Well designed, Easy to get familiar, Sturdy build
At Rs 11,000, the HyperX Alloy Elite brings several features that Alloy FPS and other slightly pocket-friendly gaming keyboards lack. You get one of the best and fastest response and really accurate keys, which every gamer wishes. Although it left us aski...
Media shortcuts are very handy, Wrist rest is a nice bonus, Plug-and-play brings convenience
Cable is thick and undetachable, Wrist rest could use a different method of attaching to keyboard

Dynamic lighting looks fantastic, Impressive build and quality
Software needs UI and UX changes
For what its worth, this variant of Alloy Elite doesn't differ much from the original. What they just basically added here are RGB lights as opposed to Alloy Elite's all red-lighted keys. Alloy Elite RGB sells for PhP8,9995, and the non-RGB variant costs...

Until today, I am still using the HyperX Alloy Elite keyboard, simply because it's a no-fuss and straight forward keyboard. No need to mess with any settings and it feels really solid and sturdy. I can't say that this is the most premium experience we had...
