Alienware released its selection of Pro Wireless peripherals last year, and having spent the first couple of months of 2025 with the mouse and headset it’s time to turn to the mechanical keyboard. In a time when most gaming brands are adding Hall effect switches to their decks, Dell is keeping things old school. This is a return to the full mechanical clack we all know and love, and while that nostalgia is certainly welcome it’s not quite doing enough to justify its $199.99 MSRP compared to its peers.
Competition in this price range is brutal. The three decks most closely aligned to the Alienware Pro Wireless’s price point just so happen to be some of the best gaming keyboards money can buy right now. Alienware wants its tri-mode connectivity, bold RGB lighting, and thoccy mechanical switches to speak for themselves, but where others are upping the game from a customization standpoint, the brand struggles to be heard against the rest of the market.
