The RGB keyboard for everyone
I picked this up to use across two systems as I recently started using a docked laptop as my daily driver. The usb-c connection makes swapping between systems as simple as swapping a single cable, meanwhile I can tuck the other cable away when not in use. This is replacing the alloy elite and this is my experience so far …Been using this board since late Feb 2021 and I love it. It has a much smaller footprint than the alloy elite while boasting pretty much all of the same features. At first the removal of the dedicated media keys, volume roller, and dedicated RGB keys was bothering me, but all of these functions are mapped to the function keys on this board. Not having those keys is actually the big thing I love about this board. It offers the same hyper x clicky switches that I love in a much more compact form factor.The build quality is great. The deck is all metal and super slim compared to the alloy elite as well as every other board I’ve used in the past. It’s close to logitech’s offerings as far as thinness goes, but without the extreme flex and terrible keycaps. The hyper x keycaps use standard mx stems so using pretty much any keycap set should fit these, though check the questions if you’re looking for specific compatibility.I removed the pudding keycaps from my alloy elite and swapped them over to these which … is a mixed bag. Overall I love the floating keycap design and the backlighting on this thing is both very bright and software accurate. I do miss the the legends printed on the FN keys that tell me which keys do what since I no longer have the dedicated media keys, but it took approximately a day to remember everything. Compared to the alloy elite this board seems much brighter overall. The lowest setting on these switches seems to be brighter than the highest setting on the elite, which could be a placebo effect but I don’t know. I can’t turn these up to max without it being painful to keep in my periphery. So RGB?? Fantastic on this board, especially with the pudding keycaps.I also really like the adjustable feet that offers you 3 different height adjustments. It’s pretty standard these days but I still love to see it.Another thing I love is the numlock/caps lock display. It’s positioned perfectly so that you can easily see at a glance which functions you have activated. This was not the case on the alloy elite. The display was placed too closely to the numpad meaning that unless you were sitting up very straight, are super tall, or leaned forward to look at it you could NOT tell what was on/off. This is a big improvement. It seems minor but it really bugged me on the elite.Not much else to say. Keycaps feel great, very stable and it has that satisfying bump I’m looking for in an mx-blue style switch. i love it.So everything about this keyboard is amazing, but it right now!! … oh wait … the softwareWell the software is pretty barebones, isn’t very streamlined, and still appears to be in beta from the MS store? I’m not sure as I didn’t install this on the computer I’m using right now. I used my old pc (desktop) to set this up since it already had the hyperx software (ngenuity i believe) installed, and it works well enough. While the colors of the keycaps are very accurate in terms of how close they are to what you see in the software you would not notice this with the stock keycaps. The black seems to shift the colors just a little bit so that they appear darker. With the pudding keycaps though they’re amazing. Can’t complain here. So yeah use the software once to customize your board, then uninstall it. There are plenty of effects to choose from whether you prefer static colors or moving effects … it all looks great.And with that yeah I think we’re done. This is a fantastic keyboard for anyone looking for a better overall typing experience. Do some research about switches, maybe order a sample pack of switches or something, to find the one that’s right from you, then go nuts. Great product, will definitely be buying hyper x again if they can maintain this level of quality and value. Good stuff

Fantastic mechanical TKL
I bought this with the HyperX blue switches to replace a Das Keyboard Pro 4 with Cherry MX Blue switches for work (I am a programmer). I loved the Das, it’s a solid workhorse and the clicky cherry blue switches are so satisfying, but it’s huge and I wanted something smaller so that I could position my keyboard directly in front of me without pushing my mouse way off to the right.Feel – When I got this keyboard, I put it next to the Das to compare the HyperX blue switches to the Cherry MX blues. There is a slight, noticeable difference. I would say that the cherry blues are _slightly_ crisper, but the difference is negligible. The HyperX blues are still plenty clicky and satisfying. I got used to this keyboard very quickly. I probably wouldn’t have noticed any difference if I didn’t have them side-by-side. No complaints here, it’s a joy to type on this keyboard.Noise – Yes it’s loud, that comes with the territory. The volume is comparable to the Das… however… I read other reviews that complained about “pinging” and didn’t know what they were talking about. This wasn’t a problem with the Das even after years of use. However, in the past few days (after a month of using this keyboard) I noticed that some keys, particularly the Tab and Ctrl keys, make a “pinging” noise after being pressed. It’s not as loud as the normal clicking noise of the keys and it depends how snappy and hard you tap the keys, but it’s there. It doesn’t really bother me but I could see how it might grate on some people’s nerves. You could always just turn on some music. :)Design – I love the compact form. There is no wasted space around the keys to needlessly take desk space. The key layout is the same as what I’m used to minus the number pad, no funky layout to make it more compact or cram in extra keys. The spacing feels slightly different compared to the Das; I guess the keys are slightly closer together? Not a big deal, I got used to it in maybe a week or two. It lacks USB ports to plug in other devices, but this wasn’t a big issue for me. Like any other mechanical keyboard it is a bit tall and I highly recommend getting a wrist rest like the Glorious Gaming wrist rest (don’t forget to get a TKL size).Lighting and software – This was low on my priorities, but I have to say the RGB lighting is cool. This keyboard is VERY BRIGHT. It has 4 brightness levels other than off (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) but even on the lowest setting at 25% it is quite bright. However you can dim the brightness to whatever level you want with the software. The software, despite all the complaints in other reviews, seems fine to me. It gives you a lot of flexibility for layered colors and effects that are very cool. I have no problems with it other than I wish it allowed you to load the settings from your keyboard to tweak them after you save them to the keyboard, but it does look like it has profiles that you can save and load in the software.Summary – This is a fantastic TKL layout mechanical keyboard that I would recommend for work or games. The blue switches are comparable to Cherry MX blues. However, if you can’t stand the “pinging” noise on some keys then you may want something higher quality.

Best Keyboard Ever!
I am not a gamer, but this keyboard has the best key depression feel and backlighting I have ever had by far. The available app allows very complete customization, but I had to reboot my Windows 11 PC to get the app to recognize the installed keyboard. It has many control features such as volume level, start & stop videos . . . . . . .Compared to other high end keyboards, the price is a bargain. The only deficiency is a less than complete instruction manual, but there are many supplementary videos available on Youtube. I haven’t used it for more than a few hours and will update this post as needed.

Es un teclado por precio calidad demasiado bueno y no es ligero, las teclas son fáciles de apretar y lo recomiendo ya que no ocupa mucho espacio. 100% para Gaming

As someone who doesn’t have the most money in the world, this keyboard was a great alternative to many other big brands. It feels great with the metal case, and the red switches sound good. The design is great, and the only downside is the switches aren’t hot swappable. The weight is heavy, which makes it have a more premium feel. Overall the keyboard is great for the price. I have different keycaps but the original ones feel great and have texture to increase grip.
Ótima Qualidade –
O teclado é incrível, construção muito bem feita, é meio pesado, para quem precisa ficar se locomovendo com ele, talvez possa incomodar um pouco pelo seu peso, mas em compensação a sua resistência é indiscutível, seu led é bom, mas acredito que pelo valor poderia ser um pouco ainda melhor, teclas excelentes e ótima resposta auditiva e tátil do switch red, além das suas teclas extras que deixam o teclado com um aspecto visual ainda mais bonito, da minha opinião, teclado recomendado!

This is a tough product to review as it certainly is subjective. I primarily purchased for gaming which has done wonders and given me more mouse space for my FPS games, and other games. It has adjustable feet with two different heights, and of course the standard height with the feet down. The keys are nice to type with besides gaming. It’s responsive and accurate. Obviously your missing a lot of dedicated buttons for volume which I use a lot but you can utilize FN to do the same thing, so this doesn’t bother me at all. I got the TKL so I can have more space on my desk and it does exactly that, so I have no qualms about it.The black frame does attract a lot of dust so mitigate this I just throw a towel over it when not in use or you can purchase one of those plastic keyboard covers to avoid this.It comes with a braided USB-C cable which is nice because it’s braided, and has a decent length in case your PC or whatever your connected to is a bit further away from your keyboard.I added the pudding caps and it made it 10x better with the RGB lighting. I’m super happy with how it turned out. Super simple to replace caps too.

Boa disposição de teclas (mais que suficiente pra mim que não faço questão de ter os numéricos à direita), switches silenciosos e bem responsivos, keycaps doubleshot de qualidade, software intuitivo e muito versátil para customizar o visual RGB
