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 don’t 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 can’t 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, it’s $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.

I bought this for my kid so I wasn’t too concerned about what I thought about it for a low cost keyboard and mouse combo. They just wanted the lights. But after using it myself on their system, I have to say the mouse and keyboard actually feel and work really really good! And the LEDs actually look really good on both of them too! They beat up both a lot and still work after 4 plus months with no issues.While I am still planning to replace my workhorse basic keyboard with a programmable RGB like the Corsair K70 RGB or something by G.Skill or Logitech; if you are looking for a great budget combo with lights. This ones feels great to type on and looks great too for the price. I really am shocked. If you are building a new system and want to space out spending money on the really nice gaming keyboards, or refreshing the experience on and old system with worn keyboard, this is a great option. I didn’t test for ghosting, but I didn’t have any issues with any games or software.

I was looking for a keyboard/mouse set to play some games on my PS4 (trying to get used to it before getting a PC) and this set is exactly what I wanted. It works flawlessly, all I had to do was plug it in. No adaptor, no extra USB hub… nothing. It works GREAT right out of the box!It’s also really cool looking; the mouse has a fabric wire which is really nice to have, and both cords are very long. I really love this set and I’m really happy with my purchase! Awesome stuff.

My son wasn’t enjoying my old 2005 logitech wireless and keyboard with his gaming so we grabbed this deal. So far we are all happy, the mouse is accurate and has a nice feel. The keyboard looks great with the backlit colors, which can pulse, scroll, and be dimmed and brightened. The keys have a bit softer of a feel than I am used to but it hasn’t hindered me in any way. For this price we couldn’t be happier, we very much recommend this.

I’ve only been using the keyboard at work for about week, and so far it’s been great. I like that I can select a ‘solid’ color (vs multiple colors) and each day I change the color (Fn+Home) – I’ve received lots of comments on the cool colors. The keys are a perfect distance from each other & are easy to press. My old MS keyboard at home forces me to use more pressure on the keys & therefore I find I make more typos. I don’t have that problem with this keyboard. The only thing I miss having is a button for the calculator.I like the mouse too. The only complaint is that sometimes my forefinger doesn’t automatically find the scroll wheel (it’s between two ridges that are slightly too high) & I have to look at the mouse to find it.

I’ve 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. It’s heavy, glides smoothly, the buttons are responsive, and the size is just right for my hands. That alone is worth the money, but I’m 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 aren’t 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 I’m typing around 110 WPM with zero errors, and the keyboard isn’t even breaking a sweat. This is probably the best it will ever get for me, but I am already amazed. I never thought I’d 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 don’t even feel like I’m straining at keeping up the pace.I realize this isn’t a mechanical keyboard, but it does feel like one. I mean, if you can’t afford a mechanical keyboard, the Redragon Harpe K503RGB is a fantastic deal, and I haven’t 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 doesn’t blink, or you can have one that “breathes.” It’s all rather lovely, and it’s 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 I’m going while I’m typing at night.All in all, I got this combo for a steal. $30? It’s easily worth twice that much, IMO. As a budget gamer, I never thought I’d be able to afford a keyboard and mouse with this kind of quality. I highly recommend this for anyone who doesn’t 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.

My job gave me a computer with a crap ass keyboard that had broken feet and the previous guy’s nastiness all over the keys. I could have waited for them to slowly decide when it was in the budget to replace a crap ass stock keyboard with another crap ass stock keyboard, but I decided I had waited long enough. If I am going to spend the better part of 8 hours staring at a computer, I might as well make it my own. So I dropped a couple of bucks and got a keyboard and mouse that would be complete overkill for an office environment… and it’s perfect. Why? Because now my boring ol’ office has some uniqueness to it, making me forget I am trapped at a desk. Now I am trapped at a desk with peripherals that are much better than anyone else. This may not be a big deal to you, but in my mind, it’s better to do the mundane tasks on a keyboard that visually distracts me with colorful bliss. The mouse takes the feeling of dread I had from clicking that worn out stock mouse and gives me the excitement I need to not only click, but DOUBLE CLICK as well. I’m sure i could play games and other things with it too.So why did I buy a gaming mouse and keyboard for an office computer? Because I’m awesome. That, and think about it… gamers sit there for hours double-clicking to use the Sword of Gondor repeatedly, so it must be comfortable. Logic.

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. I’ve since bought this combination of mouse and keyboard 3 more times and had no issues. This truly is a great keyboard/mouse combination and I’ve made it a standard setup on the 3 gaming systems I’ve 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.

No really, I know nothing about gaming. If you’re reading this review and you’re a gamer… you probably want to read another one. If you’re the mother of a 10 year old kid who wants a gaming keyboard and you looked them up and were all “Uh… yeah no. I’m not spending that on a gaming keyboard” and you came to Amazon – this fits the bill. My particular 10 year old isn’t a hardcore gamer either, he just watches youtube video’s and the people who have loud high pitched voices and British accents (why are they all British?) must use them (not this one, gaming keyboards/mice in general). Anyway, I got him this for Christmas and he loves the keyboard. He says the mouse could use one more button but he likes it anyway. He uses this with a PS4, I’m pretty sure it can be used with xbox and obviously it would work with a PC.

Like many others before me, I am awesome, and I purchased this keyboard.Now I can switch between Excel, Word, and Powerpoint faster than all my coworkers that I work with at work. Our engineering co-ops refer to me a the “yeet-man”. Need an image file converted to pdf? BAM 10 seconds flat… including my email sending it back to you. Scroll to the bottom of that message you’ll see that I’ve already added “RedDragon” to my email signature. Word of my dominance is spreading quickly through the company (mostly thanks to an idiot coworker who clicked ‘reply-all’), and even my boss hesitates to check the color of my keyboard before interrupting my intensity. Game on ladies and gentlemen, ’cause I’m bringing the juice every day.Pros: too many to list.Cons: my new popularity will probably wear off and I’ll need to buy something else to become popular again.
