Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around alloy (5.00 of 5)

  • Blue especially never looked quite right on the K70 LUX, but on the Alloy Elite RGB is looks more vibrant and true blue
  • Having said all of that, I actually think the HyperX Alloy Elite RGB is even better
  • The wrist rest on the Alloy Elite RGB is also really nice
  • On the Alloy elite RGB, the mx reds are actually fairly
  • For this review, I'll be comparing the HyperX Alloy Elite RGB against the Corsair K70 LUX RGB

Reviews around rest (5.00 of 5)

  • Finally, the detachable wrist rest is an added bonus and definitely eases the strain on my hand when gaming
  • Personally, I'm happy I spent the extra 10 dollars as I love the wrist rest
  • I'm probably complaining about something trivial, but for me I love a good padded wrist rest and at this price point I was expecting more
  • It's comfortable to use with a nice wrist rest and the great keys
  • Comfortable, detachable wrist rest with soft-touch coating

Reviews around build (5.00 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around rgb (5.00 of 5)

  • 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)

Reviews around feel (4.59 of 5)

  • I like the feel of the keys and the keyboard’s quick responsiveness so much that I use it for writing and other work every day, not just gaming
  • The feel of the keys makes the keyboard a complete joy to use
  • This keyboard is very comfortable to use, I love the feel of the wrist rest
  • Solid, works well, feel of keys is excellent and has a good palm rest.
  • It's solid, doesn't have a cheap feel, the red led is really nice, everything has been working fine and the keys don't feel very "mushy" in a sense

Reviews around product (4.45 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around light (4.21 of 5)

  • Finally, the detachable wrist rest is an added bonus and definitely eases the strain on my hand when gaming
  • I previously had a corsair k70 then a logitech g pro (great keyboard too) then when I saw this come out in a cherry blue option I had to have it

Reviews around key (2.78 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around software (2.18 of 5)

  • 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.
