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)

I type for a living, 9 hrs a day most days. I am not a perfect typist but have been doing it over 20 yrs so I am ok. That said this combo had some things going for it and some not so. The keyboard- took me a few minutes to adjust from my prior and fingers and movements fell right in nice, nice to type on almost dead silent, key pressure is about perfect in the middle for most, the lights are mostly nice color schemes, colors and brightness can all be changed super easy. The extra buttons are nice to have also. The negatives , you must use the light if you want to see the printing of the letters and numbers at all, the top number row the symbols can be a little hard to see even with brightest color, the front of it is not for me I would have preferred it flat as it’s too short to be an effective wrist rest so I have my normal keyboard wrist rest in front of it, that is my biggest gripe. The mouse to me is fine, nothing bad but not great either, I see some dislike for it but maybe some don’t realize the small button behind the scroll wheel if you press it then it changes the dpi mouse movement speed it has 3 settings, no need to download any software to do that. I just wish I could stop it from pulsating the lights on it constantly. All together I think this is a solid 4 stars, especially when you consider the price.

Its true that you get what you pay for. I bought this keyboard/mouse set after buying another set for $20.99 on Amazon made by ChonChow (see my 3 stars review there for that) - I almost regretted that purchase because there were more negatives than positives about that keyboard and finally bought this RedDragon after my cat chew through the Chonchow keyboard usb cord last week. I now wrap my usb cords with aluminum foil - read that cats dont like to chew on aluminum foil. The RedDragon costs about 1/3 more than ChonChow but its definitely at least a 1/3 better in build quality and so much easier/more a pleasure to use (keys and typing feels smooth, solid and not too noisy). First, the negatives - (1) only the mouse usb cord is nicely braided (sturdy) and gold plated. wish the keyboards usb cord had the same quality build. (2) once your PC wakes from hibernate, the keyboard goes back to the factory default setting for breathing rainbow lights mode. It should not do this, it should simply go back to whatever lighting mode you had it before the computer went to sleep. (3) please add the ability to also turn off the mouses light, and the lights for both the keyboard and mouse will go to sleep/auto sleep when they are not use for a period of time (like over 10 minutes), or when you put the PC to sleep. (4) the instruction booklet is VERY minimal - the bare bones way they tell you how to change lighting effect etc. any non expert keyboard gamer would have trouble figuring out. How do you interpret <1>FN+DEL? Do you actually need to press the <? etc.? (5) this was shipped to me in its box, unprotected by an outer Amazon box, which is a little worrisome since the mail service can sometimes be rough with packages, and theres not much protecting the keyboard inside except one thin layer of bubble wrap (mine was fine but Im sure others may get damaged boxes). The GOOD - Reasonable price for overall quality build ($30 for keyboard, mouse and mouse bad). LONG usb cords for mouse and keyboard (they say its 5 feet long but seems +6feet!). As you can see from my ChonChow keyboard review, their claim of 5 feet is rather short and barely could reach from the desk directly below to the PC under the desk. The ReDragon cords are more than enough to go the distance - very happy about usb cords length. Like the ability to change lighting colors and effects, especially brightness levels, and even simply turning off the keyboards light. If it continues to work fine in the coming months, would definitely buy again!

I bought this for working from home love that I can change the lights. I sit in a kinda dark office because of migraines and the keyboard is just bright enough to ser

My job gave me a computer with a crap ass keyboard that had broken feet and the previous guys nastiness all over the keys. I could have waited for them to slowly decide when it was in the budget to replace a crap ass stock keyboard with another crap ass stock keyboard, but I decided I had waited long enough. If I am going to spend the better part of 8 hours staring at a computer, I might as well make it my own. So I dropped a couple of bucks and got a keyboard and mouse that would be complete overkill for an office environment... and its perfect. Why? Because now my boring ol office has some uniqueness to it, making me forget I am trapped at a desk. Now I am trapped at a desk with peripherals that are much better than anyone else. This may not be a big deal to you, but in my mind, its better to do the mundane tasks on a keyboard that visually distracts me with colorful bliss. The mouse takes the feeling of dread I had from clicking that worn out stock mouse and gives me the excitement I need to not only click, but DOUBLE CLICK as well. Im sure i could play games and other things with it too. So why did I buy a gaming mouse and keyboard for an office computer? Because Im awesome. That, and think about it... gamers sit there for hours double-clicking to use the Sword of Gondor repeatedly, so it must be comfortable. Logic.

The keyboard feel is an excellent balance between the traditional tactile (click) of older keyboards and a soft smooth response that comes with newer quieter keyboards. The backlight is helpful when working in low light conditions (if you need to look for special key combinations that you only use once in a while. Otherwise the type by touch and finding the F and J keys is pretty easy with the raised indicators on those keys. Many of the reviews complain about the response of the mouse. The slow response that is there by default is a feature for gamers and graphics types who are working on very large screens and need very fine mouse movements (to the pixel level). This is easily changed by pressing the button on the top of the mouse (behind the scroll wheel - another great feature!). it has 4 settings. Each time you press the button the mouse is more sensitive and moves faster (see above pic). The mouse and keyboard are great!

Worked well

just got it. time will tell. got it super quick and the price was very good.

I LOVE this keyboard. Its absolutely perfect. Now, Ive always been a PC gamer, but Ive never purchased a gaming keyboard or mouse. . My first keyboard was just a plain black Logitech keyboard that Ive owned for five years, and my mouse was a trackball. Now see, Ive always wanted a keyboard that glows. The Alienware keyboards looked so beautiful with the ability to customize the colors. But I guess I decided..Why do I need that? Ive been typing ever since I was a child. I have the locations of every key memorized. I dont even have to look down anymore. Eventually, I found the mouse and figured Id give it a try. My finger was just getting ready to hit Proceed to checkout when all of a sudden, I saw this combo. So I figured..Why not kill two birds with one stone? The set finally arrived after a dramatic week of waiting. Ill tell you right now..When I opened the box from Amazon, and pulled out the case, I was absolutely ecstatic! After I opened the box, I spent a good ten minutes admiring the set, clicking the mouse, and feeling it in my hands. The braided cord was an excellent touch Ive never seen attempted before. But when I plugged the keyboard and mouse in, I knew that I was inlove with this set. The product images dont do well to represent the backlight. Its a lot brighter than I expected, which I love(Remember, I wanted a keyboard with glowing keys). But the mouse has the best glow to it! Anyway, it has three DPI settings on the mouse which has proven very helpful in FPS games. And it has two side buttons, which I havent experimented with yet, BUT I notice that either them act as a Go back one page and Go forward one page. Even more convenient is that I can open a new tab in Firefox by clicking the scroll wheel. I have to get used to the raised keys, as well as using a mouse instead of a trackball. And of course, there are the numerous multimedia keys. The enter button is a bit farther like the others have mentioned, but I honestly dont find that a con. Its something that I immediately got used to upon using it. In conclusion, I love it. I thought Id immediately regret this purchase, but I just dont. I love this keyboard, and the mouse is spectacular.

the keyboard is actually decent but the mouse sensor is pretty dog water even for regular use.. i dont know if its cuz i dont have a mousepad but the mouse isnt great.edit: ok it turns out you need to put in the weights and get a book of a certain texture or a mousepad to make the sensor perform better.

Love the colors, functionality is perfect. At about a year though, buttons started failing.
