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 bought the keyboard + mouse set as an upgrade from my previous keyboard. I had an old emachines keyboard that I dearly loved, but the print has worn off many keys and some of the keys take considerable pressure to function, so it was time to upgrade. I will be using this for coding and extensive word processing, not gaming, so thats what this review is based on. Mouse: The mouse is nice. Its got a nice weight. The texture on the buttons gives it a good feel. It glides on the mousepad well with no skips. Its plug-and-play, although you need the driver in order to program the extra buttons. (see below) I havent used the DPI switch, since I wont need this for my work. The funny little contour points at the back end of the mouse are quite handy for moving the mouse around when selecting large amounts of text. No noticeable delay between click and computer response. Keyboard: The keyboard is ok. Im kind of a banger when it comes to typing (I press hard on the keys as I type.) But this keyboard makes considerably less noise than my last keyboard... much softer sound and keypress (if that makes any sense). I was hoping to have the static rainbow illumination for the backlight, but havent figured out how to do that yet. (see below) My biggest complaint is that its missing the little notches on the J key that I used to use to orient my fingers when I begin typing. It has a notch on the F and the 5 on the tenkeys area, but not on the J. Instructions: This is where this set really fails. A very thick booklet is included with this set, but dont get excited. Most of the book is translations. Theres only about 3-5 pages of instructions, in very small print (I needed to get a magnifier to read them!), and the instructions arent complete. The instructions could be written with more clarity about how to change colors, and the website for downloading drivers isnt even listed. AND when you do Google-search and find the website, youll find that the model number on the booklet (and mouse & keyboard) isnt the same as the one on the website. (If you read the Q&A for this item, youll see what I mean.) Overall, the instructions are the worst problem with this item. If you can get beyond this, its not a bad set for the price. Definitely makes you feel like you spent more than you did for the set. :)

Lights on all night. Kid loves it

The keyboard is a membrane type, the keys can be a little hard to press down (not impossible of course). It has several backlighting settings (7 colors blah blah blah Im sure you can read the product data. The backlighting works without other software). The cord to the keyboard feels like it could last a while. Personal opinion (like all of this...): the mouse is the best part of this combo. Its a 6 button mouse (2 regular mouse buttons, 1 button on the click wheel, 1 just above the click wheel that changes the DPI settings, and 2 buttons in the right hand thumb location.) The mouse has red lights that breath by default (though you can turn this off through somewhat glitchy software that works 1/2 the time. But your hand is covering it when you use it...so itll probably be ok). The USB cord has a braided jacket that feels like it can take alot. It has a weight system that you can customize (personally I use 1 of the weights for a lighter feeling mouse). I have large hands and am right handed, and I like that the mouse fits my hand well. The thumb buttons on the mouse are closer to the desk than some other mice Ive used. I use a photo manipulation program often with it and the ability to set DPI higher at the click of a button is pretty useful. It also comes in handy when you run out of space on the desk (because sometimes I have papers, electronics projects etc. that are also on the desk) Im curious how long the mouse and keyboard will last (Ive had them for just under a month with daily 2-3 hour use at the time of writing this). And Im guessing theyll last a while due to the cords. Overall: the keyboard takes a touch too much work to press the keys down (personal preference) but seems solid and the lights are fun to play with (though IMO the lights are nice but not essential). The mouse meets every need I have.

I 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.

Love 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.

This is a great set for the money. You cant control the lights but it is a great keyboard regardless. The mouse is very smooth in regards to movement. Its not overly fancy but it gets the job done!

The keyboard is great. Not a fan of the rotating lights when the computer starts up, but its easy enough to put it back on the color I prefer. Ive been using this keyboard for a long time and its comfy to type on for work, as well as gaming. A solid multimedia keyboard. The mouse is comfortable, if a bit small, and is also great for a mouse. Only negative is that the left main button started squeaking after 6 months of use, and its annoying enough that I dont use it anymore. Its a plastic-on-plastic squeak, very annoying.

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.

Pros: - 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.

I use my keyboard anywhere from 8-16 hours a day most days. I work in a dimly lit room at night and need a backlit keyboard that I can see, but doesnt blind me, and that will last. Others Ive had in the past had painted keycaps that would wear off within 6 months to a year. I purchased a different brand before I bought this one, then gave the other one away because the backlight wouldnt stay on due to an unadvertised auto-off feature that could not be disabled. This keybaord is perfect for me. I love the backlight. There are several modes, but I always set it to a single color and choose my preferred brightness. Its bright enough without being obnoxious, but it can be turned up to be very bright if you wish. The keys are average height, they are fairly quiet; they do make noise, but its not the super loud clacky noise that some keyboards make. The media buttons work well, but are unobtrusive and require no extra drivers or software. I love this keyboard, and my only nitpick is one of style: Many keys have an alternate function via the function key. The symbol representing the alternate function is printed at the BOTTOM of each key, meaning the primary function of these keys is printed at the top of the keys. Due to the angle at which you see the keyboard (since its in front of you) the bottom half othe keys are better lit than the top of the keys, so the alternate functions show up better than the primary functions of the keys. For example, on the arrow keys, the alternate functions for backlight brightness are perfectly backlit, while the arrows themselves are dim. While this is a minor nitpick, I would prefer to have hte primary function on the bottom of the keys with the alternate function printed above. All in all, even with my nitpick I would definitely buy this keyboard again.
