EQUIPMENT

Bag Carrying bad protects the keyboard from damage, and will be familiar to owners of headsets HyperX Cloud. Acquisition as a whole leaves a good impression, given the cost of the keyboard at the level of 3225 UAH.APPEARANCE AND DESIGN
Gone are the days when a mechanical keyboard – it was something bulky and resembles a typewriter. HyperX Alloy FPS is no exception to this trend and is made in the minimum dimensions for a full-size keyboards.
HyperX designers managed to create a keyboard is not only compact in physical dimensions, but also visually. This is achieved due to the fact that she was covered with plastic housing only metal base and electronics and switches to caps protrude sufficiently significantly above the surface. This keyboard is not much different from their membrane or scissor colleagues and gives her only high profile plastic caps.
The keyboard was very hard, even during the toughest game battle she did not utter a single superfluous sound, except for the work switches. Praise also deserves quality plastic, it has turned out strong and practical. With an impressive weight of nearly 1 kilogram, as well as clingy rubber feet, HyperX Alloy FPS does not slide on the table under any circumstances.
LAYOUT FUNCTIONALITY
On testing version hit the keyboard with English and Russian layouts. This performance HyperX Alloy FPS received storey Enter and long left Shift. The keyboard lacks additional keys, macro support is not here. The shape of caps for standard mechanical keyboards from Cherry switches and the like, covering practical, fingers during fast typing is not leaking. The set contains removable keys W, A, S, D, and 1, 2, 3, 4, made in red and covered with non-slip texture, it will be appreciated by gamers.
There is a gentlemen’s set: Game Mode which turns off Win keys, multimedia player control keys, as well as the adjustment of the backlight. This functionality is implemented by Fn modifier. As expected from a mechanical keyboard is supported by an unlimited amount of simultaneous key presses (Full NKRO).
It is also worth noting the removable cable into the tissue sheath and the availability of additional port for charging devices.
SWITCHES
The keyboard is equipped with mechanical switches Cherry MX, in a test version we got the version with MX Blue. Recall, this model switches that have a tactile response and audible click when triggered at half speed.
The pressing force required for the operation – 45 grams. The keyboard in this version is perfect for typing, a little worse for the games. The market model will be available with other switches.
Switches installed in its original form, additional modifications to reduce noise, they do not possess. Just want to warn those wishing to purchase a keyboard with Cherry MX Blue – in the office or at home, if you are not one, a loud click can quickly enough to ruffle others, so if you set the text in priority, we suggest you pay attention to the MX Brown, and gamers – on MX Black / Red
BACKLIGHT
Mechanical gaming keyboard HyperX Alloy FPS received red backlighting with 6 effects and the ability to adjust the brightness within the 6 grades. Switch between effects can be directly on the keyboard and it is a definite plus.
The uniformity of illumination is traditionally not the strongest side of Cherry switches and HyperX Alloy FPS – is no exception. Well lit, only the upper part of the cap, but it can be corrected by a higher brightness level.
