Our Verdict
HyperX Alloy FPS Pro
Ducky One 2
The Ducky One 2 performs better overall than the HyperX Alloy FPS Pro. The Ducky is available in different variants, including one with full RGB backlighting, and you can get it with a wider variety of switches. All keys are macro-programmable on the Ducky, and it offers better typing quality. However, the HyperX is fully compatible with Linux, and since it's a TKL keyboard, it's easier to carry around.
