HyperX Alloy FPS Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (US Layout), Cherry MX Red

I'm English so the fact that this only comes with a U.S layout is a shame. It doesn't stop me from changing it to UK layout in system settings though. Works a treat. I'm an old-time BZFlag player, for those who don't know it's an old advanced tank FPS game from the 90s. I need everything to fit under my fingers perfectly with an extremely high demand for the fastest response time available allowing me to dodge and kill my enemies at ease. These red switches help especially when the bullet velocity and super flag weapons have been set blindingly quick, I can move in a blink of an eye with this keyboard and it's not just the red switches. Not too much bling, good lighting that doesn't dazzle you, good quality keycaps, I have seen better, but these basically fit the rest of the keyboard's build quality. Not the best, but definitely not the worst and will last nearly as long as you want them to. This keyboard has never let me down and never distracted me once. In regards to the people saying the backplate is flimsy, they're wrong. I gently smashed it over my knee and it didn't flex. Also, anything thicker than what it has would be a little weird. The join between the plate and the plastic bottom shell makes a smooth transition and you wouldn't notice that the rest is plastic until you tap on it. Accustics are nice too. If you're the person that wants the keycaps to feel like the steering wheel of a Bently then don't bother. If you're looking for a sturdy keyboard that will last and has easily replaceable keycaps and possibly something that's portable, you might like this. If you're looking for a cheap tenkeyless keyboard and are eying this one but it's a little out of your price range then save the extra twenty pounds. Especially if you aren't picky. If you're like me, looking for something that literally does what it says on the tin, practical, and does what it says to more than what I initially expected from it, it's a great keyboard. Glad I didn't buy the Bloody I was going to. Makes a nice change from Corsair keyboards. Not that I have an issue with them since I've only owned a K30. The worst piece of plastic I ever set eyes on after less than a year's use. This though.. I've had it coming to three times longer now and it's still good as new.

This is a great TKL keyboard and it boasts excellent build quality. It’s hefty and solid. The solid red per-key LEDs are ideal, and have a few modes. As an aside - Red is the only RGB colour I used on my previous RGB KB, anyway. If you’re of the same ilk, then save some cash and get this over it’s successor. The Cherry MX Red linear keys can take a little getting used to if you are used to a keyboard with some kind of tactile feedback; such as membrane (like me). Do not expect any resistance before a key press has been registered. For example: If you type soft, or slowly, enough, you can literally type silently. Overall, it doesn’t have that horrible mushy feeling you get with a membrane, but also doesn’t have that loud, audible *clack* you get from other mechanical keys. This KB can be used for typing and gaming, but you just need to be careful about resting your fingers on the keys. The U.S layout isn’t an issue. Inserting a, ‘£’ sign takes a Shift-Alt key press to switch to a U.K. Layout in Windows. Problem solved. Either way, if you’re in the market for a solid-built TKL keyboard with red LEDs then buy this, right now.

So this is the first review I've ever done on Amazon as I really felt that this product warranted it. By far it's the best keyboard I have ever purchased. In the past I've always used membrane keyboards, but more recently I wanted to try out a mechanical one as I'd heard good things about them. I know this is incredibly geeky, but I also love the sound mechanical keyboards make when you're typing. This thing feels and sounds beautiful. It's lovely to type and game with. The light features are also a nice touch. Although I don't think I'll be changing from the standard back-lit keys, it's still nice to show other people what it can do. I also really like the fact that there's no driver download/install required, it's quite literally plug in and play. I only have a few gripes with this, as you can see though this hasn't changed my 5 star score. The first is the fact that this product didn't offer a UK layout version, I found myself struggling to find a few keys where I'd normally expect to find them. It wasn't enough to put me off buying the product though. The only other gripe I have is that I'm really struggling with the enter key, it's much smaller and is slightly differently placed than my previous keyboard, so that's going to take some getting used to as well. Obviously they couldn't have avoided this as the keyboard is just the right size in my opinion.

I'm not really sure how this is an FPS Pro gaming keyboard. It's just a regular tenkeyless keyboard with some LEDs, but it is actually a good keyboard. The detachable braided cable is nice and has been reliable. The key caps are nothing special, but haven't started to get shiney, dull or worn after a couple of months of use. The actual build quality of the keyboard feels great. It's a nice hefty chunk of steel and I have had no issues with quality. The mechanical key switches are what you expect from Cherry, no issues with them at all. One issue I've had with the keyboard is that sometimes the software controlling the LEDs glitches out and the keyboard needs resetting, but this is actually a pretty rare occurrence since I don't really mess around with all the different LED settings. Other owners have reported that their keys also stop responding, but I think I've only had this issue whilst using the keyboard on macOS, and was easily fixed by resetting the keyboard with two buttons.

Tastiera solida ed esteticamente bella. Materiali di prima scelta, tasti cherry mx rossi, che offrono una esperienza di feedback tattile piacevole. Retroilluminazione dei tasti che li rende oltremodo visibili. Ottimo il prezzo da parte del venditore da cui ho acquistato.

Ich bin vermutlich nicht der typsche Nutzer einer Tastatur dieser Art. Fuer mich war wichtigt dass sie erstens ein us layout hat (ich prgrammiere viel und das hilft ungemein) und zweitens, dass ich eine gute "typing experience" habe. Daher war fuer mich klar es muessen cherry MX blues sein. Sie haben einen wunderbaren taktilen Anschlag und diesen befriediegenden "klick". Benutzt man diese Tastatur also zum schreiben kann ich sie nur empfehlen die verarbeitung ist auf apple Niveau nur mit einen deutlich besseren anschlag und einen besseren tipp gefuehl (obwohl die apple tastaturen auch ok sind) dazu ist sie noch gute 30-40 Euro billieger. Davor hatte ich eine Logitech G413 carbon mit roma switches (allerdings waren die nicht taktil sondern linear also kein klick). Waehrend ich sagen muss fuer leute die nur spielen (insbesonders sachen wie CS GO) sind lineare switches besser da man die nicht komplett los lassen muss damit sie wieder einen anschlag regestrieren allerding ist die Erfahrung beim tippen deutlich weniger befriedigend. Das alles soll nicht heissen, Cherry mx Blues nicht zum spielen geignet sind. Also Fazit Jemand der eine hochwertige Tastatur sucht mit top verarbeitung wunderbaren taktilen feadback (fuer das Buero wuerde ich das allerdings nicht empfehlen da sie laut sind) wird hier fuendig solange die betreffende person kein rgb braucht und nur mir r zufrieden ist. Das ist der einzige minus punkt der tastatur. Waherend das desing sonst sehr professionell ist, ist die rote hintergrundbeleuchtung schon grenzwertig hier haette ich mir wenigstens eine weisse option gewuenscht aber man kann nicht alles haben.

Very quiet clicks with an elegant design.

First I have to say, this keyboard is GREAT! It arrived way sooner than it was supposed to have arrived and is perfect in every way. [Note: This is my first mechanical keyboard] First impressions: The keyboard has a nice weight to it, not too heavy but not too light that you can easily push it around on accident. The rubber pads under the keyboard were nice, good quality and the keyboard does not move when gaming unless you forcefully try to move it. The switches are great! Nice and light, doesn't take much to acuate them, and are perfect for gaming. The lighting modes are awesome and add a nice flair to the keyboard. Overall a very good buy!

A mi gusto es un poco ruidoso ya que lo uso para jugar y para hacer tareas de la escuela o proyectos y la verdad cuando escribo hace, no mucho ruido pero si algo para molestar ya que en mi caso aveces me quedo trabajando hasta tarde ( 1 o 2 am ) y siento que todos en mi casa me escuchan escribir con el teclado, pero fuera de eso es muy buen teclado, funciona de maravilla, responde al instante para los juegos y no eh tenido ningun fallo con el en estos 5 meses que lo llevo usando
