> 24 hourLet me start by saying, I love this product. I can say with complete honesty, that I do not think you can find a better Mouse/Keyboard combo out there for the price ($27.99 with free 2-day shipping w/ my Prime subscription). Having said that, please understand that you are getting a mouse/keyboard combo on the cheap, and although in this case I dont necessarily agree with the you get what you pay for sentiment because this has far exceeded my expectations for the price, it is still a $30 combo so keep that in mind when purchasing as not to be disappointed if you are expecting this thing to walk your dog. It does not come with software, does not have macros, etc. (although it does have function keys for your basics like changing volume, media player play/pause, next track, etc.) In other words, it is not full of bells and whistles, but if you are just looking for a solid gaming combo for a low price than you really cant beat this combo. The keyboard has a solid construction despite being all plastic, and the keys have great tactile feedback, probably the best I have experienced for a non-mechanical keyboard. It is precise and responsive. The one complain I have with the keyboard is something other reviewers have already mentioned; the enter key is that strange tall type that relocates the key next to it instead of above it. In my case this is not a big deal at all because I do not use that key often, but I could see it being a problem if I did so you will want to be aware. The ability to swap the arrow and WASD keys is neat, but for me it is just a gimmick as I always use WASD when gaming anyway. With the feet down, the keyboard sits at a nice angle and I have been able to game for periods of 4+ hours without any discomfort. Moving on to the mouse, I bought this combo originally because my Logitech G9 I have been using for the last 5 years got spilled on, and shorted out. I loved that mouse and at the time I paid $70 for it when I bought it. Now that I am married and with a child, I do not have $70 to spend on a mouse, so I came to amazon to look for decent gaming mouse. My budget was $30. After some research I came across this combo. #1 best selling keyboard and mouse combo on amazon? I thought. I had never heard of this brand and 5 years ago when I bought my Logitech, there was no such thing as an off brand making a quality product so I was a bit skeptical at first. However, after reading the comments I thought... What the hell, its $30. I will give it a shot and if I am not thrilled, I can buy another one once I get my tax return. Now that I have rambled my story to you I will tell you how I feel about the mouse. Now, I will not lie... It is no G9. That mouse had the perfect set of weights and DPI settings that just felt amazing, but at $70 that was the expectation. With that in mind, I will say that this mouse is the second best mouse I have used. The DPI settings are nice, though for me the highest one is way too fast so I use the middle setting normally, and the lowest setting for precision such as sniping (the buttons on top of the mouse to adjust DPI on demand are great for this). The mouse is very smooth, the left and right click as well as the other buttons all have a great feel to them. I play games that require a very high CPM, so I am jamming on the right click constantly, probably at least 100 times per minute, and it is always responsive and catches every click with ease. The mouse wheel works fine, I have no issue with it... Not much to say here other than that it functions as it should. TL;DR: Both the keyboard and mouse are worth the price alone IMO, to get both for the price is just icing on the cake. I am highly satisfied with my purchase and would strongly recommend this combo to anyone. I have already recommended it to friends if they should ever need an economic solution to replacing any of the gaming keyboards/mice.

> 24 hourThis keyboard and mouse combo is a killer deal for the price. I bought this as a temporary keyboard and mouse as Im doing a gaming PC/music production/game development work horse. I was extremely surprised and impressed with the mouse especially. I play CSGO mainly (as it is all I can run on this laptop) and I usually dont fair all that well, Im usually 1:1 on my K/D ratio and within the first 3 games I went well over 2:1 and a significant jump in overall kills using this mouse and keyboard combo. Point being I havent changed anything about my game play and so from a scientific perspective, this mouse and keyboard setup made all the difference in the world. The mouse fits well in the palm of your hand and has a nice texture for solid gripping during long game sessions. The accuracy of this mouse is incredible for the price, actually not just for the price, its just that this is an incredible value for the money. This may end up being a permanent keyboard and mouse for my gaming PC after all. The keyboard is as advertised, RGB back lit and color changing with various options including the ability to choose one solid color. I actually like the spectrum color shifting and I also love the ability to maintain a solid color. The keys are very quiet (not clacky like a mechanical keyboard) and this is due to the membrane style rather than individual switches like a higher end keyboard such as Razer. Im not saying this is better or even comparing just letting you know this is NOT a mechanical keyboard, if that is your preference do not buy this. I prefer the silence of the keys and they are extremely responsive, even while gaming. Its to be seen as to how long this combo will last but even if I only get a year out of it, at less than $30, its still a solid deal. P.S. The mouse Im currently using is a wireless BlackWeb and its about $6 here on Amazon, I actually purchased it from Best Buy about two years ago, and its fine for an all around mouse but for gaming, you definitely need something better such as this combo. The BlackWeb has a rating of 1600DPI I believe and if I remember correctly this one is double that at its highest setting and its noticeable. I cannot imagine what a truly high end mouse and keyboard combo say from Razer would do for my gaming.

> 24 hourPros: - Seem durable - Keyboard has RGB - Key presses feel like good quality Cons: - Keyboard and mouse are completely mis-matched, not even the same type or color of wires. - Mouse doesnt have RGB at all, its only red. - Keyboard has limited RGB options, switched with key combo - Keyboard doesnt remember RGB state after powered down. - Volume buttons require use of FN key combo, instead of dedicated buttons. - Keyboard RGB not diffused, leaving a somewhat sloppy appearance.

> 24 hourI didnt get this for gaming. I needed a backlit keyboard to replace an ancient one and this one has some features similar to the old one. The wide wrist rest for one thing. Its not a slim keyboard like the junky ones you get with your new computer. If it were a boat, Id call it beamy. What I like: It lights up. Pick a color or do what Im trying and just leaving it at all colors. My eyes feel less strained using the mix. Its quiet without being mushy. The keys feel like and old typewriter if anyone out there is old enough to recall those. It makes for very easy typing. That its not wireless. I like a wireless mouse, but a wireless keyboard is not worth it to me since Im not actually dragging the wire around like I would with a mouse. Nothing to eat more batteries. What I dont like: The back row of keys do not light up. Not that I have much use for any of them, but it seems weird that they made it so they cannot be seen in the dark. So far, the likes outweigh the dont likes. The mouse. No clue on that. I wont be using it. I looked at it and it seems to have a lot of buttons to play with, but it would not replace my wireless small mouse that just fits my hand. I would recommend this if youre looking for a decent backlit keyboard. I do have it on a sliding keyboard tray with the back props up and it still has room to slide away. The measurements were not given in the specs so I wasnt sure it would work, but it does.

> 24 hourI was looking for a lighted keyboard to put on my home theater PC, that Ive found I am gaming on that big screen here more lately. I was just using an old basic HP keyboard I had laying around, but given I use this in the dark it was of course impossible to see the keys with just the light from the screen. On my main desktop I have a Razer Black Widow, and I love it, so I have something to compare this one to. I didnt want to spend that much on a keyboard for the home theater PC, but still wanted the backlight. I ended up buying this one based solely on the Amazon ratings, and quite frankly, I didnt have very high expectations. I figured it was Amazon, and if the keyboard was total crap, I could return it anyway. Boy, was I surprised when it arrived! For a keyboard at this price point, I was very happy to see if felt like, while very lightweight, decent construction. Amazon shipped it in its bare box with no outer box, and of course the box was all dinged up from shipping, and I expected it to be broken, but it was just fine. Even more surprising were my first impressions of the mouse. Just the feel of it, it felt like a much more expensive mouse, and having a braided cable at this price point is fantastic. I wasnt even expecting to use the mouse, as I have a trackball, I mostly just bought this for the keyboard. I havent tried the mouse in actual use yet, probably going to give it to a friend, but the keyboard suites my needs very nicely. The adjustments of the RGB LEDs are easy to do right on the keyboard. They key feel of course is softer than the Razer I am used to on my desktop, but I was happy to learn that this brand has a higher end keyboard available with those type of keys, I might purchase in the future. Bottom line, very pleased with this purchase.

> 24 hourHOW TO CONTROL KEYBOARD LIGHTING (turn off pulsing / breathing): LM1 (FN + Insert) = Gradient LM2 (FN + Home) = Single Color choice (red, green violet, yellow, cyan, white blue) LM3 (FN + Page Up) = Static RGB combo choice (red-blue-green, green-red-blue, blue-green-red) LM4 ( FN + Delete) = Running & Neon Light Toggle (Colors moving from left-right on the keyboard *annoying*) LM5 (FN + End) = Breathing Backlight Toggle LM6 (FN + Page Down) = On/Off Switch Brightness (FN + Up/down arrow keys) = Toggle the brightness of LEDs up and down Breathing / moving colors speed (FN + Left/right arrow keys) = changes speed of breathing / moving colors (LM4) REVIEW I felt a need to post the above controls because the first thing I did when I got this keyboard / mouse was to remove it from the box and plug it straight into the computer. I was WRONG about: - This keyboard (S101-3) DOES NOT have supported software. - The lighting controls are done from the keyboard itself. SO when I plugged this keyboard and immediately the keyboard started streaming colors across the keys...WHAT IS GOING ON. This should NOT be the default. Anyways, I looked online for software, but there is none. Then I tried to use the lighting controls on the keyboard and could not figure it out. I had to pull out the manual (see pictures) and Im copying it here for reference. Hopefully this helps you like it helped me. So there IS a way to choose solid colors. And there IS a way to cycle through colors WITHOUT breathing (which I prefer). Cons: - No software - Confusing when first using. Pros: - QUIET. I know this is a mesh keyboard, but man is this so much quieter than my mechanical keyboard. - LOTS of buttons. I kinda geek out a little about all the options to control things from the push of a button right from the keyboard and this has lots of that. So even though I just started using this I think it will grow on me. Maybe Ill come back and update my review later and give it an extra star if all else is well. Overall Im now happy with this purchase once I figured out how to use the dang thing.

> 24 hourI like the keyboard and the mouse. Probably more the mouse as it is just the colors I wanted the keyboard would be better if you could eliminate colors you dont want. The different patterns are nice though.

> 24 hourLove the size of it. You really do have to have the lights on to be able to see the normal keys. I have had about a week now and the finish on it seems to collect the oils from my fingertips and has left shiny spots already on the keyboard. It doesnt tilt high enough in the back to be of great use for the feet.
