Our Verdict
Redragon M602 Griffin RGB Wired
Razer DeathAdder Essential
The Razer DeathAdder Essential and the Redragon M602 Griffin RGB Wired are similar wired gaming mice, but the Razer performs better overall. The Razer is slightly lighter and feels sturdier. It also has a more flexible cable, a much lower minimum lift-off distance, a lower minimum CPI, and lower click latency. You can also adjust the CPI by increments of 100 on the Razer, while the adjustment steps on the Redragon are irregular. On the other hand, the Redragon has a thumb and pinky rest, a slightly higher maximum CPI, and a set of weights you can add to change the weight distribution. It also has onboard memory, which the Razer lacks.
