HyperX Alloy Origins 60

The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is fantastic for gaming. This very well-built keyboard uses HyperX Red linear switches, which feel very light and responsive. It has an incredibly low click latency, full RGB backlighting, and you can set macros to any key through the NGENUITY software. Unfortunately, while it has two incline settings, it doesn't come with a wrist rest.
