Verdict

The Redragon M917 ST4R Pro is an ultra-lightweight gaming mouse (approx. 61–63g) featuring a high-end PixArt PAW3395 optical sensor with a maximum sensitivity of 26,000 DPI, 650 IPS tracking speed, and 50G acceleration. It offers tri-mode connectivity (2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C) and is equipped with durable Huano switches rated for 20 million clicks alongside five to six programmable buttons and onboard memory. Main pros include its exceptional sensor precision, versatile wireless options, and a long-lasting 400mAh battery providing up to 80–100 hours of use. However, some users have noted cons such as a basic software interface, a relatively high lift-off distance (LOD), and stock PTFE feet that are quite thin.
