Review on Redragon M801 Wireless Gaming Mouse with RGB Backlight, 9 Programmable Buttons and Macro Recording for Windows PC Gamers - Black by Bryan Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great mouse, needs some tweaking!

Finally a wireless gaming mouse with charging, RGB, also at a great price. Compared to the Redragon Griffin mouse, this mouse has greatly improved ergonomics, but still leaves a lot to be desired. It can be rounder and wider, and often my ring and pinky fingers just slip off when I move the mouse. No complaints about dpi adjustment and scrolling, side buttons, on the other hand I disagree that the first button is "L Shift" and the top ones are "Back" and "Forward" which makes me just me to stretch for the forward keys. . Otherwise, the ideal position is directly above the thumb rest. I've never seen a use for the "fire button" found and adjusting the poll from below is normal. I want to remap these buttons, but the software drivers don't appear on the download site. Battery life is excellent, and the included USB-C charger means you can use it both wired and wireless. Very clear charging with indicator lights. The radio receiver is ok. receiver, it works. RGB colorful and bright, placement is spot on, no hotspots, overall good. Can't change it without software so it gets stuck at the rainbow effect. (Edit) The software only allows you to change the outside edges to a static color. The logo can switch colors, but it's not very bright. Eventually, the scroll wheel only lights up to indicate the charge level. The build quality of this mouse is pretty plasticky like other Redragon mice, but still solid. The rubber feet on the bottom are fine as with their other products. Overall, at $40, this is a great budget gaming mouse, as are many of their products. My only problem was that the lack of software limited my overall comfort. Update : As of 10/26/2019 the software is now available on their website! Update: As of 11/20/2020 the mouse is still working great and haven't had any issues with it so far. I also add mouse grips on the side to solve the grip problem. Update : As of 10/26/2019 the software is now available on their website!
