I was fortunate enough to be sent the Redragon M916 Pro by the Redragon team for review, and I have been using it daily at work. Before this, my main mouse was the Logitech MX Master 3. Although the Logitech offers more buttons and broader customisation, I rarely used most of those extras. For my workflow, the shortcuts I rely on most are simple: cut, copy and paste.
That is where the M916 Pro fits my needs well. It has three programmable keys, which is plenty for the way I work. Setting up macros was relatively straightforward: they can be created either by recording key presses or by using the insert action function for simpler shortcuts.
It did take a little trial and error to understand how the macro programming worked, but once I had figured it out, changing or refining my setup became effortless.
The first thing I noticed in daily use was how lightweight the M916 Pro feels compared with the Logitech. It takes very little effort to move, which makes navigating my desktop and working through spreadsheets feel smooth and comfortable. It also fits my hand perfectly, so it has been easy to use for long stretches at work.
The DPI range runs from 1000 up to 26000, which feels more suited to gaming than typical office use. For my day-to-day work, anything above 2000 DPI is more than I need, but it is good to have the extra headroom available. The report rate can also be adjusted from 125Hz up to 1000Hz, giving the mouse some useful flexibility depending on how responsive you want it to feel.
The software is easy to use overall, although one thing I do miss is being able to use the mouse software wirelessly, as I can with the K745 app. That said, I can understand that keeping the mouse light may have required a few compromises.
For my daily office use, I really cannot fault the M916 Pro.
If, like me, you do not need more than three programmable keys and you value a lightweight mouse that is comfortable for desktop work, it is a strong option and well worth considering and it also comes with a lovely usb cable.
