Mechanical keyboards occupy an interesting space in the PC peripherals market. They’re primarily sold to those keen on highly competitive PC gaming, but they can also have application for those who are just a bit too brutal on regular keyboards, because their mechanical switches are usually more durable than those found on regular butterfly style keyboards, or those who need longer key travel for ergonomic reasons.
It’s immediately clear that the HyperX Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is aimed more solidly at that gaming market, but that doesn’t preclude it from being used for other, more pedestrian purposes. Gaming keyboards, however, are where a lot of the competition in the mechanical keyboard space is, so any new entrant needs to really stand out.
The HyperX Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is, as its name suggests, still best suited for gamers, and most notably gamers who favour mechanical keyboards but aren’t always doing so from the comfort of their own gaming zones. It’s built for portability, and within that space it’s a very decent option, although you’re awash with many choices in the mechanical keyboard space. If you have more desk space and want more features you're spoiled for choice, but if you want something that's no fuss and relatively compact while still being very durable, the HyperX Alloy FPS is a great choice.
HyperX sells the Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard directly through its web site for $169 outright.
Designed for first-person shooters, the HyperX Alloy FPS mechanical keyboard features a compact design to allow for more mousepad space and to make travel with the board easier. Grab it now from Amazon Australia.
