Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love it. The weight of the alloy is perfect. The sounds are satisfying, and I was able to swap out some keycaps that came with the keyboard for some pleasing aesthetics. I got it on sale as well which didn’t hurt! I have smaller hands so the size is perfect. And I know this is the purpose of the keyboard but I do miss having a number pad sometimes. But if that is my only complaint, overall a great purchase!

I like everything about this keyboard. The software, the RGB lighting, and the feel of the keys. I especially like the compact size. While it would look great with any gaming set up, I particularly like the way it complements my HP omen gaming rig. The keyboard feels heavy, and the build quality is premium.

They keys are very smooth for gaming and not overly loud at all the rgb lighting is nice bright and clear when you have it on.

beautiful and RGB light customizable keyboard. it has a lot of weight so it feels good even though it’s a cheaper keyboard, and there are prongs underneath with 2 different angles so you can tilt the keyboard to your comfort

Great for gaming! Nice and tiny for aesthetics. You can customize the lighting too for multiple ways. THE PUDDING CAPS YOU CAN GET ITS A MUST. i got the black and white one. The white ones are more vibrant.

Keyboard is minimalist but gets the job done. Keys are great and lights are a plus. Its a bit tricky getting the colors to work properly

This thing is heavy duty, I wasn’t expecting my gaming keyboard to feel like a rock and play like a dream. I’m loving the simple rgb too it’s nice for just playing on an Xbox.

Keyboard is very well made. The material is high quality metal. The linear mec hanical keys feel great when typing or playing. Super responsive to input. RGB looks fantastic.

I had one of the larger HyperX keyboards for a couple years now, and while that one worked perfectly, I needed something more compact for my limited desk space. Check out the size comparison in my sfw photo. This one suits my needs perfectly. I even like that the keys make reduced noise compared to my previous keyboard. This one has a more muffled sound when I type compared to the clickety clickety sound from my previous keyboard.

I have been using controller my whole life. Never thought about going kbm, until i got this keyboard and made the switch! This keyboard for the price is everything i never knew i needed! The clicks ! The colors ! The size ! The variation in color displays! I would like to thank the incredibly helpful staff @ best buy in my home town for recommending me this keyboard! Before, I was using an old keyboard and just thought i was bad (i was) but when i bought this HyperX mini keyboard, i delved into a new realm of extreme accuracy and sensitivity! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to make the switch, or who are just in the market for a new keyboard. I hope this helped anyone! P.s. i have a couple keys removed for personal preference They also give a cool "space"bar and esc key.

An actual excellent product, was scared about using it first since my fingers were only used to laptop keys, but I was surprised at how easy it was to get used to these types of keyboards, I really like the metal part of the keyboard and the fact that it’s kind of heavy really gives you that feeling of satisfaction knowing you’re getting your moneys worth. Also came with two cool replacement keys and a key removal kit. Would definitely recommend.

Love the compact size and easy-going typing. Gaming is also easier with the smaller size

I've tried a couple mechanical keyboards throughout the years (Most purchased at Best Buy) and this is easily the best I've used yet. I bought the version with red switches. Its an amazing value and legitimately doesn't have any cons for me (if you want a different layout there's different sizes as well like the 60, Core, and Elite 2. In my photos i have also additionally customized it with a few HyperX pudding keycaps i had. All pros: Amazing value at $99 (or on sale) Heavy and sturdy feeling given it's size Great stock double shot PBT keycaps Some of the smoothest feeling red switches Easily accessible FN rows Nice bonus keycaps Removable USB-C cable which is also nicely positioned and out the way RGB shines nice Good levels of angle adjustment on the feet Seriously get this. You will be so happy with it.

HyperX hit the mark with the Alloy Origins 65% Compact Gaming Keyboard in Black! The red linear switches make every gaming session feel buttery smooth and ultra-responsive. The compact design is a total win, giving me more desk space without compromising on performance. And let's talk about that RGB lighting—seriously, it's like my keyboard is throwing a party. It's not just a keyboard; it's a game-changer for my setup. Trust me, this one's a keeper for any gamer who wants both style and substance!

This keyboard successfully converted me from a lover of clicky key switches to a full blown linear switch lover, and at the price the build quality is amazing, and the included red esc key and spacebar are a nice touch, and I did put them on mine, absolute 10/10

Perfect gaming keyboard without sacrife. Still hahe dedicated number keys and arrow keys. The black with the red escape and spacebar are a nice touch. Hyper X for the win again!

Sounds great and feels amazing. Not too big not too small, very good for gaming!!!

Execlent build for a really good price. It's all metal, the switches feel lubed or something but it's got a solid sound right out of the box. The switches are wildly responsive, very light to where i sometimes miss click keys. Don't get this if you tend to miss hit keys! Otherwise 65% is the perfect size and I couldn't be happier with this keyboard!

Very great quality build for a keyboard of its price not breaking the bank. Has swappable keys that come with and the smoothness is great. Overall great keyboard no complaints

While trying to decide on the right keyboard and trying several, this was the one. Comfortable, great looking, and most importantly hasn’t missed a single key stroke. Comes with extra space and esc keys with a red design that looks great, also changed to the pudding caps. I’m actually thinking that the keyboard looked better before the pudding caps. But overall, very happy.
