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)

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.

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. *****

While my friends always made fun of me for buying cheap $15 mouse and keyboards I could have been buying this set all along. My theory has always been why would I pay $50+ for a mouse and keyboard that I will just break or replace in a years time, just to have fancy RGB lighting, when I can get a basic one that suits my needs for a sliver of the price. I was right, but wrong! You can have both. This set is the same price as buying a basic (walmart ie...) type mouse or keyboard for the same price, and you get the flashy RGB. The mouse even has a DPI option which you wont find with most basic mouses out there. It looks great, for me they are also both comfortable and fits my fingers well. The keyboards RGB is easy to figure out, but the mouse is a little different. It defaults with red and while some say you can download software to change this, I have seen others say its only red in this model. I have yet to do so as Im fine with the red. The mouse software is listed under a different model number on the manufacturers website, so keep that in mind if you care enough to go hunt it down and try it out. They provide no link to this or point you in the direction of it within the actual products box or manual. Regardless of that, for $30 you really cant go wrong....

The review way below was a review that I gave the keyboard AND the seller. After I wrote the review, I tried contacting the manufacture o the keyboard for a warranty exchange, They told me to go to Amazon where I bought it. I went to Amazon, they told me to go to the seller, I wrote the seller an email asking or an exchange. I waited and waited...... Didnt see a reply when they DID reply promptly. They were willing to exchange the keyboard immediately. I missed that email and thought they never emailed me back. I contacted Amazon and THEY ended up sending me out a NEW keyboard...... It was a day later when I caught up and saw that the seller sent an email letting me know that they would absolutely replace / exchange the keyboard as requested. If needed, I WILL do business with this seller again in the future! UPSTANDING and a great seller!!!! Changing the review rom a one star to a total FIVE!!!!! OLD review that is retracted -- I am NOT a heavy typer. I bought this then connected it on The 2nd month o the year on the 1st day. I CANNOT type the letter in-between the D and the G on the keyboard. I cannot type the month that I connected it because it starts with the letter that I cannot type.

This keyboard and mouse combo is a killer deal for the price. I bought this as a temporary keyboard and mouse as Im doing a gaming PC/music production/game development work horse. I was extremely surprised and impressed with the mouse especially. I play CSGO mainly (as it is all I can run on this laptop) and I usually dont fair all that well, Im usually 1:1 on my K/D ratio and within the first 3 games I went well over 2:1 and a significant jump in overall kills using this mouse and keyboard combo. Point being I havent changed anything about my game play and so from a scientific perspective, this mouse and keyboard setup made all the difference in the world. The mouse fits well in the palm of your hand and has a nice texture for solid gripping during long game sessions. The accuracy of this mouse is incredible for the price, actually not just for the price, its just that this is an incredible value for the money. This may end up being a permanent keyboard and mouse for my gaming PC after all. The keyboard is as advertised, RGB back lit and color changing with various options including the ability to choose one solid color. I actually like the spectrum color shifting and I also love the ability to maintain a solid color. The keys are very quiet (not clacky like a mechanical keyboard) and this is due to the membrane style rather than individual switches like a higher end keyboard such as Razer. Im not saying this is better or even comparing just letting you know this is NOT a mechanical keyboard, if that is your preference do not buy this. I prefer the silence of the keys and they are extremely responsive, even while gaming. Its to be seen as to how long this combo will last but even if I only get a year out of it, at less than $30, its still a solid deal. P.S. The mouse Im currently using is a wireless BlackWeb and its about $6 here on Amazon, I actually purchased it from Best Buy about two years ago, and its fine for an all around mouse but for gaming, you definitely need something better such as this combo. The BlackWeb has a rating of 1600DPI I believe and if I remember correctly this one is double that at its highest setting and its noticeable. I cannot imagine what a truly high end mouse and keyboard combo say from Razer would do for my gaming.

Lights on all night. Kid loves it

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!

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!

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.

Love the feel, functionality, and comfort of this keyboard/mouse combo so much I ditched my old ergonomic models.
