This time, HyperX, a brand we are familiar with for PC accessories like a mouse, headset, and microphone, includes a keyboard. The HyperX Alloy Elite 2 keyboard, which is quiet and sports new-generation keys, is the subject of our review

Design

 A red and white package holds HyperX Alloy Elite. The product is depicted in an image on the box. In the box’s upper right corner, we can find sentences in RGB and Red Linear. The PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms that our keyboard is compatible with are highlighted in the bottom left corner of the box.
 
A “Welcome to the HyperX family” message, a user guide, and a support guide may be found within the keyboard’s box when it is opened. Our HyperX Alloy Elite 2 keyboard’s package does not accommodate the key cleaning brush and key remover that are typically included with keyboards.

As soon as we set the keyboard down on our desk, we can tell that HyperX has a very sleek and straightforward design. RGB lighting subtly draws our attention as we insert the keyboard into the computer. Under the keyboard’s keys, HyperX has positioned a little piece that resembles ice. This component improves the RGB lighting spread and adds aesthetic appeal.

The multimedia keys are located in the keyboard’s upper right corner. The potentiometer is positioned in a spherical shape at the upper right. The potentiometer can be turned indefinitely, and doing so makes you feel happy. In games that you’ve been waiting for a while, like GTA V, you can use the potentiometer.

There are four separate buttons immediately to the left of the potentiometer. The previous multimedia is set to start-stop, followed by the next multimedia and mute. These are listed from left to right.

On our keyboard, at the very left corner, are three keys. The leftmost key lets you turn up the RGB light intensity on your keyboard, the middle key lets you choose between two distinct color settings for your keyboard, and the rightmost key locks Windows.

ABS strong plastic is used to make our keyboard. We refer to the design structure of the keys’ overall layout as Pudding. Our keyboard is 1530 grams in weight. We might consider it to be a rather typical weight for this keyboard. We have an issue with the keyboard’s case. The keyboard’s steel shell makes it easy for fingerprints to reflect off of the corners and leave numerous ones there.

Our HyperX Alloy Elite keyboard’s keys can be changed in color using the “HyperX NGENUITY” program, which we can obtain from the Microsoft Store. We still favor having their own installation files available on their website.

You typically have access to 8–10 various color options in HyperX NGENUITY. All of these colors have speed and slowness options. Even the rotation can be altered to be up and down. All of the keyboard’s keys can also be given the name “Macro.”

Our keyboard’s keys, HyperX Alloy Elite, are a little challenging to disassemble. As a result, as we stated at the outset, we anticipated finding the key remover in the box. The spacers must be removed after the keys, which is also a time-consuming process.
