The Redragon M815 Gaming Mouse incorporates several advanced features designed to enhance your gaming and productivity experience.

4.1 8K Polling Rate Technology

Equipped with a high-precision optical sensor (Pixart PAW 3395), the M815 offers a wide range of DPI (Dots Per Inch) settings, from 100 to 26000. Default DPI levels are pre-set (e.g., 1000/2000/4000/8000/26000), allowing for quick adjustments. Fine-tuning and custom DPI steps can be configured via the Redragon software to match your specific needs for different games or tasks.
