Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this keyboard mainly because I needed one with backlighting for typing at night in the dark. I love the colors plus it has buttons where you can control the colors, on/off and color fade feature. It's USB connection made it easy to connect to my Windows desktop. It feels sturdy, with a little bit of weight to it and comfortable. The keys are more responsive to touch but a little louder than my previous keyboard. (My previous keyboard was a wireless Logitech that had flatter/lower keys than this one.) Overall its a great option and it fit my needs.

Just started a work from home job and wanted a keyboard that was comfortable, typed smoothly, reasonably priced, and had dedicated volume buttons. I didn’t set out to get RGB but knew that if I did, it would need to be a product that didn’t require additional software because IT won’t let me for work PC. The RGB is great, the keyboard has a solid weight, and it’s asthetically appealing even without RGB. I’m giving this 5 stars because it meets all expectations but will name the nuances that I dislike: 1. Num/Cap lock indicator light is [very] bright white. 2. Space Bar shape makes it uncomfortable to use if your desk is too tall compared to how low your chair is. 3. When RGB is not enabled, it’s difficult to read the the keys.

this keyboard is awesome and works well with my laptop - i like the colors that are displayed under the keys - typing with this keyboard is great too - the keys are so responsive compared to the built-in laptop keyboard

This key board is sleek and quiet. I love the changing of the colors. Keys have a soft touch to them and I'm not into the mechanical ones with the loud clicky clacks when you hit the keys. It's a great key board for the price. I'm new to gaming and so far I'm happy with my purchase.

I am not a gamer per say (even though I have a gaming PC). I play a few games now and then. I wanted a new keyboard that was not clicky like most gaming keyboards but I also wanted back lighting in a variety of styles and colors and no attached palm rest. The HyperX - Alloy Core RGB Wired Gaming Membrane Keyboard with RGB Lighting was the perfect choice! It has full sized keys in a full sized board with really nice feel. About the only complaint I can think of is not having the ability to change the caps lock, Scroll lock etc. light colors. A piece of electrical tape took care of the glaring white lights for me!

Have owned two of these now. First one is typing this review and works flawlessly. This has been used heavily for gaming and general use for several years. For the price, it works great, looks decent and has solid media management features of much more expensive units. Recently purchased a 2nd one for a family member who's "gaming" keyboard started having keystroke failures and stuck keys. Easy choice. No software required.

I've used this board for a few weeks as a replacement for my Logitech G910, which was agitating a chronic wrist injury. May I just say this this board is PERFECT. The level of customization for the lights will satisfy all but the pickiest of gamers, and the keys themselves are nice, clicky, and responsive. The ergonomics of the board are also excellent, allowing for long gaming sessions without easily agitating most wrist injuries, and even allowing the user to wear a wrist brace if needed with minimal interference or unintended collision with other keys. The only arguable "downside" to this board is no programmable macro keys, or rather, no macro keys at all. For $50 (Or less, if it happens to be on sale), this board should satisfy the overwhelming majority of users both in and out of the PC gaming space.

I like everything about this keyboard. From the quality to the, RGB key colors, to the feel of the keys, to the ability to turn off colors, to the price, to the length of the cord, everything about this keyboard is great. I would recommend to either first time buyers or experienced.

Needed a replacement keyboard. This one works well. I like the mechanical keys. Has nice LED options for backlight.

Very solid keyboard. Has all of the buttons needed for sound and numbers. Like the option of being able to change the colors. The only reason why I rated it 4 instead of 5 because I wished it was wireless.

High quailty keyboard with durable keys and execellent RGB lighting. Should hold up well for long term usage.

This is a GREAT keyboard. My kiddo spends way too much time online, and loves keyboard. Colors and clicks make it the best one so far.

I love the lights of the keyboard. The keyboard is smooth and comfortable to use.

I am not a gamer, but I work on a computer every day. This keyboard is comfortable for typing all day, it's quiet (which is important for me) and the lighting makes it fun. Just what I was looking for.

I'm not a gamer but wanted a backlit keyboard for my desktop in a dark bedroom and this fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank! Looks awesome and I like having rasied keys again, unlike the keyboard that comes with most desktops lately.

High quality and heavy. The lights are cool but only slightly customizable. The key mechanics are great - feels very precise and good feedback and springy. This is truly a plug and play, super easy - no software needed. The only thing lacking is a palm rest.

This keyboard has a good feel, is accurate in use by someone who learned to touch type on an IBM Selectric. The biggest plus is, it's not $150 or more like so many of the other mechanical, light up keyboards on offer. The only downside is the sound volume button is right near the upper edge of the keyboard, so if you pick it up to move it, you'll probably turn your sound off. Also worth noting: works perfectly under Linux Mint or System76 PopOS. All the multimedia buttons map and work correctly.

The HyperX Alloy Core Gaming Keyboard is a fantastic addition to my daughter's Mac setup. Its vibrant RGB lighting adds a fun touch, while the responsive membrane keys provide a smooth and comfortable typing experience. The build quality is excellent, ensuring durability for long gaming sessions. Highly recommended for gamers of all ages!

I bought this keyboard for gaming and general typing. I really like how the keys feel and that the keys are clearly labeled. The F & J keys have a good "ridge" on them, no guessing if I've got my hands in the right position for typing. The layout of the keys and the control buttons for the lights and sound are really good as I can make changes without looking at the keyboard. The RGB Lighting is an awesome bonus as the background light colors can be changed or turned off. (I routinely change the colors for fun.) The keyboard has a good weight to it and won't slide around during use. I highly recommend this keyboard.

Just an amazing keyboard. Each key is lit and light comes through it. It is a mechanical gaming keyboard. Initially I hesitated to shell out $49 for it. Now having it for 1+ year I would strongly recommend this to anyone. It makes a world of difference on the fingers, and usage. Will not part with it anymore. Only minor issue is the cable come from the far side of the keyboard and juts out and cannot be made to run smoothly through the sides of the keyboard. Just demands unnecessary space and wish the designers had though this. Comes with Software that allows for customization of keys and colors. I use a KVM switch and connect the keyboard (and mouse) with Lenovo Windows and Apple Mac M1 Mini -- and everything works very well.
