Hands down, this keyboard is awesome. Being able to get it with the different switches ensures it'll be a great choice no matter which type of gamer you are. I'm coming from only having Razer keyboards up until I decided to try out their Ornata with the Mecha-membrane, which I got sick of. Switching over to HyperX was a decision I won't be going back from. Having the solid steel frame is awesome and helps in making the keyboard feel at the top of the premium keyboards, and finally having the RGB lighting effects adds on to the standard for gaming keyboards nowadays. Pros: Decent pricing (similar to the rest) Steel frame for a good solid premium feel RGB Lighting Dedicated RGB and Media keys/Volume slider Cool Light-bar underneath dedicated keys Cons: ~Some sort of rubber key-caps - Trading my Alloy FPS for the Elite felt a little weird and not as "hard" (Honestly a preference thing) RGB Software doesn't allow for layering effects like the other competitors (for now) The included wrist rest is not a cushion as I became used to with other keyboards, but a solid textured/rubber rest (Still comfortable but I don't feel a need to use that one)
