Our Verdict

HyperX Alloy Origins

Wooting one

The Wooting one and the HyperX Alloy Origins are two amazing keyboards, but for different reasons. The Wooting has unique optical switches and allows for analog inputs, while the HyperX is just solid all-around. The HyperX comes in a variety of switches, offers bright RGB lighting, and feels very premium and well-made.
