What we like about Redragon M801 Sniper

  • Excellent value for the price, often cited as a top budget gaming option
  • Ergonomic and comfortable design, particularly well-suited for larger hands
  • Highly customizable with 9 programmable buttons and 5 onboard memory profiles
  • Vibrant RGB lighting with multiple switchable modes and effects
  • Adjustable weight system allows users to customize the mouse's feel
  • Smooth gliding thanks to high-quality TEFLON feet pads

What we don't like about Redragon M801 Sniper

  • Build quality can feel 'plasticky' or flimsy compared to premium brands
  • Software experience can be frustrating, with reports of difficult-to-find drivers and UI issues
  • Potential long-term durability concerns, such as switch failures after several months
  • The RGB lighting is sometimes described as 'lackluster' or difficult to adjust via software
  • Wireless version (M801P) has reported connectivity issues where the USB receiver is not recognized
  • Considered a bit heavy for fast-paced FPS games compared to modern lightweight alternatives

Verdict

The Redragon M801 Sniper is a high-performance wired gaming mouse featuring a precision sensor that supports up to 12,400 DPI, 30G acceleration, and a 1000Hz polling rate. Key characteristics include 9 programmable buttons—including a dedicated rapid-fire button—5 onboard memory profiles, and customisable RGB backlighting with 8 lighting modes. Its main pros are the ergonomic right-handed design with a frosted, sweat-resistant surface, durable Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks, and an 8-piece weight tuning set (2.4g each) for personalised balance. However, notable cons include its relatively heavy base weight (approx. 161g), software that some users find slow or difficult to navigate, and a lack of horizontal tilt in the scroll wheel.
