Finally, you can choose to set a lighting preset to any of these zones if you prefer something a little spicier than a solid color, as well as use the Customize button to create your own zone template. Not so glorious to be honest, they are plastic with rubber pads on them, if you use your keyboard on a rough surface I wouldn’t recommend moving it around too much because if you don't lift it up, they will come out with force. Fourth, investing in custom keycaps, black and white pudding keycaps are fine but using the same font would be really great and will show people that it’s a HyperX product and not a relabelled set. On the other hand, there was a side-effect from this effective speed increase as I made more typos than usual when using this for writing – sloppy strikes that brushed other keys actually caused them to actuate sometimes, and I would type both keys at once. Please provide your contact information and any other relevant details and a member of our team will contact you shortly.

It comes with a detachable wrist rest and has dedicated media keys, a volume wheel, and a USB passthrough. Each switch has an LED at the back which is outside of the body, and is placed under the legends on the keycaps.The award-winning HyperX brand has carved its name atop the leaderboard by consistently delivering products that deliver superior comfort, aesthetics, performance, and reliability. This can also be done in software, but when in the moment, a need may arise that you don't have the time to open the software.

You can set up your own lighting schemes in the terribly named but functional NGenuity software, including synchronising with other HyperX peripherals such as the Pulsefire FPS Pro mouse.

Having such a high actuation point and light pressure, they’re easy to accidentally press, even from sloppy movements across the keyboard. Featuring an exposed LED on the key switch, customizable lighting effects, and five brightness levels. That means you can pick up after-market keycap sets (including HyperX’s own pudding caps) from anywhere and customise the look and feel of the keyboard to your liking – something not possible with many Razer and Corsair keyboards, which use different key sizes on the bottom row. In-game, it felt almost as if my keyboard was reacting before I did, which helped ensure I could drop a grenade before I died in Halo Online and deliver justice from beyond the grave. I personally don’t use the numpad with any great regularity, so I prefer the space savings and more ergonomic hand position afforded by keyboards that omit the numpad such as the (non-RGB) Alloy FPS Pro.

However, when playing PUBG, we also noticed the ugly side of having a keyboard with soft springs and short throw.This is likely due to the limited support in the bottom half of the fame, and whether flat or on its extended feet, the noise and feeling was there. The standard Alloy FPS comes with red backlighting, but the Alloy FPS RGB model I’m testing comes with full per-key RGB support.
