Packaging

The box for the ALLOY Elite sticks with the dark look that HyperX has on their other products. If has a black background with what might be lava or smoke behind a large photo of the keyboard on the front. The model name is up in the top left corner with the HyperX branding down in the bottom right corner. There is a sticker letting us know that our sample has Red Cherry MX switches in the top right and in the bottom left they mention the lighting effects and they have the label showing that we have the US key layout. On the back of the box, they have four large pictures across the top with short descriptions of those four features in multiple languages all the way across the bottom half of the back.

The main box slides out of the color cover and then inside of it you have the keyboard up top in a transparent bag. There is cardboard around the sides and with lips over the top for protection. Along the back, the cardboard covers up the cord and everything else. You get a quick start guide and a congratulations card for joining the HyperX family. Then they include a set of replacement keycaps. There are four with a diamond print texture to them and then four with a silver finish. They also come with a cheap plastic keycap puller.
