With the HyperX Alloy Elite RGB, the company's robust mechanical keyboard gets RGB illumination along with basic software support.
Good build quality; USB passthrough port; Easy-to-use software
Expensive; Weak keycap fit
Designed for gaming, typing, and dazzling all onlookers, the HyperX Alloy Elite RGB ($169.99) does an exceptional job at all three. Key feel is a big strength of this deluxe, pricey gaming keyboard; HyperX offers this keyboard in a choice of three different Cherry key-switch flavors. The model reviewed here comes equipped with Cherry MX Brown switches, a near-silent alternative to the Cherry MX Red (light-touch) and MX Blue (clicky, tactile) versions also available.
