  • The HyperX Alloy Elite is overall a natural evolution of HyperX's mechanical keyboard lineup. Kingston realized that while eSports gamers want a more back to basics mechanical keyboard, others demand keyboards that offer more functionality, and what Hyper...

  • No configuration software or macro editor, No mic/headphone ports, Uncomfortable hard-plastic wrist rest

  • Solid design with steel frame, Cherry MX mechanical key switches (Red, Brown, Blue options), 18 LED light bar at the top of the keyboard, Included wrist rest, Extremely comfortable
  • Not RGB backlit, No configuration software
  • The Alloy Elite is a great entry into the gaming keyboard segment for the HyperX brand. it is a more versatile keyboard that the previously released Alloy FPS and seems to have a better design as well. You really can't go wrong with a solid steel frame an...

  • Kingston released the HyperX Alloy Elite as a step forward from the Alloy FPS, a gaming keyboard that was designed to be minimalistic, compact and easy to carry around. The Alloy Elite is a design that ditches the portability for additional practical feat...
