This is the first review of this keyboard I've seen that actually went into the ngenuity software and showed what it can do/how it works instead of just saying "you can do some customizations with it but it's buggy". For that, you have my thanks and my sub. Hope to see more from you in the future! Cheers

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks. Glad to be useful!

[@lucutes2936]

They say it's buggy because they don't know how to use it

[@mercix_vt]

@@lucutes2936 same here, i had HYPERX ALLOY FPS RGB and had more than 10 presets with all has really cool and good customs, some of them downloaded from" Mars" called ytuber, that channel has only ALLOY FPS RGB presets and haven't uploaded lately, but these presets actually work with any other 104 keyboards from hyperx such as ORIGINS, FPS RGB, ELITE, ELITE 2

You've got good taste.

Those red switches sound so damn good! I'm thinking about get those pudding keycaps for My Apex 7

Did I find this video useful? I sure did. I couldn't figure out how to add colors to specific keys, but after watching this video, I do! Thanks =)

Not many tech review channels have told me to have a great life at the end of their video. Thank you very much XD

[@deezysan]

Hyperx Alloy Elite 2 or Steelseries Apex 5 for gaming?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I've not tried the Apex 5, but the Alloy Elite 2 is superb.

[@akulaone11]

A soothing voice, great review, what more could you want from a review! Good job mate ya just earned a sub 👍

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thank you! I get some complaints that the music isn't right, I talk to slowly and I'm boring. So I guess it depends wildly on your taste but I just do what I like and hope others do.

[@tonygeddes9558]

Great review! Loving that keyboard, I’ve just ordered myself one. Liked and subscribed 👊🏻

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks. Appreciate it.

[@yukiterumi7371]

Can you change the keycaps out and the pudding will be fine/intact?

[@commanderkaoz9296]

I love the look of pudding keycaps but dislike the red switches. How was the software for you?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

The software is good as you can see at the end of the video.

[@LATasKara]

amazing review buddy, thanks so much!

Thank you Hopefully you enjoyed enough to subscribe 😁😜

[@Istandal0ne1]

Great review ! I absolutely love HyperX keyboards. I just ordered this one. I got a good deal on it. There worth every penny! HYPER X Is by far my favorite brand.

[@maisonette9_]

The new pudding keycaps look great. Never really liked the font on their previous Pudding PBT Keycaps. But why would they ditch Cherry MX switches for their own ones? Well, at least my wallet is happy to see that. I'll be keeping my current Alloy Elite RGB! Great video btw. Keep it up!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thank you sir. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 😁

[@jairuslirazan6317]

I hate hate hate the keycaps. They are so slippery and small for my big fingers. But the RGB is so beautiful and mesmerizing to look at. What I did is I bought Double PBT White Keycaps and they look much better and typing becomes better- HyperX PBT seems to be wider, so more surface area. The play and skip buttons are great especially for me who loves to play music.

[@strictnessofdeath2822]

I bought this bad boy bit heavy but perfect

[@IIamTony]

Where can I get blue switches from?

[@Volymbrez]

blue switches is currently not available

[@joseb2878]

Logitech G Pro or Hyperx Alloy Elite 2

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Afraid I've not tried the G Pro Keyboard. But the Alloy Elite 2 was great.

[@TheAETHER22]

Why doesn't anyone make low profile keycaps like the roccat vulcan's...

[@prizxm]

Noice

[@markurds001]

is it true that the version with wrist rest is better than elite 2? please enlighten me.. stuck on choosing between those two keyboards.. please someone hlep me

[@kingdramanyz]

does anyone know if ASUS AURA SYNC recognize this shit? trying to get it in an hour...

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Doubtful. Sync usually only supports products from the relevant brand. I E. You'd need an Asus keyboard

Thanks for this which mouse is that? Do you recommend it? Any issues with double clicks or scrolling?

Same did u figure it out?

I bota the blue switch one, everyone says that blue switch is better for typing, besides the noise, it's that true ?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

If it's mainly typing then yes.

[@lucianolago2871]

Great product! I bought it today and I'm loving it, before it I was using a Blue click Corsair keyboard but this one feels incredible, at the moment I am downloading the software to manage light settings, thank you for this review, I just subscribed!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for watching and subscribing.

[@powerrulez8865]

The only drawback to this keyboard is that it only comes with red switches

[@tyler7356]

actually it comes in multiple switches, at least blue, brown and red the last time that I checked.

[@root6683]

tweezers included ?

[@Volymbrez]

no you have to purchase or your can just pull them

just bought it for 77€

Bargain

[@lucutes2936]

You should really showcase the rgb in the dark

It's not that easy sadly as the camera struggles in low light. But I have got better at that recently (I hope)

Alloy Elite 2 or Alloy Origins? They got the same price in my region I'm confused what to choose

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I can't comment on origins, but Alloy Elite 2 is epic

[@Infading]

Depends on if u want small and compact or big and flexible.. depends if u want media control or not.. personally I'd go with the elite 2 since origin clearly isn't worth as much.

your video convinced me to purchase one, thanks.

Looks nice, but any keyboard with small left shift is no-go for me.

That's due to ISO layout. ANSI layout is also available.
