> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayThis 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!

> 3 dayNot 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.)

Greater than one weekThe keyboard is great. Colors are vibrant and pretty. The only issue weve had is the mouse. I would not count on the one that comes with it- go ahead and purchase another because this one is junk. Still love the keyboard!

> 3 dayIts 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!

Greater than one weekLove this keyboard. Bought it for my son when he was around 12 and he thought it was pretty awesome. The lights really make it look great. Recently bought it for my 10 year old nephew who upon installation, leaned over and whispered...I love you keyboard!!! Cant beat that review, lol.

> 3 dayI bought this pack primarily for the keyboard to see at night when the wife is asleep. So for that, the keyboard has fit the bill perfectly. Theres still some abnormalities with it. Why it needs to start in flashing rainbow mode, among others. But I digress, so far the keyboard has been a great improvement to my situation. The mouse, well, its in a box on the shelf. Put bluntly, I dont like it. I dont like the goofy holes where your thumb rests, I dont like the heavy texture on the buttons. Unless your thumb and fingers are made of putty or sopping wet, having a smooth rough texture like this does not provide added grip---it provides less surface area contact on your fingers. Thats less grip. Theres a reason race cars use tires with no tread. So unless youre worried about your fingers hydroplaning on your mouse, rough textures really have no place on a mouse. Unless youre pounding down potato chips while you use your mouse. I digress. In all seriousness, my dream keyboard would just be the cubicle-ubiquitous Dell Quiet Key, but with keys that illuminate. I dont care about ghosting. I dont care about RGB colors. I dont care about multimedia keys or any of that stuff. This one looked to have fairly generous lower profile keypads rather than the often-imitated IBM model M super tall, skinny keys which I dont like for typing. And so far, its been just fine. Not as nice to type on as my office drone special, but still alright.
