Refreshingly old-school yet with all the mod cons.
A hybrid of old-school sci-fi charm and modern features, the Alienware Pro Wireless is an excellent keyboard. It's expensive, but those distinctive 'tocking' keys in combination with a superb overall build quality and stunning lighting makes for a tempting proposition.Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.
I see so many RGB-lit keyboards these days, it's not often I stand back and admire the show. This combination of old-school looks and pin-sharp lighting, however, really does create an impressive visual effect. My Lunar Light—or more simply, white—model softens the underglow very nicely. Here's the real kicker though: the sound. The Pro Wireless creates a very pleasing tocking sound while typing, and it immediately gives me a wave of nostalgia every time I reach for the keys.
In terms of typing feel, the linear red switches are exactly as you'd expect. Smooth, easy to press and a good amount of travel. These are factory lubed, and slide under your fingertips with a good combination of accuracy and slight resistance that leads to a positive overall feel. You also get sound dampening that, as our Jacob puts it, really works. While the Alienware Pro also has sound dampening layers, that distinctive tock is a love it or hate it kind of affair. While I'm a fan, I have noticed that when someone else is using the Wireless Pro, I can hear it in every room of my house.While my walls are thin, that sound does have a tendency to carry, and some are going to find that it sets their teeth on edge—rather than providing the appropriate nostalgia hit.
Overall though, the Alienware Pro Wireless is an excellent keyboard, with a pleasant action, nostalgic sound, and sci-fi style good looks. Price-wise, though, It's just a little too expensive for what you get compared to the competition, despite its brilliance.
