HyperX used to be considered the gaming division of Kingston solely because their system memory and solid state drives offered the high performance that you needed to power a serious gaming computer. While those products are still what I would consider the core business of HyperX, they now offer other items that should also appeal to gamers. We have looked at a few of their gaming headsets in recent reviews, and this time around we will be looking at their first gaming keyboard.

The HyperX Alloy FPS mechanical gaming keyboard is shown in the promotional image above, and from this view you may not be able to see how unique it really is. While it offers plenty of the features that gamers demand, it offers some interesting twists that should appeal to plenty of users in the market for a new keyboard. Before taking a look at the sample provided for review, let's take a look at some of the published data on the Alloy, as taken from the official product page on the HyperX website.
