HyperX Alloy Origins Review

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: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The HyperX Alloy Rise is an impressive gaming keyboard. Although, it only has decent build quality, with considerable deck flex, an easily frayed cable, and several stripped screws on the unit we bought and tested. On the bright side, it has impressive...

Impressive overall latency performance, suitable for casual or competitive gaming, per-key addressable rgb lighting and legible shine-through legends

Several minor build quality issues, doesn't benefit from its 8000hz polling rate; bottlenecked by low effective update rate

HyperX Alloy Origins review: Linear or tactile switches to suit your preferences

Our HyperX Alloy Origins review takes a look at one mechanical gaming keyboard available with two different switch types: linear and tactile.

Solid build quality ; Great performance for gaming ; Three height levels ; Customizable RGB lighting ; Linear or tactile switch options ; Store three profiles on board ; Detachable cable ; Smaller footprint than other full sized keyboards ; Replaceable...

USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable would be nice ; Occasionally tripping over keys while regular typing ; No dedicated macro buttons ; Costs $25 extra for more luminescent keycaps

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.

Mediocre RGB customization ; No volume control

Summary HyperX Alloy Origins series mechanical keyboards are designed to be ultra-compact and sturdy products that give gamers a blend of style, performance, and reliability. I think the one that stands out the most is its full aircraft-grade aluminum...
