Review on HyperX Alloy FPS RGB - Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with ๐ŸŽฎ Controlled Light & Macro Customization, Silver Speed Switches, and RGB LED Backlit by Rachel Flores

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Almost perfect for gaming keyboards

Edit 12/29/2018: Upgraded to 5 stars. The earlier issues are so minor compared to the build quality of this keyboard. Edit 2017-11-24: Unfortunately I had to remove the asterisk: ;:, .> and the right alt keys don't light up. In fact, it seems that when you press these keys, the ones to the right of them are highlighted, as if these keys have a double assignment. The best thing about this keyboard is the many backlight modes and no software is required. customize them. Each key has an individually addressable backlight, unlike cheaper keyboards that are only backlit. It Off-1-2-3-4 levels of brightness. There are six different modes including a few I've never seen on a keyboard such as B. Light coming from a single button press. Other interesting things: steel frame, detachable USB cable (!), red braided cable to match backlight, very compact, sturdy rubber base, keycaps are more square than some of my other keyboards (yes, I have a few ;-) , which is just great looks professional and doesn't feel like a toy. I use Cherry MX Red switches and they feel great even if the response isn't harsh or soft. If I could give 4.9 stars I would: There is a small typographical issue on the keys. It has a non-standard horizontal arrangement of things. like 1! Instead of ! be below 1. But if you're touch typing, it doesn't matter.

  • Good thing
Cons
