I'm pleasantly surprised by HyperX in general. Recently had to replace an old Knucker keyboard that died. HyperX "Alloy Core" (full-size, not compact) was very cost-effective, has an excellent typing feel even without being fully mechanical (much better than the old Knucker), hefty enough to stay in place better than the old one, and works well without extra software (that's a selling point for me). Fully backlit, which helps at night. Odd, though, that the key markings are invisible if the backlight is off - does this keyboard do the same thing?

Full disclosure: I'm not much of a gamer; keyboard is used mainly for "productivity."
