Cooler Master MM720 Matte Black Lightweight Gaming Mouse with Ultraweave Cable vs Redragon M602 Gaming Mouse

The Cooler Master MM720 is the value champion of this lineup, and it is not close. It crams a PixArt PMW3389, one of the best optical sensors ever made, into a tiny honeycomb shell that weighs an absurd 49 grams.

The sensor hits 16,000 DPI, 400 IPS, and a 1000 Hz polling rate, so flicks and micro-adjustments feel instant. The egg-shaped body with its built-in ring-finger rest is one of the most comfortable claw-grip shapes around, and the Ultraweave cable drags so little it almost feels wireless.

The trade-offs are real though. The shape is small and divisive, so palm-grip and large-handed users may struggle. The honeycomb holes can collect dust, and 49 grams feels almost too light to some. For competitive players who fit it, it is a steal.

The Redragon M602 Griffin is the classic answer to wanting a gaming mouse with only twenty dollars to spend. It pairs a contoured, right-handed ergonomic shell with a thumb rest and grippy scroll wheel, and for the money the build feels surprisingly solid.

The sensor tops out at 7200 DPI with handy on-the-fly steps and five onboard profiles, each tied to its own LED color so you always know which one you are on. Tracking is perfectly fine for casual and even mid-tier competitive play. It will not embarrass itself in your daily games.

The catches are predictable at this price. At around 130 grams it is heavy, the body is glossy plastic that picks up fingerprints, and Redragon's software is dated and clunky. But as a no-risk first gaming mouse, it overdelivers.
