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)

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!

Not bad, but when I select a solid/different color after I put my computer to sleep and turn it on again later the color isnt saved. Maybe Im doing something wrong? Good keyboard though and the mouses style looks bad ass. (As far as mice go anyway.)

Product is awesome. Works fantastically. No issues at all, and functions as its supposed to. My only complaint is how it was shipped. It was sent via USPS and not through Amazon itself, which caused a lot of problems. First, the package was way too big to fit inside a mailbox (obviously) but it also could not fit inside a parcel mailbox either, and I was forced to retrieve it from the post office. Items like this are better sent via Amazons own delivery service, or Fedex, etc. USPS is not designed to deliver large packages. Otherwise, I am happy with my purchase.

Updated after enough use to adequately review 12/10/22: The keys are a tad bit too small. The mouse after one day - right mouse button sticks. I use it to toggle zoom so I dont press and hold it I just tap it. The left button does have a satisfying click and the resolution of the mouse improved gaming performance by an order of magnitude. Interesting but true - see picture - this keyboard has two R keys. The left R key is actually the E key. I can touch type on the keyboard but it takes some getting used to because of the small size of the keys and the smaller than usual spacing. I will live with it for a while but I should have bought a mechanical keyboard. This will definitely improve your gaming performance if you are currently using any form of wireless mouse. I was using Logitech M510 wireless gaming mouse and a Logitech ergonomic keyboard and they both experienced latency and connection issues. Overall very satisfied.

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!

Playing WOW.

HOW 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.

Bought this set primarily for the keyboard to use at work. LOVE the fact the keys are SILENT when typing. If you like a keyboard that makes a loud clicky clacky, this is NOT the keyboard for you. Keys are smooth, medium height and show color pretty well. Really happy with this set.

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.

ITS SOOOO Lit! ..literally!
