Love it. The grip is good

Spent some time doing research on mice; i'd used an ET. mouse before, the Piktek T7 that had some notoriety a while back, but the wheel started dying so i went for another one, wanting a couple extra buttons and better ergonomics. Felt a little odd at first but comfortable. Only complaint is i'd prefer the primary button presses to require a little less force to click.

EDIT after six months' use: I got used to the size pretty well, but I still feel as though I'm not holding it "right". The two ledges on the right aren't where I naturally position my pinkie/ring fingers, but it works out well enough and it's plenty comfortable. The side and top-left button are still awkward to get to, but they're fine if you just map a macro to them to hit occasionally. Within a couple of months it developed quite a squeak on the right mouse button, which did not go away. I finally decided to open it up and see if I can fix the noise, so in order to prevent excess damage to the friction pads I used a heat gun on them to lift them more easily, which seems to have worked well. They are very nonstandard shapes/sizes so damaging them would be pretty catastrophic, and makes repairability questionable. Hidden under the pads are five screws in two different sizes. --- EDIT 2: 1.5 years in, the right button kind of half-failed and there's this plastic click before the actual button clicks. I can just loosely tap on the right side of the mouse and it makes quite a racket. --- Inside are blue Huano switches for the main left/right mouse buttons, red Huano switches for the three arrow-shaped buttons, generic microswitches for the side and middle click buttons, and an even tinier switch marked "himake" for the top-left button. Taking it apart further ended up being quite troublesome and it didn't go without damaging a few delicate plastic bits, but in the end I was able to grease any moving/sliding parts between plastics for the buttons and the squeak has gone away. For now. Regardless, I don't consider it a fix that most people could or even should be bothered to attempt. The RGB is achieved via a single LED that can be chopped out if you realy want it gone, for good, forever, but even I who am quite critical of annoying lights found it to be perfectly fine when set to dim levels. So while my concerns regarding comfort and fitment were mostly alleviated over time, it didn't end up gaining any points thanks to the squeaky button and how difficult it was to remedy. Original review below: Unfortunately, the mouse seems not to fit my hand very well. It's larger than my previous one, yet despite having very large hands (23cm span), it is a poor fit. The shape does not lend well to claw grip for me, and it is still too small for palm gripping. The main issue is that the sides are too curved inward, so I have to grip harder to maintain a decent grip, causing strain. I'll see if I can get used to it though or if it's a deal breaker in longer-term use, but as shape is extremely subjective I can't really mark points down. Furthermore this means that all of the "special" buttons are pretty much uselessly positioned, as the sniper button is too far forward when I'm using a claw grip (as clawing the very front is rather uncomfortable for my wrist). The biggest plus for me honestly is that the software for customising buttons and RGB is a mere 2MB download. No 250MB+ software just for RGB and DPI sliders like some companies do. When installed and running, there's a popup onscreen when you change DPI to show what it's changed to, although I don't think it was working when I was in a fullscreen game (the popup, that is -- DPI was changing fine, as denoted by the LEDs showing which setting it was in). When first plugged in the mouse was showing off the typical RGB vomit which I quickly turned off. If you like garish garbage then this can certainly deliver. Instead I opted for a solid, very dim blue which is barely visible in a dark room. As far as I can tell you can't customise any of the "effects" very well, as they all just scroll through the rainbow at high intensity, so a single solid colour is your best bet to reduce eye strain. Construction is middling. Feels okay in the hand, build quality wise, but any bump (like lifting and setting it back down in use) causes something inside to reverberate like it isn't fastened down properly. If you are like me and just tilt the mouse up to lift it, the relatively "sharp" edges of the bottom will make it feel scratch rather than smooth. This is probably more an issue with my being used to a different mouse, and would adapt over time. Perhaps the plastic will wear instead. The main buttons themselves are okay. They're certainly clicky -- many times louder than my previous mouse, but also fresh. Hopefully they'll quieten down with use (edit: they did a small amount). The other buttons are not nearly so egregious on this front, but they're rather cheap feeling. The plastic on them has a lot of movement, adding to vibrations and cheapening feel. The scroll wheel is a bit far to the right for me, as I'm clicking awkwardly on the leftmost side of it, but this is probably a personal fit thing again. The scrolling itself has decent detents, not too stiff, but it's rather noisy. Sort of reminds me of late 90s mouse wheels where there's a higher frequency component that dominates the noise (edit: this did not improve over time). The sheer range of DPI settings is very nice, although I can't see myself utilising a very large portion of it. I'm more of a "set it and forget it" sort, and so far I've not found any use above 3000, despite not being the sort to move my hand very much in use, as I claw grip and just use my fingers to perform all movements, bad for my wrist though that may be. Overall I'm not satisfied, but the subjectivity level is too high for me to rate it any lower given the issues that I face. I'll likely keep looking for a proper mouse fit, likely one that is lighter and has far less concavity on its sides, as that seems to be aggravating my hand. (edit: low durability knocked it down from 4 to 3 to 2 stars over time)

Seems that RedDragon have these mice manufactured by Eastern Times company which I've purchased their mice under different branding in the past and the quality is typically great. The M614 model is very wide and has pinky support on the right side of the mouse which I don't really like. I much prefer my pinky to hug the mouse and get a sense of the surface below. After just a few minutes of using the mouse I could already feel a strain on the muscles on my hand. Overall a good large mouse, easy to use, but the ergonomics and comfort were not there for me. DPI and switches are of good quality but I wish they could be more silent.

The best inexpensive mouse I've used
