(some) Singleplayer games are useful to have a full keyboard for, IMHO.

literally buying this keyboard for the numpad.. I need it for squad :')

No per-key rgb? 🤮

I got my Alloy Elite 2 for 90 USD … got some extra money so I bought PBT Pudding from HyperX too and it was awesome!

i can only warn everyone buying products from hyperX. the keyboard looks amazing, feels stiff and strong but the long term quality is terrible and not worthy a flagship, hyperX knows that, but refuses to help you, in case you contact the support, save yourselves troubles and look for other brands, my alloy elite lasted 2,2 years and the switches started to break down, talking about a minimum of 50mio clicks per switch… disappointing considering my last keyboard ve lasted over 12 years! same care and usage as always, i don't know if razer, corsair etc. got similar issues, i can only tell you not to waste your time and money on hyperX products

its my first mechanical keyboard and i love it my dad got it for me when it was on sale at best buy. it's pretty much perfect for me with the way i got everything setup on my desk. i had a little paint peel off at the bottom but that's probably from using it so much, some testors paint helped cover it up. the rgb shining through the pudding keyboard keycaps is pretty and bright, and i like the way it sounds and feels when typing. i've been using openrgb for rgb software since i got a hyperx keyboard, razer mouse, and gigabyte motherboard, it lets me control all 3 of them, doesn't support as many effects but just want good matching colors for my wallpaper scheme. if you wear glasses the red accents underneath can give off a kinda cool "3d glasses" glare effect if you have your keys set to a nice blue or purple color

While you might not need or want a num pad, taking it away entirely from gaming board would be a mistake. modular keyboards would be a good middle ground for this I suppose cause you can attach and detach them whenever you want, but the last thing I want to have to do is buy an extra thinjg I have to plug in because I hate typing numbers using a 1 – 9 layout instead of a keypad. it'll stick out from everything else too. I'm all about saving desk space but my setup is a home studio, I have much less space than all of you, my desk is always full of midi controllers and a numpad on my keyboard (logitech g512 for size reference) has not been an issue at all. you all just get too obsessed with Order and forget about functions.

numbpads can be used for macros! saves space on those outside macros that corsair k95 have that sucks

I’ve had this board for a good while now and I absolutely love it. The switches are the best I’ve used, the RGB is amazing and the build quality is really great. I plan on keeping this for a long time!

just got mine on sale for 89.99 love this keyboard
