HyperX Alloy Origins 60 Gaming Keyboard Review

Proprietary HyperX switches offer balanced typing feel ; Cool, alternate space bar cap ; Slightly more affordable than other 60 percent gaming keyboards ; PBT keycaps

Only three onboard profiles ; Non-PBT alternate keycaps

The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 mechanical keyboard works just as well as its larger sibling thanks to a well-designed body, balanced proprietary switches, and useful configuration software.

HyperX Alloy Origins

If premium features aren't what you're after, HyperX's Alloy Origins may be the nicest no-nonsense midrange mechanical keyboard around.

Solidly made chassis. Well-priced. Proprietary switches offer unique feel. Detachable USB-C cable.

No creature comforts, such as dedicated macro keys or USB pass-through ports.

Bottom Line: If premium features aren't what you're after, HyperX's Alloy Origins may be the nicest no-nonsense midrange mechanical keyboard around.

HyperX Alloy Origins 60 review: Size matters

HyperX's petite Alloy Origins 60 shines in all of its RGB glory

Petite, unique design ; Comfortable key switches ; Dazzling RGB lighting ; Adjustable angles

Limited onboard profile storage ; 60% form factor not for everyone ; Windows-only compatibility

The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is a beautifully designed 60% mechanical gaming keyboard that demands a second glance.

HyperX Alloy Rise Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review: Magnetic Customization… at a Price

Hot-swappable switches, magnetic cases, and a great typing experience help, but don't completely offset the $200 price tag.

Excellent typing and gaming experience ; 8kHz polling for exceptional responsiveness ; Exceptional customization options ; Easy programmability

Expensive ; Not wireless ; NGENUITY software is lackluster

The HyperX Alloy Rise is customizable, well-built, and wired. It’s expensive but with its 8kHz polling rate, fast switches, and easy programmability, it offers solid performance for the money.
