HyperX Alloy Origins – Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, HyperX Aqua, (QWERTY – US Layout)

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.

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.

El RGB se ve muy bien y además es muy configurable. Los swiches aqua son un gustazo.

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

Ich habe diese Tastatur direkt mit der Razer Black Widow Lite vergleichen können. Die HyperX ist von der Verarbeitung her eine Stufe darüber. Die Aqua Switches sind noch einmal einen Ticken besser als die vergleichbaren Razer Orange Switches und deutlich leiser, auch ohne O-Ringe. Der Druckpunkt ist etwas präziser. Welten liegen hingegen bei den Tastenkappen. Während sie bei der Razer eher klapperig sind, kommen die von HyperX deutlich wertiger rüber. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und würde diese Tastatur definitiv weiterempfehlen.

Llevo ya un tiempo utilizando el producto, es mi primer teclado tipo gamer y estoy encantado. El teclado es pesado y eso me gusta, las teclas táctiles no son tan ruidosas y son muy suaves. Viene en idioma inglés pero ese no es ningún problema ya que se pueden configurar macros o utilizar el acceso ascii para utilizar los caracteres que no vienen. Para trabajar es muy cómodo, y para jugar lo es aún más. Hay que utilizar el programa de hyperx para poder tener más configuración de colores, pero una vez instalado se le pueden cambiar los presets que ya trae por unos nuevos.

+Completamente in metallo, entrambi i lati della tastiera. Molto solida. Non scivola +Gli switch sono i più veloci e precisi disponibili sul mercato +cavo usb removibile +I red switch hyperx sono utilizzati anche da white cat (attuale campione mondiale osu) -non mi piacciono i tasti, avrei preferito dei keycaps texturati Ho provati sia i switch rossi (hyperx), che i switch aqua (hyperx) I switch aqua richiedono decisamente più fatica dei rossi a essere premuti Sono rimasto positivamente sorpreso che hyperx ha prodotto tastiera e switch che a mio parere battono le altre tastiere che ho avuto nel corso degli anni, tra cui la steel series apex e le optomeccaniche razer (linear e tactile) Questa tastiera è un prodotto assolutamente consigliato all'acquisto. Non rimarrete delusi
