Neues review: endlich eine neue Tastatur bekommen. Das Support Team hat mir das Problem schnell gelst. Jetzt bin ich froh!
Es ist in einem perfekten Stand, US Ansi Layout mit roten Schalten. Die Schalter fhlen sich super angenehm an und sind sehr leise, genau wie meine alte Tastatur von Tecware.
Ich bin froh dass es 3 Profile hat und damit kann ich berall arbeiten oder zocken. Diese Tastatur werde ich in der Arbeit nutze (Programmieren) und bei Zocken.
Ich werde auch die Pudding Keycaps nutzen fr die geile Lichter, und Gummiringe (um leiser und gedmpft zu machen).
Die Software ist einfach aber es macht was es soll.
Wer ein 90 Grad Kabel sucht, die vom BLACKSYNCZE passen perfekt fr die Tastatur. Link auf Amazon:

VORSICHT: Metallrahmen nicht geeignet in Umgebungen wo elektrostatische Entladungen passieren! Man muss immer aufpassen wie die Feuchtigkeit ist, welche kleider und Sthle nutzt. Die LEDs hatten fter komische Verhalten und mit der Zeit kann die Tastatur beschdigen. Das glaube ich, ist eine Fehlkonstruktion => habe die Tastatur zurck geschicht obwohl ich es sehr mag 🙁
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Altes Review(Bilder gelscht): Zwischen Z und X Taste ist ein Schamhaar. Da gibt’s auch welche neben linke Window Taste. Es ist voll mit Spucke und Krmel. Es ist zwar neu bestellt, aber verwendet wahrscheinlich ein paar Jahre. Die Tastatur die ich jetzt habe, nach 4 Jahre, sieht viel besser aus.
Meine Rezension werde ich anpassen sobald ich eine neue Tastatur bekomme.
2 Sterne gebe ich weil es wirklich auf US Ansi Layout ist und weil sie angekommen ist.
Un teclado maravilloso que me ah encantado llego en perfecto estado excelente todo bien en su caja la verdad que me a dejado una sensacin demasiado buenas en el apartado de juegos y para tareas normales el sonido dijero y no muy ruidoso con los cherry red una compra excelente.
Calidad precio increble, me lo compre ademas con una rebaja ya que me pareca barato y me pareci doblemente barato cuando lo recib.
Materiales muy slidos, el tacto, el peso, la respuesta. Es un gran teclado.
Pegas solo tiene 2 y no tienen que ver con la calidad del producto.
La primera es que no tiene versin en espaol y tuve que comprar la US que no tiene la aunque puedes utilizarla por la forma de teclado que tienes configurada en windows.
Y la segunda es que el software de teclado para la configuracin RGB y tiene algunos bugs, nada del otro mundo ni nada que deba ser un impedimento para adquirir este producto pero algo molesto.
10/10
It was easy to install, and the typing feels good, it’s verry responsive, it has some nice bright light effects, the only down side is it needs the software to control the RGB.
El teclado tiene una suavidad excelente, que bien puede ayudarte al momento de teclear o desesperarte, si eres de dedos grandes se presionan otras teclas adems de la que quieres oprimir pero es cuestin de adaptarse a este tipo de teclado. La luz puede ser un poco molesta pero nada que no puedas bajarle a la intensidad de brillo y hacerla ms agradable.
Lo volvera a comprar.
Es un teclado de muy buena calidad, las teclas no hacen ruido, son suaves y el cable tipo-C tiene buena longitud, adems la iluminacin es increble y se le puede atenuar.
Sehr gute und auch schne Tastatur berrascht ein immer wieder mit den Features die man in der und mit der Hand einstellen kann sehr gute tasten Anordnung und gute Switches Eigt soweit nigs zu bemngel
It’s recommended by a friend of mine and I don’t regret buying it. Every press feels like a taste of Valhalla.
Pros:
– The sound it creates makes you feel like you’re making bank from typing.
– The curves on the key caps creates an illusionary grip on your fingers which I find kinda hot.
Cons:
– The software for controlling the lights does not persist the changes you made in the profiles. You have to end the process of the application in the task manager to save it. (not really a con, cuz it’s a defect on their software, meaning, it applies to all/some of their other keyboards).
There is no better keyboard than that below 100, switches are very responsible and the sound is very pleasant. Unfortunately software is very unintuitive, and USB port in the keyboard is wobbly, so you need to watch out to not to break i
Si buscas un teclado econmico y perfecto para jugar, esta es tu opcin. Sus materiales se sienten resistentes, es mecnico y tiene un rgb genial. Lo malo es que es difcil de configurar.
Es mi primer teclado mecnico ya que estaba esperando a comprar uno de buena calidad
No me decepcion, las teclas se sientes satisfactorias y no es muy ruidoso como pens , quiz le falta ms funciones al software pero la manera de personalizarlos es muy bonito y tiene RGB independiente en casa tecla , as que puedes personalizar todas y cada una de ellas
Se siente muy pesado por el cuerpo de aluminio
A mi parecer un muy buen teclado mecanico con switches red sin mencionar el rgb excelente y incluso su software personal, si es tu primer teclado de este estilo te lo recomiendo si eres de gustos algo minimalistas y simples , la compra 100% segura y llego el da estipulado en caja original y sellado
La distribucin es un aspecto importante del producto, aunque se puede configurar desde el software de HyperX, de ah en ms es muy bueno en lo que respecta a la comodidad, tanto para un trabajo de oficina como un momento de diversin en gaming.
It’s a beautiful keyboard, ready to use, and the Ngenuity software works like a charm, pretty straightforward.
I couldn’t recommend any other RGB mechanical gaming keyboard within this price range.
For the price of this keyboard I am extremely pleased. I ordered it and it came in very early which caught me completely off guard, when I took the keyboard out of the box the first thing I noticed was the weight. Unlike most keyboards I could notice it was fairly hefty for it’s size. The body feels sturdy (it has a aluminum base so of course), it feels very very nice to use, very responsive and to be completely honest I forgot about the RGB which was very bright and nice. I have no regret purchasing this, if you want a good keyboard for a good price I’d suggest this one for sure. I use a computer a lot as I play games and do a lot of work involving a computer and this keyboard hasn’t given me issues to date, also if you’re one of those people who like the sound of the clicks then this one is also another satisfying purchase, nice sounding clicks to the buttons. Great product!
Great keyboard, great quality, very bright RGB that is customizable per-key, and with many different animation patterns in the keyboard software as well. It easily would have become my new main keyboard were it not for the fact that this keyboard doesn’t come with a wrist rest. I have personally never personally encountered a mechanical gaming keyboard from a major recognizable brand that didn’t come with a wrist rest, other than the tiny “60%” keyboard, but this is much larger than that, as it is a full size keyboard except that it doesn’t have the numpad. I didn’t even consider the possibility that it might not have a wrist rest when I ordered it, and when it arrived, for several days I thought that the wrist rest was simply missing from the box.
The lack of rest makes it almost impossible for me to use it. Other people may not be bothered as much so your mileage may vary, but I found it impossible to game on without my palm constantly pressing the left control button by accident due to lack of clearance. I could barely handle WASD keys without pressing it but as soon as I would reach for any of the 1-5 keys or R, F, T, G, etc it would always activate the left control key.
To make matters worse, I checked with HyperX to see if they offered a wrist rest as an optional accessory. They do have one, and it is the absolute perfect width for this keyboard, but there are two problems. Firstly, it doesn’t clip in or connect with the keyboard in any way, it just sits next to it on the desk. Secondly, the wrist rest was far too high and ended up swinging the pendulum too far in the other direction to where now it was uncomfortable to press the lower row of keys because my wrist was so high up. It was probably twice the height it needed to be. So I felt quite disappointed by this and had to end up returning both the keyboard and the wrist rest.
I’m leaving at 4 stars because other than these issues, it was a really impressive keyboard and I’m sure there are people out there with slightly larger hands than me who will absolutely love it, but for an adult male with very average sized hands, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Great keyboard. It is built very well and the keys feel nice to press. HyperX software is very good and easy to use.
it has a nice sound but the stabalizers are rattling and when i pulled the spacebar keycaps off once the stabilizers stem got out and wouldnt get in again so if you want to mod it i dont recommend i
J’utilise ce clavier tout les jours, principalement pour le gaming et je ne regrette en rien mon achat, au contraire. Il est trs beau, pse son poid, superbe switches et logiciel Hyperx au top. Je recommande 100%
So, once I determined that there was just no saving the original, I hopped on Amazon to see if it was too late to get a next-day replacement. Most of the mechanicals I saw were already past the 1-day threshold and then I saw this one.
First, it’s tenkeyless – and even though I don’t ever find myself using that keypad, it’s still tough to imagine giving one up until you’ve tried. But I loved the footprint, there was a refurbed model at a great discount and I squeaked in to next-day delivery with like 26 minutes to spare.
Final verdict: I don’t miss the ten-key pad at all… in fact I LOVE the tiny desk footprint. On top of that, I got the red (linear) keys and the typing action is very solid.
The keyboard uses aircraft-grade aluminum on both top and bottom, so it’s got incredible weight and doesn’t slide all over my desk when I’m deep into some intense FPS’ing. And here’s the cherry on top: the keys sit well above the keyboard’s top… so, if you drop some crumbs or similar, a 3 second burst of canned air has it looking brand new again. Coffee or soda is probably going to be an issue but any fluid is going to have no problem draining immediately off this keyboard, whereas many of the mechanicals I’ve seen have switches inset into channels that block fluid runoff, so it’s at least a potential help.
If you’re looking for a rock-solid mechanical with excellent key-press action, and don’t need the keypad, I think this is a fantastic choice. I work and play on this keyboard and have no complaints about how well it performs. FWIW, I’m not using the software that adds support for more lighting schemes and macros, but I hear it’s sort of a mixed bag with folks who do.
Lste meine alte Alloy FPS RGB auch von Hyperx ab. Die war mit Kalith Silver Switches ausgestattet. Konnte mich nie wirklich 100% damit anfreunden, da mir die Switches einfach zu sensibel waren. Vor allem fr den alltglichen Brokram war sie kaum zu gebrauchen. Nach zwei Jahren gab sie nun langsam so den Geist auf (kaputte Switches, Doppelklicks etc.)
Auf der Suche nach ner neuen bin ich auf das “Nachfolgemodell” aufmerksam geworden.
PRO Punkte, welches fr mich auch wichtig waren bei einer Tastatur sind:
– mechanische NUR mit Cherry MX Red oder vergleichbare Switches
– Material
– Gre
– offene Tastatur (Keys nicht im Gehuse)
Das wars auch schon. Die Hyperx Red Switches fhlen sich genauso gut an wie herkmmliche Reds und sollen angeblich auch langlebiger sein (haben die auch bei den Silver gemeint lol RIP meine alte). Fr den alltglichen Gebrauch ist sie auch zu empfehlen. Schreibe mit ihr ohne Probleme darauf. Zocken war eh nie das Problem bei solchen Tastaturen. Lautstrke und Druckgefhl auch optimal. Verarbeitung TOP. RGB kann man mit der Software einstellen wie man. Man kann 3 Profile auf dem Keyboards speichern und danach die Software wieder deinstallieren. Das US Layout ist kein Problem. In Win10 auf deutsches stellen. Dann muss man die Tasten nur herausfinden. Umlaute sind z.B auf den Tasten {[. immer noch auf E.
Fr die jetzigen aufgerufenen 84 gibt es fr mich keine bessere. Alle andere die zur Zeit in Angebot sind wie z.B. Logitech G PRO TKL, Logitech G213, Logitech G41 haben schlechtere Switches oder sind viel zu klobig. Einzig allein die Corsair K63 kommt an den Anforderungen heran und ist auch fast 10 gnstiger. Bin aber von HyperX vollends berzeugt.
Body is entirely made out of aluminum, it’s heavy, sturdy and an overall great keyboard
J’ai command ce clavier qui est arriv en 4 jours, un clavier assez lger, un RGB plus qu’ excellent, les couleurs sont magnifiques et ressortent bien par rapport beaucoup d’autres clavier.
Les switches rouges sont vraiment trs agrable, pour crire ou jouer des jeux vido c’est vraiment un pur plaisir.
Sa taille en 80% est trs pratique lorsque qu’on a une sensibilit sur les jeux vidos basse.
Le seul petit problme que j’ai eu avec le clavier c’est lorsque j’ai install le logiciel pour le RGB, plus rien ne marchait, c’tait apparemment un problme du logiciel qui ne pouvait pas tre mis a jour.
Mais j’ai trouv la solution sur internet et tout remarche normalement.
Je vous conseille fortement ce clavier qui as un prix assez lev mais qui reste trs correct.
+ Teclado mecnico brutal en relacin calidad/precio. Parece hasta barato para lo que es.
+ Teclado pesado, casi 1kg dira yo, algo que a m personalmente me agrada ya que es un perfecto antideslizante.
+ Formato TKL o tenkeyless, muy compacto. Perfecto para ahorrar un poquito de espacio, sobre todo si no tenemos una mesa muy grande.
+ Layout estadounidense; la letra no existe. Sin embargo, no es un problema ya que si en la configuracin de Windows la distribucin del teclado est configurada en Espaol, cuando presionemos la tecla que est a la derecha de la L, estaremos escribiendo la igualmente. Al final, lo nico que cambia es que la tecla no tiene la pintada.
+ Hablando de pintura… Un detallito chulo es que las teclas no estn pintadas. Esto hace que no solo no se desgasten del uso hasta borrarse, sino que adems son transparentes y se iluminan con el RGB.
+ Cuerpo muy robusto fabricado en aluminio aeronutico de altsima calidad con un aspecto negro mate muy bonito.
+Cable mallado y extrable.
+ Switches rojos!!! Cuando eres nuevo en esto de los teclado mecnicos, te sueles a ir a por unos switches ms clicky como los azules, pero cuando llevas un tiempo con ellos te acabas cansando de lo ruidosos que son, sobre todo si te da por jugar a altas horas de la noche o juegas con amigos.
No entiendo ni media de switches ni soy capaz de notar la diferencia entre switches mecnicos y membrana en cuanto a tiempo de respuesta y esas cosas ms tcnicas, as que no os puedo decir nada ms aparte de que no son muy ruidosos.
LO QUE NO ME HA GUSTADO:
– Las teclas son completamente lisas y da la sensacin de que la grasa de las manos se va a quedar incrustada con mucha facilidad. Nada que no se pueda solucionar pasndole el tpico trapito de microfibra para limpiar pantallas o gafas.
– El software, HyperX NGENUITY, es una aplicacin UWP y se descarga directamente desde la Tienda de Microsoft. Es completa en cuanto a personalizacin, pero no consigo cargar los perfiles desde el teclado, y creo que no soy el nico. Hay varios hilos en foros y Reddit que hablan de lo mismo y al final la conclusin es que puede ser un problema de software o firmware. Veremos si en las prximas actualizaciones se soluciona.
Really good for the money
I bought this without my parents knowing and I think this keyboard is pretty li
From my experience this is the best keyboard i have used in years, the red switches have a quick response time and a very satisfying sound. The preset RGB patterns are great but you can also customize it to your own preference which allows more personalization, this makes you able to match it with the color scheme of your set up. Overall its a great keyboard for gaming and definitely worth the price
This keyboard was rated the best by a lot of youtube channels last year. It types really well, very quiet and there is some customisation for the lighting which is cool. The connection is type C and I think that is the reason why it has failed to be recognised by my PC a few times upon starting, which often results in my having to restart my PC for it to work. Also, this keyboard is not easy to clean, but then again, what keyboard is.
Thee keyboard is fully aluminium so its very solid, only complaints I have are the abs keycaps and the slight spring noise coming from the hyperx red switches.
Best keyboard ever bought, made of aluminium and super stable, software to customise LEDs and great switches.
Brought for my gaming son. He absolutely loves it. Says the keyboard and keys are easy on the fingers and very light.
To maximise the RGB and also to soften the keys Id suggest buying the pudding keycaps and changing the existing key caps. They take this keyboard to the next level
Pros :
+I love that it’s fairly lightweight, comes with a detachable braided usb-c cord, while offering 3 levels of adjustment for height.
+Girlfriend approved ; The switches feel very good when typing (which is the main thing I do with this keyboard). They aren’t too loud, don’t click as much as my previous ‘board (and I love that), but it feels as rewarding to type with it.
+Playing FPS games such as COD on the keyboard feels super good and the TKL format is perfect for gaming.
Cons :
-The keys feel good, although standard ABS quality (which for a 160$ keyboard feels a bit cheap).I replaced the standard keycaps with doubleshot PBT keycaps from Razer (since the HyperX’s were out of stock).
-Ngenuity is not Mac OS compatible, therefore, you cannot configure your keyboard to stay a specific color… That’s not the keyboard’s fault, but on HyperX’s end.
-Unable to remap some keys on Mac OS…
I am changing this review after having had HyperX replace the keyboard and a lot of heavy use with no further issues. It very much seems that they learned their lesson from this, and the software is now available for install outside the Microsoft ecosystem, which was far and away my biggest gripe. It also now works flawlessly. I have to hand it to HyperX, they learned their lesson and pushed hard to fix it. I should not have left my review at 1-star for such a long time. This now gets a solid 4-stars from me.
“Take a step away from membrane keyboards!” they said.
“You’ll enjoy it!” they said.
I did. Until I didn’t.
See, for the most part, I love it; mine’s got the HyperX Red switches, and they feel really nice, other than I would’ve liked a little less resistance on the keypress for typing and stuff. The RGB is pretty, the keys are stabilized well, overall the keyboard made the first two weeks very pleasant. And then the problems began.
At first it was minor, one press in ten, the ‘c’ key wouldn’t actually register. Then one time in 5, then one in 2, and then it would take several keypresses to actually get it to register. “Surely the switch has failed.” I thought. So, I rang up HyperX support, and they had me troubleshoot the issue, and lo and behold, it’s a simple fix, a driver update via their NGENUITY software. Great, easy enough, except many people start getting a sinking feeling when you talk about peripheral hardware and driver failure in the same sentence.
Fast forward a month or so, and all of the sudden, I press the ‘m’ key, only to have nothing happen. I press it again; it works. A fluke? No, now it only gets one in ten presses, if that. Alright, I’ll just update the drivers again right? WRONG. Because now NGENUITY can’t see the keyboard. Restart? Replug? Nothing works. Alright then, uninstall NGENUITY and everything will work great, surely? As it turns out, this is just one layer of the failure onion that HyperX, a generally reputable division of Kingston, has created.
So let’s approach this layer by layer. First off, we have keys randomly failing due to driver issues. This begs the question of what the he** the drivers are doing that individual keys can fail and leave all other functionality unaffected. What is going on under the hood that permits this. Then we have the NGENUITY software, which at first glance, isn’t all that bad. It’s at second and third glance that it gets really bad. Now we have another key failure, but now NGENUITY can’t tell the keyboard is there. The logical option is to reinstall, but HyperX decided, in their infinite wisdom, “Hey, let’s make this install exclusively through the Microsoft Store. That definitely won’t make the software a complete pain to troubleshoot.”. Well, funny story, you can uninstall it, but thanks to Microsoft’s garbage “store” software, it, in my case at least, cannot be reinstalled. It just throws error 0x80073D05 ad infinitum.
Normally, if you uninstalled something and then couldn’t reinstall it, you’d just purge every mention of it in your filesystem right? Well in this case, you can’t. Store apps are kept in a hidden file that it appears even administrator accounts can no longer grant themselves access to, so as much as I’d like to simply purge everything associated with this software and have another go, I can’t. Even if NGENUITY worked, I wouldn’t have a way to install it. So now I have a keyboard that has, in my definition, failed. Keypresses go in, letters come out. If letters don’t come out, the keyboard has failed.
Somehow, HyperX has made great hardware, then kneecapped it with awful software that installs through a worse platform. I’d love this keyboard, but it doesn’t work, and I can’t even blame the keyboard for it. Hardware failures I can understand, a certain number of units are going to be DOA, that’s life, but software rendering hardware unusable? That’s just sheer incompetence, nothing less, especially when you’re pushing unstable versions of software to customers who already have the hardware, which then renders it unusable.
This has really degraded my confidence in HyperX as a whole, and just as Razer’s DeathAdder and Logitech’s G502 left a bad taste in my mouth over their hardware (thus, leading to me looking elsewhere for a new keyboard), HyperX has demonstrated an egregious level of incompetence I’ve never encountered.
