If you are looking for a light, responsive gaming mouse for PUBG on PC, Valorant or Counter-Strike, and you do not want to pay for a pro-level mouse, the Redragon Deicide M816 is the most requested wired gaming mouse in our store. In this review we explain what it actually delivers, who it suits and who it does not, how it copes with our heat, dust and power cuts, and then we show alternatives that are available right now if your needs are different.
How to Choose a Gaming Mouse Before You Buy
- Sensor: Tracking quality matters more than the maximum DPI printed on the box, since most players use values far below the top limit.
- Weight: A light mouse makes fast flicks easier in shooters and reduces wrist fatigue during long sessions.
- Connection type: A wired mouse needs no charging and is not affected by battery life, while a wireless one gives you a tidy desk but needs attention to charging.
- Buttons and onboard memory: Programmable buttons are useful in games, and onboard memory keeps your settings when you move the mouse to another PC.
- Cable and switch durability: A detachable cable can be replaced on its own if it gets damaged, and long-life switches delay the day you need a new mouse.
Redragon Deicide M816: The Full Review
The M816 belongs to Redragon's budget range, yet it combines features that were limited to higher tiers a few years ago. According to the published specifications for the wired version of this model, it comes with a PixArt PAW3313 sensor rated up to 4000 DPI, a 1000 Hz polling rate and a weight of about 50 grams, along with five programmable buttons, onboard memory for your settings, RGB lighting, Huano switches rated for around 20 million clicks, and a flexible detachable USB-C cable.
Who it suits: Beginner and intermediate players in shooters and fast-paced battles, students who want one mouse for study and gaming, and anyone using a heavy regular mouse who wants to feel the difference a light mouse makes without risking a big budget.
Who it does not suit: People who dislike cables on their desk, MMO players who need many side buttons, and professional competitive players who want the latest flagship sensors with the highest possible resolution.
What really sets it apart: Its low weight is its main strength, and you will notice it from the first session when you move the mouse quickly to change your aim. The detachable cable is more practical than it sounds: the part that usually fails on a wired mouse is the cable at its bending point, and here you replace the cable alone instead of giving up the whole mouse. The onboard memory means your sensitivity and button settings stay with you, even on a friend's PC or at a gaming cafe.
Its honest limits: The PAW3313 is a budget-class sensor. It is accurate and comfortable for everyday use and gaming, but it is not on the level of the flagship sensors found in pro mice. The 4000 DPI ceiling is enough for most players, but it is lower than the figures of newer models. Customizing the buttons and lighting also usually requires the brand's software on your PC.
In Iraqi conditions: Being wired is an advantage in summer: there is no battery to suffer from room heat when the power goes out and the cooling stops, and you never have to remember to charge it. When switching between the national grid and the generator, keeping your PC running on a UPS is enough to keep the mouse ready. Dust is the enemy of any mouse: wipe the sensor lens and the glide feet with a dry cotton swab from time to time, and use a clean cloth mouse pad, because it improves tracking and protects the feet from wear.
If the M816 does not fit your play style or you prefer wireless, here are alternatives available right now, starting with the most requested by our customers.
Redragon M808-KS Storm Pro: The Wireless Step from the Same Brand
If you like Redragon but want to get rid of the cable, this wireless model from the Storm Pro series sits in a slightly higher price tier than the M816. It suits anyone who wants a tidy, cable-free desk and can commit to charging the mouse regularly.
ATTACK SHARK X3: White Wireless for a Matching Setup
A white wireless gaming mouse from ATTACK SHARK, a brand aimed at players looking for wireless mice at a reasonable price. It suits anyone building a matching white setup with a white keyboard and headset, and anyone who wants wireless within a mid-range budget.
Redragon M916 PRO 4K: Three Connection Modes for Multi-Device Users
The phrase "3-Mode" in its name means it connects in three different ways, which is useful if you use more than one device. The 4K tag in the name points to a higher-than-usual polling rate, and it is best to check the details on the product card. A mid-range option for anyone who wants a clear upgrade over the M816 while staying with Redragon.
Redragon Ranger M910-K: Another Wired Option from Redragon
If you are convinced by wired mice and want a different shape from the M816, this wired model from the Ranger series sits at the upper end of the budget tier. Check its photos on the card to compare the shape and grip before you decide.
Logitech G203: The Global Name in Wired Mice
Logitech is one of the best-known brands in PC accessories, and the G203 is one of its wired gaming models. This blue edition is for anyone who wants a different touch from the usual black. It suits those who prefer a well-known global brand and accept a mid-range price tier.
Glorious Model D: A Leap Toward the Pro Tier
Glorious is a brand specialized in gaming accessories, and the wired Model D in glossy black sits in a clearly higher tier. It suits the player who has tried budget mice, knows what they want, and wishes to move to a brand dedicated to competitive gaming.
Common Mistakes When Buying a Gaming Mouse
- Chasing the DPI number: A higher number does not make you a better player; sensor quality, stable tracking and weight matter far more.
- Mixing up versions of the same model: The Deicide name is used for more than one version, each with a different sensor and connection type, so confirm the full model name before comparing.
- Neglecting the mouse pad: Playing on glass or a dusty wooden desk weakens tracking and wears out the glide feet quickly.
- Pulling and bending the cable hard: Leave the cable some free space behind the mouse, and do not wrap it tightly when carrying it.
- Choosing wireless only for looks: If you forget to charge or play long sessions without breaks, wired will be more comfortable for you.
- Buying from an unknown source: Popular budget mice are among the products most exposed to counterfeiting, and a fake only looks like the original in photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Redragon M816 good for PUBG and Valorant on PC?
Yes. Its light weight and 1000 Hz polling rate make it well suited to fast shooters. It is an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate players, while professionals who compete in tournaments may prefer a mouse with a flagship sensor.
Is 4000 DPI enough for gaming?
It is enough for most players, because most of them play at values far below the maximum and fine-tune sensitivity inside the game. A big number on the box does not mean better aim; what matters is stable tracking and how comfortable the mouse feels in your hand.
What is the difference between the wired M816, the Deicide Lite and the Deicide Pro?
The version offered in our store is wired. The Deicide Lite is a version that works wirelessly with more than one connection mode, and the Deicide Pro is a higher wireless version with a PAW3395 sensor. So check the full model name on the product card before comparing it with any other listing.
How can I make sure the mouse is original?
Inspect the box, the model name and number, and make sure the logo and printing are clear and well finished. Buying from a known store greatly reduces the risk of fakes, and counterfeits often appear at prices that are unrealistically low compared with the market.
Does the Redragon M816 come with a warranty?
Warranty terms vary by product and supplier, so it is best to ask about them before ordering and keep the invoice and the box. Remember that the detachable cable solves the most common failure of a wired mouse without needing the warranty at all.
Do you deliver to my province, and how do I pay?
We deliver to all provinces of Iraq with cash on delivery, so you pay nothing until the order is in your hands. If you have any question about the product or delivery, you can message us on WhatsApp before ordering.
How do I protect the mouse from dust and heat?
Clean the sensor lens and glide feet with a dry cotton swab from time to time, and cover the mouse when you are away for long periods. Do not leave it in direct sunlight near a window, because intense heat affects the plastic and the feet over time.
Conclusion: Our Final Recommendation for Each Type of Player
If you are a beginner or intermediate player who wants a light mouse with real gaming specs in the budget tier, the M816 is our first recommendation, especially with a detachable cable that extends its life. If you dislike cables, go for the M808-KS Storm Pro or the ATTACK SHARK X3, and if you want flexibility across several devices, choose the M916 PRO. Those who prefer a global brand in the mid-range tier should pick the Logitech G203, and anyone looking for a leap toward the pro level has the Glorious Model D. Choose the one that suits you from the cards above and order it now so it arrives ready to play.
