Redragon markets the Taipan Pro as an FPS mouse, but it doesn’t specify the mouse’s weight, and it uses the PixArt PAW3311 sensor, which tops out at 12,000 DPI and 35 G acceleration, while the polling rate maxes out at 1 kHz. It uses Huano mechanical switches with a 20-million click MTBF rating, although there is no specific mention of a switch model or actuation force. The Taipan Pro features both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and Redragon claims it can manage up to 188 hours on a single charge with the RGB accent lighting off and 29 hours with the accent lighting on. Both the RGB lighting and the button mapping are customizable in Redragon’s software suite for Windows. By far the most attractive part of the Redragon Taipan Pro 810M is its price, at $39.99 for the white version and $42.99 for the black version from the Redragon web store.
The Redragon Impact Elite M913 is more akin to something like the Razer Naga with the MMO side panel installed, both in shape and target market. Similarly to the Taipan, the Impact Elite has two buttons behind the scroll wheel and a customizable button to the left of the left click, but it also adds a 12-button panel on the left sidewall of the mouse above a thumb shelf. On the right, there are sculpted shelves for both the pinky and ring finger, which are something of a rarity these days. Like the Taipan, the M913 features both customizable RGB lighting and tri-mode wireless connectivity, although the MMO mouse uses the more advanced PixArt PAW3395 sensor, which increases the DPI ceiling to 26,000, with five on-board DPI profiles, and is capable of tracking up to 50 G acceleration. The claimed battery life for the Impact Elite is 250 hours with the RGB disabled. The Impact Elite M913 is available in both black and white colorways on the Redragon online store for $52.99.
