Review on πŸ‰ Redragon M908 Impact RGB LED MMO Mouse: 12,400 DPI, 20 Programmable Buttons - High Precision Gaming Mouse by April Bee

Revainrating 3 out of 5

First thoughts - returned

I've been using it for about 15 minutes and so far it's working. That's a mouse. He has a pinky. My biggest complaint so far is that the pinky has a shiny finish and my ring finger and pink get sticky with a bit of sweat when using it. Should be matte. Otherwise, for those complaining about not being able to find the software for the M908, I did a google search, found it and installed it in 5 minutes. Some noodles are just not fully cooked. Will be updated over time. *Update* This mouse has been used for several hours and has got on my nerves enough to warrant a return. Not because it's buggy or buggy, but because of a few design decisions I just can't agree with. The operation is smooth and functional - it works a lot. The software is pretty much rebranded software from another company that I have used before, it has the exact same layout and look and feel. Within 5 minutes of plugging this mouse in and booting into Windows, I was able to download the software for this particular model and update the firmware. What I don't like about this mouse is that it's a little "halfway" between almost big enough and not big enough due to the small edition design. I had to unnaturally rotate the mouse toward the radial side of my forearm to get my fingers fully on it, and holding that position (my grip by default, of course, without conscious thought) caused my forearm to eventually tense. I had to make a conscious effort to keep this mouse upright as intended. After gradually reverting to an unnatural grip, the side buttons were out of reach. I find if the clicker end of the mouse were wider and didn't have the rear end protruding for the side finger rest, it would be much more natural and tolerable to use. This back protrusion was also counterproductive, as I had less room for my mouse and often went over the edge of my keyboard tray, which then led to tracking problems because the mouse no longer lay flat on the mat. If you have more space than me, that's no problem. The second issue I encountered was the use of glossy plastic on the sides for the finger rests and side buttons. My fingers quickly began to sweat and this resulted in a very uncomfortable wet grip and constant rubbing of my fingers on my pants. Not everyone will have problems like mine, some may prefer shiny ones and not all will have sweaty fingers, and some smaller hands may be very comfortable with the "half" style of this mouse. Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. I'm sending this back and replacing it with a Utechsmart Venus which I've been using for the last 21 months until the middle clicker came out (which I actually use A LOT) and the left click started double clicking occasionally. In general, the Venus has no additional pinky support, and I only partially rest my pinky on the side of the mouse and mouse pad, moving it while moving the mouse. I also use a bit more claw grip when holding my mice, the pinky can be more useful when you're not, and the finish on the one I bought is completely matte. Overall it's not a bad mouse, only the difference between the fit in my hand and the sweaty plastic grip I experienced would have put me off buying it again. If these bits are updated in the future I will definitely consider buying again.

Pros
  • quick change
Cons
  • communication with seller
