Questions & Answers

What's the best way to keep it a solid color? I tried pressing the FN key while also pressing the arrow keys, but it didn't work. ?

This particular answer area is precisely why I believe that not everyone should be allowed to respond to questions. There should be Ambassadors who provide reliable answers or l up so that the OP and the rest of the community are not confused. You DO realize that if you don't know the answer to a question, you don't have to answer it, right? If you do respond, you will not receive cookies. br>br>Oh no.

How do I program the colors on my mouse, but not on my keyboard?

On the top right, there is a color switch that is very simple to use.

How can the breathing effect be turned off?

On the top left corner of the keyboard, there are three buttons: one on the far right, one on the far left, and one on the far left. The one on the left controls the brightness, the one in the middle controls the colors (as well as the breathing effect), and the one on the right activates Gaming mode, which effectively disables ALT-TAB. The windows button and the TAB key. The middle button is the one you're looking for.

It Could've Been the Key to Saving Our Relationship
5/5

I think this is the quietest keyboard I've ever seen, and I like it. My husband is a PC gamer, and I have an extreme sensitivity to noise. We tested several "silent" gaming keyboards after three and a half years of annoyance, arguments, and a lot of frustration, and this was by far the best of the bunch. I would buy this keyboard again in a heartbeat because it was well worth the money.

This is a great keyboard
5/5

I've owned a lot of mechanical keyboards, mostly with Cherry MX Brown switches, and I needed something quieter because I spend a lot of my time on conference calls. I bought this HyperX alloy Core RGB keyboard during Amazon's Prime Day 2019 sale and am very happy with it. PROS: br>br>

They're far superior to the knockoff Cherry brown switches I've used on Chinese keyboards.
- Quiet - This keyboard has a very low noise level. There is no jittering noise from the keycaps, no noise when the key bottoms out, and no noise when the key returns to its original position. br> There is no software available. You do not require or have access to software to manage the settings on this keyboard.

A fantastic ringing sound, but it's too loud? The keyboard itself is fantastic, but as soon as you turn on the lights, it emits a loud ringing noise
3/5

The sound stops as soon as the keyboard's backlights are turned off. Maybe I got a bad product, but if this is the norm (which I can't imagine), I'm not going to keep it.

Update: In 6 months, I was able to resolve some serious issues
3/5

After contacting customer service, I waited a few days for a response, but there was none. I contacted them through Amazon and their official website. br> It seemed like the right thing to do, but no response has been received. br>br>The keyboard frequently dies, requiring you to unplug and re-plug it to get it to work again. br>br>The lights will be turned on, but the computer will not respond to key presses. I've unplugged and plugged it back in seven times in the last 24 hours. It will die suddenly and unexpectedly. There isn't any wear-and-tear on this item. and-tear on the cords, and it must be a hardware issue because it works fine after plugging it back in; however, unplugging your keyboard and plugging it back in seven times in one day is ridiculous. br>br>If they fix it, I'll be sure to update this review. They haven't, according to this review.

Excellent quality, lovely lighting, and whisper-quiet typing This keyboard is fantastic; it checks all of my boxes
5/5

Silent keys, beautiful lighting, and a sleek design! If you don't like "clackety-clackety-clackety-clackety-clackety-clackety- If you want RGB but don't need a hardcore gaming keyboard, you'll like this keyboard; I'm an occasional gamer who mostly uses it for office work, so it's perfect and doesn't cost $100. a lot of weight It has a duty-like feel to it, as if it will last; time, as it always does, will tell. This replaces a different RGB keyboard I purchased in September 2016 and had to replace a few weeks ago. Rest assured, that review has been updated. A keyboard, at the very least, should last ten years. I've used crappy Dell OEMs that worked, so a nicer upgraded one should as well. The top buttons for media and board control, as well as the "HyperX" logo, are not lighted, which on a board of this quality SHOULD be. Although $50 is less than many keyboards, it is not "cheap" in my opinion. Despite this, I continue to give this keyboard 5 stars!.
