    @@shahmeermalik4897 I love it, typing on it right now. Switches definitely took some getting used to, the actuation point of my old keyboard was much greater, so I was a little too rough on this keyboard at first and was hitting keys by mistake. Now I'm used to it, and it feels amazing. Great for gaming and typing. Not to mention it just looks so nice, well worth the money.

    @@shahmeermalik4897 Sorry for the late reply, youtube only decided to notify me just now. I used a drevo kalibur mechanical keyboard. I had the wireless version with "red" switches. Keyboard was about $50 and it definitely felt like a cheap keyboard. It was mechanical, 10 keyless design; switches were ok for typing but not great for gaming. That was my keyboard I got for my ipad, so before *that* I was using a razer blackwidow chroma. I got tired of how loud the keyboard was, and one of the metal brackets attached to the spacebar to hold it in place broke *twice*. I've since fixed the keyboard and found out it's practically worthless to resell, so it's just sitting in its box in my room.

    Nice videro dude, but I noticed it doesn't come with the wrist wrest and doesn't seem like much of an improvement compared to the Alloy Elite RGB. Although, I ended up buying the HyperX Pudding PBT Keycaps which this new model looks like it has and they definitely emit the RGB goodness a lot more. I dunno, seems nice they've refreshed the board as I love my experience with it so far but not nice that HyperX continued to ignore supporting the Alloy Elite RGB through their newest software (I'm guessing this refresh may point something out here).

    Hey thanks! Yea they said they removed the Alloy Elite rgb support due to issues but promised to reintroduce it this summer but I'm not sure where they are on that. If you already have the Alloy Elite rgb with pbt keycaps it's definitely not worth the upgrade, but if you're coming from a cheap or old keyboard, this is a great option.

    Depends on what you want, the elite 2 has dedicated media controls and better rgb, but if you are on a tight buget the alloy fps rgb will do fine. Though if you can I would recommend to at least wait for the fps pro to get a discount and then buy it, it's far superior.
