What we like about Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus

  • Excellent value for the price, making it a top budget recommendation
  • Adjustable weight system with eight removable 2.4g weights for personal balance tuning
  • Solid build quality for its price point, often exceeding expectations
  • Comfortable ergonomic design suitable for palm or claw grips
  • Durable braided cable that is tangle-resistant
  • Programmable buttons and customizable RGB lighting via software

What we don't like about Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus

  • High click latency compared to more expensive gaming mice
  • Basic optical sensor that may track poorly during very fast competitive movements
  • Inconsistent software that sometimes fails to detect the device
  • Stiff and thick braided cable can be cumbersome for some users
  • Irregular CPI adjustment steps and a high minimum setting of 500-800 CPI
  • Scroll wheel lacks advanced features like left/right tilt or free-scrolling

Verdict

The Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus is a budget-friendly wired gaming mouse featuring an optical sensor with an adjustable resolution up to 7200 DPI across five levels (800/1200/1600/2400/7200). It is equipped with six programmable buttons, Omron micro switches rated for 20 million clicks, and a dedicated weight tuning set consisting of eight 2.4g removable weights to customise its physical feel. Its main characteristics include dynamic RGB backlighting with 11 lighting effects, a durable 6-foot braided cable with a gold-plated USB connector, and a contoured ergonomic body with a textured finish for enhanced grip. Key pros are its exceptional value for money, robust build quality, and highly customisable weight and button configurations. However, reported cons include high click latency compared to premium models, a relatively stiff cable, and a sensor that may struggle with very fast competitive flick movements.
