These key switches have exposed LEDs for stunning lighting with an actuation force and travel distance elegantly balanced for responsiveness and accuracy. Alloy Origins Core is built with a full aluminum body so it stays rigid and stable when keystrokes are flying, and also features keyboard feet that let you choose from three different tilt levels.

- Full aircraft-grade aluminum body: The aluminum casing keeps the keyboard structurally sound and stable when the action gets intense and the game hangs in the balance; battle after battle, night after night.
- Ultra-compact TKL design with detachable USB-C cable: The sleek tenkeyless form factor gives you more space for rapid mouse movements, especially in desktop setups that are too tight for a full-sized keyboard. It also has a detachable cable so it’s easy to take on the go.

- Advanced customization with HyperX NGENUITY Software: Customize Game Mode, take greater control over lighting effects, and set up your own macros.
- Three adjustable keyboard tilt angles: Adjust the two-step keyboard feet for three different angle settings (3°, 7°, or 11°), whichever makes your wrists the most comfortable.
- Onboard memory for three profiles: Create your own custom-designed lightshows, save them directly to the keyboard, and take them with you on the go.
- Game Mode, 100% anti-ghosting, and N-key rollover: Ensure that all your keypresses register and that you’re not accidentally taking yourself out of the game in key moments.

A: Yes it works with Mac. It is a windows-specific keyboard layout, but is recognized by macOS.
A: Hey Kaden, No, the Alloy Origins Core does not have hot-swappable switches. It comes with Red, Aqua, or Blue soldered on switches. Feel free to hit us up directly if you have any other questions or concerns.
A: No, just the board and the USB C cable comes in the box. No extra keys or puller. This also uses HyperX's own red linear switches. Coming from their Alloy FPS Pro that used Cherry Reds, I much prefer the HyperX switches. They feel great. I would recommend buying this and a set of the HyperX Pudding key caps for $25 extra. You end up with one really really nice TKL keyboard. Check for a review from Techne on youtube.. dude is dead on in his review on this. Its an amazing keyboard at this price point for us that prefer a TKL.
A: If you know how to desolder switches, you just need to open the board, desolder them, lube/film the switches, then solder them back on. Stabs can be lubed in the same way.
A: Yes this does work with ps4/ps5.
Q: Any chance there is a known date or time period when this keyboard will be available again??
A: Now
A: Yes, this item works for Xbox One.

My favorite gaming Keyboard;feels and looks great!
Setup- Really easy to setup you pretty much just plug it in then your good to go, to change the RGB colors or key bind you can easily do it with their program called HyperX NGENUITY. Performance- This is my first official gaming keyboard, the size is great and makes it a lot easier to game on. The way the keys feels is great, they don't make too much noise but at the same time sound really good. I changed the key-caps around with the HyperX White Pudding key caps. They make the RGB look a lot better and the white color matches my setup. Any Problem's- I haven't really had any issues with this keyboard at all. Everything is really easy to use and very responsive. Overall I really love this keyboard; at first I bought the HyperX Alloy FPS, but returned it when I noticed they had this one for pretty much the same price. This one uses aluminum body compared to the Alloy FPS which uses a different one. I would for sure buy this keyboard again and I suggest you get the HyperX pudding key-caps to go along with it. If you do get the key-caps make sure to get it from BestBuy or amazon; HyperX direct took a while to arrive. I was able to completely customize the RGB to my liking which I loved. Hope this helps someone :)

Great TKL keyboard.
Wanted more room on my desk, so this TKL design is perfect for that. This keyboard is super solid, the design of it makes it beyond easy to clean unwanted debris from between the key caps. I'd imagine it's just as easy to switch key caps and switches, but this is perfect for me as is. It's touchy and responsive but not mushy feeling. The detachable cord is a plus. I love the per key illumination as well. Excellent keyboard for gaming and every day use. The software for the RGB is pretty good and you can save 3 profiles directly on the keyboard. To be honest, j would've paid at least 120 usd for this keyboard. Got it for only 70 usd.
