Rapoo VPRO V110 review: A gamer’s budget delights

Rapoo is fairly a new player in the affordable gaming accessory segment and they recently brought in the VPRO V110 gaming keyboard and mouse combo at a very affordable price of just ` 1,690. The combo looks every bit a dedicated gaming setup — you get this huge and bulky keyboard, which is what gamers would prefer. The looks of the keyboard may tempt you to think you have mechanical keys at your disposal, but they are actually membrane.

Moving on to the mouse — it draws eyeballs with its outrageous bodywork. The mouse has two programmable keys to its side which is something gamers prefer while playing demanding games such CS: GO or Call of Duty. There’s also an additional button on top for tweaking the DPI and changing the colours of the lights. It provides a very comfortable grip for long sessions. The buttons are pretty tactile and have a pleasant ‘ clicky’ feel to them. The underside, though, is prone to gathering debris. It also isn’t on par with the best we have seen when it comes to sensitivity and responsiveness.

On the whole, the Rapoo VPRO V110 combo set is great value- for- money. If your requirements match with the positives of the V110 gaming combo, then we see no reason as to not recommend it.
