The HyperX Alloy Elite Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is the perfect keyboard for the gamer that values both ...
The lighting on this board is just as good as on the K70 LUX
But with the advancement in tech, I thought it was time I move to a modern keyboard featuring Cherrys and other useful enhancements.
It might not be quite as comfortable as my DAS Keyboards but it combines quality mechanical switch keys with a modern feature/gimmick set to make for a keyboard both good for gaming and typing
From someone that goes through both the enthusiast, gaming, and typist keyboard market, this keyboard has been pleasantly surprising, it has superb build quality, and after pulling out and lubing the switches it feels like any normal Cherry MX keyboard except having a large amount of really surprisingly useful features such as the media keys, a mode that prevents you from closing out of certain programs both in and out of gaming

A very sturdy, well built keyboard that's extremely responsive!
I like well built products and this keyboard does not disappoint
You may want to consider buying a switch tester if you want a more comprehensive idea of how different switches will feel.-------------------------tl;dr Nice build quality apart from minor spacebar rattle

I personally don't miss RGB on my keyboard though, I find it too distracting
So I originally bought the Alloy Elite RGB cherry MX Brown from Amazon and was not very pleased.
He told me that most of the reasons for his wanting it are on the product page, but I'll repeat them here for you:Unique radiant light bar and dynamic RGB lighting effects
I'll explain the areas where I feel the Elite RGB tops the K70 LUX.HyperX has been killing it in the PC peripheral game the last few years
But with a single pattern (i.e., no keypress pattern), you can set any color to each individual key, or groups of keys, for all lighting patterns (i.e., solid, breathing, wave, trigger, explosion, HyperX flame).All in all, this keyboard has just about everything I could hope for, and for the things it doesn't, they're easily dealt with (i.e., fingerprints wipe off easy) or things I wouldn't use (i.e., wrist wrest to save desk space, flashier rgb patterns because they'd distract me)

The keyboard looks very new like it said in the description and the clicks feel very smooth and satifying, overall the product is very great and others should buy it!
I went ahead and bought the same exact board from Best Buy in hopes of a better product.
I am running Win 10, no problems recognizing it, and loading drivers....great product, really enjoy all the features for my use....
Would not recommend the product
I really enjoy this product and think it's definitely a step above keyboards such as a the Corsair K70.

The lighting is so clean, One of the best looking rgb options for a cherry mx keyboard

The lighting is very nice and makes the keys easily visible.
Much less LED light bleed out of the bottom of the keys onto the keyboard base plate

Just by installation it has a game-mode switch that disables the windows key
Only issue is it can get dust inbetween the keys quickly and its hard to clean, i recommend an air duster, but really any keyboard will have this issue
With one KVM switch, the keyboard behaved as a mouse, moving the cursor when any key was struck
The keys aren't clunky and the key sounds are pleasant also.
The keys just feel so good to use and the textured surfaces are a nice touch.

The software is a bit awkward but you can find plenty of instructions on YouTube (from HyperX)
The first is rainbow wave, which is just as nice as that found on e K70 LUX
The lighting on this board is just as good as on the K70 LUX
The free software which you can download from HyperX's website allows you to create your own custom layouts and save them.
The controls are laid out nicely and the keyboard backlighting can be customized easily from the buttons on the keyboard eliminating any need for complex software.
