SeekerHyperX Alloy Elite 2
The HyperX Alloy Elite 2 is an outstanding gaming keyboard. It features proprietary HyperX Red switches, which have a low actuation force. It has full RGB backlighting and every key is macro-programmable. Sadly, using it may feel tiring for long gaming sessions and it doesn't come with a wrist rest.

HyperX put its own key switches in the Alloy Elite 2, and the keyboard's better for it, but this solid mechanical model needs a set-apart feature, beyond its spiffy two-layer keycaps, to merit true "Elite" status.
