Are you the kind who likes gimmicky features included only for the sake of marketing with no functional relevance? Or would you want something with only the basic features
But rock solid stability and a purposeful design? If you belong to the later team

Heavy aluminum base, Clicky, responsive keys, Tons of RGB lighting
RGB lighting isn't used to its full potential for the casual buyer
The HyperX Alloy Origins Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a fine piece of hardware. I absolutely love the aluminum base, and the key presses are fast and responsive. But I'm saddened the surplus of RGB doesn't translate to a lot within the nGenuity app nativ...
Full aluminum design, Comfortable to use, 3 different angle options, HyperX Aqua switches, Detachable USB-C cable
None that I found
I have been using the HyperX Alloy Origins for the past few weeks now and I have to say my experience has been quite good. The biggest thing about this keyboard is that it is comfortable, especially for longer gaming sessions. I always talk about being “i...
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
Offering up great performance, the HyperX switches also offer up lower travel and actuation over some of its competition. Whether you prefer linear or tactile mechanical switches, the HyperX Alloy Origins mechanical gaming keyboard has an option for you.*...

The only difference between this Aqua variant of the Alloy Origins and the keyboard we looked at back in October are the key switches, and while this new model provides a different feel is has the same light and strong aluminum construction, and bright RG...
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...

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...
