HyperX, a division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the HyperX ALLOY FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is now shipping in Germany, UK, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. The full-size mechanical gaming keyboard has a space-saving layout allowing gamers to maximize desktop real estate for FPS mouse movement. The HyperX ALLOY FPS keyboard features Cherry MX Blue Mechanical switches to provide the tactile feedback and performance to support extreme gameplay and enable players to be the best gamers possible.

Built with a solid steel alloy frame, the HyperX ALLOY FPS keyboard features Cherry MX Blue Mechanical switches, HyperX red LED backlighting and six preset LED modes - including a custom mode. The keyboard also offers Game Mode to easily disable the Windows key to prevent game play interruptions, along with 100 percent anti-ghosting and full N-Key rollover functionality. For added flexibility and performance, HyperX ALLOY FPS features an easy access USB charging port located on the back of the keyboard, additional HyperX red-colored WASD/1234 keys, a detachable braided cord, and mesh travel pouch for protection and storage on the move.



"After extensive research and hundreds of hours of gameplay testing, HyperX developed a mechanical keyboard from the ground up to withstand the most intense gameplay, featuring a small footprint that is vital for FPS gamers. With its solid steel alloy frame and Cherry MX Blue switches, this keyboard is designed for over 50 million keystrokes per key," said Edward Baily, business manager, HyperX. "Gamers who play FPS classics like CS:GO or Overwatch will appreciate its compact yet sturdy design. The HyperX ALLOY FPS keyboard design gives gamers more space to setup their desktop surface to execute intricate mouse actions."

One of the eSports teams HyperX works with is Echo Fox, owned by Rick Fox, who previously played professional basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers. CS:GO player Sean "sG@res" Gares, Echo Fox, tested the new keyboard and said: "The HyperX Alloy is the perfect keyboard for me due to the excellent feedback of the Cherry MX Blue switches, it's compact size, and the extremely durable steel alloy frame. I also love the unique detachable cord for easy portability and the USB charging dock for my phone!"

HyperX is an avid supporter of eSports and the gaming community, developing products designed specifically for FPS genres - including the HyperX Cloud Revolver headset, which delivers a studio-grade sound stage that enables gamers to directionally target the enemy, enhanced comfort and superior quality. The new HyperX ALLOY FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is the official keyboard of Intel Extreme Masters and used in the Intel Showcase across all Season 11 gaming events. Additionally, ALLOY FPS is the recommended keyboard of top gaming organizations such as NaVi Gaming, Echo Fox and Hell Raisers.

Availability and Support
The ALLOY FPS Gaming Keyboard (MSRP £99.99) is available now through HyperX's network of retail and e-tail outlets. Alloy FPS includes a two-year limited warranty and HyperX's industry leading customer service and support.

Nice to see they've included a USB port on the keyboard. I hope the trend makes a comeback; it's a very convenient feature for connecting a mouse, gamepad, or USB stick without too much clutter.

Also of note... it's not RGB lighting. Just plain red lighting for practical illumination in dark rooms without searing one's retinas.

Mechanical keyboard with 5cm line and no palm rest. And people thought Nintendo thumb was the worst gaming symptom. Gamers with this keyboard will have hands like T-Rex, all tiny and crooked...

Crappy Caps lock, and a true gaming keyboard would cater for both left and right handed people :p, For what this offers i think there are better options out there and cheaper in most cases.

Crappy Caps lock,



Hey, as usualy the civilized world get it right.

I like the looks of it tbh. If I were to splurge €120 on a keyboard this would be a contender.

The info stated that the usb ports are power through only; no data can be accessible.
