Agreed, I bought the original K70 RGB like 4 years ago and I feel the Corsair keyboards haven't changed a bit. Except switching to way uglier keycaps font.
i think they already great to begin with, thats why they need just to refresh their lineup. K95 Platinum hands down one of the best keyboard ever made and it will last a long time. but for mouse yeah they really need to catch up.
They really need to do somehting to standout. The quality of their keycaps is really bad, the prices are high compared to the competiton and not mention that in 4 years they never had the idea of putting rubber feets on the feets that adjust the height of the keyboard which is not ok for keyboards that cost more than 100$
I just picked this keyboard up and to anyone wondering it's freaking awesome, the red switches sound and feel extremely good. They have since updated the firmware and software so there are no memory syncing issues at this time (late 2020)
I just got this keyboard for 60€ on black friday sales and I absolutely love it I had a G512 with clicky switches before I love how quiet it is compared to blue switches and how smooth red switches feel Best deal ever Update: still holds up well after one year of daily use
I have a corsair strafe RGB, had it for years. it has like 7 dead LEDs already on it and the stabilizers on this are awful. Definitely the last corsair product I will ever purchase. All their shit is overpriced, and just looks "good", but they are all mass produced shitty quality peripherals. This video made me want to go out and upgrade to a Hyper X keyboard
I just bought this keyboard a few days ago and I'm loving it. I wanted a full size keyboard without any other fuss like separate media controls, macros or profiles. As discussed inteh video, the build quality is super solid, there is no flex at all. However, understand the keyboard is not that light if that's what you're after. Overall this was exactly what I was looking for, a really solidly built, long-lasting keyboard that is full size but compact with no fuss. Definitely recommend it if you're after something similar. My other choices would've been the CoolerMaster MK750 which also has the wrist rest which is great.
@@fieryforest6952 yes and i bought it back then😅 the switches are definitely too fast. I would not recommend it haha. Edit: i just looked it up and i bought the same board with silver speed switches. The red weren't available anymore :(
“Aircraft grade”. Just means 6000 series most of the time. If a company wanted to impress me with its “aircraft grade aluminum” it’d have 7050/7075. (I’m a machinist, so knowing materials is part of my job)
I know this was dumb, but after I picked it up when I was messing with Steam I suddenly got the urge to write some reviews just so I could listen to it 😅
Speaking of HyperX charging cables, I own a cloud flight and the stock charging cable has been through some shit, 2 years of straight torture and that cable is still going. Man, it's witchcraft I tell ya, Never had a charging cable lasting so long especially under such heavy use (being ran over by my gaming chair, chewed by my cat etc.)
Just from the sound test alone, the HyperX switches sound a lot less scratchy and quieter than MX Reds, which I can see why you are comparing them more with Gateron. Based on that, they are quieter. That Varmilo board though...that spacebar has THOCC...I love it.
i dont think the comparison was fair, the board with the mx speeds looked like a much more enthusiast-grade board which made it probably sound way better, also the keycaps were not thin shit, doesnt really do a switch justice in a comparison
My HyperX Alloy Elite with Cherry MX Brown switches has been quite reliable and feels better to type and game on compared to many other MX Brown keyboards even compared to Corsair. The space bar is quite solid and the steel plank gives the board a sturdy feel without any pinging. I've replaced the stock keys with HyperX's own PBT doubleshot keycaps and thanks to their use of standard sized keys, I can replace them with keycaps found elsewhere. I would love to give their Origins with Aqua Switches a try as I'm more into tactile switches than linears.
If they're naming their "blues" aqua, why did they just name the linear switch red? Why not follow a theme and name it "ember" or "magma"? They could've easily gone with a elemental theme and it wouldn't have looked so low effort.
Well, for me it's actually an awesome keyboard. It has all that i need for gaming and for work, with (as it has been said) an incredible built quality. The problem for me, is the software... hiperx.. pleeease do a decent software. The current one is ridiculous.
The review helped me to decide. I just bought one and I'm really loving it... great keyboard for gaming and for work! The only problem is the software.
hey bro im tryna get one too but I love the tactile click of the browns. never tried reds before, how do they compare to browns? really wish they had a linear tactile switch :((
I think you should get switches test kit to compare em. But imo, hyperX's linear red is way better than cherry red. Source: i owned alloy origin and quick fire tk.
switch housing being red and not transparent is a deal breaker for me I was really looking to get this but damn, that sounds like a small issue but its not It basically halves the color options because any light color that doesn't have a red accent is gonna look weird
I was between this and the Elite 2, but as someone who will have the RGB set to static, it worries me that some colours will look weird. Hmmmm. Any recommendations for a mech keyboard that is very similar, but doesn't that that issue?
@@deadmanwalking1930 unfortunately can't give you a proper recommendation cuz I don't have that much experience with mech keyboards. I ended up getting the asus tuf k3 and it's been perfect so far but I know that some people aren't so fond of their products so idk. I'm actually really satisfied with their stuff so I got the tuf 3 set so the m3 mouse p3 mouse pad and k3 keyboard. Planning on getting the h3 headset later this year to complete the set. But yea, I recommend asus but I'm definitely biased.
I have bought the keyboard and I am writing with it right now actually, the keyboard is very well made but the lighting software part is very true, it's not just his sample, there is a problem with the software and they should fix it, otherwise, I really recommend this keyboard, its ready good at writing and gaming, I use it every day, I just came on this video to see another perspective of this keyboard and maybe help someone else pick a good keyboard, I am not crazy about keyboards and this is my first keyboard over 20$, but it is the best investment I have ever made and since I bought this keyboard, I have not found any competitor for it.
i got this keyboard, it is awesome. if you are looking for a keyboard that is not breaking the bank and super competitive, perfect keyboard. The keyboard is also quiet as well unless you put your whole body weight on it. It is definitely worth it. I am hyperx fan boy.
I also had the problem with sync, the solution that I found is to click the 3 circles button on the presets tab, then my keyboard started to sync right
Bigger heads, virtually no bobble... Sounds like a solid keyboard to be looking out for. Yes, more manufacturers should add in a volume rocker instead of hiding them in FN keys.
Hey i own this keyboard for about a week now, he does type like a dream compared to my old membrame keyboard! though i was wondering, can you remove the keycaps when you want to clean it with a keycap romoval tool in case you want to clean it? cant seem to find this info anywhere, i dont want to break anything lol.
In order to completely transfer the changes to the keyboard, while the program is open, go to Task Manager in Windows and kill the HyperX software process. *If the process is not there, open the program again, go back to Task Manager and close the process.
unless it's negotiating USB power delivery, there is not going to be ANY current left over to charge your phone at any appreciable speed once the RGB leds have taken their share, so I quite understand why they removed the charging port
I literally just bought a keyboard that arrived today that was slightly smaller and had basically all the same features.. For $120... Just know I am returning this damn keyboard tomorrow to buy the HyperX alloy tbh haha.
Okay okay. Mx speed is fast switch... i have it XD but is it enjoayble to type ? I can say it is ok, if you didn't try other ones :D but it is meant more for gaming. I like gateron reds and cherry reds more a bit probably due to longer overall distance and lighter feeling. However mx speed weight reminds exotic switches weight more . I compared it is really similar to exostic ones
@@kururugi8221 yeah but what i mean is that what u hear isnt necessarily associated with the switch, since kbs with same switches could sound really different from things like kecapys, base, lubed or not, and stabilizers. hm never thought about the desk, but ig it makes sense.
The aqua is a tactile switch, so it's more of a variable of cherry mx browns, not blues. I recently got the tkl version of this keyboard, which is cheaper lmao, with the aqua switches, and it's really nice. They feel a lot better IMO than mx browns.
3:25 most quality cables are rigid since the isolation is much thicker and also usb 3 (c) has way mor (10 or smthn) than the compared headphones cable, which only has 3 to 4 wires.
I love Hyper X Keyboards, I'm also sort of a fanboy so take that for what its worth, but after using both Razer Synapse and Hyper X Ngenuity software, I do have to admit the Ngenuity is basically hot garbage, ive gotten used to it but thye really need to work on their interface. Overall I think that hyper x is a great choice for anybody that wants a great gaming/typing board that not only feels great but also performs great, but doesn't want to spend two hundred bucks then hyper x is the way to go, just be aware that their software takes a couple of days to get the hang of.
Hyper X Really puts the effort into making a good keyboard, Ive purchased a couple corsair keyboards . and honestly i have switched from hyper x to corsair to a non-name brand hot swap-able keyboard. That looks like the RAGER keyboard lol , They should market it as that. Like we DARE you to smash things with this keyboard , But we are not liable . I rotate between the speed switches from cherry and blue kailh's for typing. Ive been experimenting with those Omni-point switches from steel series too
Hey, have you tested the Hyperx Alloy FPS RGB ? If so, which one do you prefer, this one or the FPS RGB ? because i'm planning to take the FPS RGB for Christmas but if this keyboard is better then i'll take it
I think the fps rgb has mail silver speed switches which like really smooth no clicks or bumps and I wouldnt recommend it if u type than a few Google searches
The software issue is not just your sample, I have the same issue on my FPS RGB. I didnt have this issue with the original software but with the new Windows 10 store beta it is present.
Hi guys. @3:30 is he using a monitor stand / small table to get the monitor of his desk ? Maybe you can tell me what he is using since I am looking to store my keyboard under my monitor. Thank you !
6:17 to 7:06 can you make a video with the key sound vid a little more in-depth, as an example, you had a firm single press on the linear but then light fast clicks for the other 2. So the same movement for all three keyboards would be nice. Also as a possible extra add some rubber o ring for keyboards and see if that makes the less high pitch clack and quieter hard to notice thuds. I want the quietest keyboard, that also doesn't make high pitch sounds, they distract me.
Is their a keyboard that has media keys, usb and headphone ports, and RGBs that light up the secondary characters on the keyboard as well? Is that asking for too much?
im choosing between the hyperX keyboards too. i mainly play FPS games and i prefer red switches so i recommend Alloy Origins or even Alloy FPS(none RGB). Alloy FPS RGB has silver speed switches which make me feel like i could misclick the key very easily, but if you like silver speed switches then definitely go for it.
@@musahzahoor6516 Sorry about the late reply. Very satisfied with the switches. These linear HyperX reds are crazy. I have the HyperX alloy Cherry MX Blue switch keyboard and I also have the HyperX Pro Cherry MX Reds. But these HyperX Linear reds feel 50% tactical as Cherry MX Blues but just as fast as the Cherry MX reds, simultaneously. I love the build quality. The keys feel way more stable. There is a quietness to the keys despite them sounding tactile, the sound is slightly dim of the keys, in a nice way. IF you buy these HyperX linear reds, you wont need to buy a Blue switch or another red switch keyboard. You will get the best out of both worlds. Blue/red switch 2 in 1 with much more stability of the keys and nice clicky but smoothly dimmed sound. I love typing on it. The only crap thing is that there isn't a charger port at the back.
I wanted to ask about the software, did you hit the sync button on the bottom of the preset menu? I have ran into that with this keyboard. That is the only thing that I would say might be wrong.
Look up lubed holy red pandas, it sounds like bamboo. Or gateron black ink switches. The keyboard scheme is WAAAYYY more in depth than what people think, kind of like a PC. I would also recommend listening to randomfrankp's custom keyboard sound test. It sounds beautiful.
@@spicypotatoes301 I've been noticing this as well. How the device we use to input our data is a whole industry in and of itself. I like the feeling and sound of a good keyboard so, it's important to me. Thank you.
i hope they did the paint job on the keyboard poperly . The paintings on my hyperX alloy elite started chipping off and boy does it look bad,it hasn't even been a year since i got the keyboard
Defective powder coating, it's aluminum so it wasn't "painted" but an electro chemical reaction to adhere a coating to the metal. If yours is chipping it was passed in quality when it shouldn't have. Try to contact hyper CS, I have had one for 2 years and it's mint.

Also as a possible extra add some rubber o ring for keyboards and see if that makes the less high pitch clack and quieter hard to notice thuds.
I want the quietest keyboard, that also doesn't make high pitch sounds, they distract me.
Get a keyboard with silent switches
Is their a keyboard that has media keys, usb and headphone ports, and RGBs that light up the secondary characters on the keyboard as well? Is that asking for too much?
6:01 "something about the ReVeRb AnD ViBrAtIoN" a subtle but apreciated touch to the video... the guy that edits these vid is so talented!!
the hyperx switches sound way more smooth
I’m wondering what HyperX keyboard will I buy. HyperX Alloy Origins or the HyperX Alloy FPS RGB. Any advice what to buy?
im choosing between the hyperX keyboards too. i mainly play FPS games and i prefer red switches so i recommend Alloy Origins or even Alloy FPS(none RGB). Alloy FPS RGB has silver speed switches which make me feel like i could misclick the key very easily, but if you like silver speed switches then definitely go for it.
Yes Eber a video from you🔥
5:19 switches
PBT keycaps plz.
Look at 6 min
Can I use the RGB lighting without any software installs?
is it possible to take the switches out?
I am big fan of you and I like your unboxing style
I got this today, it arrives tomorrow and I cant wait
Update?
@@musahzahoor6516 Sorry about the late reply. Very satisfied with the switches. These linear HyperX reds are crazy. I have the HyperX alloy Cherry MX Blue switch keyboard and I also have the HyperX Pro Cherry MX Reds. But these HyperX Linear reds feel 50% tactical as Cherry MX Blues but just as fast as the Cherry MX reds, simultaneously. I love the build quality. The keys feel way more stable. There is a quietness to the keys despite them sounding tactile, the sound is slightly dim of the keys, in a nice way. IF you buy these HyperX linear reds, you wont need to buy a Blue switch or another red switch keyboard. You will get the best out of both worlds. Blue/red switch 2 in 1 with much more stability of the keys and nice clicky but smoothly dimmed sound. I love typing on it. The only crap thing is that there isn't a charger port at the back.
@@GHOST-ig6bi How are the switches doing? No chatter, no fail?
VARMILO`S SPACEBAR STABILIZER IS SOO LUBED OMG
I wanted to ask about the software, did you hit the sync button on the bottom of the preset menu? I have ran into that with this keyboard. That is the only thing that I would say might be wrong.
I have this keyboard and I take it over my other ones simply because the aluminum. It feels so nice and stays so clean. I love it
does the spacebar rattle?
touseefbsb the coder not at all
@@westcoast2372 what wrist rest u r using with it? also do u have the tkl version of full one ?
touseefbsb the coder I don’t use a wrist rest yet I might buy one in the future, I have the full edition as well
@@Touseef alot
Do you recommend this over a cherry Mx red keyboard ?
Got this over the Corsair k70 mk2 Mx red. These feel so much better. the k70 also had a metallic spring noise to it which I couldn’t stand at all
great video man.
80 millions clics, 1.8mm 😱😱😍
PBT keycaps or ABS?
4:00
Laser etched ABS plastic with anti slip.
After two years of use, one key (Y) stopped working, I don’t know how to fix it.
Same way with other mech keyboards - pull out your soldering iron :)
I really like the way the keys sound on this keyboard. I believe I found my new keyboard. (/
Look up lubed holy red pandas, it sounds like bamboo. Or gateron black ink switches. The keyboard scheme is WAAAYYY more in depth than what people think, kind of like a PC. I would also recommend listening to randomfrankp's custom keyboard sound test. It sounds beautiful.
@@spicypotatoes301 I've been noticing this as well. How the device we use to input our data is a whole industry in and of itself. I like the feeling and sound of a good keyboard so, it's important to me. Thank you.
how are the stabilizers on this? rattly or good?
I have always loved HyperX for their amazing packaging!
they do have a nice package
Do you wanna know who else has a nice package( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@4skintim962 i do, tell me pls ;^)
@@leonruvalcaba1549 its been a year
What is the difference between the linear red and the cherry mx red?
What was that keyboard at 6:27?
I've seen some people say it is a Varmilo kb of some sort. Great brand.
Idk what the keycaps are though
Smith + Rune
why would a tactile act like a blue (clicky) switch?
why does the tkl version can't be found on hyperx website?
Great review
Hyper x is my favorite brand I have hyper everything
Which mouse do you have?
Sry off-topic.
Сan u give a link to ur glasses.
Ty
Is it loud?
i hope they did the paint job on the keyboard poperly . The paintings on my hyperX alloy elite started chipping off and boy does it look bad,it hasn't even been a year since i got the keyboard
Defective powder coating, it's aluminum so it wasn't "painted" but an electro chemical reaction to adhere a coating to the metal. If yours is chipping it was passed in quality when it shouldn't have. Try to contact hyper CS, I have had one for 2 years and it's mint.
@@Juxtaposed1Nmotion i did....they said such cases doesn't come under warranty. Love they keyboard overall but didn't expect this to happen....got a 1st gen Corsair k70 which is still in great condition.
The sound on MX speed though... It's sounds just right for me. Man... Could sleep listening to that..
Its mostly on the board and caps
@@JaymzBond is it a custom? I very much would like to buy that bad boy just for that sound. Cheers.
