Redragon M908 Impact RGB LED MMO Mouse with Side Buttons Optical Wired Gaming Mouse with 12,400DPI, High Precision, 20 Programmable Mouse Buttons

My G600 didn’t go through a cycle of being great and then going to crap as most of Logitech’s products do nowadays (used to be a time when Logitech was simply the best), mostly due to their software and short life. I went into detail as to how it went screwy on me in my review of the G600 if you’re interested, this review is about the M908, broken down in sections of interest. Software: I’ll start here, due to my own experiences with Logitech’s and also due to some negative claims against Red Dragon’s suite. First off, it’s not shady, just download it from Red Dragon’s USA site and install. I included a set of pictures of it’s interface and I can assure you, it’s rock solid, intuitive in it’s use, and has a very light presence. While there are some that will point out it has only 5 profiles to assign, as someone who plays a fair variety of games i can tell you that having a ton of different profiles is not a benefit. I use the same base key assignment regardless of game, it’s within the game that I assign specific functions, and it’s macro maker is versatile and reliable. Build: If you look at the pictures on the listing you’ll note the mouse has two flanges on both sides that add a width to the base of the mouse. This is a bit of a mixed bag which will take some explaining. The right one gives a very comfortable and intuitive place for your pinky to rest, with the groove for your third finger above it lets your finger snuggle right on in. I like the right flange just fine and have no complaints with it, it’s the one on the left where your thumb rests that costs the M908 a star. The left flange does provide a comfortable place for my thumb to rest, but it comes at a cost. The flange is fine for the first 6 side buttons, but on the 2nd set of 6 it interfered with my ability to access the bottom two rear buttons (# 7 & 10). I couldn’t depress those buttons without really tucking my thumb down into the flange so that I can I can click them. The design would benefit from lowering the curve of the flange’s groove some, or perhaps raising the mouse’s profile by 1/2 cm from the base, either way that’s the M908’s only failing IMO. That said, over time I taught myself to use my thumb differently than what my owning the G600 had imprinted on me, and came to grips with the M908’s form. The wheel and top buttons are nothing special, but they do feel pretty solid, though buttons 5 and 6 do ride further back on the top than what I’m used to. I wound up assigning the least used functions to those. Button 4, which is small and sits next to the left mouse button is a great little feature that I didn’t know I wanted till I started using it, it’s like having a 2nd, unobtrusive left mouse button and is VERY strategically placed for speedy and easy access. The panel of side buttons are smooth, angled inwards to create two channels for your thumb to easily slip into and after a bit of practice, you’ll readily find which one you want to use. They’re typical in size for a MMO mouse, so if you found other MMO mice side buttons too small you will have the same problem with the M908, but if you’re comfortable with such default sizes, you’ll feel right at home. The buttons have a smooth texture and decent feel behind them when you depress them, but here while they’re very durable, they could stand to be a little more ‘clicky’. Again, comparing it to my G600, i will say I prefer the G600’s button response for it’s “sharper” feedback. Weight: The unit comes with a small set of weights already placed within the chassis, I left them inside though they are easy to remove and you can lighten the mouse a little bit if needed. Size & Fit: I’m 6′ and have slightly larger than normal hands for my frame, but I never had any problems with standard mouse sizes being uncomfortable. My sister who is 5’4″ and has a delicate set of hands (at least compared to my meathooks) said it felt comfortable, though she’d prefer to lighten it a bit. We both use a palm grip however, so I can’t say how a claw user would feel towards it. Glide & Sensor: The M908’s sensor is solid, I tested it on a variety of surfaces, including newspaper and it tracks the motion without any problems. You’ll have to tinker with the settings in the software to get the settings you like, I found the defaults for acceleration a little slow for my tastes. Value: I’ve never been shy about spending money on a component, I look for quality and reliability, but I can’t tell you how many times the higher price didn’t deliver the expected quality. With the M908, you get a great value for the money, way better than you do with a Razer or Logitech. I’ve owned several from both lines and have repeatedly regretted the purchase, usually within a couple of months, you know just enough that you can’t just return it. I’ve owned the M908 for 8 months before writing this review and am still very happy with my purchase. Granted, it could benefit from a couple of improvements in it’s design, but for what you’re spending you get a awful lot of function and reliability.

The product itself is excellent. I am really loving it. Ive programmed a few things and let me say, as a Dj, this is SO useful. SO MANY THINGS you can do with this mouse with that side panel. The software however is a different story. Extremely slow and a bit buggy at times. Ive had some settings magically change even after saving them but that only happened twice in about 4 months. Overall, it works just fine . The quality of the cord, i absolutely love. The lights are bright and there are multiple modes to chose from. You get more than what you pay for honestly. I really would like a software upgrade , its really the only thing i can say i dont like about it.Read more

I’ve had it for about a month now (bought it to play FFXIV) and it works as intended. All the buttons are responsive and the driver for changing LEDs + button setup is serviceable. The only gripes I have with this mouse is that it’s slightly too big for my hands and it’s lighter than I thought even with the mouse weights they have in already. Got used to it within a week though and It’s fine now. Also the LEDs are kind of weak and it’s not very vibrant on the side buttons. Overall it’s a slightly cheaper option for an MMO mouse and is ok for the price.Read more

Received this mouse today and it felt a little uncomfortable at the start but after about a hour of using it I found I didn’t notice it. I like the 12 buttons on the side of the mouse. Buttons 1 to 3 and 4 to 6 are angled towards each other making it very easy to find them with out looking, button 7 to 12 are the same just a little hard to reach with out siding your hand back a little on the mouse. One thing (not big) is the oil off your hand is very noticeable on the top section. On first getting it out of the box it felt very heavy with all the weights in but after using it and finding it slides very easily on my mouse pad and the weight seemed to stabilise it very well.Read more

I have used the M913 a dozen times so far. The software was easy to use and configure although pretty basic. There are several lighting options for the mouse if rgb is your thing but nothing to crazy. The mouse feels OK for medium to large size hands my hands are a medium. I think for smaller hands it would probably feel more difficult to hold. Side buttons were a little stiff on my mouse but work well. The battery life I’m actually dissatisfied with I really think up to 2 hour battery isn’t the best way to go if you want to use the mouse wirelessly. If this means plugging on the USB cord all the time in order to use it over a long gaming session then it doesn’t fit the bill does it? You might as well just buy the wired version of this mouse as I should probably have done in the first place. Value for money? It is yes if you want some of the gimmicks of a wireless mouse on a budget. Just don’t expect to do long gaming sessions with it on wireless.Read more

A well built mouse that works as good as any of this kind. The real bonus is the wireless operation, but that also means you can replace the lead with any USB one of the right type. Note it is not the smallest mouse going and for some it may be too big. Although intended for gaming these mice can be useful in business too, for putting numbers in spreadsheets or for telephones. They can also be used to input special commands too, if you use the app and set it up to do so.Read more

i got this product at the start of the year as an upgrade to a different model i used, i used this mouse for playing on wow, swtor and ffxiv, the mouse feels great in the hand and the side buttons feel comfortable to use with the thumb, all keys except the fire button seem to be rebindable, after 6 months of fairly constant use one of the side buttons started to malfunction, i contacted support for repairs and a replacement was sent in the mail asap. i thought that this mouses value was the best thing about it since its half the cost of other similar gamer branded products but the customer support is why i find Red Dragon products better than the rest. i have recommended this and the previous mouse i owned from this company to several gamer friends and they have all agreed with me that its well worth the price.Read more
