Hyper X Alloy Rise 75 Wireless Keyboard Black $94.50 + Delivery ($0 NSW C&C)

• +10·CrispyChrispy·3d ago

  Owned this keyboard for a bit. Wouldn't pay more than $50 for it. Sounds/feels like your average crappy $40 mechanical keyboard. Software is meh. Stabs are meh. Build is meh. Only thing it has going for it is hotswap capability and the side-glow RGB is alright. Not a super bouncy gasket mount but it has some give. Not hall effect, so if you're wanting an actual gaming keyboard spend 2/3s the price and get an actual HE board. I have no idea if this is a good deal but $95 for a metal plate keyboard This has literal zero effect on the keyboard's acoustic performance and minimal impact on how sturdy the build is. The whole case is plastic, it's only the removable top plate that's metal. You see all the companies like Razer, Logitech, Corsair boasting 'aero grade aluminium plate' or so similar and it means absolutely nothing. It's aesthetics only. It might have meant something 10 years ago, not anymore now that there are solid metal boards out there
