Reviews last updated: May 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Redragon M605 Smilodon

  • Extremely affordable price point for entry-level gaming
  • Highly comfortable and unique ergonomic shape that fits many users' hands well
  • Features a dedicated on-the-fly DPI switching button
  • Durable build that can survive long-term heavy use
  • Includes basic RGB lighting for aesthetics
  • Six optimized buttons, including two programmable side buttons

What customers don't like about Redragon M605 Smilodon

  • Limited maximum DPI of 2000, which may be too low for professional or high-sensitivity gaming
  • Heavier than many modern alternatives at approximately 130g
  • Low polling rate of 125Hz compared to higher-end gaming mice
  • Placement of thumb buttons may be too high or awkward for some hand sizes
  • Lack of advanced features like macro support or on-board profile storage
  • The distinctive ergonomic tilt may not be suitable for all grip styles

Verdict

The Redragon M605 Smilodon is a wired optical gaming mouse featuring a right-handed ergonomic design with a contoured body and durable ABS construction. Key specifications include an adjustable resolution up to 2000 DPI (1000/1600/2000), a 125Hz polling rate, 15G maximum acceleration, and a 4000 FPS frame rate. It is equipped with 6 buttons, including 2 programmable side buttons and a dedicated DPI switch, supported by Teflon feet and a 1.5m braided fiber cable. Main pros include its comfortable grip, tactile 70g actuation force, and plug-and-play compatibility with Windows OS. However, its primary cons are the relatively low maximum DPI and polling rate compared to modern high-performance gaming mice, as well as its lack of advanced features like onboard profile switching or adjustable weights.
