Redragon M601 Gaming Mouse Wired with red led, 3200 DPI 6 Buttons Ergonomic CENTROPHORUS Gaming Mouse for PC

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.

I've been using this mouse for at least 6 months now, and it's still working just fine.My only problem is that the middle mouse button sometimes gets stuck down, when you press it > and you have to wiggle it or wait a moment for it to pop back up. Depending on what I'm working on, that can be very irritating.Other than that, I love this mouse. The buttons are easy to press, the scroll wheel is pretty easy to use, the side buttons never get in the way, and it's a nice looking mouse. The dpi button and adjustable weighting are nice bonuses as well, although I don't use them often.Update:It's now been roughly two years since I purchased this mouse. No major issues have arisen, and I still use the mouse every day.A few things to keep in mind: There may be some variation in the dpi/ppi settings for different customers. My mouse came with 1000/1600/2400 as the three presets. These do not appear to be adjustable, since (as of now) there isn't any specific software for the mouse. It's possible that specs for the mouse have changed, since two years ago, when the price was several dollars higher. My physical mouse states that it is 2000dpi (as opposed to the listed 3200 dpi) along with being a "Redragon Lite". In other words, I may have received the wrong model mouse (a friend purchased the same mouse, but had the correctly listed specs of 3200 dpi, etc) - but in the grand scheme of things, this has not really been a big deal (?)The lights on the mouse are always turned on, so long as there's power. The only way to turn the lights off is by taking the mouse apart and disconnecting the lights. This should be a very easy process, and basic tutorials can be found online.

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.
