  • Excellent build quality, Includes Cherry MX Red mechanical switches, Dedicated media controls
  • No dedicated macro keys, Captive USB cable
  • As you can see, the HyperX Alloy Elite is in a highly competitive league and you're not short of options at around this price. But, while it lacks RGB backlighting, this is otherwise the perfect gaming keyboard.At £96, you'll be hard-pressed to find a mor...

  • If you need a light bar on your mechanical gaming keyboard but don't want or need extra macro keys, the HyperX Alloy Elite RGB is a high-quality option. But competing options feel more polished overall.7/10£149.99AmazonMOREHow We Test Mechanical Keyboar...

  • Simple, ergonomic design, Colorful, diffused RGB lighting, Preloaded with game profiles
  • RGB lighting hikes price, Build quality betrays price point, Underbaked software
  • The Alloy Elite RGB is a full-featured peripheral with all the lighting, media keys and features worthy of being HyperX's flagship gaming keyboard. However, if you look a little outside of the company's lineup, you'll find other options like the Corsair K...

  • Kingston's gaming orientated brand, HyperX, are developing products with pace, with a rate of progression that must be commended. Their headsets receive huge praise, as do their mice, and now their latest keyboard seems to round out that trio perfectly.Th...
