    So far seems way better made than the Razor-X. I went through a few exchanges of the Razor X similiar gaming model within a year. I finally got sick of it and picked this one up.

    he HyperX Alloy Rise is a full-size wired mechanical gaming keyboard that promises a blend of customization, performance, and aesthetics. With its hot-swappable switches, magnetic top plates, customizable RGB lighting, and a solid frame, it aims to be a versatile keyboard that caters to both gamers and enthusiasts. However, does it live up to its ambitious claims? Let's delve into a comprehensive review to find out. Design and Build Quality The Alloy Rise boasts a sturdy aluminum frame that feels solid and durable. Its full-size layout provides a spacious typing experience with dedicated media controls and a volume wheel, which are convenient additions. The keycaps are made of double-shot PBT plastic, known for their longevity and resistance to shine. However, the legends on the keycaps could be a bit clearer, especially in low-light conditions. The magnetic top plates are a unique feature, allowing you to easily swap them for different colors or designs. While this is a novel concept, the available options might feel limited to some users. The keyboard's hot-swappable switches are a major highlight, enabling you to change the switches without soldering. This opens up a world of possibilities for customizing your typing experience. However, the process of swapping switches can be a bit fiddly, requiring some patience and precision. Performance Out of the box, the Alloy Rise comes equipped with HyperX Red linear switches. These switches are smooth and responsive, offering a satisfying typing experience for both gaming and productivity. The 8000 Hz polling rate ensures low latency, making the keyboard feel incredibly fast and responsive. The stabilizers on the larger keys, such as the spacebar and enter key, are well-tuned, minimizing any rattling or unwanted noise. In terms of gaming performance, the Alloy Rise excels. The linear switches offer a consistent and predictable actuation, making them ideal for fast-paced games. The keyboard's N-key rollover and anti-ghosting technology ensure that every key press is registered, even when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously. Software and Customization The Alloy Rise utilizes HyperX's NGENUITY software for customization. While the software is user-friendly, it lacks some advanced features found in other keyboard software. The RGB lighting options are decent, with various effects and per-key customization available. However, the software could benefit from more granular control over lighting zones and effects. The macro recording feature is straightforward and allows you to assign macros to any key. However, the software doesn't offer any advanced scripting or macro editing capabilities. One notable feature is the keyboard's ability to save up to three profiles directly on the device. This is handy for users who want to switch between different lighting and macro settings without relying on the software. Value for Money The Alloy Rise is a premium keyboard with a price tag to match. While it offers excellent build quality, performance, and customization options, the price might be a deterrent for some users. There are other mechanical keyboards on the market that offer similar features at a lower price point. However, if you prioritize build quality and the ability to hot-swap switches, the Alloy Rise might be worth the investment.
