Fantastic premium mechanical keyboard

Hands down, this keyboard is awesome. Being able to get it with the different switches ensures it'll be a great choice no matter which type of gamer you are. I'm coming from only having Razer keyboards up until I decided to try out their Ornata with the Mecha-membrane, which I got sick of. Switching over to HyperX was a decision I won't be going back from. Having the solid steel frame is awesome and helps in making the keyboard feel at the top of the premium keyboards, and finally having the RGB lighting effects adds on to the standard for gaming keyboards nowadays.
Pros:
Decent pricing (similar to the rest)
Steel frame for a good solid premium feel
RGB Lighting
Dedicated RGB and Media keys/Volume slider
Cool Light-bar underneath dedicated keys
Cons:
~Some sort of rubber key-caps - Trading my Alloy FPS for the Elite felt a little weird and not as "hard" (Honestly a preference thing)
RGB Software doesn't allow for layering effects like the other competitors (for now)
The included wrist rest is not a cushion as I became used to with other keyboards, but a solid textured/rubber rest (Still comfortable but I don't feel a need to use that one)

HyperX keyboards are generally really good, this keyboard offers pretty much a very nice quality full set of keys and is easy to change lighting effects via the onboard controls.

It's heavy and the mechanical cherry red switches feel great. The customizations offered with the downloadable hyper x software are easy to figure out, but I wish it was a bit more layered. Either way you can pretty much get everything you want from an RGB keyboard. The volume dial feels premium and is very handy. The metal seems durable . This thing is a joy to game on. Very easy to get used to. Definitely worth the price.

Keyboard Decent with a few flaws

Keyboard design was nice, loved the media controls and volume built into the keyboard. Cutting to the chase of the biggest flaw, spacebar sticks. When pressing it down, it doesn't always come right back up all the way. Though they key can be pressed down again it doesn't feel like it registers. So in high intense situations it feels awful pressing it.
If you want a good keyboard do not get this one, the alloy FPS keyboard is a great one.

Good but get the GSP

Keys repeat characters when pressed for single letter. "L" likes typing lll instead of l. This seems to be a constant thing for KHX gaming keyboards as my Alloy FPS was having the same problem.
