Redragon M612 Predator RGB Gaming Mouse, 8000 DPI Wired Optical Mouse with 11 Programmable Buttons & 5 Backlit Modes, Software Supports DIY Keybinds Rapid Fire Button

The Redragon M612 RGB gaming mouse is a great budget option with a comfortable ergonomic design and plenty of customization. The buttons are responsive, the RGB lighting looks great, and the adjustable DPI settings make it versatile for different tasks. The software allows for easy customization, though it could be a bit more user-friendly. Overall, it’s a solid mouse for gaming and everyday use at a great price!

This has probably been the best gaming mouse I've ever had. The RGB can be changed, it has a braided cable so its wire isn't delicate, the buttons are very sturdy, the wheel isn't flimsy, and it's very comfy. It gets the job done without any sacrifices. It's absolutely perfect for games that are movement heavy, using ASDW, like Warframe. More buttons means more time moving and using my mouse buttons instead. The button placements are great too, especially the little one above the LMB.It's very easy to clean with 70% alcohol wipes, using a toothpick or brush to clean out the thumb rest's ridges. It is VERYMy only gripe is the glue is breaking down for the rubber padding under the mouse and thumb rest after about a year of use. Which is to be expected AFTER TWO YEARS of use, 40+ hours a week, swiping and gripping the heck out of the mouse. However I am a strong guy, so my average gaming leads to quick wear and tear. I break mouses easily. My LMB usually dies within a year, the wheel breaks, or the wire's connection doesn't stay solid. This thing is working just as good as day 1. So even with the gooey glue thing being annoying, it's overshadowed by how great the mouse is itself.

This wasn't a planned purchase, but I needed a mouse to play some PC games with, and I was looking specifically for ones that happened to have a lot of programmable buttons. Enter this mouse. Not only is it very comfortable for someone with large hands like myself, but it looks really nice on top of having great functionality. One of my favorite things about this mouse is the fact that it has a re-chargable battery, meaning that the days of me having to buy batteries for my controller are over. The middle button light will change colors depending on the battery life - green is fully charged, blue is mid-life, and red is dying.Battery life is incredible, with me really only having to charge this thing once a week on average. That said, I also turn off the mouse when it's not in use, which likely extends the life of the battery quite a bit. Wireless connectivity is great, both through bluetooth or the included dongle, and I appreciate the fact that there's a nice space on the inside of the mouse to store the dongle when not in use.All in all, this is an amazing quality mouse for the price, as well as the eight reprogrammable buttons. This is perfect for someone who needs to be able to program hotkeys for specific games and programs, and the assistant program even allows you to create different button profiles that you can load at will.

It's unfortunate that Redragon does not provide a link to the software relevant to this mouse. I had to search it up online and the first software I was taken to was for a different mouse, so it wouldn't connect. I was on the verge initiating a return when a second search finally took me to the correct software. This time the mouse connected without issue. It appears to be functioning correctly thus far, but I will have a better idea of how well it functions after using it for a while.The mouse is lighter weight than what I'm used to (a weighted Logitech G502), though I'm sure I'll adjust to it soon enough. For those looking for a lightweight mouse that is comfortable and easy to hold, this one fits that bill just fine. The design is relatively ergonomic. Despite having small hands, I feel very comfortable with my hand resting on the mouse and the buttons are easier to reach than the Logitech G502. The rubber grip on the thumb-side of the mouse is quite nice and probably very useful for those with sweaty hands. It has a bit more of a tactile feel, which I like.The software for this mouse is very basic and looks dated. There's nothing fancy here - just basic functions for lighting, DPI, button customization and macro programming. The biggest limitation comes from the RGB settings in the app/on the mouse, and I'll get to that in a moment.There are five DPI modes ranging from 500 to 8,000 DPI that can be customized as desired. I did notice that the DPI settings run slower than those on my Logitech mouse so 1,600 DPI on my G502 is about 2,800 DPI on this mouse. That said, I would think a DPI setting of up to 8,000 should be enough for most users. All of the buttons are customizable and macro functionality is included. I plan to program the buttons below the scroll wheel not only for convenience, but to prevent myself from accidentally changing the DPI by mistake. I don't really change my DPI once it's locked in. I prefer to set it, I like to forget it.Coming from a Logitech gaming mouse, the RGB settings are rather underwhelming! There are just five color modes (breathing, wave, 7-color breathing, full lighted (a solid color) and flash. The lighting can also be turned off. Both color brightness and intensity (saturation) are good. I find that white and off white colors look particularly attractive with the white/grey version of this mouse. I set this to a very light bluish-purple and do love how it looks. A dual color mode would have been nice to have and suited the overall aesthetics. This mouse will match the look of my new mechanical keyboard very well when it arrives.Overall, despite the RGB limitations and minimalistic software, this mouse is quite nice. Durability remains to be seen, but for under $20 with a discount, the feature set is quite respectable for the price even if the mouse doesn't last for a long time. TBH, I paid significantly more for each of the Logitech G502's I've purchased and have had ongoing issues with part failures. If this one holds up at least as well at over half the price, I'll be happy.
