Key strengths

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

The checks that matter.

Before you buy

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.

Lighting, software & features

10 items
Backlighting
Five-zone RGB

Effect presets: Color Cycle, Spectrum Wave, Breathing, Solid, 5 Zones and Aurora. Original published inventory: RGB light bar and five-zone multi-colour key lighting; 6 LED modes and 3 brightness levels. Five key-lighting zones are a positive shared inventory with G213. The separate light bar, six named LED effects and three brightness levels are preserved as their own positives; no unlisted G213 effect or brightness count is inferred.

2 sources
Media controls
Dedicated media controls

Original published inventory: Dedicated media controls; quick-access buttons for lighting and Game Mode. This common field records dedicated media-control availability only. Exact visible button labels, roller/buttons, lighting/Game Mode/profile controls and application dependence retain their own conditions; an omitted playback function or roller material is not a peer absence.

Source
Game mode
Game Mode with a quick-access buttonSource
Keyboard lock
Keyboard lock mode that locks the keyboard without locking the computerSource
Dedicated playback/track controls
Yes

The exact source/original establishes dedicated playback and track controls. G710+, G213 and Alloy Core originals additionally show a stop-labelled key; this does not establish an unlisted peer absence. Dedicated media controls; quick-access buttons for lighting and Game Mode

Source
Volume control mechanism
Buttons

Exact own-model volume control uses buttons. This preserves a real hardware distinction without inferring feel, reach, material or measured performance.

Source
Stop-labelled media key
Yes

The actually opened exact original visibly labels a dedicated stop media key. This records its positive hardware label; it does not infer that a peer lacks a stop function elsewhere.

Source
RGB light bar
Yes

Exact UK source explicitly names the signature RGB light bar. The current original was opened and shows the separate horizontal bar; no peer lightbar absence is inferred.

Source
Claimed LED effect modes
6 modes

Named presets: Color Cycle, Spectrum Wave, Breathing, Solid, 5 Zones and Aurora. This is the manufacturer mode inventory, not a measured colour-quality advantage or a peer-negative claim.

Source
Claimed lighting brightness levels
3 levels

Exact UK technical Light Effects row states three brightness levels. No matched luminance measurement or G213 level count is established.
