    Historically I always lost my finger placement with these types of mmorpg mice. But the indentation is a nice touch.

    This mouse looks like it repeats the same design flaw as the Logitech G600 which is the DPI and profile switch buttons are right below the mouse wheel. These are very easy to accidentally bump with your hand during play and the results can be pretty catastrophic depending on the situation.

    The 12 programmable thumb keys are a must have for me. I've been using that style of mouse for years. However there's not a big differentiator here between these mice and the G600 I already have.

    Well the g600 is/was 60 or 70$ and this one is 25-30$,

    I can personally vouch for Redragon stuff. I just wish the mice had the G600's G-Shift function.

    Exactly, so why would I dump the $70 mouse I already own to pick this one up? That's my point. I'm not going to spend more money to get the same functionality I already have. If you don't already have a G600 style mouse and want one, this would be a good choice.

    Those mice look like something from 15 years ago. I had a G600 years ago, later I realized I only need 2 side buttons for any game I play.

    I used to use Red Dragon mice until my arthritis and carpel got worse. I have given up normal mice. I use a vertical mouse and controller now for games. This type of mice where you use your thumb to click a lot of buttons is very good until your thumb begins having issues. It will begin to have issues because you should never overuse any digit. It will ultimately lead to problems.

    However this mouse is very good for what it does and it even is one better than the Logitech one because it has one more button next to the left mouse button you can customize for dodge or any button you want to keep away from the other 12 buttons. You can see it in the image above.

    Do your poor hands a favour and stop using these types of mice. I too was very happy with them until the incruciating pain in my thumb made me stop.

    so i have a red dragon keyboard thats wireless to play from my couch. It has held up for three years and has all the macros like a an old g7 its bad ass. To be honest i like it more then my expensive razer keyboard, and you don't have to use the darn synapse take over your pc software. For the price the quality is surprisingly good they even sent 6 or 8 extra switches in the box. I have never had to use them though.

    I have had a couple and they are decent mice for the price however they lack that "premium" feel some of the brands have like the g600/corsair scimitar/razer naga.

    My wife has one she uses for work and it fine and has lasted a long time as of now but I didn't like it too much for gaming and by far prefer my scimitar elite rgb mouse especially in fps type scenarios. Enough so that even though my scimitar is a few year old and the scroll wheel crapped out I bought a pack of 10 ALPS jap encoders and soldered a new on in.


    This was one of the base models though so these one might be better/feel better for gaming since its a naga/g600 clone.

    Anyways my point is they are pretty much at the top of low budget cheap mice. I have never tried their keyboards though.

    I have some arthritis/arthrose in my hands and while its under control for peeps like us it is very important to get mice that are the proper size. For example the razer naga was too small for me and gave my hand cramps/pain, the g600 was better and the scimitar is pretty spot on.

    Believe it or not I don't like the indentation. I prefer the original Razer naga mouse. So, I got frustrated with these "indented" mice and bought off ebay what was advertised as a classic razer naga mouse. I then realized it was also indented and looking up the original mouse the buttons were convex over concave.

    At this point I can't use a regular mouse and can only play games with the 12 buttons on the side.
