Rechargeable Keyboard and Mouse,Suspended Keycap Mechanical Feel Metal Panel Gaming Keyboard Mouse Combo,3800mAh Large…

I wore the letters off of my last keyboard, so I decided to invest in a gaming keyboard. I’m under the assumption that they’re made to really last (let’s hope!). And let’s face it, these beasts are GORGEOUS. But if you’re getting the impression that I’m not a gamer, you’d be right. I’m a middle-aged housewife with a thing for backlit neon rainbows, so I thought… why not? Why should the 20-something guys have all the fun?The Good:Pretty. Oh so… so very… So very very very pretty! The photo doesn’t do it justice, but that’s the best my camera could do with the shifting colors.The feel of the keyboard is surprisingly responsive. I expected the keys to be thuddy rather than springy. They are, sort of, but instead of being a bother I actually find that I like the old fashioned “solid” feel of it. This set does not feel like a flimsy piece of plastic that’s designed to break in 3 months.Speed: I type between 80-100 WPM, depending on how cold my office is. I was worried that a keyboard designed for video games wouldn’t be able to keep up with me, but it turns out that speed is no issue with this beast.NeutralIt’s heavy. To get that nice “solid feel” they made the keyboard of metal rather than plastic. The weight is listed, but I didn’t pay any attention to it until it arrived. It’s not so much that it breaks my wrist or strains my keyboard shelf, but it’s certainly hefty enough that it might be featured in one of my upcoming novels (Death by Rainbow, anyone?) I’m assuming it’s this heavy to keep it anchored during rapidfire game play.The bad:NOISY! In fact, the space key is driving me nuts. Every time I hit it, it lets off a sort of random clunk/squeak that’s really obnoxious. Otherwise the keys give off a noise you’d expect from a mechanical keyboard. It’s not suitable if you’re using this in a shared bedroom or any other location where silence is golden. In fact, you might want to invest in noise-cancelling headphones.The instructions are instructions in name only. I’m guessing they are contractually obligated to provide them, but that contract doesn’t specify that they need to make sense. It took me quite a while to figure out how to charge the keyboard – reading the instructions just made it take longer. I thought I knew what they wanted, but when I checked with the information provided it seemed to indicate something else! It was only by ignoring the booklet completely that I was able to get it plugged in correctly.When I finally located the receiver I thought it was really clever. They buried it in the base of the mouse so it won’t get lost. But not knowing that in advance and having gibberish for instructions, I spent quite a while looking for it under the assumption that I somehow dropped it during unboxing.If you’re using this primarily for typing the “enter” key will take some getting used to. The shape is inverted from what I’m used to. Typically “enter” is double-wide on the middle row. Sometimes the key will extend up to the top row in a backwards “L” shape. On this keyboard it’s just the opposite – the “L” shape is inverted so that the narrow part is level with the middle row (location of the “home” keys”). Instead of the double-wide “enter” there’s an extra “slash” key (or “backslash”, if you prefer). All morning I’ve been hitting \\\ every time I want to hit “enter” instead. I’m already getting used to it, but it’s still a bit unexpected.My gripes with this keyboard, overall, are pretty petty. If I can get the “clunk / squeak” spacebar under control the rest of it really isn’t worth mentioning. Overall it’s a dazzling addition to my office and a pleasant surprise for the money. Just… don’t read the instructions. Just… don’t.So I came here, hoping to find some answers. Should you decide to purchase this combo bookmark THIS listing. The instructions here are detailed and make sense, and this is the only place I found them.

First off, let’s get to the good before the very bad. Both the keyboard and mouse look great, and the lighting effect looks really good. The devices look and feel sturdy, especially the metal base for the keyboard. The sleep functions for both devices work well, and they can be charged easily with the included USB charge cable or any common cable. However, this wireless combo has some serious problems with lag and feedback. The keyboard sometimes gives out altogether or registers multiple button presses from a single keystroke. It’s annoying. Also vexing is the mouse not responding to multiple button presses then all of a sudden deciding it will work after six or seven taps. This product is too expensive to perform like this, and my old Logitech mouse and keyboard work better. I really wanted to love this set (the rainbow effect is seriously nice and I love the metal base for the keyboard), but the price and performance have forced me to initiate a return. Too bad, really2/4/2020I wrote my earlier review after just receiving the keyboard and mouse using it for a couple of weeks off and on. I’d plugged the small USB wireless receiver that controls the mouse and keyboard directly into the back of my PC, which is right next to my desk and monitor. This setup caused the issues that led to my first negative review. At that point, I’d decided that I was going to send the set back and get a refund. Then, I’d remembered having the exact same issues with other wireless mouse and/or keyboard sets I own from Logitech. That is, “issues” I’d eventually solve. What always helped me out with wireless peripherals with small receivers like the one included in this set was attaching said receiver to a separate Logitech usb dongle that I attached to the back of my PC. This always solved issues with connectivity before, and it has once again solved the issues I was having with this set. I have not returned this set because it is working very well now. I am updating my review to inform anyone of the process of initial negative impressions v.s. eventual satisfaction. With that said, the instructions that come with this set are so incoherent that one is better off simply searching online for similar products and skimming random tech-specific web forums to understand how to best take advantage of this set. The basics are the on/off switches on the keyboard and mouse, gathering a couple of 5volt charge cables, and charging the devices for 5-8 hrs. The mouse will always run out of juice first after about a week and a half of average use. The keyboard runs out in about 3 weeks of average use. Other than those tidbits, the keyboard looks and feels great, and the mouse has a quiet, non-clicky feel to it that takes a little getting used to if one is used to clicky mouse devices. Try looking into getting a separate usb dongle if you’re considering purchasing this set or are having connectivity issues with this or any set like it.

I know this would not be the best keyboard , but I did hope that 3800mAh battery would last longer than 4 months. It’s funny, but this 3800mAh battery made me to charge this keyboard every week and suddenly a day or 2 ago it started draining out in couple of hours of standby )) NEVER BUY THIS if you really want a wireless keyboard. My other wireless from Microsoft works for months on 2 simple AAA batteries )) 3800mAh .. ITS A SCAM.

So to start off, I really like this keyboard. It’s got a great weight to it, the feel of the mechanical keys is great and its just beautiful. The mouse is really nice as well. I like the kit a lot.However, the ‘programmable’ keyboard lights and mouse are not really programmable. The keyboard is always going to be rainbow colored, and the mouse is always going to rotate through different colors. You can’t change that.The other issue I have is that the keys are only visible when the backlight is on. So when the keyboard shuts off, you have to hit a key to get it to light back up.Neither of these issues are terrible, but having the ability to actually program the keyboard or see the keys without the backlight would make this keyboard even better.

Keyboard not what I expected. Charged overnight. Never got backlite effect to work. Impossible to use keyboard w/o backlight bcz key assignments are blacked out and impossible to see. Mechanical feel not as expected, either. I want to return keyboard for full refund.
