Our Verdict

Redragon M908

UtechSmart VENUS

The UtechSmart VENUS is a slightly better wired MMO mouse than the Redragon M908. While the two mice look almost identical, the Redragon has a larger thumb rest and a pinky rest. They both weigh the same and feature the same adjustable weight options, and they're both recommended to be used in palm or claw grip by people with medium or large hands. The UtechSmart has a wider and more adjustable CPI range and features one of the most consistent CPIs that we've tested.
