  • Garish backlighting, So-so pricing
  • HyperX hasn't been producing keyboards for very long, which only makes it more impressive that the Alloy Elite is so good. While it's not as deeply customizable as some of its competitors, and the backlighting will not suit everyone's taste, its fundament...

  • There is no doubt in my mind about recommending this keyboard for you to purchase. Priced at $109.99, it's only an additional $10 over its little brother Alloy FPS. Plus, I find the Elite edition to be better in every single way.The build quality of the E...
