Soft to the touch, lethal on the battlefield, the HyperX Alloy Rise gaming keyboard is a full sized weapon for your PC gaming.
The mechanical keyboard has hot swappable keys – HyperX even supply a tool for you to extract the keys out, along with a built-in ambient light sensor.
The RGB lighting is second to none. you can customise this to your liking via the NGENUITY software (you’ll need to download this) as well as create up to 10 custom profiles.
The HyperX Alloy Rise gaming keyboard is designed for optimal customisation, you can get and swap out differing plates as well as add badges to it.
The keyboard itself is weighted, it is infact heavier than it looks, this is good, as it prevents the keyboard from sliding about on your desk.
Whether your chatting to your clan mates or playing solo while streaming a playlist, the HyperX Alloy Rise has you sorted for quick controls.
There’s media buttons to the top right of the keyboard. I found the volume toggle to be the most used in both gaming and streaming media.
Each mechanical key has a soft but firm press, and it’s quiet. You’re family or room mates aren’t going to hear you smashing the keys from the other end of the house. It’s stealthy.
This said, I did find that the keys are a wee bit narrow. A lot of the time I’d find myself bumping either side keys while typing, or using the keyboard to play. Something to get used to.
The HyperX Alloy Rise gaming keyboard is full sized so you do need to have a space to accomodate it. There is a numberpad built in and you’ll find there’s a secondar functionality to some keys too, but this comes down to your profile customisations.
Overall, the HyperX Alloy Rise is a solid peripheral for your gaming Rig or laptop without the expense of some other similar branded keyboards.
It gives you a world of customisation, making it your own, all the while being well built, and ready to game when you are.
