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)

This keyboard and mouse work. Theyre perfectly serviceable. The light options on the keyboard are nice. Thats the extent of the good things I can say about this set, unfortunately. To start with, the mouse. I thought I was getting a five-button gaming mouse (not including scroll wheel): I did not. The two side buttons are MACRO playback buttons that require Redragons propriety and obviously-machine-translated software to function. The macro function sucks because it doesnt have good manual editing; you cannot type in a set of instructions to push X button at Y time, etc, etc, the way you could with AutoHotKey. You have to record all the keystrokes in the correct order and manually edit the timing/delete anything. But you cannot add! You CAN assign the side buttons - and, for that matter, the regular Mouse1 and Mouse2 buttons - to other keys. However, you CANNOT simply assign them to, say, Mouse3 or Mouse4, as those options are anomalously missing. You may only assign it to Left or Right Mouse, or a bunch of special windows keys like IE Forward/Back, Multimedia, Mouse1/Mouse2, Internet Explorer special keys, and the like. The middle button, below the mousewheel and between the left and right mouse keys, is not a mouse button! ALL it does is swap between one of four programmable mouse input DPI steps. This seems mostly superflous to me, as you can set the mouses DPI in the software. I wouldnt mind so much if switch between DPI settings was an OPTION and I could reclaim that button for, say, Mouse5, but nope! That is absolutely, positively ALL it does. The keyboard has some FANCY light options, Ill give it that. The instruction book is reasonably helpful at explaining them all, too. Annoyingly, theyre only a set of input-based options from the keyboards own function key, and NOT programmable via the software - which has nothing at all to do with the keyboard. Furthermore, the mouse only has one color - red - and you can only choose between light on, light off, and if it is on, change the speed of the mouse lights breathing. These products are obviously not made as partners, theyre just two different products manufactured by the same company and sold as a set. The keyboard, also, feels cheap. See also the damage on the S, D, N, M, and . keys in my picture above. I have only had this keyboard about six months (arrived mid-April 2019, photograph taken mid-September 2019, day before the date-of-posting since midnight has just passed as I am typing this,) and its already visibly worn from use. This is the kind of keyboard thats made to be unboxed immediately before a PC gaming pro sets down for a tournament, it doesnt feel like its going to stand up to two decades of wear and still be functional the way my last keyboard was - and still is, though filthy and with many keys worn physically through. I bought this combo for the mouse, which, speaking of cheapness; The mouse is also bloody cheap, too. It FEELS nice and solid and thunky and heavy in your hand - thats because theres a bloody great mass of sodding metal weights inside it! You can pull them out to adjust their spacing and numbering if you like, so thats nice I guess, but with them all out, if just looks feels like a generic Logitech corded mouse going through a Goth phase. In conclusion, they work, theyre cheap enough and if you like gaming stuff, or dragons, or black, or colors, or fancy rainbow cycling lights and you need to replace either or both of a keyboard or mouse, theyll do the job. But do not expect a gaming mouse (it is not,) or a gaming keyboard (it has literally no gaming features whatever.)

Ive only been using it since yesterday, but I am already won over by this keyboard and mouse combo. Now, the M601-3 Centrophorus mouse is great. Its heavy, glides smoothly, the buttons are responsive, and the size is just right for my hands. That alone is worth the money, but Im not focusing on the mouse in this review, but the keyboard. This keyboard is a delight. Typing on it is comfortable, the keys are sturdy, give a nice tactile response, and arent so loud as to wake sleeping members of the household as I type. There was a time when I could type 130 WPM with zero errors, but for years that number was severely reduced due to a number of issues: carpal tunnel, arthritis, and poorly made keyboards. Right now Im typing around 110 WPM with zero errors, and the keyboard isnt even breaking a sweat. This is probably the best it will ever get for me, but I am already amazed. I never thought Id be able to type this fast ever again, but the keyboard is laid out in such a way, with the keys themselves offering a terrific response that lets my fingers bounce from one key to another without any interference or lag, that I dont even feel like Im straining at keeping up the pace. I realize this isnt a mechanical keyboard, but it does feel like one. I mean, if you cant afford a mechanical keyboard, the Redragon Harpe K503RGB is a fantastic deal, and I havent even got to the fun part yet: the lights! As you know from the description, the keyboard lights up in a rainbow pattern, as well as 7 colors, including my two favorites: purple, and white. It also has a spectrum option which shows a steady rainbow that doesnt blink, or you can have one that breathes. Its all rather lovely, and its a dream for me to type at night. I touch type, but sometimes you need to see the keys, even in the dark, and I have no trouble seeing where my hands are placed, or where Im going while Im typing at night. All in all, I got this combo for a steal. $30? Its easily worth twice that much, IMO. As a budget gamer, I never thought Id be able to afford a keyboard and mouse with this kind of quality. I highly recommend this for anyone who doesnt have a lot of money, but would like to be productive as a gamer, as a typist, and as a general computer user. 5 out of 5 Stars. Buy it.

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.

Let me start by saying, I love this product. I can say with complete honesty, that I do not think you can find a better Mouse/Keyboard combo out there for the price ($27.99 with free 2-day shipping w/ my Prime subscription). Having said that, please understand that you are getting a mouse/keyboard combo on the cheap, and although in this case I dont necessarily agree with the you get what you pay for sentiment because this has far exceeded my expectations for the price, it is still a $30 combo so keep that in mind when purchasing as not to be disappointed if you are expecting this thing to walk your dog. It does not come with software, does not have macros, etc. (although it does have function keys for your basics like changing volume, media player play/pause, next track, etc.) In other words, it is not full of bells and whistles, but if you are just looking for a solid gaming combo for a low price than you really cant beat this combo. The keyboard has a solid construction despite being all plastic, and the keys have great tactile feedback, probably the best I have experienced for a non-mechanical keyboard. It is precise and responsive. The one complain I have with the keyboard is something other reviewers have already mentioned; the enter key is that strange tall type that relocates the key next to it instead of above it. In my case this is not a big deal at all because I do not use that key often, but I could see it being a problem if I did so you will want to be aware. The ability to swap the arrow and WASD keys is neat, but for me it is just a gimmick as I always use WASD when gaming anyway. With the feet down, the keyboard sits at a nice angle and I have been able to game for periods of 4+ hours without any discomfort. Moving on to the mouse, I bought this combo originally because my Logitech G9 I have been using for the last 5 years got spilled on, and shorted out. I loved that mouse and at the time I paid $70 for it when I bought it. Now that I am married and with a child, I do not have $70 to spend on a mouse, so I came to amazon to look for decent gaming mouse. My budget was $30. After some research I came across this combo. #1 best selling keyboard and mouse combo on amazon? I thought. I had never heard of this brand and 5 years ago when I bought my Logitech, there was no such thing as an off brand making a quality product so I was a bit skeptical at first. However, after reading the comments I thought... What the hell, its $30. I will give it a shot and if I am not thrilled, I can buy another one once I get my tax return. Now that I have rambled my story to you I will tell you how I feel about the mouse. Now, I will not lie... It is no G9. That mouse had the perfect set of weights and DPI settings that just felt amazing, but at $70 that was the expectation. With that in mind, I will say that this mouse is the second best mouse I have used. The DPI settings are nice, though for me the highest one is way too fast so I use the middle setting normally, and the lowest setting for precision such as sniping (the buttons on top of the mouse to adjust DPI on demand are great for this). The mouse is very smooth, the left and right click as well as the other buttons all have a great feel to them. I play games that require a very high CPM, so I am jamming on the right click constantly, probably at least 100 times per minute, and it is always responsive and catches every click with ease. The mouse wheel works fine, I have no issue with it... Not much to say here other than that it functions as it should. TL;DR: Both the keyboard and mouse are worth the price alone IMO, to get both for the price is just icing on the cake. I am highly satisfied with my purchase and would strongly recommend this combo to anyone. I have already recommended it to friends if they should ever need an economic solution to replacing any of the gaming keyboards/mice.

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

This is a normal keyboard. I bought in anticipation of replacing another keyboard that was giving me problems. About 30 days later my old keyboard, was having a problem with a few keys including the return key and I was happy to have this keyboard ready. I thought it would have some ergonomic qualities. It has little legs you can set up to change the angle of the keyboard and that is about the extent of its ergonomic characteristics. The keys are super smooth, so they are a little slippery for me. My hands are a little on the dry side. I bought this keyboard, because I thought it was a good deal for an ergonomic keyboard and did not really pay too much attention to the gaming aspect of it. It has flashing lights that are kind of annoying, but if you read the instruction manual you can adjust them to a single color, flashing and non-flashing or no light at all. It is very hard to see without a light, though. Not sure how it will work at night, but I think it will work nicely and in that regard I think it offers something not on my previous keyboard. In daytime hours it is hard to see the keys, as the characters are not painted on, but are rather are see through . I would not recommend for anyone looking for an ergonomic keyboard. At first I was unhappy with it, but once I figured how to adjust the lights I am okay with it and are actually happy I can use it at night without additional lighting. The fact that it came with a mouse is an additional bonus, so yeah I would buy again for the price, but I think if I could fight an ergonomic keyboard for the same price I would buy ergonomic.

ok first off I did not buy this for gaming i needed a new keyboard because a cat decided that my keyboard was a great place to cough up a hairball on my keyboard and I work from home. well after the dogs ate the hairball off the keys I found the left over mess and got to work. After popping off the keys and doing a cleaning the L P and space bar were all sticking. like it took me 5 min to type the word approve because of that letter P. So i ordered this keyboard 1. the price. 2. the pretty lights on the keys and 3 it could be shipped the next day and work wouldnt be that interrupted. So I get the keyboard after struggling at work all day I excitedly connected it and tested it out. and OMG the letters G and M were not responding on the new key board....(insert allot of screaming yelling temper tantrum and foul language) I set up for an exchange with amazon the next morning they told me my replacement would take 2 days... I couldnt do it... I cancelled the replacement logged into best buy and ordered the same keyboard from them but I was able to pick it up the same day on my lunch hour. I got the exact same keyboard I had ordered for the same price and EVERYTHING works beautifully! the only issue is i wish the keyboard was more to the right but thats more of how my work space is set up than the item. So Im giving this keyboard 3 starts because the first one I had was faulty but the 2nd one works great.. but remember I am not gaming just data entry so I do not need the speed of a gaming keyboard so it wouldnt really be fair for me to comment on that.

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.

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 enjoyed the look of the keyboard and mouse and it’s also at a reasonable price and it worked beautifully. I had it for a couple of years and used it for gaming and eventually died after being beaten from use. I still use the mouse and plan on getting another Red Dragon keyboard once my spare is gone. I recommend this product!
