  • Crystal-clear Cherry MX RGB lighting, Dedicated media controls, including a volume wheel, Software is 100% optional, and HyperX won't nag you about it
  • Flimsy wrist rest, Oversized footprint, with a lot of empty space, The software (somehow) weighs in at over 1.1GB after install

  • Excellent build quality, Light bar colors blend well, Standard bottom row allows keycap replacement,
  • Aging USB 2.0 passthrough port, Software UI can be clunky, Keycaps will show finger grease and shine quickly
  • 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$169...

  • Abstract:  Investing in a good gaming keyboard is akin to buying a good steering wheel. No matter how amazing your car may be, it's worthless if you can't drive it properly. A high-quality keyboard can ensure that every one of your commands are executed flawlessly a...

  • The first ALLOY Elite mechanical gaming keyboard by HyperX is still one of the highest quality models to ever reach our lab so there's really not much more we can say about the updated RGB model. Build quality is once again excellent, the dedica...

  • Authentic Cherry MX keys, Beautiful design, Discrete media keys, Great performance
  • Software needs some work, Typing requires some practice
  • The HyperX Alloy Elite keyboard is a beautiful, colorful peripheral with top-of-the-line key switches and a sleek aesthetic. The unoptimized software keeps the keyboard from reaching the upper echelons of gaming-keyboard greatness, but this HyperX comes p...
