HyperX Alloy Origins 60 - Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Ultra Compact 60% Form Factor, Double Shot PBT Keycaps, RGB LED Backlit, NGENUITY Software Compatible - Linear HyperX Red Switch,Black

This keyboard is awesome. The base is metal, nice and sturdy. The keycaps are plastic, but have a nice little texture on them. The cool extra spacebar it comes with looks incredible, and makes this keyboard as a whole a nice statement piece. This keyboard WILL look incredible on your desk, and will have people asking where you got it. It is a little on the pricey side, but the sturdy nature and quality appearance make up for it. Every key press is satisfying, and the noise the keys make is at just the right level. The lighting effects are stunning. This is the best keyboard I have ever used, exceeding previous keyboards in every way.

The media could not be loaded. I picked this up to use across two systems as I recently started using a docked laptop as my daily driver. The usb-c connection makes swapping between systems as simple as swapping a single cable, meanwhile I can tuck the other cable away when not in use. This is replacing the alloy elite and this is my experience so far ...Been using this board since late Feb 2021 and I love it. It has a much smaller footprint than the alloy elite while boasting pretty much all of the same features. At first the removal of the dedicated media keys, volume roller, and dedicated RGB keys was bothering me, but all of these functions are mapped to the function keys on this board. Not having those keys is actually the big thing I love about this board. It offers the same hyper x clicky switches that I love in a much more compact form factor.The build quality is great. The deck is all metal and super slim compared to the alloy elite as well as every other board I've used in the past. It's close to logitech's offerings as far as thinness goes, but without the extreme flex and terrible keycaps. The hyper x keycaps use standard mx stems so using pretty much any keycap set should fit these, though check the questions if you're looking for specific compatibility.I removed the pudding keycaps from my alloy elite and swapped them over to these which ... is a mixed bag. Overall I love the floating keycap design and the backlighting on this thing is both very bright and software accurate. I do miss the the legends printed on the FN keys that tell me which keys do what since I no longer have the dedicated media keys, but it took approximately a day to remember everything. Compared to the alloy elite this board seems much brighter overall. The lowest setting on these switches seems to be brighter than the highest setting on the elite, which could be a placebo effect but I don't know. I can't turn these up to max without it being painful to keep in my periphery. So RGB?? Fantastic on this board, especially with the pudding keycaps.I also really like the adjustable feet that offers you 3 different height adjustments. It's pretty standard these days but I still love to see it.Another thing I love is the numlock/caps lock display. It's positioned perfectly so that you can easily see at a glance which functions you have activated. This was not the case on the alloy elite. The display was placed too closely to the numpad meaning that unless you were sitting up very straight, are super tall, or leaned forward to look at it you could NOT tell what was on/off. This is a big improvement. It seems minor but it really bugged me on the elite.Not much else to say. Keycaps feel great, very stable and it has that satisfying bump I'm looking for in an mx-blue style switch. i love it.So everything about this keyboard is amazing, but it right now!! ... oh wait ... the softwareWell the software is pretty barebones, isn't very streamlined, and still appears to be in beta from the MS store? I'm not sure as I didn't install this on the computer I'm using right now. I used my old pc (desktop) to set this up since it already had the hyperx software (ngenuity i believe) installed, and it works well enough. While the colors of the keycaps are very accurate in terms of how close they are to what you see in the software you would not notice this with the stock keycaps. The black seems to shift the colors just a little bit so that they appear darker. With the pudding keycaps though they're amazing. Can't complain here. So yeah use the software once to customize your board, then uninstall it. There are plenty of effects to choose from whether you prefer static colors or moving effects ... it all looks great.And with that yeah I think we're done. This is a fantastic keyboard for anyone looking for a better overall typing experience. Do some research about switches, maybe order a sample pack of switches or something, to find the one that's right from you, then go nuts. Great product, will definitely be buying hyper x again if they can maintain this level of quality and value. Good stuff

Upon opening the packaging, my first thought was wow! I've never had a keyboard like this before. I've always had full size membrane keyboards and avoided mechanical key switches because I couldn't stand the clacking. I was therefore hesitant about this keyboard having mechanical switches but needed a small form factor keyboard. However, the HyperX switches are actually perfect. Not loud at all, just slightly more so than my membrane keyboard and the key presses are so much more satisfying.This is a solid little dude with full aircraft aluminum body. Some may find it heavy if the intention is to port it around with you. But for myself, without much knowledge of these type of keyboards, it is well worth it.

Purchased this keyboard in 2023 for around $60 and it’s finally dying on me. Thinking about getting the same one again. Some keys are not working anymore. The software for it isn’t the best and is only good for cosmetic only and button mapping. Had to look how to update or reset the software which wasn’t in the app for some reason. Overall a good keyboard, sounds nice, very responsive, and the quality is really good. Good value for a premium feeling keyboard.
