The Redragon M908 is a good gaming mouse that's especially well-suited for MMOs thanks to its many programmable buttons and excellent overall performance. Its wired latency is also decently low, and most gamers won't notice any delay, even in fast-paced games. This mouse has a rather large, tall, but short body, making it better for a palm or claw grip. Small hands might find it too big to use, while extra large hands will go past the two main click buttons due to its short body. This mouse is a good option for MMO players on a budget that are looking for a wide mouse.

Our Verdict

0.0
Office/Multimedia 

Decent to use at the office. The ergonomics are great for medium and large hands due to its large but rather short shape. It's a well-built mouse that offer plenty of customizable buttons, making work a bit easier and convenient. However, this is a wired mouse with a stiff cable.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Excellent performance; fairly customizable.
  • Plenty of programmable buttons.
Cons
  • Unusual body shape and size; unsuitable for small hands.
  • Rigid cable.
  • Not travel-friendly.

Video Games (FPS) 

Decent for FPS games. While it has a decent click latency, the mouse is rather heavy. On the upside, tts performance is excellent, although you can't customize the CPI settings as precisely as some other gaming mice. However, its cable is annoyingly stiff and this mouse will only be suited for palm or claw grip if you have medium or large hands.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Excellent performance; fairly customizable.
  • Plenty of programmable buttons.
Cons
  • Unusual body shape and size; unsuitable for small hands.
  • Rigid cable.
  • Not travel-friendly.

Video Games (MMO) 

Excellent for MMO games. The side panel offers plenty of reprogrammable buttons to quick cast your abilities. This mouse is also rather bulky and short, which will be better suited for medium and large hands with a claw or palm grip.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Excellent performance; fairly customizable.
  • Plenty of programmable buttons.
Cons
  • Unusual body shape and size; unsuitable for small hands.
  • Rigid cable.
  • Not travel-friendly.

Ultra-Light Gaming 

This mouse is pretty heavy, although you can make it lighter by getting rid of the weight cartridge. However, this mouse shouldn't be considered if you're looking for an ultra-light gaming mouse.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Excellent performance; fairly customizable.
  • Plenty of programmable buttons.
Cons
  • Unusual body shape and size; unsuitable for small hands.
  • Rigid cable.
  • Not travel-friendly.

Travel 

Not suitable for traveling. This mouse is wired-only and its body is rather bulky, making it hard to use in tight spaces like on a plane.

Pros
  • Well-built design.
  • Excellent performance; fairly customizable.
  • Plenty of programmable buttons.
Cons
  • Unusual body shape and size; unsuitable for small hands.
  • Rigid cable.
  • Not travel-friendly.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Redragon M908 is a pretty good option for people who are looking for a budget mouse. It has an oddly large design, which is very comfortable in palm grip, but this won't be great for people with small hands. On the upside, its performance is amazing and is quite customizable. It's better suited for MMO games, but it's important to note that its sensor is off-centered, which can result in odd cursor movements at first. Also see our recommendations for the best mouse for MMOs, the best wired mouse, and the best gaming mouse.

    Redragon M913 Impact Elite

    Track

    The Redragon M913 Impact Elite is a wireless version of the Redragon M908. The M913 connects wirelessly with its USB receiver and has a compartment for storing it when not in use. It also has a wider CPI range, a more consistent sensor, and a lower lift-off distance. On the other hand, the Redragon M908 is a wired-only model with lower click latency. It also has a set of eight 2.5g weights you can add to the mouse, which the M913 Impact Elite lacks. Both mice are well-suited for medium and large-sized hands using a palm or claw grip or extra-large hands using a fingertip grip.

    UtechSmart VENUS

    Track

    The UtechSmart VENUS is a slightly better wired MMO mouse than the Redragon M908. While the two mice look almost identical, the Redragon has a larger thumb rest and a pinky rest. They both weigh the same and feature the same adjustable weight options, and they're both recommended to be used in palm or claw grip by people with medium or large hands. The UtechSmart has a wider and more adjustable CPI range and features one of the most consistent CPIs that we've tested.

    Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus

    Track

    The Redragon M908 and the Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus are comparable wired gaming mice, but the M908 has better performance overall. The M908 has mouse feet that glide more smoothly, a wider CPI range, and lower click latency. It also has a thumb and pinky rest, which the M601 lacks, as well as 12 additional buttons, including ten extra side buttons. On the other hand, the M601 is lighter, and it feels sturdier. It also has a slightly more flexible cable and a more consistent sensor. Both mice are well-suited for medium and large-sized hands using a palm or claw grip, but the M601 is suitable for more hand sizes using a fingertip grip.

    Anker High Precision Gaming Mouse

    Track

    The Anker High Precision Gaming Mouse is slightly different than the Redragon M908. The Redragon has many more side buttons, which is better for MMO games. On the other hand, the Anker mouse has a better feel to it and is noticeably less wide.
