Gaming hardware manufacturer HyperX is adding the Alloy Elite 2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard to its Alloy Keyboard Lineup. It employs red linear HyperX Mechanical Switches, “built for performance, longevity and an 80 million lifetime click rating per switch,” and it uses HyperX Pudding Keycaps, which sport a translucent dual-layer design. Additionally, the Alloy Elite 2 features dedicated media keys, quick access buttons, and a volume wheel. The keyboard itself is constructed with a solid steel frame. 

The Alloy Elite 2 ships with a light bar with LED lighting, dynamic RGB lighting effects and RGB colors, along with per-key lighting, customizable via HyperX NGENUITY software. Said software allows users to personalize Game Mode and macro settings. The keyboard includes a USB 2.0 pass through, 100 percent anti-ghosting, and full N-key rollover functionalities. It also comes with onboard memory for keyboard customization, allowing users to create up to three profiles.
