## Description

HyperX Alloy FPS Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (US Layout), Cherry MX Red : desertcart.co.uk: PC & Video Games

Review: Overall great keyboard. Bright, responsive, and good value for money. - I like this keyboard a lot. It's heavy, made of metal, and it feels good to type on. The keys have a low activation threshold, so it feels good when my keystrokes are recognized quickly. The price is pretty good, I would say it's good value for money. The only thing letting it down for me is the cable. It's faulty as of writing this review, and I've had to purchase a third party cable to replace it. Other than the cable, this keyboard is very good and definitely worth considering if you're looking for one.
Review: Just what I wanted and need. - I'm English so the fact that this only comes with a U.S layout is a shame. It doesn't stop me from changing it to UK layout in system settings though. Works a treat. I'm an old-time BZFlag player, for those who don't know it's an old advanced tank FPS game from the 90s. I need everything to fit under my fingers perfectly with an extremely high demand for the fastest response time available allowing me to dodge and kill my enemies at ease. These red switches help especially when the bullet velocity and super flag weapons have been set blindingly quick, I can move in a blink of an eye with this keyboard and it's not just the red switches. Not too much bling, good lighting that doesn't dazzle you, good quality keycaps, I have seen better, but these basically fit the rest of the keyboard's build quality. Not the best, but definitely not the worst and will last nearly as long as you want them to. This keyboard has never let me down and never distracted me once. In regards to the people saying the backplate is flimsy, they're wrong. I gently smashed it over my knee and it didn't flex. Also, anything thicker than what it has would be a little weird. The join between the plate and the plastic bottom shell makes a smooth transition and you wouldn't notice that the rest is plastic until you tap on it. Accustics are nice too. If you're the person that wants the keycaps to feel like the steering wheel of a Bently then don't bother. If you're looking for a sturdy keyboard that will last and has easily replaceable keycaps and possibly something that's portable, you might like this. If you're looking for a cheap tenkeyless keyboard and are eying this one but it's a little out of your price range then save the extra twenty pounds. Especially if you aren't picky. If you're like me, looking for something that literally does what it says on the tin, practical, and does what it says to more than what I initially expected from it, it's a great keyboard. Glad I didn't buy the Bloody I was going to. Makes a nice change from Corsair keyboards. Not that I have an issue with them since I've only owned a K30. The worst piece of plastic I ever set eyes on after less than a year's use. This though.. I've had it coming to three times longer now and it's still good as new.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly well made and the keys are perfect for gaming
*by K***K on 20 May 2020*

I've used this keyboard for about a week now and I have yet to find a single fault with it, The keyboard base is made from stolid steel and has a nice weight to it. The base also has the usual two legs, allowing you have the keyboard be slightly raised. The USB cable can also be detached from both ends making it easy to move the keyboards position or moving it off the desk completely if you have a small/compact desk such as myself. The keys themselves have a nice resistance to them, I'd say in they are in medium in tension and reasonably spaced apart. The led back-lighting is also really good and has a few different modes, including WASD, wave, fade in and out, constantly on and constantly off. The back-lighting also has various brightness levels too. The cable of the keyboard is also very well made and is very durable as it is braided too. It has a nice red and black design making it easy to identifying the cable in your cable tidy or on the back of your PC, The sound of your key clicks are very loud, which I personally really like :) Highly recommend it! 5/5 ( Click “Helpful” if this helped ^__^ )
