GREAT BUDGET BOARD: HyperX Alloy FPS Pro Mechanical Keyboard Review with Cherry MX Red Switches

[@mohammadhassanmahadi1847]

I wonder how far we can mod these type of gaming prebuilt keyboards.Modding this one to lubed gateron yellows would be real nice .

[@stuffdoesitsuck2438]

Thank you for covering this keyboard! Coincidentally, this one has been on my list of future investments. I’m enjoying your videos!

[@sunless5386]

never tired of hearing you talk. however, when you do the keyboard sounds, no talking. Can you do a comparison or a VS one off or something and then pick a winner.. top 5 best sound keyboards for typing .. just my thoughts.

[@CubensisEnjoyer]

Came here to see if I could mod my spare keyboard but also noticed something. It's crazy to think just a little over a year ago you were reaching 1,000 subs and now you're at 107K!!! Keep it up and thanks for all of your content.

I like the way u talk ....its very engaging .....loved it

This is Great Review!! Thank you. Thanks to you I am typing this comment with the keyboard!

[@iHanxDGaming]

I hope the Alloy Orgins Core ( Aqua Switch ) is gonna come back in stock

[@boumex8842]

I have a full-size version. I changed keycaps for PBT and I really like it. Original keycaps certainly do not look like doubleshot to me. And the last lighting mode is actually programmable, so you can choose what key do you want to light up

[@pandex1013]

which keycaps did u get? send a link here or the name of it

[@boumex8842]

@@pandex1013 spcgear.com/en/product/kc104-black-dbl-shot-pbt/ I am from central Europe so at the time this was my only option in stock. Sadly, those pictures on product page don't show how keycaps actually look. The lettering looks like is shown on bottom of the page, but they are black and are doubleshot (these in pictures clearly are not)

[@Hima9977]

Nice 👍 I’m thinking of getting it but it is a pain shipping to india!😭

[@bbwon]

Getting this keyboard soon :). My first Mechnical keyboard. Thank you for the review!

[@Carson.00]

Great vid! was having trouble finding a review that assured me that this was the choice, but then i found this video!! Liked and subbed 👍

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Carson.00]

Also, did your keyboard come with extra textured key caps??? cause on the website it shows they come with them, but mine didnt. just wondering if they were supposed to come with textured keys.

[@motion7673]

@@Carson.00 mine did not I don’t know where my parents ordered it from because it was a Christmas gift (love it btw, just had to fix it using rubbing alcohol because I spilt water super easy worked after only 30 minutes cleaning) but either way get the hyperx pudding keycaps if your looking for new ones, they are not textured so to speak but they are good and have a good grippy feel for gaming and or typing

[@20YrOldPizza]

I grateful for Twitch this week, just a natural off-shoot of KZbin, love the community. I just ordered my first set of PBT keycaps for my First ever mechanical keyboard, I'm excited (Razer, White). Hope your move goes well! I can't wait to visit Texas again.

[@bnt8999]

Yooo imma get the green razer keycaps, those just look sick!

[@20YrOldPizza]

@@bnt8999 I've never had the green ones, but I've seen on multiple youtube channels that they "bleed" light around the characters of the keys, just a heads up.

[@Galaxy_World]

Weird but ok

[@tuffany6392]

Thanks for reviewing this, I was thinking about getting thsi

[@teogonzalezcalzada5812]

I got one of this from second hand, for around 50 USD (I didn't want to spend a lot more than that because even that's like a week of food for a family of 4 where I live) I love it, it isn't as cool as one of the custom made ones that are everywhere on youtube but for the price is incredibly good. My only complaint is that the stabilizers on the Shift, enter, and backspace are really flimsy, and it makes a lot of rattling, But I suppose that's because I got it from second hand lol I'm going to open it in the next days and see whats going on, and see if I can fix it. Btw, thanks, Is really appreciated to see a good budget keyboard, friendly with more modest wallets.

[@QuartQuin]

are the switches swappable? like can i buy the cherry mx red one and replace it with other types later?

[@nexiusmusic1859]

I was looking at this one and the Durgod K320, but went with the K320 because of your review. I think the extra $30 was worth it for the Durgod and I don't care about the RGB stuff.

[@abdou2523]

Great work! A nice chill background music would definitely help though.

[@abdou2523]

Perfect! The overall quality other than that is pretty solid I have to say, good luck.

[@abdou2523]

That's essentially why I never recorded any videos IRL (I mean not recordings) because the moment I got everything up and running the lightning was clearly off and it was so unpleasant for the eye but I was too lazy to do something about it x)

[@abdou2523]

Even if you had a pretty capable machine I don't really think it's worth the time nor the effort to do it manually, just keep playing around with the white balance card and the lighting in general and you should be good. But it obviously comes down to preference use whichever method you're comfortable with ☺️

[@abdou2523]

Welp good luck with that !

[@haveproblemz545]

Only complaint I had for this keyboard is for its stiff shift key, everything else is pretty good.

[@killumination87]

Man I am using this keybaord.. I play BDO and its destroying my fingers.. pushing the buttons is pretty stiff.

[@fw.damian_]

In my country (New Zealand) this keyboard is $258! I have enough money so I’m still going to buy it but…. Quite expensive!

what is your thoughts on hyperx alloy elite 2, could you do a video on it? my dad just got it for me and it is my first mechanical keyboard. i had picked it out on bestbuy because it was on sale for $40 off. i am enjoying it very much.

[@spexz2886]

Great rewiew thx 👍😁

[@ExstasyCo]

I found out that this keyboard will get rusty overtime, especially in countries with tropical climate, where high humidity exist. Currently I'm trying to disassemble it and put some anti-rust coat on the steel frame. I have a question here if it is possible to swap out the LEDs since the red colour will be kinda ugly after doing some customizations?

[@paradox6809]

[@Huisa49]

Хорошая клавиатура, но я сделала выбор в пользу "Corsair k63" по причине наличия дополнительных супер удобных мультимедийных кнопок, и из-за более привлекательного внешнего вида. Corsair делает стильные и удобные клавиатуры, но их необходимо вручную доводить до ума- рекомендую смазать переключатели+ стабилизаторы, колпачки сразу необходимо заменить.

[@sunless5386]

question: this one vs Tecware Phantom? what one is better? I tried to find the tecware phantom elite like you said with the better switches and can't find any 'forwarder to purchase' from the Asian countries that sells them. Tecware just told me to look, they won't give any recommendations of what 'forwarders' may have them. rgb is important, red rgb might work. full keyboard 104, hot swap-able is key, my daughters first mechanical board and she games and she has her own video's with a lot of editing and college work.

[@sunless5386]

@@SwitchandClickOfficial I checked out the gmmk, seems solid and can use all types of switches for sure.. it looks like the software may have some issues and it only has a usb plug.. :( their mice though look sick though for sure. I'm leaning toward brown switches. How good are abs double shot injection key caps?

[@chastroz836]

I got silver kailh switches instead.

[@ayf1oppa.]

I got the Hyper X alloy FPS Pro. Generally I would not recommend it if you’re on mac. There are so many issues you would get from keys stop typing, to the keys typing randomly. Now the HyperX Alloy FPS Pro is placed at the 100 to 150 dollars budget area.

[@markrapelo9864]

should i get this or the tecware b68?

[@-Lie_be]

Should i get this down the line, cus i need a keyboard with less grams needed for pressing down, i have a Outemu Blues keyboard, and i hate the sound xD I really think i should buy it when i can, but i have heard somewhere that it has durability issues, is this true?

[@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594]

I'm no keyboard enthusiast. Just a average consumer. Light usage. Still fine after 2-3 years I mean it's like 70-80 dollars, it's simple and gets the job done, not much room for error. I love my little keyboard :)

Are the switches on this keyboard hot-swappable or soldered to the PCB? The detachable USB is already a plus.

Using it rn lol It's a good upgrade from my old keyboard (membrane keyboard and the keys got stuck constantly) This keyboard is solid, doesn't take much to activate the keys. I saw the only downside is that the travel distance is a little farther than I would like

@@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594 I actually found a different keyboard that I am more interested in. It's called the km360 by gskill. It's basically the same thing but 10 bucks cheaper and only cherry mx reds instead of having the option for blues. right now I am using my built-in laptop keyboard, but maybe i'll invest in the km360 and a set of pbt keycaps.
