With features like dedicated media controls, a USB 2.0 pass-through, and on-board easy access buttons the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 keyboard is one of the best-value mechanical gaming keyboards on the market. At such a competitive price, I won't be surprised if more gamers start becoming HyperX loyalists. There are some missed opportunities that I wish were addressed but overall I think that the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 will have a permanent home on my desk for the forseeable future.
