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!

Perfectas!

There's a need to write down a review for this keyboard since it if for people with specific requirements . Also this is for the membrane keyboard .Pros -1) Top quality keyboard , the whole frame is very sturdy and really well built .2) Out of the box plug and play with no issues whatsoever , identified immediately on windows 103) very very classy , along with that shiney steel hyperx logo and grooves below the space bar and the sides .4) lighting is top notch , you get 5 zones and you can change how you want it from the keyboard itself with a dedicated on off and switching button and specific Fn changes for speed , style etc .5) really nice wire that looks quite sturdy .6) dedicated media control buttons , for in game use.7) well spaced out keys .8) it was meant for my budget , for this price either you have this or the Logitech membrane if want a classy membrane keyboard that does the job .Cons1) doesn't have per key rgb lighting for the jazzy disco effect , but I didnt want that in the first place2) 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 .

Llevo más de un mes con éste teclado. Lo compré basado en relación calidad/precio. El teclado no es mecánico sin embargo se siente de calidad, personalmente lo siento que puede ser un poco ruidoso, nada del otro mundo sin embargo, es pesado y el material es bueno. El Rgb se activa y desactiva con un botón y puedes seleccionar los modos de igual forma. Sin duda lo recomiendo si estas iniciando tu set up o si simplemente buscas un buen teclado y a un buen precio. Sin duda lo volvería a comprar. Tal vez después haga al upgrade al Élite alloy porque era el que originalmente buscaba, pero no creo deshacerme de este teclado en un buen rato.

Really nice to type on.
