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)

Great keyboard and mouse makes gaming seamless

This was my first combo that I bought back in 2018. I liked it lasted a long time, the wights in the mouse were unique, and the light were cool.

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.

Let me start off by saying the mouse works great, the keyboard however...has a somewhat frustrating issue. During the cooler months, my house usually gets decently cold. Ive noticed that when the indoor temperature gets in the low 50s Fahrenheit, some of the keys (those on the left side of the T/G/B keys) wont work in conjunction with the left Shift key. Left Shift will still work with the keys on the other side, and I can still type with the affected keys by themselves in lowercase, but if I hit LShift+a, for example, to capitalize, it wont register any input at all. I write A LOT, so this very quickly became annoying to deal with. After troubleshooting pretty much everything I could think of, unplugging/plugging back in the keyboard, cleaning the keyboard thoroughly, the only explanation I can come up with is that this board just does not like sub-50 degree temps. Otherwise, the keyboard works just fine and is decently comfortable to use. RGB lighting is very cool and Ive had no problems with it. Ill just have to find a better keyboard to switch out to once the cooler seasons come back around.

My son uses this setup for his PC games. he loves it.

Have it for a few months now and i smashed it everyday but somehow its still working like normal . Good fit for people with short temper when gaming like me lol

The keys sound good the mouse is actually bigger than expected and clicks smoothly. Love the lights and dont have any problems with it.

If you can spare two USB ports, this set is a fantastic bargain. Maybe theres more customization on more expensive gaming keyboards - this is my first step into the field. However, everything works great and I honestly have no complaints. It exceeded my expectations so far (A month or two of use so far). 2020 Update: I liked my first Redragon set enough to buy a second set for at work. The price is still right, and everything still looks and feels great. A few things have changed, though. The keyboard is now RGB backlit rather than plain unlit keys with red LED embellishments. There are FN controls to regulate the breathing (light-dark pulsing) of the keyboard, which is good because I found it distracting. The included instruction booklet lists these key combinations. FN+END pauses and unpauses breathing. FN+PGDN enables and disables the backlight entirely. FN+PGUP rotates through 3 still rainbow lighting arrangements. FN+HOME rotates through 7 monochromatic colors (white, blue, red, green, purple, yellow, and cyan). FN+INS smoothly transitions through the 7 colors over the course of a few seconds, though to my eyes the brightness was uneven. FN+UP and FN+DN scale through 4 levels of brightness, and FN+LEFT and FN+RIGHT scale through 4 speeds of animation. For my money, the backlight will be kept motionless on a monochrome light, but to each their own. All told, very happy with the keyboard. It also features two new sets of buttons above the F-row, which are oddly not backlit. The set to left of center includes links to My Computer, Search, Refresh, Email, Calculator, and Home Page. The keys to the right are media controls for Stop, Last Track, Play/Pause, and Next Track. These are all fine, but unnecessary since the F-row already has FN shortcuts to most of these things, and the topmost row, again, isnt backlit. And we have the mouse. It feels identical to the previous mouse, though it has 4 DPI settings rather than 3. Theres a catch though, which is that the mouse backlight (red only) is set to breathe by default. To disable this, youll need to download software from the Redragon support page. Although my mouse and keyboard both list their parts # as S101-3, the mouse is actually a M601-3 CENTROPHORUS. Youll need to download the drivers for this mouse in order to disable breathing. All the way left on the softwares slider will disable the light fully, and all the way right will leave it permanently backlit (my preference). The other new thing with the mouse is that a LED flashes when you change DPI; its flash speed correlating to how high the DPI is. It seems unnecessary but harmless. All told, my first impression is that the addition of pulsing lights just makes first time setup harder as you need to track down the software for the mouse and learn the keyboard controls. I want to take off a half point for the mouse not having a hardware option to disable the light, but all told Ill keep my rating at a 5 as the backlit keys are actually an improvement once you learn how to freeze them. *****

Estoy satisfecha con la compra, se puede modificar fácil la intensidad y color de las teclas hasta el momento ha funcionado muy bien, tanto el teclado, como el mouse. Puedo digitar a buena velocidad sin ghosting.

I really like this keyboard and mouse. Im not a gamer but I do use the computer a lot for work and school. I got tired of my wireless keyboard and mouse because it started causing some typing delays, it was getting annoying. My husband plays on the computer but has not tried this set yet. He thought it was pretty fancy after I set it up today. I like that the keyboard doesnt sound like my old one with the clickity-clack, the mouse makes the same clickity sound though, but its more tolerable than my old one. Light: I like how there are options for the lights. I dont like the breathing different colors as I find it too distracting. So, Im glad that it gives the option of just setting it to one color light, and one setting of light mode - which I prefer to be just on. The mouse doesnt seem to have that option? Its only red color, and breathing mode. Ergonomics: I love how its ergonomic. It helps my hands and wrists a lot. Compared to my older one that was just flat (both keyboard and mouse), on this keyboard I can comfortably rest the bottom of my palm on the bottom of this keyboard, and the mouse is shaped to make your hand rest comfortably. If you look at my pictures, you can see that I took of the thing at the bottom of the mouse. I dont know what it is, but I think its to make the mouse heavier? I thought at first hey were batteries, but I looked closer and theyre not. This is probably for a gamer thing. Overall Im just glad that this came in with no issues. Im hoping that this will last a long time just like how it should when straight full time gamers expects it to be (well, they would probably get something more durable and expensive). Will update when necessary.
