HyperX’sAlloy Core RGBis a full size membrane gaming keyboard, featuring RGB lighting, dedicated media and game locks keys, and the signature HyperX radiant light bar.

Intending to bring a high-quality gaming experience without a high-quality price tag, the Alloy Core loads membrane soft-touch keys, with anti-ghosting and anti-rollover, into a durable plastic body to achieve “stability and reliability for gamers”. Lighting is controlled via the on-board keys, while the Game Mode key disables the Windows key to help avoid in-game disruption. The media keys provide a dedicated and easily-accessible method of control for both music and video, as well as volume and muting control.
