![]() ![]() The HyperX Allow Elite 2 is an unapologetically bold and bright gaming keyboard that often feels more like a statement piece than something for playing videogames. The spacebar feels great for those whose main form of transportation in MMORPGs is jumping like a sociopath. I wanted to see how it fared in an MMORPG, so I dusted off Star Wars: The Old Republic, for reasons, and killed some Jedi as an Imperial Agent in a few PVP runs. If you have larger hands, this full-sized keyboard is perfect for your gigantic digits.Īs far as gaming is concerned, the HyperX's Red switch's snappiness and responsiveness worked well in my matches of Call of Duty: Warzone. The ABS Pudding keycaps have a wide and comfy feel to them though I did find myself stretching my fingers out more than usual to hit specific keys. Though I didn't feel much of a difference when typing or gaming, I still hit my usual words per minute of around 80. The HyperX Red switches on paper have less travel and use less force than your traditional Reds. Another change is HyperX has decided to go with its Red switch instead of Cherry MX Brown, Blue, and Red switches like it did the previous model. Yeah, the Alloy Elite 2 is roughly $10 cheaper than the Alloy Elite RGB originally sold for, but it would have been sweet to see a wrist rest or even a keycap remover for easy cleaning. For a start, there's no wrist rest or any extra keycaps. While not the sexiest feature, it's still good to have nonetheless. The growing number of USB devices on my desk has been increasing at an alarming rate. It is weird that the quick access keys, whose purpose is to control the RGB lighting, are the only keys that don't light up.Īnother addition to Alloy Elite 2 is the USB 2.0 passthrough at the top of the keyboard, a feature that is always welcome. That light bar serves no real purpose, aside from being another place to throw in more RGB. The media controls, massive volume wheel, and quick access keys are also back above the dynamic light bar. What makes HyperX's Pudding keycaps unique is the side of each key is translucent, allowing for a more dramatic increase in RGB light to escape. ![]() The way RGB lighting works on most keyboards is that the light peeks out from underneath the keys and through the characters on the top of each keycap. HyperX has been selling black and white Pudding keycaps separately, but the Alloy Elite 2 is the first of its keyboards to have Pudding keycaps right from the start. ![]() After establishing that HyperX's Pudding keycaps have nothing to do with snacks (sadly), these keycaps allow you to get the maximum amount of RGB lighting shining through each key. The most striking feature of the Alloy Elite 2, and also the biggest difference from the original Alloy Elite RGB, is the use of pudding ABS keycaps. ![]()
