Light Up My Life: Using the Redragon S101 for Desktop Ambiance

Beyond its functional uses for gaming and work, the Redragon Updated S101 Programmable Gaming Keyboard and Mouse has also become a subtle but appreciated source of desktop lighting aesthetics in my home office. The customizable RGB backlighting on both the keyboard and mouse allows me to personalize my workspace and add a touch of visual flair that goes beyond mere functionality.

The Redragon S101 boasts 6 RGB backlit effects, ranging from static colors to dynamic wave patterns and breathing effects. I often cycle through these depending on my mood or the time of day. A soft, static blue can create a calming atmosphere for focused work, while a vibrant wave pattern adds a bit of energy during my downtime. The ability to adjust the brightness levels also allows me to tailor the lighting to my preference, ensuring it’s never distracting but always adds a pleasant visual element.

The mouse complements the keyboard with its 10 RGB lighting modes, offering even more customization options. I can synchronize the mouse lighting with the keyboard for a cohesive look or choose a contrasting effect to add visual interest. The subtle pulsing or color cycling of the mouse adds a dynamic element to my desktop without being overly distracting.

I’ve even used the Redragon S101‘s lighting as a subtle form of ambient lighting in my office, especially during the evenings. The soft glow emanating from the keyboard and mouse can provide a gentle illumination that’s less harsh than overhead lights, creating a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for late-night work or casual browsing.

While the primary purpose of these peripherals is functionality, the thoughtful integration of customizable RGB lighting adds a layer of personalization and aesthetic appeal that I’ve come to genuinely appreciate over the past four years. It’s a simple way to add a bit of personality to my workspace and create a more visually engaging environment at home, all thanks to the thoughtful design and very good value and build quality of the Redragon S101.

For Travel:
I have a set of travel ready keyboards when want to travel light and on the go.

REVIEW: Rii Multimedia Wireless Backlit Keyboard w/ Multitouch Pad – Rii K18 PLUS

I wanted a backlit keyboard with a large track pad to work in a dark room so I got a Rii K18 PLUS LED Backlit Keyboard ( https://amzn.to/3aigXAI). Its a portable rechargeable backlit smaller than size keyboard with very bright 3 color led keys that works with Windows, Android, smart TVs, Xbox , Raspberry Pi with a wireless dongle. It may work with iOS but i didnt try.

I like the compact size of the keyboard so I can take it with me for blogging , note taking, typing while using traveling my Samsung Note20 ( https://amzn.to/3du0Fqr ) using a USB-C to Multiport Adaptor ( https://amzn.to/3eclkOV ). It works with Windows with the wireless dongle. It also also me to sit further from my 17 inch MSI GE75 Gaming laptop (https://amzn.to/3elQQKD) that i use as a video editor . It also worked on my smart TV via the USB port in the back.

Its all plastic construction and lightweight, but the keyboard is good. They placed the button well and have dicrete left mouse button on the left corner. The multitouch pad worked well, however the scroll section was slow to respond. It is perfect for living room, however traveling in a backpack may be too big.
The rechargeable battery lasted about 3 – 4 days after fully charging it.

Overall this is worth while if you need a compact backlit keyboard with track pad to work with your home smart TV, laptop, Rasberry PI, or smart phone with a multiport adaptor, this is very good candidate. Too bad its not Bluetooth. If it can work with Bluetooth or Dongle that would be more useful to bring with me for travel blogging.
