Redragon Wired RGB Gaming Mouse – M910-K

The Redragon M601 is a mouse for the casual, penny-saving gamer. It has a unique design, is made of sturdy material, and has a decent amount of adjustability, all the while brandishing a price of lower than $15. There are very few alternatives out there that you could find that include all of the features of the M601 at such a low cost.

Design and Comfort
Aside from the cost, the design and comfort of the M601 was the main selling point of the product. The design of the M601 is rather unique in that, instead of having rounded edges all around the mouse, it has pointed edges at the front which gives it the look of a dragon’s claw. This coupled with the glowing Redragon icon at the base of the mouse gives the whole thing a sense of fantasy created around the Redragon name. But the design is used for more than just creating a fantasy around the product. The pointed edges towards the front of the mouse are slightly raised up on the sides which creates an indent in the middle of the mouse buttons where your fingers can rest comfortably. The edges are used as a way to guide your fingers into the middle of the left and right mouse buttons which makes it easy and comfortable for your fingers to rest and click on the middle of the buttons where it is easiest to get a response. Overall, the design of the mouse creates the experience of guiding a dragon’s claw while simultaneously creating a comfortable mouse to rest your hands on.

Durability
After just over six months of continual use, there has been no noticeable degradation in my M601. The M601 is made of very sturdy materials and has a tight constitution meaning that there are no loose parts or buttons flopping around when the mouse gets moved from one place to another. Each click of the mouse is distinct and responsive. The cord is about 6 feet long and braided the whole way.

Performance
The actual performance of the mouse is solid. The changeable DPI button works perfectly with its three adjustable setting. The two side buttons work as intended and the mouse’s optical sensor is very responsive. The only stumble in performance that has been shown is this weird bug where if the computer is ever put to sleep then started back up again, the mouse will not work. The simple solution to this problem is just simply to unplug and plug back in mouse. This bug does not happen if you shut down or restart the computer, it only ever happens when the computer is put to sleep. It is a simple problem with an easy solution.

Overall, this mouse is great for a casual gamer. It gives the perks of high end costing mice, like the adjustable DPI and durable construction, while also holding the cost of a low end mouse. If you are a casual gamer looking for a new, adjustable mouse while also looking to keep your wallet intact, this is the mouse you are looking for.

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.

Mein Sohn nutzt sie für die XBOX. Er spielt mit Maus und Tastatur ein Panzer Spiel. Er hat die Maus jetzt zu Ostern bekommen und ist begeistert. Sie liegt gut in der Hand sagt er und optisch ist sie natürlich auch ein Hingucker. Kann ich empfehlen für den guten Preis.
