THE ALLOY ELITE

Measuring no less than 444mm in length, 168.2mm in width and 36.3mm in height the ALLOY Elite is a mid-large sized keyboard.

Popularity of floating caps design has increased lately and that's a good thing since you can clean your keyboard just by using a compressed air duster.

The brightness level, mode and gaming mode buttons are placed on the left upper corner of the keyboard.

HyperX has placed the dedicated media buttons and the volume wheel on the opposite side right over their logo.

The pass through USB 2.0 port is placed on the right front of the keyboard as seen above.

Here we see the Cherry MX Brown switches.

Four rubber feet and two height adjusters are placed on the base of the keyboard.

These height adjusters are quite short so they can only push the higher end of the keyboard just 9mm from your desk.

At the end of the 1.8 meter long braided cable we find two USB regular (not gold plated) USB ports (one for data and one for the pass-through USB 2.0 port).

The detachable wrist rest features 2 regular clips which we all think are more reliable than magnets.

With the wrist rest the width of the ALLOY Elite jumps to 226.8mm.

Here we see the bundled silver plastic caps half of which (WASD) are also textured.

The NGenuity software by HyperX currently only supports the RGB version of the ALLOY Elite so via the dedicated lighting keys we're showcasing the lowest and highest brightness settings (top two pictures) and some of the available modes.
