HyperX’s tenkeyless Alloy FPS Pro appeals to the mechanical-keyboard minimalist

I recently wrote that you should turn down the dang DPI setting on your gaming mouse because you want the granular aiming that comes from having to move your mouse with your arm. The thing about that, however, is it means you probably want a huge mouse pad that you may have a difficult time fitting on your desk. But that’s where HyperX’s Alloy FPS Pro mechanical gaming keyboard comes in to help you annex some of your work area in the name of higher accuracy.

The Alloy FPS Pro is the latest revision of HyperX’s Alloy mechanical keyboard lineup that includes the Elite and the standard Alloy FPS. It is available now with your choice of Cherry MX switches for $80, and it is going tenkeyless — meaning it doesn’t have the number pad — for an even more compact design. It’s a solid keyboard that works well and leaves you plenty of room for even the largest mouse pads.
