Going back to the idea of three-in-one shampoo, I was thinking about it and I have concluded if you do not have anything to use else, then sure. The three-in-one shampoo will serve its purpose. Of course, the three-in-one shampoo probably will not be as good as regular shampoo, conditioner, and soap. If you can get separate shampoo, conditioner, and soap, then I would advise you to do so instead of going for three-in-one shampoo as it is simply just better. Each product is dedicated to its job and does not collide. Bringing us back to the 1STPLAYER Fire Dancing K8 kit, the same idea is applicable. This kit is generally good for office work with its dedicated media keys giving quick accessibility to applications and files. The typing experience is acceptable for membrane switches and you are able to be effective in your workflow with this set, but where the issue lies is when the set begins to market itself as a gaming and office set. The forced implication of “gaming” gives this set lousy pseudo-RGB that feels incomplete even though the backlight itself shines through the keys wonderfully. Forcing a backlight feature also conflicts with some office demands, notably the Scroll Lock feature, can and will ruin the user experience. The mouse is capable of gaming if your hands are small enough, but again there are better options that can be purchased on their own, just like how there are better options for shampoo, conditioner, and soap individually. Of course, you can play games using this set if you want to, but there are many better alternatives that are worth the difference in price. As of right now, there is no official price tag for the Fire Dancing K8 set that I can find online, but after reading around, this set should be approximately $30 USD. It is a budget product. There are corners cut to achieve this price along with some rather strange design choices to make it happen.
