What customers like about Redragon M716 Inquisitor RGB

  • Excellent value for the price, often cited as a top budget gaming option
  • High sensitivity with an adjustable DPI range reaching up to 10,000
  • Highly customizable RGB lighting with multiple modes and 16.8 million colors
  • Solid build quality featuring a reinforced ABS chassis and durable braided cable

What customers don't like about Redragon M716 Inquisitor RGB

  • Software issues reported by some users, including difficult installations or glitches
  • Side buttons can feel 'mushy' or less responsive compared to the main clicks
  • Stock mouse feet are sometimes described as cheap and may benefit from replacement
  • Potential long-term durability concerns with switches, such as double-clicking issues over time
  • Relatively heavy weight (approx. 151g) which might not suit competitive FPS players
  • Lacks advanced physical adjustments like an adjustable weight system

Verdict

The Redragon M716 Inquisitor RGB is a high-performance wired gaming mouse featuring a Pixart 3325 optical sensor with an adjustable resolution reaching up to 10,000 DPI and a polling rate of 1000Hz for rapid responsiveness. Its durable construction includes Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks, seven fully programmable buttons, and 16.8 million color RGB Chroma lighting with seven distinct effects. Main pros include its versatile ambidextrous ergonomic design suitable for palm, claw, or fingertip grips, onboard memory for five user profiles, and smooth-gliding Teflon feet. However, some users may find the 147.2g weight relatively heavy compared to modern ultra-lightweight alternatives, and the specific customization software is primarily optimized for Windows, offering limited functionality for Mac users.
