RedragonGaming Mouse, Wired Gaming Mouse with RGB Backlit, 8000 DPI Adjustable, Mouse with 9 Programmable Macro Buttons & Fire Button, Software Supports DIY Keybinds, M910-K

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.

The price of this wired mouse is great. The glossy finish is premium feeling and the RGB is subtle yet noticable. It paired well with my white keyboard and allowed me to map various keys to customized functions for productivity and also with light gaming. RedDragon is an exellent entry level addtion to PC peripherals.

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.
