How about HyperX Alloy Rise?

Players who have used many capacitive or mechanical keyboards will slowly turn their interest to customized keyboards. Mass production keyboard is difficult to meet the needs of every player, some players like black appearance, others prefer white system; Some players like the game commonly used buttons are linear axis straight up and down style, some players love the trigger sound and feedback of paragraph axis; Some players like the colorful dynamic RGB light effect, and some players only want the ASDW keys to have RGB light effect. The demand is varied, can not make the mass-produced keyboard to be different from person to person, but the mass-produced customized keyboard can be. HyperX, which has been committed to providing high-performance, high-quality game peripheral products for game players and high-end enthusiasts, has recently launched two customized keyboards. The 104 configured HyperX Alloy Rise Pioneer gaming mechanical keyboard and the 75 configured HyperX Alloy Rise 75 Pioneer 75 gaming mechanical keyboard. The two game mechanical keyboards have a wealth of custom accessories, which can fully show the player's personality style, so that players can experience different DIY fun through the keyboard.

The secret of personalization in family design

First see HyperX pioneer game mechanical keyboard has a sense of deja vu, for the standard 104 layout of the keyboard, the appearance continues a part of the family of good design genes, but in fact, this HyperX pioneer game mechanical keyboard is hidden, higher playability. Another HyperX Pioneer 75 mechanical keyboard is a 75 column, which is shorter than the 104 column. The HyperX Pioneer gaming mechanical keyboard is 454.5x142.2x48.9mm, while the HyperX Pioneer 75 gaming mechanical keyboard is 330.8x142.2x48.9mm, the difference of 123.7mm is about 1.5-2 mouse width, for players with limited desktop space, The HyperX Pioneer 75 gaming mechanical keyboard can provide more room to maneuver the mouse.

The HyperX Pioneer series of gaming mechanical keyboards features innovative tool-free replacement magnetic tops, badges and plug-out knobs, giving players more fun with personalized assembly. The aluminum magnetic cover has two colors, white and blue, which can be matched with the vast majority of the host color, such as players with white sea view room chassis, more inclined to choose with the white cover, to achieve the overall harmonious unified desktop aesthetic style, the knob is the same.

The magnetic badge on the side of the mechanical keyboard of the HyperX Pioneer series games can also show the identity, occupation or honor of the player. HyperX currently offers three sets of badges, each with four to choose from, from which players can choose a badge that represents their own unique style, or DIY a badge with their own unique design and meaning to replace.

Gasket structures the soul of a customized keyboard

Gasket structure, also known as gasket structure, has long been an exclusive term in customization circles, and was once referred to as the "soul of customization" by many customization players. Unlike the pallet structure used in the mass production mechanical keyboard, the Gasket structure of the HyperX series gaming mechanical keyboard is a cushion between the positioning plate and the PCB board, and the positioning plate is fixed by the upper and lower pressure of the keyboard bottom and top housing, so the internal screw is not fixed. This design can reduce noise, improve the stability of the keyboard, provide the player with a consistent feeling of tapping, and ensure that the tapping sound is uniform. In the touch of percussion, compared with other mechanical keyboards more warm, soft, and pleasant.

For most of the tray structure, the PCB board is directly fixed on the shell through the screw, and the holes on the positioning board are more convenient to install the screw, although the cost of this standardized installation method is low, it will cause the player to feel different when tapping the bottom feedback, and then the sound feedback is also different, and it cannot meet the players who have higher standards and needs for the feel and key tone.

Supports hot-swappable HyperX 2 axles

At the 2019 Taipei Computer Show, HyperX's self-spindle body emerged, which not only quickly gained the support of fans and players, but also the recognition of many professional esports players. Although the HyperX spindle has won applause, HyperX is not complacent, but through long-term design and research and development, the advantages and disadvantages are eliminated. Finally, the HyperX 2 generation shaft body came into being and was used in the HyperX Pioneer series of gaming mechanical keyboards.

The HyperX 2 generation axle body adopts a 5-pin design and supports hot swap, which is convenient for players to freely replace according to demand, further realizing the personalized keyboard. For example, some FPS games, the four keys of WASD need a linear axis, because the linear axis can quickly respond to the player's operation, and even double click, three strikes can be quickly triggered.

For the gun switch key, it is highly recommended to use the paragraph axis, so that each time the switch operation, you can get a slight force feedback from the shaft body to help the player confirm the accuracy of the operation. The use of different styles of axes on one keyboard, which has been difficult to do in previous production keyboards, and now the HyperX Pioneer series of gaming mechanical keyboard makes this impossible into a possibility. Depending on the game, the player can customize the key style of the keyboard, which will obviously help the game's skills.

There are also further improvements in the specifications of the shaft body, for example, the HyperX 2 linear shaft body has a lower trigger pressure of only 40g, a trigger stroke of 1.8mm, and a total stroke of 4mm, which is faster than the normal keyboard feedback, and has more than 80 million keystroke life.

The HyperX 2 generation axle body uses POM half wall vertical axle body. POM is a thermoplastic crystalline polymer, known as "super steel", because of its strength, high stiffness, good elasticity, small friction factor, good wear resistance, players even after many years of use is still smooth. The half-wall vertical shaft body can improve the stability of the pre-installed HyperX PBT key cap, because the concave cross of the key cap is wrapped by the cross of the shaft body and the half-wall, and the more intuitive performance is that the key cap does not shake. In addition, the key cap has been filled with lubricating oil before leaving the factory, which is commonly known as "factory lubrication" in the player circle to fully ensure the smooth key. Although the PBT key cap is a frequent customer in the high-end mechanical keyboard, it is necessary to emphasize its characteristics again. Compared with the ABS material key cap, the matte texture of the PBT key cap is not easy to oil, and it can maintain a long time after the color is infected, and the durability is higher.

Therefore, the player taps the keyboard from top to bottom, PBT material key cap +POM half wall vertical shaft body + HyperX 2 generation shaft body +Gasket structure supporting hot swap, a set of combined punch finally provides the player warm soft feel, whether the game player, programmer or text worker, tapping the keyboard has become a kind of enjoyment.

Smart Light sense self-regulation better understand your backlit keys

Most smart phone screens have the function of light sense self-adjustment brightness, in the outdoor light environment, the mobile phone screen automatically adjust the higher brightness, easy for users to see the screen; In a dark environment, the brightness of the screen will be automatically reduced to avoid excessive light causing discomfort to the eyes. This intelligent ambient light sensor is also used in high-end lamps, display equipment and other products, and it is the first time that it is applied to the game mechanical keyboard.

The RGB dynamic light effect of the keyboard is not a rare thing, players can customize the intensity of the brightness, and even save multiple groups of files for call, but the actual application is relatively cumbersome. For example, when the sun is strongest at noon, the brightness of the keyboard should be adjusted to 100% to appear bright, and when the sun is about to set in the evening, the brightness of 60% is enough, when the sky becomes dark, the brightness may be 40% is enough, and at this time, the lighting system of the whole house is opened, the brightness of the keyboard needs to be adjusted to about 80%; In the dead of night, after turning off the ambient light, the brightness may only need 20%. In detail, according to the ambient light source at different times, the player may need to manually adjust the brightness of the keyboard 5 times, is it more cumbersome?

The intelligent light sensor of the HyperX Pioneer series game mechanical keyboard will identify the strength of the ambient light and adjust the lighting brightness of the keyboard backlight in real time, so as to achieve the player's comfortable appearance and let the player focus on the game without being distracted by other trivial things. What used to be a cumbersome setup now requires only one preference adjustment via HyperX NGENUITY driver software.

Customized keyboard, not only to meet the player's appearance level, but also the player's pursuit of excellence in every link, from key cap to shaft body, from color to function, from size to weight and so on. The Pioneer series is HyperX's latest high-end gaming mechanical keyboard product, which is superior in DIY level and input performance, and ranks first among mass-produced customized keyboards, providing players with more playability, control and a new level of sensory experience.

The Alloy Rise series of gaming mechanical keyboards is now on sale, priced at $1,499 for the Pioneer RGB and $1,299 for the Pioneer 75.
