HyperX Alloy Origins 65

The HyperX Alloy Origins 65 is an outstanding gaming keyboard. The linear HyperX red switches are light to actuate and have a fairly short pre-travel distance, meaning they feel very responsive. The keyboard as a whole feels incredibly well-built thanks to its solid aluminum case, and the RGB backlighting shines through each key, and you can easily customize it in the companion software. It also has incredibly low latency, and all keys are macro-programmable using the companion software. On the downside, its ergonomics are only okay as it's a high-profile board that doesn't come with a wrist rest, though it does have two incline settings to alleviate any strain.

The HyperX Alloy Origins 65 is a wonderful compact wired gaming keyboard. It’s immensely well built, displaying no deck flex at all. There are some snappy light switches that are responsive and great for gaming, and its lighting is some of the best out there for the price. Just be wary of the simple functionalities within the software that may leave some wanting a little bit more.

For those looking for a portable gaming keyboard, the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 is a good place to start. It features colored backlighting, a fast response time, and the tactile feedback is incredibly satisfying. But its main issue lies in the narrow frame, which reduces the key size and can make typing a chore.
