REDRAGON Reaping M987-K Optical Wired Ergonomic Gaming Mouse ( M987-K ) ( 12400DPI / 6 Macro Button ) ( Black )

The lifespan of the Redragon Reaping M987-K mouse depends on usage, the intensity of games it is put through, and the general care given to it. All electronic devices can wear out with time. Redragon products are durable, but users of different types will have different experiences. You can read the reviews, and that will give you an idea of how long it will last; but taking care of it—keeping it clean and handling it gently—will definitely make it last longer. The switches it has inside also determine how long it lasts.

The Redragon Reaping M987-K has a curved body for comfort but, in use, how ergonomic it feels depends on hand size and grip style. It's curved to fit in the hand, but it would not be nearly as comfortable as those mice specifically designed with ergonomics in mind. Some would find it comfortable, some wouldn't, so that's something to consider, and if possible, try before purchase to know if it would feel good in your hands.

Yes, the Redragon Reaping M987-K does have programmable buttons. You can set these buttons to do other things using the software that comes with the mouse, like running a macro—doing a bunch of things at once. It's easier for gamers to set up quick actions and shortcuts. Having macro buttons can help level the playing field so you can do things much more quickly in a game. The number and position of the buttons may be different, so check the product details to be sure.

Yes, the Redragon Reaping M987-K does require software in order to use all of its features. Without the software, you can still use it for basic functions, but with the software installed, you can change button settings, create macros, adjust DPI sensitivity, and also customize the lighting if it has RGB. You can even download the software from the official Redragon website. It helps to tailor the mouse to your own personal gaming style and needs.

The Redragon Reaping M987-K has been made keeping in mind the requirements of gaming. It offers adjustable DPI, programmable buttons, and a shape designed specifically for gaming—features that give it an upper hand in gaming of all sorts. It doesn't have many of the advanced features that really high-end gaming mice do, but it gives quite a nice balance between performance and price. It is dependable for any game, and it's not that expensive. Think about what you will be using a mouse for and your budget before buying one.

The warranty period for the Redragon Reaping M987-K depends on the place it is purchased. Different stores and regions may have different warranty periods. Check with the store where you bought it for the exact details or contact Redragon customer support directly. Most electronics come with a standard warranty, though the length and what is covered might vary. You can check the product's box for this information or look on Redragon's website.

The Redragon Reaping M987-K can, of course, be used for butterfly clicking, but how well rests on personal preference and technique. Butterfly clicking is a way of fast double-tapping of two mouse buttons in very quick succession. The M987-K does have responsive buttons, though the shape and feel may create some difficulties while trying to butterfly click. Some will find this good with the technique and some find other mice better. Reviews by players that can butterfly click will help, too. Stiffness matters.

Comfort is subjective and depends on your hand size, grip style, and preference. The Redragon Reaping M987-K has an arched shape intended to cradle the hand but won't be universally comfortable. Some of the things that will determine comfort are how you hold the mouse—palm, claw, or fingertip grip—and for how long. The best way to really know if it's comfortable would be through reviews, or better yet, trying the mouse yourself.

Yes, the Redragon Reaping M987-K does have customizable RGB lighting. Hence, you can change the RGB colors and effects according to your preference. The mouse lighting can be adjusted through software. RGB lighting makes the mouse look stylish and feels more personalized. If RGB is a must, then just make sure to check all lighting effects required by going through the product details.

The Redragon Reaping M987-K has a high-precision optical sensor, though the model isn't very specific. Designed for precise tracking and fast responding in games, Redragon is more focused on good performance with an affordable price tag. The sensor of this mouse is selected to balance cost and quality. Casual and competitive players should be satisfied with its sensor, while professional players probably need a better sensor for the best accuracy.
