I didn't buy this for gaming. I bought this so I could easily see the keyboard (letters light up) and the keys feel like that of an electric typewriter (learned to type on a manual typewriter, then switched to an electric). The keyboard has some weight to it so it doesn't slide around the tabletop. Ended up buying one for my husband and he loves it also.
For years It’s been increasingly frustrating that plastic keyboards keep getting lighter and wear out faster. The solid weight of the Alloy Origins keeps it soundly on the desk and the key response is precise and dependable. Love the customizable LED colors too
Everything is beautiful about this keyboard. The keys have a great sound, the metal housing on the bottom makes it heavy, and the tactile switches are great.
Love the texture, the brightness, and the weight. Wish it was a LITTLE less clicky when I depress a key, and the only reason I didn't give a 5 star is because there's no "solid" rainbow setting. Only a wave, so I had to Google the question and program a solid rainbow in myself (not easy when you're colorblind).
This s the perfect keyboard for a gamer. This was a Christmas present for my grandson and he was delighted

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received this alloy origins mechanical gaming keyboard by HyperX. This is by far the greatest gaming keyboard I have ever owned. The alloy construction makes for a heavy weight, durable product which is compatible with PC, Xbox One and PS4. The RGB lighting effects are superior to all other keyboards I have seen. These lighting effects can be changed to your preference and be completely shut off if you so choose. The mechanical keys allow the ability the customize your own keys and make your keyboard truly unique. I have submitted a photo to illustrate the original keyboard and how it looked after changing a few of the keys. I would highly recommend this keyboard, especially to anyone who considers themselves a true gamer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this keyboard! I do a lot of crafts at my desk so I wanted this as a space saver. It's very compact which is huge bonus for me. My kids and husband use it for gaming and my husband raves about how much he likes and my kids seem to love it too. The lights come on around the buttons you press which is pretty cool and I like the feel of the keys. It came with the extra teal keys, which is super cute! I would definitely recommend.
Love this 65% keyboard. HyperX delivers yet again.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Aqua switches feel great and satisfying to type on. HyperX makes great gaming keyboards. One gets the feeling that whoever is in charge over there really knows what they're doing.
