HyperX - Alloy Elite RGB Wired Gaming Mechanical Cherry MX Red Switch Keyboard with RGB Backlighting - Black

Nice keyboard great performance. Hope they update ngenuity

While this keyboard is primarily designed for PC gaming, I don't play computer games and simply wanted a better typing Keyboard. This keyboard is very comfortable for typing use, and feels better than the cheap rubber keyboards included with computers. The base is a very solid piece of aluminum, and it doesn't flex from pressure or slide around on the desk. While the optional lighting program is somewhat complicated, the is a lot of options for looks. The RGB lights are very vivid and look great. If this was used in a more professional setting for example, the keys could be set to a solid white for example. The only complaints I have is the letters in the keycaps are not engraved, and may rub off over time. The keycaps are easily replaceable though. Also, the included wrist rest feels very flimsy, and isn't very big. It is removable however, which a lot of Keyboards don't let you do. Overall I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this keyboard to anybody.

I personally prefer MX Red switches to any others, and have owned a lot of mechanical keyboards prior to this one. Normally I've gotten keyboards from a more expensive brand, although I heard great things about this particular keyboard and am very happy to have made the switch to it. It's very quick, efficient, durable, has a wrist (definitely a necessity) If I had to complain about ANYTHING.... it would be the location of the Num Lock light (yes, it's really that petty of a complaint). Because of how close it is to the minus/dash key on the Num Pad, you have to do a slight bit of leaning forward or to the side in order to see whether it's activated or not. Also, the software for the keyboard has misspellings and errors, nothing a reinstall can't fix though.

Got this keyboard for my very serious gamer son. He raves about it. The feel, the keyboard click sounds which are apparently important. Key placement. Responsiveness. Durability. And of course, the cool colors. He is very picky. But very knowledgeable. And so for him to rave about this keyboard, that says something. He would find something to complain about. Believe me! And he loves it! So, I love it!

I really love this keyboard! When you press the keys they feel amazing and the steels keys they give you top to install are so cool. I haven't switched mine yet but they are cool. And if you really like having media keys, then this is the keyboard you want. The only thing that I have a problem with is the app, it's not picking up my keyboard only my mouse, but that's not the keyboards fault. My boyfriend has a different HyperX keyboard and the app worked fine for him, but its not a complete app yet so don't expect it to be the best app ever. But if you have room on your desk for it, and the money for it then i definitely recommend.

I know i'm probably one of the only people using a keyboard for a laptop (I have a monitor and mouse too so I guess you could say I just kinda converted my laptop into a desktop) but this thing takes up two USB ports. I'm guessing just so there's more power for the lights and hardware? Anyway, with a USB mouse and laptop cooler running, all my ports are taken up and it would be nice to be able to have one free. I can't imagine desktops having too many more ports either. Other than that, the keyboard is pretty solid. The all-metal is a nice touch. Feels high quality unlike how high end peripherals are starting to feel nowadays. Cherry MX Red switches are nice and the backlighting is very pretty. One lighting feature makes it so every key you press "shockwaves" out to the rest of the lighting in a rainbow-y pattern and it looks so awesome!

For the money - one of the better keyboards I have used in a long time. I type all day at work and need a good keyboard. I rotate between this keyboard and an MS 4000 Ergo to keep my hands from getting overtired on any one position. Great, responsive, clicky keys are a pleasure to code with. Also, the audio controls are nice. This keyboard is solid, built like a tank with metal audio switches. I hope to get years of service out of this keyboard. Even the USB cable is solid - nicely insulated - and the USB port on the back is convenient when wanting to plug in a flash drive.

I have been through the FPS Pro RGB (Speed Silvers were too sensitive for my liking.), BlackWidow Elite. I landed on this. I loved the RGB on the FPS Pro, but wanted Cherry Reds. The BlackWidow Elite failed on me 3 months in. I replaced it with this, and I cannot be happier. Not a fan of non-standard fonts on my keyboards. (Even thought we barely look down at our keys anyway...). Just one of my little pet peeves. This has standard font, is beautiful, tactile, and VERY sturdy.
