Review on HyperX Alloy FPS Pro Tenkeyless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Compact & Clicky with Cherry MX Blue - Red LED Backlit! by Chong Fred ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

The "remote work" came, I sat at home tightly in the editors and IDEA, my neck ached, my eyes began to get tired, I began to pay attention to the landing in the chair and the distance to the monitor. The main keyboard I have is a Logitech G13 retractable under the table and at some point I realized that I could not type quickly on it due to the low position of my hands. In addition, in order to pull out the keyboard, I have to move further in my chair, and if at this moment I also type text, my eyes begin to strain a lot. And I could just pull the keyboard out onto the table and work with it like everyone else, but there are back-to-back places on the table, there is a Genius Ergo Media 500 gamepad on the left and a mouse on the right. It's useful to read reviews of keyboards, I found this one. Liked the minimalism. I looked at the competitors, I realized that there are almost none. Only cherry buttons were embarrassing, which I have not used since the 90s. But I went and bought it at a discount, although as for me, 6500r for a keyboard is not an apple, it's expensive. I connected the keyboard, found the correct position of the hands with emphasis on the table. I tried to feel to determine which buttons are which. It turned out that you can use as a guide for the right hand, a block of cursor arrows, which is well located with your fingers. A couple of times I tried to switch to the old clave, I tilt my head, I immediately feel pain in my neck. The reason is clear. The last few paragraphs on the new clave have already been typed almost blindly. As for me, the accustomization of the keyboard is good, the distance between the buttons is quite comfortable. Of the minuses, there is no palm rest, but it's not scary, you can put the keyboard a little sideways, it fits on any table. But the volume of typing, not very pleased. Although they write that for this type of keys, this is the norm. On the MacBook with its butterfly, I also hammered loudly at first, and then I got used to pressing softly and quietly. In games, I do not plan to use it, but for programming, we'll see. Games, they don't feed :-) The question of protecting the keyboard from moisture remains open. I poured two claves and one laptop with cocktails before putting the clave under the table :-)

Pros
  • Solid weight, compact size, detachable cable, different backlight modes, including individual buttons. The cable itself gives the impression of soundly made, as well as the keyboard itself.
Cons
  • Compared to a MacBook, the key travel is too big. The rumble from pressing is such that you won’t work much at night when someone is sleeping nearby. Too bright backlight, you can actually use only one mode, the weakest. The cord is stiff.
