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 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.

Here is a full extensive review of the HyperX Alloy Origins Core Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review. Here is everything you need to know about the same.

Solid Build Quality ; Bright LEDs ; Dedicated Gaming Mode

No Programmable Keys

I started this review by asking a question "should one spend almost Rs. 10,000" on a keyboard and the answer is yes if they want the best in the business. One can buy a cheap mechanical keyboard with cherry blue keys for a quarter of the price of the...

HyperX Alloy Origins Review

The HyperX Alloy Origins isn't the most feature-rich gaming keyboard available, but for the price, it packs in an impressive amount of stuff.

While losing Cherry MX keys stings a bit, HyperX's in-house replacements are worthwhile. And the lowered price is a thing of beauty, since it's just about impossible to find another brand-new RGB mechanical keyboard for $110. The software needs some...
