A sleek mechanical keyboard for work and play. A surge in popularity of mechanical keyboards has seen plenty of gamers make the transition in favour of extended travel and precise actuation. Some would say that once you get accustomed to mechanical key switches, you'll wonder how you ever went without, but there is a counter argument. Mechanical keyboards are typically large, bulky affairs that don't lend themselves to a sleek, uncluttered desk.

The HyperX Alloy Elite RGB, for example, can be deemed stylish for a mechanical gaming keyboard, but it's still a sizeable piece of kit and isn't as refined as, say, a Microsoft Surface Keyboard. Is it possible to combine the key action of the former with the style of the latter? Tesoro reckons it has the answer to this admittedly niche predicament with the Gram XS.
