Our Verdict

Corsair K70 RGB TKL

HyperX Alloy Rise

The Corsair K70 RGB TKL and the HyperX Alloy Rise are mechanical gaming keyboards that support a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. However, both keyboards are bottlenecked with lower update rates and are unable to fully take advantage of their 8000Hz polling. In the case of the Corsair, the bottleneck is much less impactful, and it performs significantly better than the HyperX, which has much lower and more consistent latency performance. The HyperX, on the other hand, suffers from a more severe bottleneck. On the bright side, it offers more hardware customizability with a hot-swappable PCB and a slightly more enjoyable typing experience with a softer-feeling gasket mount design.
