Redragon Wired Gaming Mouse, RGB Backlit Ergonomic Gamer Mouse Up to 8000 DPI, 11 Programmable Buttons & 7 Backlit Modes, Extra Sniper Button, Mouse Gamer for Windows PC Gamers, M614

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 bought this in 2017. It is now 2020. I am still using it. It still works as well as the day I got it.Left button still clicks. Right button still clicks. Scroll wheel still scrolls. Side buttons still work. Except in some situations, namely certain games that I'm pretty sure don't accept extra mouse button inputs anyway. For example, in Deus Ex Human Revolution, Bioshock, and Starcraft 2 they don't work, but in Fallout: New Vegas, Metro 2033, and Dota 2 they work perfectly. Seems more a problem with the games themselves than with the mouse. Regardless, their primary function, to go forward and backward on most web pages, still works fine. I use it regularly- Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, even gaming apps like Steam, Origin, Battlenet, and Gog- it's a great unexpected utility. It's easy not to click them if you don't want to unless you have fat thumbs or a lack of muscle control; luckily I have neither but YMMV. It's a hardy piece of hardware. In the games I mentioned above, you need to do a lot of clicking. A lot. Honestly I've clicked it so many times that sometimes my fingers get tired (especially in RTS/Moba which take a LOT of clicking) but the mouse still clicks. It's been three years, I must have clicked hundreds of thousands of times if not millions, and it Still. Keeps. Clicking. Granted I keep it clean and pristine and don't let it get gummed up with cheeto dust or bbq seasoning but it should go without saying that you take care of your electronics or they don't work as well later.The weight and the DPI adjustments are functional, I just don't use them. I removed the weights because they bothered me bu hey they're removable so no harm no foul. Some certain games with messed up mouse acceleration or weird sensitivity input (looking at you, Dead Space) do require a DPI adjustment. There's only 3 tiers which is meh but it's better than none or having 3 million tiers. The lasers are incredibly functional on a variety of surfaces and the material is smooth enough that many surfaces can be used well. Mattress, mousepad, desk, a pair of jeans, I'm honestly shocked how well it works on different materials. The cord has frayed slightly over the years but that's mostly because in my setup, the cord wraps around my external speakers to plug into my computer, and it seems to have only frayed where it rubs up against the speaker. Even then, only a few strands pop out, and the cord itself is still in great condition. The black and red color palette is inoffensive and helps to see where it is in the dark. And the design overall is pretty sleek and cool. My hand is perfectly sized for the hardware so if your hand is the size of my hand (I have hands of fairly average size) you won't have an issue. I can't speak on battery life because it has a cable.Essentially this is baby's first gaming mouse. It's pretty much right in the middle between a practical one typically used for web browsing etc, and a pure gaming one which, well, is used primarily for playing video games. It's enough that I can use it for both activities without encountering any problems. I have to use it in the correct USB slot or I'll encounter problems, but that shouldn't come as a shock to anybody who knows basic electronics. I trust Redragon brand enough that when I buy a keyboard and replacement mouse (if this one ever breaks) it'll be them. Thanks for three years of a good mouse Redragon; here's to three more.
