Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayI was looking for a lighted keyboard to put on my home theater PC, that Ive found I am gaming on that big screen here more lately. I was just using an old basic HP keyboard I had laying around, but given I use this in the dark it was of course impossible to see the keys with just the light from the screen. On my main desktop I have a Razer Black Widow, and I love it, so I have something to compare this one to. I didnt want to spend that much on a keyboard for the home theater PC, but still wanted the backlight. I ended up buying this one based solely on the Amazon ratings, and quite frankly, I didnt have very high expectations. I figured it was Amazon, and if the keyboard was total crap, I could return it anyway. Boy, was I surprised when it arrived! For a keyboard at this price point, I was very happy to see if felt like, while very lightweight, decent construction. Amazon shipped it in its bare box with no outer box, and of course the box was all dinged up from shipping, and I expected it to be broken, but it was just fine. Even more surprising were my first impressions of the mouse. Just the feel of it, it felt like a much more expensive mouse, and having a braided cable at this price point is fantastic. I wasnt even expecting to use the mouse, as I have a trackball, I mostly just bought this for the keyboard. I havent tried the mouse in actual use yet, probably going to give it to a friend, but the keyboard suites my needs very nicely. The adjustments of the RGB LEDs are easy to do right on the keyboard. They key feel of course is softer than the Razer I am used to on my desktop, but I was happy to learn that this brand has a higher end keyboard available with those type of keys, I might purchase in the future. Bottom line, very pleased with this purchase.

> 3 dayI bought this combination, expecting it to work out of the box. The Keyboard is beautiful and does a fine job of working for what I intend it for. The mouse... No spring back for either left or right mouse buttons. I am a little more than peeved at seeing this obvious factory issue make it all the way to my doorstep. Still mulling over what to do - I may send this back. Poor quality control. Update: On closer inspection, the mouse had been misaligned at the factory and the top and bottom pieces of the mouse body were not aligned correctly. I watched a video on YouTube for this mouse as to how to disassemble and reassemble the mouse and after a few minutes I had the mouse repaired. I *WILL* be covering this on my YouTube channel since I plan to review this combo set. One more item: Redragon makes it VERY clear that software is included with this package. It is most certainly NOT. And they go to great lengths to hide the software from the end user. I have found what I believe to be the software links, but plan to test before I share them here. I will bump up the review one notch if the package works out well over the long haul, but given the mouse issue right out of the gate and the promised software NOT being in the box plus the poor web site support to find the program, I cannot reasonably give Redragon a 5 star rating until these items are corrected. Update: December 2019 - I was able to correct all the issues with that first mouse and the software works just fine. Ive since bought this combination of mouse and keyboard 3 more times and had no issues. This truly is a great keyboard/mouse combination and Ive made it a standard setup on the 3 gaming systems Ive built to date. Software is indeed on their website but it is a little strange to find - The mouse is on the website as Redragon M601-3 CENTROPHORUS 3200 DPI Gaming Mouse and has two downloadable executables - The Windows 10 version works just fine. I rarely run the software since it works fine without it but it is nice to be able to change the mouse parameters if needed.

Greater than one weekThe S101 keyboard and mouse combo is a nice and affordable replacement for a basic keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is very basic with no software to program it. All of the LED lighting commands are built-in to the keyboard using FN keys and are very basic. The mouse has software and drivers you can download to program macros, assign buttons, adjust speed, LED light, etc. However, the mouse is just one LED color...red. The keyboard has nice multicolor LED options. Both the keyboard and mouse feel like they are made well and durable. I like the feel of the keys when I type on them, its also very quiet. Happy with this purchase.

> 3 dayLet 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.

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayI got this for my office at work. I figured if I’m going to be at my desk all day I may as well have a keyboard and mouse I enjoy using. The mouse is great, adjustable DPI and function buttons are nice. The light on it “breathes” which is fun. Now, the keyboard. It looks nice, the LEDs are cool and have multiple options for how much of a rave you want at your desk. The keyboard is NOT MECHANICAL. No clickity clacks. That’s my fault for not seeing that in the description. The keys seem to absorb finger oils pretty quickly, it’s very noticeable on my spacebar. There are multiple function buttons but I don’t know anyone that actually uses those, but it’s nice to have the option I suppose. Overall this is a nice, inexpensive set up that is better than a “stock” keyboard and mouse you’d get from your company and adds some flair to your desk.
