I was looking for a while for a mouse to replace my old wireless Microsoft mouse, which was terrible. I stumbled upon this while searching for something relatively affordable rather than just being a brand name with no functionality. Upon looking at the specs of this bad boy I had found out this was a gamers dream mouse, at least for me! I had ordered it immediately and got it within 2 days, as promised, and when I opened the packaging I was delighted to find the design very gamer-like, it definitely is targeting the gaming crowd, however the over the top boxing was backed up by the awesome interface that the software has, it's very Razer-like and simply to use. You must hit Apply for the settings to be saved on the mouse, and after reboot it will remember all your settings, even if you have multiple partitions with different operating systems, heck, this thing even worked flawlessly on my Mac! You just need to set up the settings on your Windows Partition, and it will carry over to Mac. The Macros are very helpful and the red button is perfectly placed, I personally made it a fire button. The customizability of this mouse's buttons are excellent, every single button is changeable! All-in-all this mouse , for the price and the options it has, is a steal! I would recommend this product to ANYONE who wants a gaming mouse, this thing has twice the DPI as a top model Razer Naga, you just can't go wrong with this purchase, also the weights are perfect and come with a box you can put them it.

This is a very early, initial review after using the M801 Mammoth for a couple of hours. I'm coming from a Logitech G400, and two different MX518's prior to that. Overall, I'm very pleased with the mouse so far. 1. Size, Grip, Comfort (5/5) -- I have fairly large hands, and this mouse fits beautifully. I like the contouring and the slightly rough texture around the grip surface. If you have smaller hands, this may feel a bit unwieldy, but for normal-to-largish grip sizes, this feels great. I tested it with the full weight added, then removed a couple of weights to see the difference, and immediately put the full weights back in. Even with the full weights in, the Redragon M801 is still lighter than my G400 was, so I figured I'd leave it as-is. Really, this thing feels like a dream. Be advised that this is NOT contoured for left-handed mouse usage. If you're a lefty, you'll want to look elsewhere. 2. Software and programmability (5/5) --- Took me all of 5 minutes to get my DPI and mouse click presets back the way I like them. I LOVE the fact that I can have 5 different button profiles for different application uses. 3. Click reaction / sensitivity (4.5/5) ---- All of the buttons feel solid and responsive, really like it. My only real complaint is that the mouse scroll "click" feels just a tiny bit more mushy than I might like, but really it's a minor quibble, and more a personal preference thing. The thumb button closest to the front of the mouse does feel a bit farther forward than is really comfortable to get to, but the thing has nine buttons, and I rarely use more than 4. The programmability and comfort of the mouse more than make up for any complaints I might have. 4. Motion (5/5) --- Wow. Just wow. Coming from a G400, there was an immediate, noticeable difference in the fluidity and responsiveness. It really feels great. 5. Overall value (5/5) --- Truthfully, when my G400 started randomly disconnecting and reconnecting one me, I dreaded getting a new mouse. I'm to the point now where I don't do a ton of gaming, but when I do game, I want to have a good, consistent mouse to get me through my forays into Left4Dead and Assassin's Creed. I really didn't want to spend $50 or $60 (or more) for a gaming mouse, when my needs truly are minimal --- 4000 dpi with programmable intervals, 4-5 buttons, overall comfort. I was *THIS* close to dropping $60 on the Logitech G502 Proteus, when I saw Amazon ads for Redragon mice. After exploring 4 or 5 different Redragon models, the reviews were all consistently high, and the M801 seemed a perfect fit --- and all for only $26. If my opinion changes, I'll definitely come back and update this review, but for now, this looks like a fantastic purchase. *UPDATE 7/6/2018* --- Everything in my original review still holding true. Still absolutely love this mouse, would recommend to anyone looking to get an excellent gaming-grade mouse without shelling out extra $$ for Logitech or Razer. Read more

I purchased this mouse as a replacement for my Razer Mamba 2012 which broke because the right-click got stuck and kept right clicking everywhere making it virtually useless, and quite frankly annoying. I searched amazon scouring to find a nice suitable replacement without breaking the piggybank, I saw this, the thought of a mouse going to 16400 DPI appealed to me because I was looking for something this high and for the price it was unbeatable, at first i was concerned because I had never heard of this company, but then i thought oh well if it breaks i can still buy another one for cheaper than buying another razer mouse. Looking back I don't ever regret buying this mouse, all the buttons are programmable to whatever you want you can set DPI to certain levels so say level 1 is 6400 DPI you can make any level after that lower or higher, Lights glow in a nice breath tempo (this can be changed to) the program for it is smooth and easy to understand yo can even have different profiles completely for different games or settings (so say from an MMORPG to an FPS) this is done by pressing the little switch on the bottom of the mouse so you don't have to open the program and select a profile. The mouse has adjustable weight settings and the mouse comes with a container to hold them, the mouse has a nice grip and has nice "ergonomics" and it glides fairly well in my experience they even send rubber feet to replace the current ones if they ever start peeling or tearing. ONE CON is that the light controller in the driver program only controls the logo light NOT the scroll wheel or two arrow keys hopefully a driver update might fix this or if you like your mouse to have different colors this might be cool to you. ALSO the lights buttons and sometimes macros you make will stay with the mouse if you go from a Windows PC to another Windows PC (don't know about Mac) so it's very handy if a friend is letting you borrow a PC at a LAN party. In conclusion if you're looking for a new gaming mouse to replace an old or broken one or are just getting into PC gaming and want a gaming mouse this is the one, I haven't checked out their other mice but I expect them to be just as good or maybe even better.
