Our Verdict

HyperX Alloy Origins

HyperX Alloy Origins 65

The HyperX Alloy Origins and the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 are very similar wired, mechanical gaming keyboards, but with a few differences. The Origins 65 is a compact 65% keyboard with dedicated arrow keys. It feels better built since it uses PBT keycaps instead of ABS, and it comes with some extra goodies like a wire keycap puller and additional space-themed keycaps. On the other hand, the original Origins is a full-size form factor with a Numpad and navigational cluster. The linear HyperX red switches have a shorter pre-travel distance on this keyboard. Both have very low latency and use the same straightforward software for customization.
