Redragon S101 Wired Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Combo RGB Backlit Gaming Keyboard with Multimedia Keys Wrist Rest and Red Backlit Gaming Mouse 3200 DPI for Windows PC Gamers (Black)

After working in IT for many years Ive used a large number of keyboards and mice. Some Ive loved and some Ive hated. This pair is somewhere in the middle. The keyboard is lightweight but doesnt feel too flimsy. Giving it a twist shows it has some flexibility but no creaking or popping. It uses the typical 104 key style layout with no odd-shaped keys. The cord is straight and vinyl insulated. There are the usual additional multimedia keys (No audio volume?) that so many manufacturers like to tout as a feature and that nobody uses. RGB lighting is controlled by the keyboard rather than the computer and has a number of options. Its bright enough to see the keys in a darkened room except for the multimedia keys, which are not lighted. The mouse is the biggest disappointment for me. The pointer jumps and wanders while used in games which has been a huge cause of frustration for me to the point Ill be replacing it. (Ive tried six different surfaces with the results being the same) The cable is stiff and fabric covered in red highlites which doesnt match the keyboard. The mouse is lighted in RED only with a breathing effect, so you cant match it to your keyboard or system color scheme. The weight system is still too light with no option for additional weights. The shape is uncomfortable in large hands and the buttons on the left side are easy to hit by mistake. Value-wise its not bad with the exception of the mouse. If the pointer instability could be fixed I would recommend it.

Great keyboard

Ive had this keyboard for awhile because I needed a a new one that was a bit quieter so I dont wake anyone in the house while working or gaming at night. Overall this keyboard does the job in regards to that. The main issues I have are the size of the keyboard and the lights. The keyboard is a bit too small for my hands and gets uncomfortable to use after awhile. As for the lights? The main issue I have is that it always resets itself to the rainbow nonsense every time you turn your computer off and back on. Yes its easy to set the lights back to what you want but I just want the light to remain on the setting I put it on. The last issue I have is that for whatever reason, if I need to restart my PC, the keyboard stops working and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. Ive tried different USB ports and even test my USB ports and settings in my BIOS to see if it was a port issue and its not. Its just this keyboard. So overall all I can say is that my issues could just be localized to the one I bought and my own personal feelings towards it. If you have smaller hands and you dont care about the lights resetting every time you turn your PC on then buy this keyboard. As for the mouse, I havent used it. I have a good mouse and Im leaving the redragon mouse as a backup when I need it.

I really do love everything about this mouse/keyboard combo...the quality is great, the lighting feature works flawlessly, the mouse is a good size, the keyboard has a nice click to it, but my only complaint and the reason I cannot give 5 stars is because my CAPS LOCK key on the keyboard keeps turning on sporadically during use. Ive had this keyboard since the beginning of November, and it is December 19th and I dont remember this happening at first but it is definitely starting to happen more and more as the weeks go by. In fact, it just happened when I clicked on another tab on my browser and by the time I came back to this tab my caps lock key was on again. Fortunately I have until January 31st to return it, which is what I will probably do even though I love everything else about it.

, it doesnt feel like a mechanic keyboard but it is, for the price is the best you can buy

Tactile feedback is good on the keyboard, but its taking a bit of time for me to get used to the layout of the keyboard compared to my old trusty Dell keyboard that this was replacing. That, Ill chock up to just me needing more time to get used to it. The weights in the mouse make it feel nice. However, there is no official software for the keyboard, which resets back to rainbow puke every time I boot my computer, which with my ADHD is distracting. The website doesnt officially support the mouse anymore, but the M601-3 mouse drivers and software are compatible, which also helps to remap the buttons. Ordinarily Id like to turn off the lights for this keyboard, but with them off, the keys are really dull, so I leave them on a solid red during use. Also, was afraid that my keyboard was broken on arrival, but it just doesnt work in a USB 2.0 port and needs USB 3. In short: Pros: Looks nice Keyboard is programmable for RGB Great for typing at night Keyboard and mouse have nice tactile feedback Mouse buttons can be programmed Shortcut buttons are nice. Cons: Layout may be slightly off compared to what you are used to Keyboard loses your RGB settings if your PC is turned off Software was a slight pain to find (You need Red Dragon USA, not the worldwide site, but if you are on the worldwide site, you can use the M601-3 driver download) Needs USB 3.0+ for the keyboard, USB 2.0 ports would not provide enough power for it to function No software to reprogram the shortcut keys or maintain the RGB settings on the keyboard.

I really like the keyboard. The lighting makes the keys easy to read, and it has a good balance between give when typing and resistance to provide feedback about my keystrokes. I prefer keyboards that provide a bit of a click when I press the keys, and this one does that. I dont know that its really any more a gaming keyboard than many other models, aside from the cool logo and backlit keys, but it gets the job done for the games I plan and is fine for work too. The mouse is not great, though. Its too lightweight and doesnt track as smoothly as my current one, and I didnt feel like figuring out how to change the sensitivity setting within my computer, since its responsiveness is very different from other mice I have used on this machine. Thats not a big deal, as I bought it because I needed a new keyboard. The gaming mouse I already have works fine.

I bought this for my son to play games and he loves it. It’s also affordable and comes with the mouse, which is decent too.

This keyboard is ok, but the fact that I cant use some 3-key combos like CTRL+ALT+DELETE is a deal breaker for me. I can get them to work, but only if I use the right-side CTRL+ALT. I think SHIFT had this problem too. Well, apparently I use shortcuts involving those control keys a lot, as a professional software engineer. Im pretty sure it has to do with the anti-conflict mechanism they setup. Notice the keys on the left side of the keyboard that are underlined. I think those are all part of this group. On the back of the box, it says 25-key rollover. So like, with VS Code for example, if I try to enter a 3-key combo in the shortcut key mapper, it will only take two keys from the left side of the keyboard. So, Im not a gamer, and maybe this is somehow good for gaming, I dont know; but I kind of doubt it. I would recommend look elsewhere. I can say a couple good things about the keyboard. I did like the light settings they had. They werent too bad. I also like the key layout. I dont like where they put the volume keys. They should have made dedicated media keys for those. For me, I only use the volume media keys on keyboards; I dont use any of the other media keys. Although I do think the track control keys are nice to have (play/pause, next/prev). I like the fact that it has lights to show Caps Lock and Num Lock. I guess its nice to have Win Lock if thats something you can do; but Ive never heard of it. Maybe thats for Scroll Lock? I would almost give this a 3, but like I said, the wonkiness with the control keys is a deal breaker for me. And I did verify this issue 1) happens on multiple computers, and 2) doesnt happen with other keyboards. Also, I guess, if this control key issue isnt a problem for you, maybe this is an ok deal for the money. But at the end of the day, you need your keys to be reliable, so I would recommend you look elsewhere. It would probably be better to have a basic cheapo keyboard that works reliably and normally.
