HyperX Alloy FPS Pro

Just figured I would leave a testament to this keyboard for anyone that may see this down the road and is perhaps in the market for this keyboard.

I have several mechanical keyboards and I'm not easy on them. When I'm not working I'm on my computer, I eat and watch all content on my computer which over enough time wrecks mechanical keyboards. Tonight I spilled Coke Zero on my Logitech G 915 tkl and it wigged out. So while pondering which keyboard to pull out my first thought was "ole faithful". Somehow this keyboard has been through the wringer the past few years and other than the e key missing a couple strokes while typing this.... It hasn't let me down. It's not my only cherry keyboard either. Something about it makes it bulletproof. I've used it a lot and go back to it often so it has just as much if not more time on it than most others.

Did I mention it's relatively affordable? Or rather it was in March of 2020 when I think I got it.

Anyways the e key has started acting right by the end of this, the key's feel excellent and the layout leaves little to be desired. Only thing I'm missing from my logitech is the volume wheel and RGB, the lights just stay stock anyways.

If you're on the fence, pull the trigger, it's such a good keyboard.

86 bucks CAD, TKL, and Cherry MX. Cable is detachable but looks like USB Mini-B so ehh... not the best but for that price, could do a lot worse.

You could buy the neck older HyperX Alloy Origins at that price range, it internally performs better especially for repetitive inputs, and the only loss you take is in keycap quality as theyre very hollow and fragile but generally you always wanna swap OEM caps anyway.
