Pros

• Passthrough ports.
• Sturdy cable.
• Pudding keycaps
• RGB is impressive.
• Media keys and scroll wheel.

Cons

• A bit of a grease magnet.
• Shiny keycaps are slippery.
• Lots of competition around this price-point.

KitGuru says: There are lots of other keyboards out there in this price range, but If you’re looking for impressive RGB and something that is really sturdy this is a great buy. The HyperX Alloy Elite 2 delivers the key specs needed for gaming and it handles itself well in pretty much all situations. The pudding keycaps are also very easy on the eye.
