The price of this wired mouse is great. The glossy finish is premium feeling and the RGB is subtle yet noticable. It paired well with my white keyboard and allowed me to map various keys to customized functions for productivity and also with light gaming. RedDragon is an exellent entry level addtion to PC peripherals.

Ich hatte vorher sehr namenhafte Produkte für über 60€. Kompletter Schrott.Diese Maus hier erfüllt ihren Zweck mehr als gut. Ich habe recht große Hände und komme gut zurecht. Die mitgelieferte Software ist rein optisch nicht Mega krass, erfüllt ihren Zweck aber mehr als gut.Für Gamer, gerade auch im Bereich Ego-Shooter absolut empfehlenswert. Hält und funktioniert.

Spent some time doing research on mice; i'd used an ET. mouse before, the Piktek T7 that had some notoriety a while back, but the wheel started dying so i went for another one, wanting a couple extra buttons and better ergonomics. Felt a little odd at first but comfortable. Only complaint is i'd prefer the primary button presses to require a little less force to click.

Bought for ₹1000 I think.I am reviewing this mouse almost 1 year after having bought it. I’ve used it extensively, for thousands of hours of intense online gaming as well as casual use.Firstly, the brand is killing the competition. It may look like some cheap Chinese company, but the products they make offer serious competition to bigger brands. This is clearly visible in the M601. The packaging is great too. Don’t let the name fool you, this is a powerhouse of a name in gaming.Design:The mouse itself is extremely ergonomic. It offers a perfect fit for me, and is very comfortable for long hours, doesn’t lead to any wrist or finger straining. The positioning of the side buttons too is quite nice, and there’s no trouble reaching or feeling them. The textures of the whole mouse are great, with nice, grippy Button 1 and 2, a grooved scroll wheel, and hard plastic side Button 4 and 5. Under the scroll wheel is a button to change DPI settings, as well as small LED color. Light color of the bottom logo and the side is all red, and very nicely lit, but this small LED one is independent. Beware though, as LED color changes with DPI settings. This may be convenient for some, as you can remember settings easily by color. But it’s unaesthetic to have a red mouse with a small blue light. I always keep it on the red setting and change DPI settings through software, so you can do that as well if you prefer a total red aesthetic. Below the mouse is a small circular opening (slightly difficult to open) housing a set of weights. This in my opinion is very useful. I like heavy mice, hence keep all weights in. Without any weights, the mouse is decently light. This mouse is incredibly comfortable and designed well, but the small independent LED light is a bit annoying.4.5/5Durability:Quality-wise, this is top notch. The mouse is very sturdy, and can take a lot of hits. All the plastics are high quality, and the braided cable is impressive. Very long length and durability, you will never have to worry about it getting damaged due to bending. A lot of people have complained about the mouse freezing and such, but they probably have driver trouble or are not using a good surface for the mouse. I use a Redragon mousepad as well, and I suggest using a mousepad for this one, as the bottom surface can get stratched easily.5/5Features:The mouse comes with 2 extra buttons on the side that are programmable through software, but don’t have any real need to be programmed. Honestly, I found the 5 buttons that the mouse has to be adequate in most gaming niches. Other than that, the mouse has nice LED lights that look great in the dark, and an adjustable weight via small weights in the bottom. There definitely are mice with better features, but features that come with the M601 will not be found in this price range.4.5/5Overall, this mouse is terrific in the price-range. To be clear, it is a basic gaming mouse, with almost no programmability. In terms of features, it is definitely lacking, but not for its price. It definitely beats all other competition, including base mice from brands like Steelseries and Razer, in terms of value for money at least.If you’re in the market for a new basic gaming mouse, have only ₹1000 to spend and/or want a very long-lasting, and comfortable mouse, look no further.

Alright, so to be clear - this mouse has a sensor that will not compete with a name brand companies optical gaming grade sensor in terms of tracking and consistency (ie. Logitech, SteelSeries, Zowie, etc.). Now let's continue to the review.At the price point of $12.99 this mouse definitely exceeded my expectations. Seriously for the price I was not expecting much, mainly the reviews and non-outrageous looking pictures of the product drew me in. I work from home time to time along with playing games quite a bit, I love FPS games particularly. I got this as a "back-up" mouse as i'm used to using a rival 300 (and like quality mice) for FPS games and such (competitive). My requirements for a back-up mouse were simple - needs forward and back buttons, doesn't look to crazy, does what it's supposed to do. My rival had recently broke after several years of reliable performance. The build quality on this mouse appears to be on-point. Nothing felt loose or cheap about the process while inspecting it/holding it in my hand right from the unbox. The mouse clicks were firm and comparable to most gaming mice i've used in the past, they have an omron click feel (to me).Now for my take aways:The sensor seems to be a little sluggish at times, nothing super critical but coming from a high quality sensor it was definitely something noticeable, but at $12.99 it was something to be expected. Their is a reason most newer/more known gaming mice go for more of a premium price, being around $60-80. I will note that most premium gaming mice do include custom UI software that allow for more in-depth custom tuning. If you're looking for that you will not find it here but come on.... $12.99...Definitely made for a crowd with smaller hands. The rival 300 was a little bit big for me but still comfortable, this mouse definitely is a lot smaller but still fits alright for me. An extended gaming session could yield some discomfort, but again depends on your grip style and size of your hand.The side grips on this mouse are plastic, probably helps with durability/life of the mouse shell and cosmetic appearance but doesn't sit well with me in lines of comfort. Not a huge deal for the purpose that I bought it for but something definitely worth noting.The red led light is constantly in a "breathing" mode but it doesn't really bother me as i'm used to rgb lighting.Most places i've seen this mouse advertised promote custom UI software but this (currently) does not appear to be the case. Mouse settings in windows control panel seems to be your options for remapping which for me is not a big deal but was definitely a misleading thing. If you're trying to bind custom loops then you might be disappointed.The shape of the mouse takes some getting used to, a combination of the smaller size and plastic wrapped completely around (rigidness). I'm used to mice shaped more towards ambi with a slight right-handed dominant contour.Overall, even with my takeaways they were not critical enough of issues to really bring the rating of this product down for me. The build quality is nice. Braided cable. Lengthy cable. Crisp lighting (for those who are into that sort of thing). On the fly dpi switching.If you're considering this product I would recommend it. Good for any one on a budget, looking for a decent back-up until a major name replacement, or someone who just doesn't care about brand names. I've read reviews of others who had faulty mice, no issues on my end so far. If I run into anything I will update this review but i'm currently awaiting my main replacement which is going to be a zowie fk2. As I said from the start I will leave you with, if you're coming from a major name gaming mouse this will not be 100% comparable in terms of accuracy of the sensor. Don't expect a Zowie, Logitech, SteelSeries, etc. comparable sensor. I would recommend this product. Great back-up, or entry level gaming mouse.

Auf der Suche nach einer neuen, insbesondere ergonomischen Maus bin ich im Blitzangebot auf die preiswerte Redragon M601 gestoßen.Mir ging es nicht primär um die Gaming-Tauglichkeit sondern um die Ergonomie und Haptik. Meine bisherigen Office-Mäuse aller Preisklassen führten trotz angeblicher ergonomischer Gestaltung zuverlässig zu Hand- und Unterarmbeschwerden.Also habe ich mir gedacht – was für Spieler gemacht ist, muss für Büroarbeiter erst recht geeignet sein und bei dem Preis und den Rücksendeoptionen ist das Risiko gering.Der „Mut“ hat sich gelohnt. Die Maus liegt aus gesprochen gut in meiner Hand, die Haptik ist durch die angeraute Oberfläche angenehm und sie arbeitet absolut präzise. Schick und gut verarbeitet ist sie zudem. Beschwerden habe ich auch bei langer Nutzung nicht mehr.Sonstige Eigenschaften wurden in anderen Rezensionen schon umfassend erläutert. Den positiven Meinungen schließe ich mich an. Zu kritisieren habe ich bislang nichts.Zur Ergänzung:Ist der Rechner aus, ist auch die Mausbeleuchtung aus. Im Standby leuchtet sie – kann man auch positiv sehen, so zeigt sie den Betriebszustand an.Von der Redragon-Homepage kann man die Software zur Tastenprogrammierung beziehen. Diese habe ich bislang nicht installiert, mir reicht die Standardbelegung.Fazit:Aus meiner Sicht erfüllt sie alle Erwartungen und ich kann sie als Office-Maus nur empfehlen – man erhält viel Maus für relativ wenig Geld. Oder anders ausgedrückt – ich habe schon bedeutend mehr Geld für weniger zufrieden stellende Alternativen ausgegeben. Die Gaming-Qualitäten kann ich allerdings nicht einschätzen.

So I've had the Centrophorus for about 4 months now, and here it is- the good, the bad, and the ugly.Pros:- The on-mouse DPI adjusting button is very helpful. When playing CS:GO I often find myself operating at 1600-2k DPI while running about, but frequently using the button to quickly switch down to 1k for precision.- It grips like some Razer mice I've used. I've got fairly small hands, and it's extremely comfortable.- I have never experienced any lag with this mouse whatsoever.- The software is your basic driver software. None of that acceleration or auto-move BS. It is a mouse. The end.- I know for most people it won't matter, but I actually like the adjustable weight of the mouse. This can help determine how much force you need to apply to move the mouse. Depending on what you're doing, you may want it to be heavier or lighter.- The price tag: My last mouse was a sixty dollar Razer Deathadder, whose scroll wheel broke off of it's detector mechanism 4 months after purchase. This mouse has given me less grief and better performance for less than a third of the cost (Don't get me wrong, I love Razer).The Cons:I don't have anything to put here.Overall, I think it's an amazing mouse. It's inexpensive, it's adjustable in basically every sense, and works magnificently in every respect.I will update this if any problems do crop up, but until then, this would be my mouse of choice.Edit: This mouse is now over a year and a half old, and still going strong.Edit 2: After two and a half years of loyal service, today I had to take a moment of silence for my Redragon Centrophorous which was killed by an unknown issue that caused all buttons on the mouse to stop working. When I bought it, this mouse cost me 18 dollars. I got 30 months of use out of it. I'll take that value. I'll be ordering a new one shortly!Edit 3: Autopsy revealed no signs of water damage or physical damage, and my best hypothesis is that the poor little IC in it finally couldn't take the heavy use any more and gave up.
