For the price of this keyboard I am extremely pleased. I ordered it and it came in very early which caught me completely off guard, when I took the keyboard out of the box the first thing I noticed was the weight. Unlike most keyboards I could notice it was fairly hefty for it’s size. The body feels sturdy (it has a aluminum base so of course), it feels very very nice to use, very responsive and to be completely honest I forgot about the RGB which was very bright and nice. I have no regret purchasing this, if you want a good keyboard for a good price I’d suggest this one for sure. I use a computer a lot as I play games and do a lot of work involving a computer and this keyboard hasn’t given me issues to date, also if you’re one of those people who like the sound of the clicks then this one is also another satisfying purchase, nice sounding clicks to the buttons. Great product!

garbage product. Keys stop working. don’t buy. brightness keys stop working (sometime it does as you can see). same with the arrow keys, page down keys and other more keys. Don’t buy waste of money. buy corsair, Logitech, razer or some stuff

Já sabia da qualidade desse produto mas ele conseguiu exceder minhas expectativas. O ruído é quase imperceptível, switches macios de clicar e também são muito confortáveis para jogos. O tempo de resposta é muito bom e o acabamento das key caps são muito bons e bonitos, tirando o fato de que vem junto as key caps personalizadas e um removedor também. Eu usava um teclado 100% e demorei umas semanas até me acostumar, mas foi bem tranquilo e o fato dele ser menor deixa o setup mais bonito.

HyperX alloy Origin core is really good for those who love rgb lights and the pbt keys feel. Although the keyboard is on the expensive side. The keys sound great not too loud and not too quiet, tactile feel is great too. I did find the backspace key to sound pretty weird, and it seems that this problem persists in lots of the keyboard of this model, but it can be overlooked. The connection wire is of cheaper quality, but it can last for a year or so. All in all, a great product compared to those cosmic byte and logitech gimmick keyboards.

After trying several competing products, this is likely the one I am keeping.
Thoughts: 1. The LEDs are really bright. The only other company on par with this are the logitechs. The LEDs just look phenomenal and are true to color, unlike many competitors. 2. The alloy frame is solid and just screams quality. The only thing I don’t like is that the keyboard is really thin overall. I prefer to use a wrist rest and I think it will be difficult to find one thin enough to truly match this keyboard’s height. 3. The switches are really nice. I got the red linear and they are buttery smooth. They don’t really thock but are relatively quiet. NZXT might be quieter but are higher pitched. steelseries was lower ptiched but very thocky, if you like that. 4. The pbt keycaps feel great but the legends on the the symbol keys look a little gamery and not really crisp (eg. ;: looks pretty trash). 5. The stabilizers are really the big problem. There is more lateral play than I would really like (my right shift is pretty wobbly) and they are really rattly. Such a stupid oversight for what is otherwise a really well thought out product, particularly since they chose to make it not hotswappable. 6. It’s not hotswappable… I don’t really want to swap the keys out, but it would be nice to have the freedom to do a little light modding like replacing the stabilizers with something that isn’t trash.
All in all, after trying several competitors-NZXT, steelseries, logitech, royalkludge-this is likely what I will keep. The tecware phantom+ is on backorder, so I haven’t been able to do a comparison of that yet.
Update: I followed a youtube tutorial on how to basically do a variant on the bandaid mod for this keyboard that significantly helped the stabilizer issue. While the stabilizers could use some lube, the main problem is that they are just way too loose on the top plate. I partially pulled up the stabilitzers by unclipping them from the top plate. Then, I cut some really thin strips of electrical tape and used some tweezers to feed them through the part where the clip is and then clamped the stabilizer down on top of the very end of the tape. This made the stabilizers more snug with the top plate and I think the rest of the tape is sort of under the stablizer and the padding it from the PCB. This has made it so the longer keys have a lot less play in them and they are also quieter. I am still trying to decide if I will use a syringe to inject some krytox on the stabilizer bar and maybe the housing. For now, this was a good enough fix and I recommend others give it a try.

Well I only used this mechanical keyboard so checks out. The build is 10/10 and Nguenity Software can actually customize every single key and keybindings. I am using this keyboard for past 3 months and i dont have any complains. There are still minor issues like: – very sensitive keys so pressed accidentally. – included usb c was bad and stopped working(i had good quality spare c cable) Pros: – best key sounds(smooth and clicky) – solid build quality – everything is customisable
I brought it for the cheapest price back in the day for 5900Rs(6199, plus bank discount) and It arrived after 1.5 months. But if you getting it under 10k, It is worth it.

This keyboard is so compact, the build quality is rock hard. You can feel the weight can the firmness of this board.
Earlier I was using cosmic byte gk-16 with blue switches. Switched to HyperX alloy origins 65 with aqua switches. And the difference is night and day. The switches feel amazingly smooth.
Price is a little hefty but once you see the product in flesh, you’d feel satisfied.

Mesmo que você queira usá-lo com configuração de teclado abnt2, a experiência será a seguinte: Ç ~ , . ; ‘ [ todos nos lugares normal pra quem já está acostumado a digitar em um abnt2. ] fica logo ao lado do [ / pode ser encontrada ao usar o alt da direita e a tecla Q ? pode ser encontrado ao usar o alt da direita e a tecla W A única coisa que realmente ficaria faltando seria a tecla \ que em um teclado abnt2 ficaria entre o shift esquerdo e a letra Z, porém com a opção de configuração na camada fn você pode adicionar facilmente tal tecla. A tecla ESC vem por padrão para ser ESC e ” com o uso do shift, para fazer ‘ basta usar fn e a tecla ESC. Caso você prefira usar o sistema em configuração de teclado us mesmo para poder usar as teclas que você vê no próprio teclado, há tutoriais de como você pode usar a configuração correta para ainda digitar em português e onde vai encontrar tudo que precisar.
A construção do teclado é maravilhosa, ele é muito gostoso de se usar e ouvir, muito confortável e fácil de transportar. Por ser de metal é um pouco pesadinho para o tamanho; tal peso, junto com as borrachas na parte inferior fazem com que ele não escorregue na mesa.
Para jogos ele é muito bom, o único problema é que você pode sentir faltas de usar teclas F1-F12 dependendo do jogo e, assim como eu, talvez sinta falta da tecla ‘ ao lado do 1, mas nada que uma configuração de perfil não resolva. Eu uso uma configuração de perfil para jogar que inverte a tecla ESC fazendo com que o padrão dela seja o ‘ e precise usar o fn para ESC.
O software para controle é muito bom, o controle de iluminação é bem completo e te permite colocar várias camadas para criar a iluminação que desejar. Controle e criação de comandos e de configuração na camada FN são muito bons também. Pra mim é importante então devo ressaltar que, diferente do software da Corsair, o NGENUITY não te dá a opção de usar as teclas F13-F24 para comandos; caso isso mude e eu lembre, virei alterar minha avaliação. Para usar a configuração de diferentes perfis como eu disse na seção de jogos, é necessário fechar o NGENUITY, coloquei o meu para não abrir automaticamente quando o pc ligar e não tenho problemas. Ele deixa tudo salvo na memória do próprio teclado.

Packaging and Delivery: Came a day earlier than expected. Packaging was good. Transportation was also good as there was no sort of damage on the internal or the external packaging. Kudos to Amazon on that! The box contents were: The keyboard The detachable USB Cable User Manual A Warranty Card A Welcome Card from HyperX With that out of the way lets move on to the juicy part! I am using the Hyper X Alloy Origins(Aqua Switches) to the write the review. Keys: I have been using the cherry mx brown switches since I’m not a big fan of the linear red or the clicky blues. And honestly I must admit that the these switches are bit smoother than the mx brown. I don’t know what magic HyperX has done but whatever it is I like it. Sound: I like how the keys sound, its music to the ears. I’m disappointed on how the space bar and the backspace sound. Its not that bad but yeah it’s like a noise to the music these switches produce. The backspace isn’t that bad but there is a lot spring ping sound from the space bar. You’ll get used to it I guess. I’ll tell you about whether I got used to it or not when I update this review. Apart from the space bar the keys are not obnoxiously loud like the MX blues, no one is gonna complaint about you typing or playing games on this keyboard, but they may complain about the space bar XD Keyboard: The keyboard footprint is slim profile. Minimal Bezels so if you have a tight workspace/gamespace like me, then this keyboard is gonna be a big fit. I have the full layout version, the TKL will save you even more space. There is a 65% version of this keyboard out there but unfortunately not in India. The keyboard has two inclination legs. Do you need a wrist rest? Not really unless you type for long hours. But even so they keycaps are not that high so as to make buying a wrist rest mandatory. The keyboard is adequately heavy giving it the premium feel. There is no flex when in the normal or any of the two inclination angles. The USB cable exits from the right and there are no other routing options so keep that in mind. Keycaps: So far the keycaps have not picked up any oil or fingerprint. The texture is smooth and soft to touch. Only time will tell how these hold up, but even so I’m guessing it will last a long time before you have to actually replace them. RGB(Everyone’s favorite topic I guess, well almost everyone): Per-Key RGB with the option to customize however you want. There are three levels of brightness excluding the off option. The lights are bright as you can see in the image when compared to the full brightness on my laptop keyboard. The light shines through the FN options as well so you dont have to worry about that being a problem at night. There are three presets available on this keyboard which you can customize any way you want. The Ngenuity software: So the reviews on Youtube state that you need to keep the software running in order to keep your lighting setting running, since then HyperX has updated their software. Yes it is still only available on the Microsoft store, but the days where you had to keep the software running to light the keyboard the way you want are long gone. You can customize your keyboard whatever way you want and then the software has an option to save to keyboard which as it says allows you to save your profiles to the keyboard. Once its saved you can exit out of the software and the lighting you chose will still work. As a matter of fact the purple color shown in the images doesn’t have the software running in the background. Gaming: I only played Destiny 2 with this just for 10 mins and I enjoyed it. The switches are not gonna be a bother to you in any way. Conclusion: Its a great keyboard and if you can find it on sale like I did for 7300 Rs. Its a steal. If you are new to mechanical keyboards and wants to try one, if you have the money I would definitely recommend this over any other in the this price segment. Though this keyboard does have a rival of sorts (Keychron K2 V2), it also comes for the same price tag of around 7200Rs and its wireless (can be used as wired too). It has its own use cases depending on what you use it for(mac users are gonna love that thing). I’ll update this review as time passes or I find some cons. As for now I cant really find any cons So yeah thats my review for the HyperX Alloy Origins (Aqua Switches). If you found it useful, consider leaving a like. TYPE Awayyyyyyyyyyyy

The package arrived from amazon on time as promised. Opening the box presents the HyperX allows, TKL (Ten Key Less) keyboard. Solid aluminum frame and keys are quite well lit, with out of the box illumination set. The overall feeling on typing is solid. I am switching from a dell Bluetooth keyboard and straight up my typing mistakes have reduced. Typing speed has gone up as well. The backlit per key LED lighting is a treat to the eyes and converts the usual monotonous keyboard view to something you want to take a look at while working every now and then. Miles ahead of the regular membrane keyboard and I am happy to have chosen this and not the more expensive versions from Logitech or similar brands. HyperX allows suits my work needs and gaming I am yet to use. The keys are super smooth with the right feedback. I think the click sound is pretty much same as my keyboard that replaced.
Keys are well placed, accurately lettered and the various brighness level adjustments right from the keyboard via functional keys makes quick adjustments easy too. All in all well recommended.
