How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a complete plug-in-and-play gaming setup in a single box — keyboard, mouse, headset and mouse pad — choose Redragon S101-3; if you need a desk stand that organizes and charges the gear you already own, choose Saitake RGB Controller Holder. These two products share almost nothing except the word "gaming" on the box. One is an input-and-audio bundle for someone building a PC setup from scratch. The other is a storage-and-lighting accessory for someone who already has controllers and a headset cluttering their desk. Figure out which of those two people you are, and the decision takes about five seconds.
• Redragon S101-3 — biggest strength: It's a genuine all-in-one bundle. Keyboard, mouse, headset and mouse pad arrive together, all wired, all working out of the box on Windows.
• Redragon S101-3 — biggest trade-off: Everything is corded, and the keyboard layout is Windows-first with only limited Mac support. No battery, no wireless freedom.
• Saitake RGB Controller Holder — biggest strength: It physically cleans up a desk. One headphone and up to four controllers sit on a stable, rubber-padded tower with 9 RGB modes and two USB ports.
• Saitake RGB Controller Holder — biggest trade-off: It's an accessory, not a device. It plays nothing, types nothing, and only one of its two USB ports handles data — the other is charge-only.
• Redragon S101-3 is for: the gamer assembling a full wired PC setup on Windows who wants every peripheral in one purchase.
• Saitake RGB Controller Holder is for: the multi-console gamer whose controllers and headset are already piling up on the desk.
The S101-3 is a bundle in the truest sense. You get a 114-key RGB backlit keyboard with a full numeric pad, an RGB backlit mouse with adjustable DPI, a stereo headset with a microphone, and a mouse pad. That's the entire front line of a desktop setup in one box — nothing else to shop for, nothing to pair, nothing to charge.
The keyboard is the centerpiece, and the spec sheet shows a design aimed at long sessions. There's an integrated wrist rest, which matters more than people admit once you're three hours into a game or an afternoon of typing. The keys are described as quiet with precise tactile feedback, built for longevity and durability, and the board is designed to withstand an average liquid spill — a small detail that saves a lot of keyboards. Lighting is flexible: 6 RGB modes and effects, 4 brightness levels, and adjustable breathing speed, with clear uniform backlighting through the keycaps. If the lighting distracts you mid-match, the WIN key can be disabled, and the anti-ghosting spec covers 26 conflict-free keys with n-key rollover.
Buy it if you're building a Windows desktop setup and want one purchase to cover keyboard, mouse, audio and mouse pad. Skip it if you need wireless peripherals, you're mainly on Mac (keyboard support is limited), or you already own good gear and only need one component. Also skip it if you're a console player — this is a PC bundle, not a controller accessory.
Saitake RGB Controller Holder: Who It's For
This is a different kind of product entirely, and judging it as a "gaming device" misses the point. The Saitake holder is desk infrastructure. It holds one headphone and up to four controllers at once, which tells you exactly who it's designed for: someone with a PlayStation, an Xbox and a Switch, plus a headset, all fighting for the same square meter of desk.
The design is a tower form factor in black ABS plastic with a polished finish, assembled from a few parts. The base is weighted and stable — the spec calls out that it won't easily topple — and there's a rubber pad underneath to stop it sliding and protect the desktop surface. The hook itself is wrapped in soft protective rubber so your headset band doesn't get scratched or creased. That's the kind of detail that separates a stand you keep from one you throw out after a month.
The RGB is the fun part: 9 lighting modes switched by a key, so you can match the mood of the room or just leave it on one color. A long press for two seconds turns the light off, and a memory mode holds your favorite color so you're not re-selecting it every time you power up.
Then there are the two USB ports, and this is where you need to read carefully. The centrally located USB 2.0 port handles both charging and data transfer — good for a mouse, keyboard, smartphone or other USB device. The second port is charge-only. Both are plug-and-play with no driver required. The housing is fire-resistant hardened plastic with built-in circuitry and a microchip, plus multi-protection against overload, short circuits and over-current — the sort of safety spec you want in anything sitting on a desk near your electronics.
Buy it if you own multiple controllers and a headset and want them off the desk surface, charged and lit. Skip it if you game at a single PC with a keyboard and mouse and own no controllers — in that case this stand has nothing to hold. Also skip it if you need high-speed data from both ports; one of them only charges.
• Best for building a setup from zero → Redragon S101-3. Keyboard, mouse, headset and mouse pad in one purchase, wired and Windows-ready.
• Best for tidying an existing setup → Saitake RGB Controller Holder. Four controllers plus a headset, off the desk and on display.
• Best for desk-space savings → Saitake RGB Controller Holder. Its whole purpose is consolidation and vertical storage.
• Best for typing and marathon sessions → Redragon S101-3. Integrated wrist rest, quiet durable keys, full numeric pad, 114 keys.
• Best for multi-console households → Saitake RGB Controller Holder. It's built for mixed controller collections, not one platform.
• Best for lighting control → a tie, honestly. The keyboard offers 6 modes with 4 brightness levels and breathing speed; the stand offers 9 modes with a memory function. Different tools, similar obsession with RGB.
• Best for charging and data convenience → Saitake RGB Controller Holder. Two USB ports, though only one does data.
• Best for Mac users → neither, really. The Redragon keyboard has only limited Mac OS support; the Saitake stand is platform-agnostic but assumes you own controllers.
• Best for a single, simple gift → Redragon S101-3. A complete bundle reads as a bigger, more useful present than a stand.
If I had to pick one, I'd buy the Redragon S101-3 — because it does more. It's a complete, functional setup the moment you plug it in, and it covers the four things nearly every PC gamer needs. The Saitake holder is genuinely well-designed, and I recommend it without reservation to anyone drowning in controllers. But it's a supporting player. It organizes your gear; it doesn't become your gear. If your desk is already sorted and you need peripherals, the Redragon bundle is the one that changes how you play. Check the current price on Amazon for both before you commit — the gap between a full bundle and a single accessory is worth seeing for yourself.
FAQ
Only partially. The spec lists limited Mac OS keyboard support, so the keyboard will work in a basic sense, but you shouldn't expect full feature parity. It's designed around Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP, and works with all major computer brands and gaming PCs.
No. The centrally located USB 2.0 port handles charging and data transfer. The second port is charge-only. Both are plug-and-play with no driver needed.
They're not really comparable purchases. The Redragon S101-3 replaces four peripherals at once; the Saitake holder adds one piece of desk furniture. If you need peripherals, the bundle covers far more ground per purchase. If you only need organization, buying a keyboard you don't need isn't value — it's waste. Compare current Amazon prices for both and match it to what's actually missing from your setup.
