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)

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.

, it doesnt feel like a mechanic keyboard but it is, for the price is the best you can buy

After working in IT for many years Ive used a large number of keyboards and mice. Some Ive loved and some Ive hated. This pair is somewhere in the middle. The keyboard is lightweight but doesnt feel too flimsy. Giving it a twist shows it has some flexibility but no creaking or popping. It uses the typical 104 key style layout with no odd-shaped keys. The cord is straight and vinyl insulated. There are the usual additional multimedia keys (No audio volume?) that so many manufacturers like to tout as a feature and that nobody uses. RGB lighting is controlled by the keyboard rather than the computer and has a number of options. Its bright enough to see the keys in a darkened room except for the multimedia keys, which are not lighted. The mouse is the biggest disappointment for me. The pointer jumps and wanders while used in games which has been a huge cause of frustration for me to the point Ill be replacing it. (Ive tried six different surfaces with the results being the same) The cable is stiff and fabric covered in red highlites which doesnt match the keyboard. The mouse is lighted in RED only with a breathing effect, so you cant match it to your keyboard or system color scheme. The weight system is still too light with no option for additional weights. The shape is uncomfortable in large hands and the buttons on the left side are easy to hit by mistake. Value-wise its not bad with the exception of the mouse. If the pointer instability could be fixed I would recommend it.

This was a very good deal. I got it expecting it to last around 6 months before breaking. I was extremely surprised. So far it is the same as on day one. The keys are a little loud, but I dont mind that. The keys have a good feal to them. Also, the lights are very good quality and are easily customized. Just a simple FN and Insert, Home, Page up, Delete, End < or page down button and you have change in lights. You dont have to download some sketchy website to change the colors. The mouse is good and works well. Gives off and receives light well. It is a really great deal that will last you a long time. It works for both gaming, work, and school use. Very smooth. Also, it is easy to change mouse speed. Just one click of a button and you are done. Once again, I am extremely pleased with this product and would defiantly buy it again.

My old keyboard took a nosedive after having it for 8 years. This keyboard seems well built, sturdy, works flawlessly, and lights up. Buttons do not stick, works great, so far.

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.

I 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.

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

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 have been working from a computer for over a decade and I do not know why this is the first time Ive actually invested in a quality keyboard and mouse. It does make a difference, a significant improvement! I used to think I was just a sloppy typist and blamed myself for constantly having to go back and fix words in my sentences. After an hour of typing on this keyboard - I quickly realized that I am a GREAT typist and that my cheap dollar store quality keyboards Ive used in the past were the issue! I found myself flying through emails, never having to look down at the keyboard, and trusting that every letter and number I type would actually work and type as intended. The keys feel great, they are responsive and sensitive, and they all work perfectly. I had no interests in the color changing abilities of the keyboard- I just wanted something functional and high quality. - BUT I will add that the color changing is incredibly easy. I looked at the direction book for 30 seconds and realized I can choose any color I want, I can have rainbow colors, transitioning colors, breathing/fading or turn the lights off/on - the options are all very easily to cycle through by selecting the FN ( function key) and any combination of the (insert) ( home) (end) (delete) (page up) (page down) keys. Its very easy to remember and allows the user to select any number of colors or combinations of colors. These are my first impressions of the keyboard- but I am very impressed and agree with the rest of the 5 star ratings. This keyboard has all the functionality I am looking for and the color changing ability and options are easy to use/change and remember. 5/5 stars. UPDATE - Months later, and a few hundred hours of typing and this keyboard has not let me down! I love it and have not had any issues with quality or anything malfunctioning or breaking. Keys still feel great, have not gotten slow or sticky at all. 5/5 Stars.
