HyperX Alloy Core RGB

The HyperX Alloy Core RGB is a poor keyboard for gaming. The keys have a high pre-travel distance that can feel unresponsive, and the keyboard doesn't have any dedicated macro keys for MMO games. As there's no software support or onboard memory, gamers won't be able to save profiles. The RGB backlight is great for gaming in a dark room, however, customization is limited to presets only.
