### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recommend
*by A***A on 29 March 2025*

Good quality of workmanship and visual. It completely met my expectations. A product worth recommending - money well spent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best Mechanical Keyboards
*by M***S on 23 July 2021*

If you're looking for a good mechanical keyboard for gaming, I would highly recommend this one. Not only does it sound nice with its HyperX Linear red switches but the RGB looks fantastic with its bright colours. Although people say that linear switches aren't that efficient for typing, I personally enjoy typing with it as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Generally good responsiveness and build quality but keycaps may have a limited lifespan.
*by M***K on 23 April 2025*

I found this to be a decent, relatively affordable gaming/mechanical keyboard. I didn't really care about the RGB effects - most of my useage is actually office work (I like the feel of the mechanical keyboard for typing) so RGB is a distraction mostly, plus the software is a bit weird (presets that you save to the keyboard can't be used till you completely exit the Ngenuity software, which is unintuitive). However, it's nice to be able to see the keys in low light, and also highlight certain keys when gaming, so I actually think it's a better feature than I was expecting. However, my main bugbear is that the keycaps are not great quality. After about 3 years of use they started to break. The cross-shaped (4U or 6U, not sure which it is) mounts started breaking like in the picture and then the keycap is useless, it will just fall off. You would think it was a problem with keys that got mashed a lot whilst playing games (I mostly play CS2, the kids play Minecraft and Geometry Dash, so I guess there is SOME punishment going on). But it wasn't especially - I think the left Ctrl key broke and the F key, and I think a couple of number keys as well, which suggests maybe they are of inconsistent quality. Replacement keycaps from HyperX are quite expensive - you have to buy a whole set, so I bought an aftermarket set for much less money and replaced them all. They aren't the same as the originals but work fine - you should know that any cross-type keycaps can be used with this keyboard so that's a big plus in itself, if they do break or get very dirty or worn, you can replace them, just prise them off and pop the new ones on. I have only docked one star because I still feel this keyboard is decent quality for the money, is responsive and does its job well but you need to be aware that the keycaps perhaps aren't as durable as you might want and will need to be replaced at some point, especially if they come in for a lot of punishment.
