I have had this mouse since June 2024 and I absolutely love it. SUPER responsive, works whether or not you open the companion app. I can use my mouse to type in pins. It is the ONLY mouse I can find besides the AATROX by the same company(which is arguably the same thing despite its separate listing on both Amazon and the company website?) that has this set up. My only complaint is that the LEDs can't really be custom colors and only really work with the presets the app shows. It fits really nicely in my hand, the left and right mouse buttons are large so it doesn't take much to click. I LOVE the shelves for my fingers on the side which make it super comfy long term. It's a fairly quiet mouse overall. Scrolls like any other mouse. It's a little on the heavy side but glides smoothly and easily. Overall, really nice mouse and seems like a fair price for it. I will buy this again when the one I have eventually dies unless another brand makes this style in the future

This is very comfortable and works well! It has a very long cord, good ergonomics and the buttons are pretty easy to use. It’s fairly light, quiet and I haven’t had a single problem it yet after a couple years. I’d say definitely worth the money. My only gripe is I don’t know if there’s a way to disable the lighting. I’m not fond of everything being RGB so it does bug me that I can’t disable that feature.

A great mouse for the price. A great laser, plenty of customizable buttons, bright multi-color lighting, and not much to complain about. My one major complaint is a matter of personal preference anyway - I typically use mice with a "claw"-style grip. That isn't really possible with this mouse. It is definitely made for palm-gripping it, with a little extra lateral movement support from your pinkie on the side. It's a comfortable mouse if you're palming it though. The software is quite simple but capable enough. It allows you to export/import profiles, so swapping between them is easy enough. Just click the app in your tray -> click "import" -> select desired profile file -> select "apply" to toggle between them. If there are two you find yourself toggling between often, the dedicated button on the bottom of the mouse allows you to hot-toggle between two profiles. Just apply a profile via the software, hit the button on the bottom of the mouse, and then apply a 2nd, and then the button will toggle between these two freely. Of course, you're able to rebind all of the buttons on the mouse (except the profile switch on the bottom) to whatever you'd like. Keyboard keys, media keys, macros, DPI toggles, etc. The RGB implementation is great, has a few animations to pick from, and can get quite bright if you max it out (though I like to leave it all off). Its lighting is controlled by the application, but the scroll wheel's lighting is dependent upon the *DPI profile* color under the "Advanced" tab, ***not*** the settings on the "Lighting" panel which govern all of the rest of the mouse's lighting. You can set up to 5 DPI levels to toggle between here, and if you click the colored square next to each of these DPI setting lines, you're able to set the color of that particular line, and this actually governs your scroll wheel's lighting color. This allows you to disable the scroll wheel's light entirely, which I'm sure saves a bit of battery life. The battery seems to last long enough that I only need to plug it in to charge once every few weeks, using it for 5+ hours/day with a 1,000hz (high) polling rate while *not* in eco-mode via the switch at the bottom of the mouse. So I really can't complain there. A minor complaint about the software - I've tried to set the application to open on boot, but the mouse is often asleep when booting, so it fails to detect the mouse when the PC boots up (if you haven't yet clicked to wake the mouse), which closes the application automatically because no mouse is detected. It seems to keep resetting the polling rate to 125hz on occasion as well. Minor complaints though. There is no horizontal/sideways scrollwheel action btw. That being said, 6 months out, I vigorously mash that MMB on the regular and it isn't flaky yet, as is common with competitors in this space. *EDIT ADDITION 2024/09* When the mouse is woken from the sleep state with a click, it will occasionally (~10% of the time) register as either a keyboard key being held down, or keys rapidly firing. Turning the device off entirely via the switch on the bottom and then turning it back on fixes this. This is a somewhat significant issue. I've been lucky that it hasn't caused any irrevocable issues by interacting with my browser yet. -1 star for this alone -- I don't know whether it's a hardware or software-remediable issue, but I'll add the last star back on if/when an update is available to fix this issue. *EDIT ADDITION 2024/11* When pressing any of the buttons which are bound to things (other than the usual LMB, RMB, and scrollwheel), it will occasionally register the button as either held down, or will otherwise spam the result roughly 20x/sec until fixed. Fixed by pressing the relevant button/s again or turning the mouse off/on again. Very annoying. Still an overall great mouse for the price though.

I want to clarify some points that others reviewers have made. 1. Software does not come in the box, however, there IS an instructions sheet with the website address to download the free configuration software. 2. Windows Defender does not recognize the Redragon software, so you have to approve the installation and use... This does NOT mean it is a virus. 3. Every button on the mouse IS MOST CERTAINLY assignable. However, you have to "record" the new button (or combination of buttons), then assign the new macro (that's what a button recording is called), then apply the new setting. This is all done in the free software. 4. Redragon makes many peripheral devices, and EACH device has a unique download for the software. Make sure the download matches the device you have! Or it won't work. 5. If the software is too confusing for you, there IS IN FACT videos on YouTube that will walk you through the process. 6. If the mouse cursor feels "choppy", raise the polling rate in the software. It can be adjusted from 125-1000 mhz. The higher the rate, the smoother the cursor will respond. 7. The "mode" button on the bottom of the mouse switches between 2 "profiles" that you can create in the software. Every time you press it, it switches between the profiles. However, there is no indication of which profile is selected unless you open the software and look at the settings you have adjusted. 8. The mouse comes with a 2.4ghz wireless "USB dongle". This dongle has to be inserted in a working USB slot on your computer in order for the mouse to work wirelessly. 9. Size is subjective. Everyone's hand is different. This mouse may be too big, or too small for your hand. That's life. Overall: I feel that these mouses are the best "bang for the buck" there is. They have features and quality that match brands that cost 2-4 times as much. Yes, the software is a bit utilitarian, but it is fully featured. If this particular mouse does not fit your hand, than try a different model. They makes many mouses of many different sizes. You won't find a better mouse at this price point.

Don't buy this mouse unless you have a degree in computer engineering. I know a lot of people gave it a really good review. But that's only because they somehow already knew how the software works and was able to get some use out of it. For those of us like myself who are new to using more complex mice with many buttons, forget it. Apparently Redragon would rather keep how to use these profile software programs a big secret. First of all, the software itself is not intuitive at all. You will NOT figure out how to use it simply by looking at the buttons and menu options. In fact, some things seem like they would be obvious. But they're not. Things won't work like you THINK they're going to work. Like, for instance, I never did figure out how to do something as idiot-simple as binding a single key to a mouse button. That SHOULD be intuitive and easy to figure out. But it's not -- and you'll just drive yourself crazy wondering why it isn't working when clearly it should. What's worse is that there are no manuals or help docs anywhere. Not online, not in print. There's not even a pdf file one can download or even look at. You are on your own. I know what you might be thinking: "Oh, I'll just look on the internet. No doubt someone posted a tutorial ... right?" Not really no. The ONLY two things "help" videos tell you how to do are messing with lighting effects and macros. There are a dozen videos about how to make macros -- which in itself is stupidly complicated -- but there are NOTHING on the internet that explains how to do something simple. Like bind a single key to one of the side buttons. There is nothing. And if you do a search on the problem, all you'll find are forum posts with other people complaining about the problem. But there are no solutions. The big issue people seem to have is that ... let's say you want to bind the "E" key to Side Button 1. The default key for Side Button 1 is the number 1. So, intuitively, you would think that you could select Side Button 1, go to the dropdown menu, select "Advance" and then "Single Key." Then tap the "E" key and the letter "E" replaces the number 1 in the box below the menu. Then you click "Apply" and wow --- done! So then you decide to assign the "F" key to Side Button 2. You repeat the same process as before and then, again, click "Apply." But when you click on Side Button 1 -- guess what. That button reset itself so that, once again, the number 1 is assigned to Side Button 1. Somehow, the letter "E" has disappeared entirely. When you go back to Side Button 2 -- yep, same thing. Now Side Button 2 is now assigned the number 2 and the letter "F" has disappeared. You can assign buttons the keys you want all the live long day, but the moment you click a different button, the last button you changed will reset back to default. There is NO way to do something as simple as assigning a single key to a button. And as I said, there are no tutorials or videos or docs that explain this. The help video uploaders are all in love with their macros and none of them have bothered to give a tutorial on the basics. So unless you already know what you're doing -- don't bother with this mouse. The unintuitive software and the complete lack of instructions make this a lousy buy for anyone who isn't already well-versed in how to set up profiles. Oh yeah -- one thing, too, is that you'll get all kinds of mystifying pop-ups like, for instance, if you try to change profiles, a pop-up will appear saying, "This profile is already in use!" Yeah. No idea. No idea whatsoever. So unless you want to spend $40 on a three-button mouse, skip this. I guarantee you will not get it to work unless you already know what you're doing. Oh, and did I mention that it crashes? Yeah -- it does that, too. After engaging in the futile act of trying to assign a single key to a mouse button, it will eventually simply crassh -- and the screen will disappear. So apparently it's not even a stable piece of unintuitive garbage.

A pretty solid mouse. I don't daily drive it for one reason though. The thumb buttons are set back just enough from the side of the mouse that they are uncomfortable to use, and I have to make a lot of effort (at least for thumb buttons) to hit them. IF they buttons stuck out a bit more, they would be a LOT easier to use. I was using a Corsair Ironclaw before I got this mouse, and ultimately, since my old Ironclaw died, I bought this, but bought another Ironclaw because the thumb buttons are that annoying to use. The button pad works great tho, though the overall shape/fit is interesting, and might take you some getting used to.

The Red dragon app you'll use to configure the mouse is a little wonky but this is a high quality mouse and very good at setting shortcuts on the number pad for the thumb. It's very comfortable very stylish and you can adjust your speed on the cursor. Great for copy and paste applications and quick access to certain apps or keyboard shortcuts.

Let me explain. So I took it upon myself to find a replacement mouse for my old mouse keyboard dongle team. As one might expect, the dongle broke turning the two mechanical wonders into paperweights. I searched, and this brand had a large variety. THIS seemed to be the absolute best of all worlds. Mouse speed and Color change, Check. Ergonomic, check. Programmable buttons, check. Wired functionality, check. Bluetooth, check, except wait, only with a dongle. MAN I was heated. I thought it had a dongle as an OPTION but had its own ability to connect. NOPE. But, despite its one "flaw" I fell in LOVE with this mouse. Now I don't even care that it isn't "Bluetooth" I have the dongle in my PS5 for FFXIV and every other instance I have it plugged in doing work. ZERO diff. Now due to the initial limited USB slots on my Laptop for a minute I was pressed with trying to juggle all the slots but now there's no problem. Recommended it to my coworker and he got one too! This is a durable, reliable, and brilliant product, ESPECIALLY for the price point. You seriously won't be disappointed. Unless, again you only need a bluetooth mouse without any dongle action. Then unfortunately this probably wouldn't be the mouse for you. For literally anything else, this is the bees knees!
