  • Personally, this is my first hands-on experience with a HyperX keyboard for more than a few minutes. It's been a really good experience with both the physical hardware presentation and the user experience. They've done a great job of delivering a solid us...

  • Abstract:  There are a lot of keyboards out there, and while most are pretty generic and very similar, there's actually a lot more verity out there than people may realise. There are quite a few form factors for keyboards too, and the trend for smaller ones is uniro...

  • Affordable, Premium build, HyperX Red switches
  • No macros, Awkward at first, Noisy

  • The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is cheaper than many of its rivals, and its aluminium frame, PBT caps, and additional vibrant RGB spacebar gives the whole package a premium feel. However, the single option of linear red switches is restrictive, and some will...

  • Incredibly fast, Minimalist design benefits ergonomics and desk space, Premium, durable body

  • Those looking to dive into the 60% trend will be more than happy with the durability of the body and intense speed of the HyperX Alloy Origins 60, especially at this price tag. However, if you're after a clicky response, we'd recommend checking out a diff...
