“The Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS may not really innovate
But it’s still one of the best gaming keyboards we’ve tested in a long time. It doesn’t have a crazy amount of features
But with rock solid build quality and flawless performance
It’s sure to
No macros
Price
Neutral
The price may seem a little higher than most
But the build quality is to a much higher standard than most too
So it’s easily justified
“The HyperX Alloy FPS may not make you a world champion overnight
Ever since Kingston separated their HyperX brand to better cater towards gamers, I've had the opportunity to test quite a few of their new peripherals and despite HyperX getting into many of these product lines for the first time, most of their products h...
Good set of accessories, including a travel sleeve and replacement keycaps, Good build quality with a thick steel frame/plate, USB pass-through port available, and located in a useful position, Use of Cherry MX switches with excellent quality control, Min
Poor quality stock keycaps, Relatively expensive for what you get, Secondary legends not uniformly backlit
The HyperX Alloy FPS comes with options of Cherry MX Red, Brown, and Blue switches as well as several layouts. As of the date of this article, the ANSI layout costs $99.99 from retailers, including Amazon.com and Newegg in the USA. Good set of accessories...

Abstract: Kingston HyperX is a brand mostly known for their headsets, memory and solid state drives, so when I found out that they would be going into the keyboard making business, I did have a little bit of trepidation. I now have the HyperX Alloy FPS in my hands...

Kingston has already made its name in the PC market with its selection of memory products. Now Kingston is aiming to leave an impact in the pro gaming market. The HyperX Alloy FPS Mechanical gaming keyboard is the keyboard the pros expect. Compact design...
Solid build, Quieter Red switches, Multiple lighting options, Extra key caps are a very nice addition, Easy to transport with included mesh pouch
Would be nice to have some sort of macro or key-binding options
The HyperX Alloy FPS is still a very solid keyboard, in a compact and easy to transport package. Its red-switched version performs admirably, as did the blue-switched keyboard. Between the three available options — blue, brown, and red — there should be a...
There's no doubt in my mind that you'll see professional gamers on Twitch using this keyboard. It's rock solid, enjoyable to use, and well-built for travel or to forever sit on your desk. While the lack of RGB may have some looking for something else the...

Solid steel, open-frame design, Trim footprint, Cherry MX mechanical switches, Handsome appearance, Detachable, braided cord, Mobile-phone charging port
No configuration software, No dedicated media keys, ports for mic or headphone, Six-key rollover
If you don't mind the lack of complementary software and dedicated media keys, this moderately priced mechanical keyboard offers a thoughtful design and solid value. Read More...
Very slim footprint, Detachable mini-USB cable and travel bag for portability, Cherry MX switches
Only a few types of Cherry MX switches available, Few stand-out features, Detachable cable is too short for standing-desk purposes
It's not quite the industry-wide shakeup that resulted from the HyperX Cloud, but the HyperX Alloy is a fine debut. It's a competitively priced board with an attractive design, which is good enough for me.Whether it's good enough to stand out in the incre...
Experience with the HyperX Alloy FPS…There are minor differences which will make you appreciate this keyboard. Provided you want a good keyboard with a good build quality and keys' reliability, this is a great keyboard not just for gamers. That's the reas...
