CHERRY® MX mechanical keyswitches for proven reliability

Available with CHERRY MX Blue, Brown or Red keyswitches, so you can get the proven reliability of CHERRY in the style that you prefer. 

A responsive, reliable keyboard is required gear on the battlefield of the latest FPS games, legendary MOBAs and epic MMO worlds. HyperX™ Alloy keyboards proudly feature CHERRY® MX keyswitches to give you an edge in reactivity and durability. German-engineered and guaranteed for more than 50 million keystrokes, CHERRY keyswitches use pioneering Gold Crosspoint technology to provide high-precision key contact and unmatched reliability. Whether you love the audible click of every keystroke landing or prefer quieter typing, CHERRY has a switch that fits your needs. CHERRY keyswitches in HyperX Alloy keyboards respond with minimal actuation force, and that means less joint wear and tear and greater comfort, whether you’re crushing the competition or cranking out a 30-page essay.

 

Tested HyperX Alloy Elite keyboard has Cherry MX Red switches and I can say they are working like it’s described. Responsiveness is really rapid and switches are not making any noise. On the other hand fast typing is making more noise than on a typical keyboard.
