The Redragon M913 Impact Elite is an excellent wireless MMO gaming mouse. It feels well built and has a right-handed shape with a 12-button panel and a thumb, ring, and pinky rest. You can connect it wired with its cable or wirelessly with its USB receiver. It has a wide CPI range, a CPI you can adjust by increments of 100, and a very low lift-off distance. You can also change sensor, lighting, and button mapping and set five CPI settings and two profiles using the companion software. Unfortunately, the software is only compatible with Windows. It's a very heavy mouse, has high click latency, and while it doesn't suffer from much CPI variation, the sensor is inaccurate and undershoots the set CPI considerably during fast and slow cursor movements.
Our Verdict

It feels well-built and has a comfortable, right-handed shape well suited for medium and large-sized hands using palm or claw grip. You can connect it either wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Bluetooth, and the customization software is only compatible with Windows.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Redragon M913 Impact Elite is an excellent wireless MMO gaming mouse. It has a full 12-button side panel, which we've come to expect of dedicated MMO gaming mice. It also has a few extra features that are rarely seen even on more premium models, including a USB-C charging cable, CPI indicator lighting, and thumb, ring, and pinky finger rests. This mouse is a great choice f you're looking for a budget wireless MMO option. However, its somewhat unusual shape and size make it unsuitable for certain hand sizes and grip types, and it has high click latency.

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.
The Logitech G600 MMO Gaming and the Redragon M913 Impact Elite are excellent MMO gaming mice. The Logitech is a wired-only model that feels sturdier. It has a more precisely adjustable CPI, a much lower click latency, and customization software compatible with Windows and macOS. You can also set a G-shift button to enable a secondary layer of commands. Comparatively, the Redragon connects wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver, and it has a wider CPI range. It also has a thumb, ring, and pinky rest, which the Logitech lacks. Unfortunately, its software is only compatible with Windows, though it does have onboard memory.
The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a good wireless mouse for many uses, while the Redragon M913 Impact Elite is an excellent mouse for MMO gaming. The Logitech is much lighter and has an ambidextrous, egg-shaped body with two side buttons on the left. It connects wirelessly with its USB receiver. It also has a more precisely adjustable CPI, much lower click latency, and software compatible with Windows and macOS. Comparatively, the Redragon has a right-handed shape with a thumb, pinky, and ring finger rest. It connects either wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver and has a 12-button side panel.
The Redragon M913 Impact Elite is a very similar wireless gaming mouse compared to the UtechSmart VENUS Pro. Both mice are nearly the same size and visually very similar, but the Redragon is wider and has a pinky rest. It also has better wireless click latency. However, its click latency is still very high for a gaming mouse. Additionally, it has software that allows you to configure more than one profile, a feature the UtechSmart lacks. Both mice are well-suited for medium or large-sized hands using palm or claw grip or extra-large hands using a fingertip grip.
