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.
Manufacturer source
Membrane keys that HyperX describes as quiet, with multi-key anti-ghosting and a 1000 Hz report rate.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

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

Logitech MX Mechanical

What it brings

Pairs with up to three devices over the supplied Logi Bolt receiver or Bluetooth Low Energy. Logi Options+ customisation is supported on Windows and macOS; on iOS, iPadOS, Android, Linux and ChromeOS Logitech lists basic functions without software.
Manufacturer source
The Tactile Quiet switch gives a small bump with little sound, which Logitech positions as the closest of its three options to MX Keys typing; Logitech rates the keys for 50 million presses.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Logitech claims up to 15 days per charge with backlighting or up to 10 months with it off from a 1500 mAh battery charged over USB-C.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

At 433.85 mm across and 828 g this is the full-size model with an integrated numpad; Logitech offers the space-saving minimalist MX Mechanical Mini for buyers who want a smaller board.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The switch type is fixed per SKU and Logitech does not state hot-swap support, so choosing Tactile Quiet, Clicky or Linear is a purchase-time decision.
