HyperX has always been committed to providing high-performance, high-quality gaming peripherals for gamers and enthusiasts, aiming to enhance gaming skills and bring more joy to players. Recently, HyperX has introduced two high-end gaming mechanical keyboards, the HyperX Alloy Rise Vanguard Gaming Mechanical Keyboard and the HyperX Alloy Rise 75 Vanguard 75 Gaming Mechanical Keyboard.
The HyperX Vanguard series gaming mechanical keyboards offer rich customization options, allowing for high levels of DIY customization to showcase players' personal styles. In terms of design, they feature an advanced Gasket structure, equipped with HyperX 2nd generation switches, and support hot-swappable functionality. This keyboard is also the first to feature an optical sensor in a gaming mechanical keyboard, enabling dynamic adjustment of RGB backlighting based on ambient lighting conditions.
Enriched Custom Design Showcases Personal Style
Every gamer is an individual with their own unique personality, and their gaming mechanical keyboard should reflect that. The HyperX Vanguard series gaming mechanical keyboard offers gamers a wealth of customization options, helping them showcase their personal style.
First, the HyperX Alloy Elite mechanical gaming keyboard from the Pioneer series introduces innovative tool-free magnetic switch tops, badges, and knobs, providing players with more fun in personal assembly. Players can also freely choose accessories and combine them to create personalized gaming mechanical keyboards. The aluminum magnetic switch tops are available in white and blue colors, and there are three sets of magnetic badges, each with three optional badges. Combined with hot-swappable switches and highly customizable RGB lighting settings, players can create their own personalized gaming gear.
In addition, the HyperX Alloy Elite mechanical gaming keyboard also provides players with several convenient operations. For example, dedicated media control buttons can change the volume or mute, allowing players to quickly adjust during intense gaming. The full-size keyboard also has three media keys for multimedia functions such as forward, backward, play, and pause. The left-aligned detachable USB interface also makes cable management and portability more convenient.
Consistent and smooth Gasket structure
The HyperX Alloy Elite mechanical gaming keyboard adopts the acclaimed Gasket structure (also known as a gasket structure). Many mass-produced mechanical keyboards now use a tray-style structure, where the PCB board is fixed to the shell with screws, and the holes on the positioning plate facilitate screw installation. This standardized installation method has lower costs but can result in different bottom-out feedback and sound feedback during typing, which is not suitable for players with high standards.
The Gasket structure of HyperX's Alloy series gaming mechanical keyboards uses spacers to cushion between the positioning plate and the PCB board. The positioning plate is secured by the upper and lower pressure of the keyboard's bottom and top shells, eliminating the need for internal screw fixation. This design reduces noise, enhances keyboard stability, provides consistent keystroke feedback, and ensures uniform keypress sound. In terms of keystroke feel, compared to other mechanical keyboards, it's gentler, softer, and more enjoyable.
HyperX Generation 2 linear switches support hot-swapping.
HyperX's proprietary switches have been a topic of discussion among gamers since their introduction, earning recognition from numerous professional esports players. To provide gamers with a better typing experience, after a period of design and development, the HyperX Generation 2 switches (linear switches|paragraph-style) have been introduced and integrated into the HyperX Alloy series gaming mechanical keyboards.
Improving the typing experience for gamers involves both the switches and keycaps. The HyperX 2nd gen switches feature a 5-pin design, supporting hot-swapping for players to freely customize according to their needs, further achieving keyboard personalization. Among them, the linear switches have a lower actuation force of only 40g, with a 1.8mm actuation point and a total travel distance of 4mm, providing faster feedback compared to regular keyboards, with over 80 million keystroke durability. The HyperX 2nd gen switches utilize POM half-walled vertical switches, with POM being a thermoplastic crystalline polymer known as "super steel" due to its high strength, stiffness, elasticity, low friction coefficient, and excellent wear resistance. Even after years of use, players can enjoy smooth and uninterrupted keystrokes, while also enhancing the stability of pre-installed HyperX PBT keycaps. Additionally, the keycaps are pre-lubricated at the factory to ensure smooth key presses.
Intelligent ambient light-adjusting gaming mechanical keyboard
Integrating ambient light sensors into gaming mechanical keyboards is a first, as these sensors were traditionally used in high-end lighting fixtures and display devices. Previously, after customizing the keyboard backlight brightness, whether in ample daylight or dimly lit nights, the backlight brightness remained constant without automatic adjustment. This often resulted in overly bright and glaring keyboards during nighttime or dull backlighting during daytime.
Adjusting keyboard backlight brightness repeatedly for optimal gaming comfort can be quite cumbersome for dedicated gamers. However, with the HyperX Alloy Elite series gaming mechanical keyboard, an intelligent light sensor discerns ambient light levels and adjusts the backlight brightness accordingly in real-time. This ensures the backlight shines brightly during the day and dazzlingly at night, always staying within the player's comfort zone. Previously tedious settings are now streamlined through the HyperX NGENUITY driver software, allowing for a single preference adjustment.
The Alloy Elite series represents HyperX's latest premium gaming mechanical keyboard offering, currently available in full-size and 75% layouts. The 75% layout frees up desktop space, providing more maneuvering room for the mouse, while players with ample desktop space can opt for the full-size version, featuring a numeric keypad to cater to a broader range of usage scenarios. Both keyboards excel in DIY customization and input performance, boasting sturdy construction and excellent tactile feedback, elevating playability, control, and sensory experience to new heights.
