Our Verdict

HyperX Alloy FPS Pro

HyperX Alloy FPS RGB

The HyperX Alloy FPS RGB is a better overall keyboard than the HyperX Alloy FPS Pro. The FPS RGB is a fairly large full-sized keyboard that comes with full RGB backlighting, macro-programmable keys, and outstanding software support for easy customization. On the contrary, the FPS Pro is a small, TenKeyLess keyboard designed for those who need the bare minimum. It only has red backlighting and doesn’t have any software support, meaning you can’t reprogram keys.
