Our Verdict
HyperX Alloy Origins 60
Redragon Dragonborn K630 RGB
The Redragon Dragonborn K630 RGB and the HyperX Alloy Origins 60 are both compact 60% mechanical boards, but the HyperX performs better overall. The HyperX keys are PBT and feel more stable, which gives it a much better typing quality. Also, it has much lower latency and media hotkeys by default. On the other hand, the Redragon is available with clicky, tactile, and linear switches, and the board is hot-swappable. Meanwhile, the HyperX is only available with linear switches.
