WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

HyperX Alloy Core RGB

What it brings

  • HyperX says it is tested to resist spills of up to 120 ml, and it adds dedicated media controls plus quick-access lighting and Game Mode buttons.
  • Membrane keys that HyperX describes as quiet, with multi-key anti-ghosting and a 1000 Hz report rate.

What to check

  • Membrane rather than mechanical switches, and lighting is limited to five zones plus the light bar rather than per-key RGB.
  • The braided cable is attached rather than detachable, and only Windows versions are listed as supported operating systems.

Logitech MX Keys S

What it brings

  • Connects by the supplied Logi Bolt receiver or Bluetooth Low Energy and switches between up to three paired devices. Logi Options+ customisation is available on Windows and macOS; on Linux, ChromeOS, iPadOS and Android Logitech lists basic functions without software.
  • Backlighting switches on as your hands approach and adapts to room light; with backlighting off Logitech claims up to five months per charge from its 1500 mAh battery, recharged over USB-C.

What to check

  • At 430.2 mm across and 810 g it is a full-size board; Logitech points buyers who want to save desk space to the minimalist MX Keys Mini instead. Its keys are low-profile scissor keys with 1.8 mm of total travel rather than mechanical switches.
  • The receiver is Logi Bolt only; older Unifying receivers do not work with it, and Logi Options+ customisation is limited to Windows and macOS.
