The editors didn't like
Heavy
Underwhelming lighting configuration software
No dedicated media controls or macro keys
Shorter 1.8mm switch actuation (versus 2mm) feels like a gimmick
HyperX's new Aqua switches are surprisingly pleasant, Relatively inexpensive, Upgraded to a USB-C connection
More expensive than comparable Alloy models, Still no media keys or pack-in wrist rest, PBT upgrade is labor intensive
Anyway, we won't factor the PBT keycaps and wrist rest into our score for the Alloy Origins. Suffice it to say, if you're going to buy one of HyperX's keyboards—or even a competitor's board—the PBT keycaps are a solid upgrade. Like I said, it's hard to fi...

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

Excellent typing feel and response, Slim profile for a full sized keyboard, Super sturdy aluminum frame, RGB LED's are super bright
Lack of media keys, Squeaky spacebar
I really enjoyed using the HyperX Alloy Origins mechanical keyboard for daily usage at home. I type a lot, game a little, and love RGB all day, everyday. It has everything I appreciate in a good keyboard including the lighting effects, key presses, feedba...

Abstract: HyperX has taken upon itself to create its own keyboard switches that are built for performance and longevity with an 80 million click rating and a shorter actuation point. To complement the switches, the HyperX Alloy Origins Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is...
Cheaper than competitors, Pretty RGB lighting, Decent HyperX switches
Clunky software, No media bar, Limited customization
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 work...

there's very little to dislike about the Alloy Origins. This is a no-frills, performance-focused keyboard for those who just want to plug something into their desktop and game. If you don't mind the lack of creature comforts, you'll be thrilled with the A...

With its light but exceptionally strong aluminum construction, crisp key presses from the HyperX switches, and bright RGB lighting, the Alloy Origins is a top-notch mechanical gaming keyboard. The dual-position height adjustment feet are a nice touch, and...
