HyperX Alloy Core RGB – Membrane Gaming Keyboard (US Layout)

Great keyboard. First time getting something in this price range, blew me away.

Keyboard itself is fantastic for a membrane keyboard. It feels very solid, I would say for gaming experience is much better that typing experience which is a bit a bummer for me as I'm not a gamer. The keys are a little stiff for typing, but nothing extreme I could not get used to. I have couple of mechanical keyboards with brown and blue switches and this keyboard definitely feels harder to type than those. It is more tactile but not unpleasant. The key travel is ok, key caps size and the ergonomics is fantastic. It feels really smooth to touch, it is not loud, rather the opposite. It is heavy, rock solid, doesn't dance around the desk when accidentally pushed with elbow or notepad. In this respect and this price range it must be one of the best on the market. Unfortunately all the good work on the ergonomic side is let down by mediocre backlight. There are two versions of RBG called aurora and solid red (quite bright actually). Both versions go with and without animation effect. Only two levels of brightness control. The brighter feels way too bright even in the sunny afternoon. But the worst thing is an audible sound of cheap capacitors inside. The last thing you want from your keyboard - especially quiet one - is to make it whining noises. Of course it is louder with full brightness, but can be heard even on the least bright settings. The animation effects are particularly annoying as it goes on and off as the animation progresses. This is not an issue for a gamer, especially with headphones, but if you are a programmer working in the night in quiet room it is definitely something you will hear. This would be split rating. For gaming it is 5 start, for typing it is 3 stars. For me it is a no because of the audible capacitor sounds.

Decided to return as it's not what I was hoping for. Keyboard is quite large and keys are tall and noisy. lights cannot be turned off either.

So as the headline says, this keyboard was broken on arrival, whoever wired it up has caused a feedback error inside the lights. Whenever the LGB lights come on the keyboard makes a whining noise the ENTIRE time. Now I can live without lights so I just turned them off and carried on as usual. It's now broke on me.. This is one of the most over price pieces of crap I have ever purchased on this entire website. AVOID

Snel geleveerd. Prachtig achtergrond kleuren. Heel goed voor gamen en andere programs. Zeker aanrader!

I have tried a lot of keyboards, from high end to budget, trying to find the right one. I am not a gamer. I primarily write papers for school, so I need something comfortable, quiet, and easy to type on. The HyperX Alloy Core RGB is the first keyboard that immediately felt right. It is quiet, comfortable, and very easy to type on. The RGB looks amazing, and the controls are simple and located in the top left corner. This keyboard is plug and play. No software is needed for any of the lighting controls. The brightness button is the top left key and cycles through off, low, and high. The middle button switches through the built in lighting modes. These include solid color, fade, zones, rolling rainbow, quick flash, fast color cycle, and more. The third button is Game Mode. FN and F12 lock the keyboard itself. The keyboard has a good height and feels stable. The keys seemed slippery at first, but they feel normal now. I did a quick typing test and reached 52 WPM with 100 percent accuracy after only a few minutes of using it. The keyboard has feet on the bottom so you can tilt it slightly. The dedicated media keys and volume buttons on the top right are convenient. The braided USB cord feels durable. The color is exactly as pictured. The keyboard is quiet, comfortable, and has a great typing feel. I have only had it a short time and I am already considering buying a backup. This is a great keyboard for anyone who wants quiet keys, easy controls, strong RGB, and a comfortable typing experience.

Perfectas!

Cons 1) doesn't have per key rgb lighting for the jazzy disco effect , but I didnt want that in the first place 2) the keys are a little wobbly so you know it's not super expensive. 3) there's no sound feedback from the keys but it really doesn't matter to me . I am extremely satisfied with this product for my build .
