  • Well built (steel frame), Cherry MX mechanical switches, Fills basic gamer(s) needs
  • No macro functions, Only red LEDs

  • Abstract:  If you are familiar with APH Networks, you would have realized we typically publish articles on Fridays. Now, I typically do not write about the date of which a review is published in its introduction, but how can I not if the date happens to be April 20t...

  • Abstract:  Last Friday, after harmlessly using my phone placing it down on my desk to continue working, I noticed the phone was rebooting. Thinking something was strange, I picked it up and the phone showed a pure blue screen. Unfortunately, this was the death of my...

  • Like the Alloy FPS, HyperX's Alloy Elite RGB is a perfectly fine keyboard. The only real issue is that it's a perfectly fine keyboard in an ever-more-crowded market. It doesn't undercut the competition on price the way G.Skill has, nor does it have a stan...

  • Solid design, Lovely RGB lighting, Comfortable wrist rest
  • A firmware update. Really, Slight case of not working
  • A great keyboard in and of itself, but stupidly expensive and prone to software issues

  • Like the Alloy FPS before it, the Alloy Elite is designed with gaming in mind, but it still remains a good typists keyboard if that's what you're after. Our review unit contained the ultra-responsive Cherry MX Reds, which are commonly used in gaming keybo...

  • We appreciate the looks and styling of the Alloy Elite, and even though there is much to do with the LED stripe across the top edge, in normal use, the user may never see it. The trio of buttons on the left used to address lighting intensity, modes, and e...
