The HyperX Alloy FPS is one of our favorite gaming keyboards here at TechRadar. Its simple, frame-less design and solid construction make it one of the best and most affordable gaming keyboards we’ve ever used. However, for those who want a little bit more, Kingston has introduced the HyperX Alloy Elite.
The keyboard is essentially everything the Alloy FPS was, with the addition of a few features, including media keys, a light bar and a palm rest. Despite these inclusions, it’s still reasonably priced at $109 or £119 (about AU$140).
Design
In case the HyperX Alloy Elite looks familiar, it’s basically a non-RBG version of Kingston’s upcoming Hyper X Alloy RGB, first revealed at CES 2017.
The Alloy Elite takes the clean, frameless design of the Alloy FPS gaming keyboard that came before it and adds a new row of dedicated media buttons above the main group of keys. The buttons for play/pause, mute, plus skipping forwards and backwards are large, as is the volume rocker. Thankfully, none of the controls feel mushy.
Meanwhile, there’s the integrated palm rest that features the same textured finish we loved on the HyperX Pulsefire gaming mouse.
