HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston, entered the mechanical keyboard market in 2016 with the Alloy FPS - which this reviewer found to be well constructed and a great value relative to the market when I reviewed both versions last year. Enter the Alloy Elite, an impressive-looking keyboard that boasts a high level of build quality and the option of full RGB lighting (a single color variant is also available). Does the Elite live up to its name in everyday use? I will share my findings with the RGB version reviewed here.

Features (from HyperX):

Unique light bar and dynamic lighting effects
Solid steel frame
CHERRY® MX mechanical keyswitches
Dedicated media buttons and large volume wheel
Quick access buttons for brightness, lighting effects and Game Mode
Conveniently connect devices via USB 2.0 pass-through

Additional titanium-colored textured keycaps and HyperX keycap removal tool
