Our Verdict

Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus

Razer Viper Mini

The Razer Viper MIni is a better wired gaming mouse than the Redragon M601 RGB Centrophorus. The Razer is lighter and feels sturdier. It also has a much more flexible cable and mouse feet that glide more smoothly. Performance-wise, it has a slightly wider CPI range, a CPI you can adjust by increments of 100, and much lower click latency. You can also set a HyperShift button to enable a secondary layer of commands. On the other hand, The Redragon has a more consistent sensor and a set of added weights for adjusting the weight distribution, which the Razer lacks.
