Why you should save your money, and not buy the Redragon M601 Gaming Mouse.

[cmasterc4]

I've had this mouse for 2 years and this is what I think it feels like,
it is good for having for about a 1-2 month span, but i don't think that you
shouldn't use it for competitive gaming like Overwatch and CS:GO.
(most reviews i've seen have a person just looking at the colors and very unnecessary features of the mouse, the realisation of the mouse being bad is from watching a video from Rocket Jump Ninja which goes in to depth of how the mouse is not good.

Zy's YT video about the Redragon Mouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVtfNSI_I1U

Askew sensor (might be a defect in mine) (IMPORTANT FOR AIM)

Bad sensor quality (happens with everyone) (IMPORTANT FOR AIM)

DPI changer makes the sensor worse (could be a defect)

The side buttons feel like plastic and hard to push in (not a defect)

The cord is terrible, moves when you dont want it to move. (not a defect)

The bottom is bigger than any part of the mouse (not a defect)

the usb is hard to put things with it and is hard to put in the computer usb slot (might be a defect but, the usb size is bigger than any mice i've seen)

lights are placed where my hand is and is annoying (not a defect)

the scroll wheel feels wierd to push down and feels like the the only thing they worked on is the mouse scroll going up and down, it feels nice going up and down but when you push it in it doesnt seem right (not a defect)

the sides of the plastic make my hands feel wierd

the gliding is decent on most mousepads

if your hand size is < 17" then this mouse sucks for structure

you have to tilt your hand to get accurate picks (this goes with the askew sensor problem) (IMPORTANT FOR AIM)

the hole design on the sides make my hand feel uncomfortable

the back panel breaking off (you can put it back on, but i'm saying its annoying)

I have been saving money for the Logitech G403 because it has a wonderful sensor (that i've heard of) and that the size fits my hand.

Just don't buy mice that are $15, a $40 mouse is very much worth your money if you are that serious about competitive gaming.

Hmm, cheap ($15), minor brand, low quality knockoff mouse that lasted over 2 years? It sounds like you actually got a deal there since it lasted more than 6 months.

I got a free Perrix 'gaming' mouse years back (normally $25).

Lasted about a year and the sensor completely quit. As the old saying goes, 'You get what you paid for'.


Stick with Logitech, Steel Series, Corsair, and other well name brands if you want a quality gaming mouse. I have a Logitech G302 now and couldn't be happier since my prior Logitech lasted over 5 years before having cord to board connection issues from use.

I think it goes without saying if you play fast action games like he's showing in that video, you don't cheese out and buy a $15 mouse. Plus the thing might have well lasted 3 years had he not been using it so intensely.

The key things though are $15 and under 100 grams, I mean what do you expect? Clearly most wouldn't expect it to be the Tiger Tank of mice.

well i thought a mouse was a mouse and a computer was a computer in 2015, i didn't know at the time what was good quality.
it made me think that it was expensive by putting a crossed out $60 on it.

Yeah, I've seen the crossed out tactic used a lot of times as well; where the slashed retail price is completely unrealistic. You're not the only one to have fallen for those tactics before.

But yeah, when it comes to computer components, it's usually safer to stick with popular names unless willing to take the chance. A good example is I bought a Rosewill mechanical keyboard for $60 as a risk and it turned out well so far. If it dies, I'll probably replace it with a Ducky or DAS. The Perrix, as I mentioned above, did not do so well so I replaced it with another Logitech.
