Reddit reviews HyperX Alloy FPS - Mechanical Gaming Keyboard & Accessories - Compact Form Factor - Clicky - Cherry MX Blue - Red LED Backlit (HX-KB1BL1-NA/A1)

Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch UHD LED-Lit Monitor with Freesync support $279.99

HyperX Alloy Mechanical Keyboard BLUES ONLY $69.99

Logitech G610 Orion BROWNS ONLY $69.99

Found out HyperX MX Blue is for $70!!!
I don't really like Blues tho.

Avoid Razer. I had a BW 2014 Classic. It was PATHETIC in quality. Keys went bad in 5-6 months of usage.

Currently using a HyperX Alloy Cherry Blue which I picked up from Amazon for ~Rs.6000. Been using since 1 year 2 months now, working just as good as day one.

If you don't want RGB, but want genuine Cherry MX, then TVS Bharat Gold is a good keyboard for the cheap, but since you're willing to spend, these are decent options:

• HyperX Alloy Cherry Blue(red-LED) -- https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01LWMXIRY/ (I'm using this myself)
  
  
• CoolerMaster MasterKeys Pro L White LED -- https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01LRY4YRW/ (I've used it before buying the HyperX keyboard, this was the reason I returned it. It might be a very nitpicky issue in general, but for me it was a deal-breaker, sadly. And I know a few people who might be irritated by it. So just read about it on the linked thread.)

Did you ever type on a mechanical keyboard? The first time I tried one I was immediately faster while typing and it felt amazing.

Programmability and therefore macros seems to be standard most of the time, even my 25€ board could program every single key to my liking.
The Vortex Race 3 I bought supports macros of up to 32 keystrokes. The reason I bought a 75% keyboard over an even smaller one is so I can use the F-Row for gaming macros.
I can't imagine the left row of dedicated macro keys on the horde to be very comfortable to reach.

I don't want to put you off of your decision, but I'd highly encourage you to check out the other options you have with 100€. If you still find the horde to fit your needs the best, than it is still a great decision for you.

Edit:
Check out the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L

Or the hyper X fury alloy

Both are decent full size gaming keyboards and if you've got the spare money they are also available as RGB.

???

Hey! I wanna buy a full-sized keyboard with cherry mx blue switches. I don't need RGB/macros and things like that, but I'm from Spain so I would like a keyboard with de "ñ" key, which is not very easy to find on mechanical keyboards to be honest. Budget is -150€ if possible. HyperX Alloy FPS is probably the better option that I found. Is there anything else with those specs?

Thanks a lot!

hi, I´m going to buy a new mechanical keyboard, i´m from colombia so the normal keyboard recomendations dont apply to me, i have 2 options: https://www.amazon.com/TOMOKO-Mechanical-Keyboard-Water-Resistant-Anti-ghosting/dp/B01DBJTZU2 and https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Mechanical-Keyboard-HX-KB1BL1-NA-A1/dp/B01LWMXIRY/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480965225&sr=1-1&keywords=hyperx+keyboard (i know this are very diferent keyboards), the Kingston Hyperx cost 117 usd in my country and the tomoko cost 65 usd. i'm studying software ingeniring so i´m going use my keyboard to code, is worth the extra price for the hyperx? pd: this are the cheapest mechanical keyboards in my country. thanks. (as always, sorry for my english)

There are 2 versions, the hyperx alloy fps, which is a full size board and then the alloy fps pro which is a tkl one.

HyperX-HX-KB1BL1-NA-Mechanical-Gaming

It is currently over 9k, but on sale this was for 5k and then extra card discount.

If you are primarily gaming then I don't think you should have a lot of problems in switching to tkl.

Found it

KB: HyperX Alloy FPS $100 (Comes in Blue, Red, or Brown MX Switches)
Mouse: Corsair M65 FPS $50 or Logitech G502 $80 (For sale on Amazon at $53)

The HyperX Alloy Mechanical is still on sale for $69.99 but it is 1-4 week delay now and has Cherry Blues, which are a bit stiffer and louder, meant more for typists than gamers but still nice if you like that style. There are versions with Browns and Reds that are $99.99 in stock.

The Hyper X also has additional textured WASD 1234 keys you can install.

Here you go

It's just another generic board that's advertised as a "gaming keyboard"
