Our Verdict
Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus
Razer Viper 8KHz
The Razer Viper 8KHz is a better wired gaming mouse than the Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus. The Razer is lighter, it has a cable that's more flexible, and it has mouse feet that glide more smoothly. It also has a much wider CPI range, a CPI you can adjust precisely by increments of 50, a much lower click latency, a lower lift-off distance, and a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. It also has two additional side buttons on the right side, and you can set a HyperShift button to enable a secondary layer of controls. On the other hand, the Redragon has a set of added weights for adjusting the weight distribution, which the Razer lacks.
