Excellent Mouse. Worth every penny.
By Wayne II on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2014
Got this to replace my aging Razer Naga Molten, which had several buttons failing to work consistently after around 15/16 months of use. I have small hands for a guy, which was one of the reasons I went for the Naga, since its one of the smaller MMO style mice out there, but I had to hold my hand a certain way to access all the thumb buttons. The Perdition, although slightly larger, its abit more ergonomic and sweeps in just enough to were I can easily access all of its thumb buttons. At first I did have some trouble getting use to it, mainly cause of the extra weight it has over the Naga Molten, but after taking out all but one of the included weights, it was a little lighter than the Naga and felt more natural to move around after using the lighter Naga for over a year. The thumb buttons and mouse wheel are very clicky, which I love, the way they are tilted makes them much more easy to hit the right button without any conscious effort. The software was the only concern I had about this mouse, because Razer Synapse is lets you do ALOT, but the Redragon software, while not quite as good as Synapse, its much better than I expected. Some people complained that you couldnt rebind the red power button, but I guess they fixed that cause I easily rebound it. The DPI lights on the mousewheel are one of the 2 shortcomings of the mouse/software, you only have a few colors to access, luckily I had the other lights set as red, which is the 5th dpi color setting on the wheel, so I adjusted the DPI for that color to my most used DPI. The second shortcoming is the software doesnt let you bind "other" mouse buttons, eg, Mouse 4 and Mouse 5 buttons, since the mouse itself doesnt have those buttons. I still think they should of put it in the software cause I literally had to change my hotkeys in over 20 games since I used M4 and M5 buttons on my naga in mose of my games. All in all, its a very solid mouse, which is shocking considering its half the price of the competition and is just as good, if not better physically. This is one of those expenditures that is completely worth every dollar you spent on it. --- EDIT: I forgot to add that I ordered this and a HausBell wireless mini keyboard/touchpad. Ive never had a problem with amazon packaging something until now. A 5 year old could of boxed it up better. Both ends of the box were open and had someone decide to take my items. they could of easily done it. When I got the package, I literally shook it up and down once without much force and my items fell out. This wasnt the product makers fault, just amazons as they fulfilled and shipped the order. After ordering hundreds of things from amazon, this hiccup is forgivable since the items werent stolen/damaged miraculously.

Mouse with Potential But Needing More Options For MMOs
By Kevyne Kicklighter on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016
This isn't a bad mouse. It has features found in high end gaming mice, like weights and onboard memory for mouse profiles (instead of horrible Cloud profiles -- profiles need to be used even if the internet is down!). Nice feel to the mouse and fits small hands well -- 12 buttons on the side 9 buttons are reachable comfortably (last 3 takes moving the hand down the mouse to use them, though). Loaded up on Windows fine, Windows recognized it and self-installed the necessary drivers to work plugging it in right out of the box. Comes with 3M adhesive extra glide feet, too ... wonderful! Where the 2 stars are knocked off is due to two serious flaws in the software. 1. One star nixed for literal universal profiles (software doesn't recognize loading up a game to load your game profile. You'll have to manually switch between profiles, which makes it difficult to use this mouse with specific game key binds and switch to checking a website, for example -- remapping "Click" to Q and "Right Click" to E to strafe left to right -- and you forget to remap another key for "Click" -- Hope you can plug 2 mice in to undue that mistake! This software doesn't prevent you from saving a profile with no way to click anything again! Even WoW won't allow a player to save key binds without the essentials remapped). 2. Second star is nixed for the macro options, as it seriously limits the potential of this mouse as a true MMO mouse. This is a 12 button mouse that is usually labelled a "MMO" mouse, but the macro software strictly only maps keystrokes (like in FPS games). You can't type in the macro commands yourself. In games like World of Warcraft (the biggest MMO in the USA) macros have to be typed in manually unless specific software is used for all the modifiers WoW uses. Macros like this used in WoW... #showtooltip Divine Shield /stopcasting /cast Divine Shield Can't be programmed to a key, as it's not a key to bind itself (like the "Q" and "E" keys), but a macro a player would want to be key bound. I can do macro key binds like that with my Zboard keyboard, yet this mouse software doesn't allow manual editing like that. Furthermore, strafing keys like "Q" and "E" if you bind them to the "Click" and "Right Click" WoW doesn't recognize going forward anymore depressing both keys at once. A player is stuck with "Q and "E" and no way to turn around then, and now have to use the keyboard to even turn. If the macro software would allow manual commands to key bind the buttons -- and the scroll button could side scroll for "Q" and "E" -- this mouse would be a true MMO mouse even for WoW. I hope they update the software at least or make a 2.0 of this mouse. ADDED NOTE: Interesting thing discovered while trying to undo the Click remap mistake with using a second mouse. WoW recognizes TWO mice at once (had a old G5 mouse I plugged in to remap the "Click"). The result was fantastic -- free mouse look + 360 movement, just like using a flight controller and having 6 axis movement! I thought WoW would just recognize one mouse, but the game allows two mice running with independent controls. For those with disabilities that mice like the Perdition isn't just a "kewl" thing to have (I had a motor stroke, so one hand doesn't function as well as another), that was MUCH more comfortable than using a keyboard to move with (why I still use the Zboard with it's built in game controller for movement). Left handed mice suddenly becomes interesting now. So for this I'm very, very glad I was forced to use a second mouse to undo the "Click" remap mistake. So personally this mouse and software is a 5/5 mouse for me. I'll keep the review at 3/5 because not everyone plays WoW or has disabilities, and was looking for a MMO mouse not from Razer and Logitech ($70 mice that dies in less than a year for nominal use; or doesn't allow onboard profiles ... propels customers to look for alternatives).
