Alienware Keyboard and Mouse [Elite Level Gaming]

1. Dell Alienware Pro Gaming Mechanical Keyboard AW768

By this level, everyone knows Alienware. Over the years, the Dell-owned business has made a name for itself to make costly, but beautiful, gamind7faf4g PCs such as the Alienware Aurora R9 and R10. Gaming PCs, of course, aren’t enough – so Alienware jumped into the peripheral market with items like the Alienware Pro Gaming Keyboard AW768.

Much as you’d expect from Alienware’s keyboard, it has an angular, futuristic look, and is packed with RGB lighting to the brim. However, what’s more, impressive here is what’s under the hood: Cherry MX Brown switches, a polling rate of 1 millisecond (ms), and a dedicated macro ring.

Alienware’s Pro Gaming Keyboard offers an un-compromised gaming experience. The mechanical keyboard features AlienFX with 13 RGB lighting zones, 15 programmable macro essential functions, and onboard memory, fusing highly adjustable controls and sophisticated applications with iconic style.

Features

• 16.8 M RGB color options for ambient lighting.
• 3 Adjustable angles of the legs (palm rest optional).
• Fifty million Primary Durable Period Life. Cable size: 6 feet.
• The dimension of 19.6 x 6.8 x 1.4 Inches, 3.26 lbs of weight.

Design

As we opened the box of Alienware Pro Gaming Keyboard for the first time, we could have sworn it was covered in a sleek, aluminum shell-it was certainly heavy enough. The entire thing, however, is made from plastic. But don’t go and assume that means it’s flimsy – there’s no giving to this keyboard, and it’s incredibly robust. In touch, it just doesn’t feel as good as it seems.

And the entire thing is made of plastic. Yet don’t go and say that means it’s flimsy – this keyboard has no give, and it’s amazingly sturdy. It just doesn’t feel as good in the touch as it seems.

Performance

Luckily, the Alienware AW768 is a very competent keyboard and is sure to please anyone looking for a comfortable gaming experience. 

Since it uses Cherry MX Brown switches, the keyboard is perfect for pretty much everything you try to do. In equal measure, gaming and productivity work sounds fantastic, and the noise is under control enough to do it at night without keeping the entire community awake.

Essentially, the best keyboard switches come down to personal preference, so Cherry MX Brown switches are perfect for beginners who don’t yet know what they’re looking for – just like the gaming PCs from Alienware.

It’s nice on paper too – the keyboard is sensitive and tactile with 45 g of actuating power, 2 mm actuating distance, and a 4 mm ride, even if it may edge on the shallow side for certain users.

Tricked out and all in

Anti-ghosting and N-key rollover on every key, and mechanical switches with fifty million keyboard life cycle, onboard memory facility and 15 programmable macro essential functions with on-the-fly recording ensure your keyboard lives longer while increasing your kill speed with increased keystroke speeds and accuracy.

Bring a competitive edge to every game
