Description
Features
HyperX mechanical switches
The key switches are custom-designed to be a balance of responsiveness and accuracy, featuring a short travel time and low actuation force. They’re also reliable, rated for 80 million keypresses with no loss of quality.
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.
RGB backlit keys with radiant lighting effects
HyperX mechanical switches feature an exposed LED for brighter, more luminous RGB lighting.
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.

Good entry into gaming mechanical keyboards
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace my old gaming mechanical keyboard. I bought this brand specifically because of both the price and the fact it's a brand that I can trust. HyperX is known for having good value and quality, which this keyboard is a great example of. I picked the aqua switches mainly because it's on sale and readily available, but it's a good switch for both typing and gaming. If you prefer linear switches, go with the red HyperX switches but the aqua switches are still a solid option for those preferring tactile. I used linear switches before and tactile may take some time getting used to yet it in the end, it's a satisfying experience. Sure it comes with ABS keycaps and the stabilizers aren't good, but with a few mods that involve tape, lube, and switching to PBT keycaps. I recommend spending a little on the version with PBT keycaps in stock but if you already got some beforehand, then go with the ABS versions to save a little. Overall, I love this keyboard despite its minor flaws.

Awesome Keyboard for gaming !!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just replaced my older Corsair 65 gaming keyboard I had for so many years and wanted to upgrade with this new HyperX gaming keyboard. So far I love it the keys are very nice when pressed and during gaming sessions. The software you can download from HyperX web page lets you customize down to the color selection or theme you want to setup. The entire keyboard is very solid and sturdy. Definitely the best gaming keyboard I have owned now and a fan of HyperX brand.

Exceeded expectations.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical at first, but the keys are a dream to type on! I love how subtly tactile it is and that I can adjust the brightness of the rgb very easily. This keyboard doesn't slide around, feels very sturdy, and is built to last. 10/10 would type on this again.

My experience with the keyboard so far
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A Comfortable and Stylish Mechanical Keyboard I recently bought the HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard apart from my razer keyboard i alredy had, and I must say it has been a fantastic addition to my setup. This keyboard combines comfort, responsiveness, and aesthetic appeal which is unique and different from the one i alredy had i had an exceptional gaming experience with it. the key feature i like about it are the mechanical switches, each key press feels satisfyingly tactile and clicky. Overall Rating: 4.5/5

An option for those who are not demanding
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Practical and ergonomic. I liked it, it has a medium touch, I like the system of the App for the keyboard but it has a high consumption of resources to operate (CPU more than everything) can be improved with some update. Excellent aluminum brand is heavy and I like that.

Q: Questionis the switches hot swap?
Asked by Kaden.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionDoes the keyboard come with other/ extra key caps and a hey cap puller. Also what type switches does it have? Cherry mx?
Asked by kaid.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionIs it possible to lube this keyboard? I've tested the keys with stabilizers and wanted to know if it can be lubed or not. If no, that's completely fine, just wanted to ask which may be important for others as well.
Asked by Angel.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionIs it 100% or 60%
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer This is not 100% or 60%. Closer to 87%. The only part missing is the 10key pad. 60% keyboards will drop off the arrow and discrete FN keys, etc. This TKL model is fairly compact, but a 60% will be smaller.
