Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Redragon M652 Optical

  • Excellent value for money and affordability for a wireless mouse
  • Ergonomic design that is comfortable for long hours and fits larger hands well
  • Effective energy-saving features, including an 8-minute auto-sleep mode and 'Eco' mode (disables LEDs)
  • Plug-and-play functionality with no additional drivers required
  • Durable build quality for the price point, with some users reporting over two years of use
  • Convenient on-board storage for the USB Nano receiver

What customers don't like about Redragon M652 Optical

  • Underperforms in fast-paced gaming; reports of input lag and sensor 'spin out' during rapid movements
  • Low maximum polling rate (250Hz) compared to dedicated high-end gaming mice
  • Lack of a DPI indicator makes it difficult to know which of the 5 levels is currently active
  • Uses a single AA battery rather than being rechargeable
  • Noticeable 'plasticky' or cheap feel to the materials according to some users
  • Sensor has a limited maximum DPI of 2400, which may be too low for high-resolution setups

Verdict

The Redragon M652 is a 2.4GHz wireless optical gaming mouse featuring a contoured ergonomic design and five adjustable DPI levels (800, 1200, 1600, 2000, and 2400) for versatile tracking sensitivity. It is equipped with six buttons, including two side buttons for web navigation and a dedicated DPI switch, alongside two polling rate options (125Hz and 250Hz) to balance responsiveness and power consumption. Key pros include its plug-and-play functionality with a storable nano receiver, a power-saving 'Eco' mode that disables the red LED backlight to extend the life of its single AA battery, and a durable build tested for up to 5 million keystrokes. However, notable cons include its lack of programmable software, a relatively low maximum DPI for high-end competitive gaming, and the side 'Back/Forward' buttons being incompatible with Mac OS.
