be my first pick for something such as sniping on a precision first person shooter, But it's 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 that's what they're 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 I've 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 I've seen complaints for them being hard to press, I actually find them extremely easy to remember and hit. Ever since the first time I've used the mouse I've had no issue. Due to how they're positioned, It's 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 you're thumb is, And the same goes for the third and forth row. Only instead of the raised bump being on the five, It's the key closest to the five, the 8 key.The finish on this mouse is probably one of the best I've 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 I've owned this mouse, I can't 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, I'll come back and revise this to reflect on that.Overall, This is one of the best mice you can use for MMO's, Due to it's 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, I've had no issues at all in the two years I've 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 I've just instinctively been using it for everything as long as I'm not planning to play a shooter like Overwatch. This is by far the most amazing MMO mouse out there, even two years later.Disclaimer: I'd also like to note, It appears as though there's another similar looking product by Redragon and I'm 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. I've 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. I'd 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. I've noticed no hand fatigue while using the mouse (Palm), And I'd 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 it's 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, You'll notice obvious mouse acceleration. I'm uncertain if others will notice it before that point, I'm 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 aren't intuitive in comparison. I've 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 isn't 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 it's 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 wouldn't 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. There's no incentive to buy the Naga over the Perdition, If you're looking at a mouse with this many buttons for an MMO or RTS, I think you'd 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.I'd also like to note, It appears as though there's another similar looking product by Redragon and I'm 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.

Alright, I had this mouse for a while now. Like 6 months now. Figured it'd be best to test drive it and all before I praised, or condemned this item. So here we go. The Redragon M901 Perdition edition is fantastic in many ways, with minor downfalls. I've never owned any top tier mice before, mostly just for the cheap 20$ mice from your local Walmart or BestBuy. And I didn't expect to big of a difference between mice, but was I wrong. But before I get to ahead of myself I'll just split this into more detailed subsections.The Design:The design feels great, for those who are right handed and have medium to large hands that is. I have had a few others hold it and they also agreed it feels great, although those with smaller hands had to adjust there positioning to make it work right and even than couldn't get the bottom row buttons, so if you're a small handed person beware. Nonetheless, it felt great holding, with the nice groove over making your thumb rest on the top 2 rows of the side buttons, while you can easily slide or use your thumbs joint like I do, to press the lower section. The buttons themselves are relatively easy to push, but not so easy that you will press them when you don't mean to. It has a nice grip feel to it, that's also relaxing and has yes to cause cramping in my hands after 4 hours of gameplay. The texture of the material is also nice, I was expecting a glossy like finish from how the picture looks with the glare, but instead I was met with a light sand paper like feel, imagine like 400 grit sand paper. It wasn't over intrusive as in to make you notice it, but it wasn't faded that it would be completely missed. It give's it a nice gripping for when things get heavy in the game, but is soft to the touch for the light internet browsing. So far this texture has yet to fade or show wear which is great. Than there's the all important right and left clickers, they are one with the shell of the rest of the mouse, excluding the scroll wheel, and click lightly but nicely. My only concern is that I may one day end up clicking on it to hard and repeatedly that they might break, the Steam Summer Sale Game gave me this concern so much I downloaded an auto clicker just to be safe. Perhaps I'm just to overly cautious. Carrying on. There's the scroll wheel and the DPI + and - buttons. The scroll wheel is ripped and feels nice, made of rubber, and is quick to scroll with, it lacks the left/right clicking most gaming mouses have these days but that doesn't really bother me. The DPI button's are nice and out of the way, in a concave like wall around them so you don't end up clicking them when you don't need too. Which brings me to another point, the extra red button you see on the left is used to switch profiles, i'll get to more on those in a bit, which I find myself sometimes to end up sliding over it and clicking it switching through. Maybe it's just me though, the designers did try and elevate it up some as to keep you aware of where it is. There's also a nice groove on the right side of the mouse to relax you ring finger on, which adds to the comfortably of it all. Lastly the lights are pretty, there's a nice breathing effect, with varrying speeds, and completely always on, or just an off selection if you're not a fan.The SoftwareThe mouse comes with a disc with all the software and drivers. If you don't have a disc drive like me fear not! Just head over to there website and download it all from there, plugging in the mouse will get you the drivers, or just use of the basic drivers so you can accomplish such a step. The Software is easy to install with no hassle, and once it's done you can add it to your desktop or not whatever. I did because I like to customize the settings every so often and want to keep it right at the tip of my finger. The Software use is pretty straight forward, the mouse comes with 5 profiles, each of which can be set to a different playstyle, for example I have profile set for CoD and other FPS games, while I have another set up for The Old Republic and other MMO's, and even one set up for internet browsing because why not? Starting from the main screen you can adjust the button assignments, and by that I mean everything that's clickable can be changed. You want your right click to be linked to Shift? Sure you can do that. You can add shortcuts, hot keys, single keys, make it lock your PC or disable a button completely, to any of the buttons. It's very nice to have all this control, and it makes having all these options pretty neat. Can change the acceleration and poll rate here also which is nice, maybe on profile one you want to be able to turn quickly in an FPS so you increase it all to the max, but profile 2 you got a MMO that you don't want to turn so fast when you move just an inch. Second screen allows you to adjust the DPI of all 5 different levels for each individual profile. But wait, you can unlink the XY axis so that you can increase your Y and not your X, why would you do that? Well now you can look up and down at crazy speeds, while looking left and right at average speeds, at least that's what I did for FPS games. You can also disable the levels if you want to which is considerate of them. Than you got the light settings, you can choose a color from a select assertion of colors provided, or find the right shade of color you want via a color slider. You can make the lights super bright, or dim. Can also add in a breathing effect, solid effect or turn them off. Only one problem I found, rather inconvenient, is that the scroll wheel light is not customizable, nor can it be turned off either. You are stuck with the 5 preset colors of yellow, green, blue, magenta, and red. So if you want say, white as your color of choice, than you can have it as the logo and side buttons, but your scroll wheel will be one of the aforementioned colors depending on what level you are set at. This bothers me to a degree, but I looked past it because, well besides me, who else is going to see the mouse anyways and see what whacky color system I have going on?VerdictI love this mouse, it's comfy, cheaper than other gaming mice, and is easy to use. There's a lot of custumization to it that feels great and makes it feels like it's MY mouse. On a scaled of 1-10 I'd give it a 9.8 just due to that last gripe I have. Would I buy this again? Most definetly. Maybe I'd try for a newer version from Reddragon, see if they improve anything, but this mouse is pretty great and I don't see a need to get a different one.
