Changing the color of your HyperX Alloy Core RGB keyboard is a simple process that allows you to personalize your gaming setup and create the perfect ambiance. Whether you want a static color, a dynamic wave, or a reactive lighting effect, the HyperX NGENUITY software and onboard controls offer a range of customization options. Let’s dive into how you can transform your keyboard’s lighting.
Mastering HyperX Alloy Core RGB Color Customization
The HyperX Alloy Core RGB provides two primary methods for color customization: using the HyperX NGENUITY software and utilizing the onboard controls. Both options offer unique advantages and allow you to tailor your keyboard’s lighting to your preferences.
Using HyperX NGENUITY Software for Advanced Control
HyperX NGENUITY software unlocks the full potential of your Alloy Core RGB, offering a comprehensive suite of customization options. From creating intricate lighting profiles to syncing your keyboard with other HyperX peripherals, NGENUITY gives you granular control over every aspect of your RGB lighting.
- Download and Install: Begin by downloading and installing the HyperX NGENUITY software from the official HyperX website. Ensure your Alloy Core RGB is connected to your computer.
- Launch NGENUITY: Open the NGENUITY software. It should automatically detect your connected Alloy Core RGB keyboard.
- Select Lighting Effects: Navigate to the “Lighting” tab. Here, you’ll find a plethora of preset lighting effects, including breathing, wave, cycle, and trigger.
- Customize Colors: Select the desired lighting effect and customize the colors to your liking. You can choose from a vast spectrum of colors using the color picker.
- Create Custom Profiles: NGENUITY allows you to create and save custom lighting profiles. This is perfect for switching between different color schemes for different games or applications.
- Sync with Other Devices: If you have other HyperX peripherals, you can sync their lighting with your Alloy Core RGB for a unified and immersive lighting experience.
Utilizing Onboard Controls for Quick Adjustments
For quick color adjustments on the fly, the HyperX Alloy Core RGB offers convenient onboard controls. These controls allow you to cycle through preset lighting effects and adjust brightness without needing to open the NGENUITY software.
- Cycle Through Effects: Press the designated key combination (usually involving the “Fn” key) to cycle through the available lighting effects.
- Adjust Brightness: Use the designated key combination to increase or decrease the brightness of the RGB lighting.
- Customize Onboard Profiles: While limited compared to NGENUITY, you can customize a few onboard profiles directly on the keyboard, offering quick access to your favorite lighting setups.

- Software Not Detecting Keyboard: Ensure the keyboard is properly connected and that you have the latest version of NGENUITY installed.
