The Alloy FPS RGB from HyperX is an excellent evolution of the original Alloy FPS. The MSRP is $110 and retails for about $100 (Amazon). This is a feature packed mechanical gaming keyboard in a package that is no bigger than your standard size one. Reclai...
HyperX's entire modus operandi thus far has been to strip pretense and excess out of gaming peripherals, and make them streamlined and approachable instead. The Alloy FPS demonstrates that the company can make intelligent subtractions from its products, i...

In the end I was very impressed with both HyperX Alloy FPS keyboards, and that was before learning anything about their retail pricing. The 104-key Alloy FPS is a penny under $100, which is excellent considering its metal frame, Cherry MX key switches, an...
Ever since Kingston separated their HyperX brand to better cater towards gamers, I've had the opportunity to test quite a few of their new peripherals and despite HyperX getting into many of these product lines for the first time, most of their products h...

Abstract: Kingston HyperX is a brand mostly known for their headsets, memory and solid state drives, so when I found out that they would be going into the keyboard making business, I did have a little bit of trepidation. I now have the HyperX Alloy FPS in my hands...

The HyperX Alloy FPS is still a very solid keyboard, in a compact and easy to transport package. Its red-switched version performs admirably, as did the blue-switched keyboard. Between the three available options — blue, brown, and red — there should be a...
There's no doubt in my mind that you'll see professional gamers on Twitch using this keyboard. It's rock solid, enjoyable to use, and well-built for travel or to forever sit on your desk. While the lack of RGB may have some looking for something else the...
