It's not that bad. It was a $25 set and at that price a very reasonable value. It's just not got the features of higher tier offerings, but it's still a solid set.

What I meant is that it's bad you can't disable mouse buttons in a software. Not judging it's hardware qualities.

On a side note, I got this week a Corsair M65 RGB Elite for 35 bucks from a Amazon Warehouse deal. It's plagued with failing Omron switches, but as I plan to replace them anyways (most likely with Kailh GM 8.0 switches), it's was a great deal for me. Looks like the last version, the M65 Ultra RGB (wired & wireless) got a complete recall, so Corsair has some serious QA problems.

The other crazy thing is that it's software (Corsair iCUE) is god dam 835MB! Good thing is that at least you can store all settings, lighting, key bindings & dpi, in the onboard memory, close the software & disable it from startup or even deinstall it. Everything is stored in the mouse & works even on other PC's.

Update! Amazon finally got the Redragon Shiva512 white version keyboard back in stock and I snatched one of them! I already have one of these in black, but a white one to match my Griffon mouse.

I'm happy with my KB&M setup now!

No, the carpet piece was cut to fit that keyboard to replace the degrading pleather.
