HyperXAlloy Origins – Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Software–Controlled Light & Macro Customization – Compact Form Factor – Linear Switch – HyperX Red – RGB LED Backlit US QWERTY

After 6 months of everyday office and entertainment use - this is a very robust and durable keyboard, and definitely can compete with even more expensive peers. Thr responsiveness is perfect for fast typing and gaming. The feel is solid thanks to the aluminum body. Lights are customizable in a lot of different animations. The only thing that could be improved is the software/app. Great product.

Good quality of workmanship and visual. It completely met my expectations. A product worth recommending - money well spent.

I found this to be a decent, relatively affordable gaming/mechanical keyboard. I didn't really care about the RGB effects - most of my useage is actually office work (I like the feel of the mechanical keyboard for typing) so RGB is a distraction mostly, plus the software is a bit weird (presets that you save to the keyboard can't be used till you completely exit the Ngenuity software, which is unintuitive). However, it's nice to be able to see the keys in low light, and also highlight certain keys when gaming, so I actually think it's a better feature than I was expecting.However, my main bugbear is that the keycaps are not great quality. After about 3 years of use they started to break. The cross-shaped (4U or 6U, not sure which it is) mounts started breaking like in the picture and then the keycap is useless, it will just fall off. You would think it was a problem with keys that got mashed a lot whilst playing games (I mostly play CS2, the kids play Minecraft and Geometry Dash, so I guess there is SOME punishment going on). But it wasn't especially - I think the left Ctrl key broke and the F key, and I think a couple of number keys as well, which suggests maybe they are of inconsistent quality.Replacement keycaps from HyperX are quite expensive - you have to buy a whole set, so I bought an aftermarket set for much less money and replaced them all. They aren't the same as the originals but work fine - you should know that any cross-type keycaps can be used with this keyboard so that's a big plus in itself, if they do break or get very dirty or worn, you can replace them, just prise them off and pop the new ones on.I have only docked one star because I still feel this keyboard is decent quality for the money, is responsive and does its job well but you need to be aware that the keycaps perhaps aren't as durable as you might want and will need to be replaced at some point, especially if they come in for a lot of punishment.

Glad I bought this. Aqua switches are amazing :) they’re like brown cherry mx but feels better. Great price and value compared to others that I find inferior although they were more expensive. Amazing build quality. Feels like it’s built to last.

If you're looking for a good mechanical keyboard for gaming, I would highly recommend this one. Not only does it sound nice with its HyperX Linear red switches but the RGB looks fantastic with its bright colours. Although people say that linear switches aren't that efficient for typing, I personally enjoy typing with it as well.

I've owned this keyboard for 3 years. I bought it in April 2022, it works perfectly as the day I got it - it's received very heavy use - pretty much 8 hours a day full time work for over 3 years - not a single key looks worn - My daughter spilt a cup of water on it - it went into some kind of protection mode and I left it in the sun for 2 hours and again worked perfectly. It's old fashioned craftsmanship, care and quality - I hope it will last for another 20 years and I don't see why it won't - at some point I'm sure I'll change the keys etc.. A fantastic product.

Excellent keyboard I had a lot of keyboards but this one is really great !!!!!!!

I don't like this keyboard much to be honest.I find the keys overly sensitive, it reacts if you so much as glide on it. Given how massively raised they are, this makes gaming actually a lot harder. For many things I use my old cheap logitech that works a lot better and costed a fraction.The software is ok but not great. For the keyboard alone it's alright, but other functions are bugged e.g. mouse control.Last but not least, the first keyboard that was sent to me had a defective button, you could quite clearly see it wasn't assembled correctly and it did not work at all. On this price point it's hard to justify these things.I will definitely replace this keyboard with a different brand in the near future.I do not recommend neither the brand nor the product itself.
