One of the best weighted mechanical keyboards out there.
The media could not be loaded. I've reviewed or used plenty of keyboards out there over the years, and mechanical keyboards are just the best for feel and for gaming. You just get that instant feedback of knowing you have clicked that cap. The blue key caps are the best I've felt for a while but they come at a cost, there blooming loud, you can see this in the video I've attached to this review.I mean if you want a good weighted keyboard this is the one, all of them seem to be doing the old adage of lighting patterns and different software to change each, to be honest I'm not a massive fan of changing lights from one or two settings, I like it to respond on sound usually and sometimes I like it to respond on click only. Depends what I'm doing at the time.But what I do like is the overall feel of this keyboard and I would recommend it for both gamers and general use.+metal backing so nice and weighted+blue keys are superb+change lighting to suit+full size- Loud Keys- Quite pricey new

good gaming keyboard
Very sturdy, very heavy, very fast keys, great lighting effects. But damn horrible for typing, the keys are too sensitive and double space because of it. For games, it is very good and robust.

Faulty! SELLER - PLEASE ADVISE
I bought this on sale on Prime Day as I had my heart set on a RGB Mechanical keyboard. It arrived on Saturday and I can’t use it. The cable doesn’t work, I have to keep wiggling it to get the lights on, as soon as I go to type it goes off. So I can’t even review it properly. I contacted Amazon customer services and they said I had to PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT CABLE! I have contacted HyperC directly. If I get this resolved I will edit my review.

The RGB keyboard for everyone
The media could not be loaded. I picked this up to use across two systems as I recently started using a docked laptop as my daily driver. The usb-c connection makes swapping between systems as simple as swapping a single cable, meanwhile I can tuck the other cable away when not in use. This is replacing the alloy elite and this is my experience so far ...Been using this board since late Feb 2021 and I love it. It has a much smaller footprint than the alloy elite while boasting pretty much all of the same features. At first the removal of the dedicated media keys, volume roller, and dedicated RGB keys was bothering me, but all of these functions are mapped to the function keys on this board. Not having those keys is actually the big thing I love about this board. It offers the same hyper x clicky switches that I love in a much more compact form factor.The build quality is great. The deck is all metal and super slim compared to the alloy elite as well as every other board I've used in the past. It's close to logitech's offerings as far as thinness goes, but without the extreme flex and terrible keycaps. The hyper x keycaps use standard mx stems so using pretty much any keycap set should fit these, though check the questions if you're looking for specific compatibility.I removed the pudding keycaps from my alloy elite and swapped them over to these which ... is a mixed bag. Overall I love the floating keycap design and the backlighting on this thing is both very bright and software accurate. I do miss the the legends printed on the FN keys that tell me which keys do what since I no longer have the dedicated media keys, but it took approximately a day to remember everything. Compared to the alloy elite this board seems much brighter overall. The lowest setting on these switches seems to be brighter than the highest setting on the elite, which could be a placebo effect but I don't know. I can't turn these up to max without it being painful to keep in my periphery. So RGB?? Fantastic on this board, especially with the pudding keycaps.I also really like the adjustable feet that offers you 3 different height adjustments. It's pretty standard these days but I still love to see it.Another thing I love is the numlock/caps lock display. It's positioned perfectly so that you can easily see at a glance which functions you have activated. This was not the case on the alloy elite. The display was placed too closely to the numpad meaning that unless you were sitting up very straight, are super tall, or leaned forward to look at it you could NOT tell what was on/off. This is a big improvement. It seems minor but it really bugged me on the elite.Not much else to say. Keycaps feel great, very stable and it has that satisfying bump I'm looking for in an mx-blue style switch. i love it.So everything about this keyboard is amazing, but it right now!! ... oh wait ... the softwareWell the software is pretty barebones, isn't very streamlined, and still appears to be in beta from the MS store? I'm not sure as I didn't install this on the computer I'm using right now. I used my old pc (desktop) to set this up since it already had the hyperx software (ngenuity i believe) installed, and it works well enough. While the colors of the keycaps are very accurate in terms of how close they are to what you see in the software you would not notice this with the stock keycaps. The black seems to shift the colors just a little bit so that they appear darker. With the pudding keycaps though they're amazing. Can't complain here. So yeah use the software once to customize your board, then uninstall it. There are plenty of effects to choose from whether you prefer static colors or moving effects ... it all looks great.And with that yeah I think we're done. This is a fantastic keyboard for anyone looking for a better overall typing experience. Do some research about switches, maybe order a sample pack of switches or something, to find the one that's right from you, then go nuts. Great product, will definitely be buying hyper x again if they can maintain this level of quality and value. Good stuff

Very Bright and Sturdy!
I love the "HyperX Alloy Origins" Keyboard, it's very bright and sturdy. I originally bought the "Redragon K556" Keyboard but returned it because it was not bright enough for me. I read reviews about how bright the "HyperX Alloy Origins" Keyboard can get and that is the reason I purchased this one and I'm glad I did. I also like how it uses a C Cable to attach to the keyboard rather than the cord being hardwired.The only thing I don't like about the "HyperX Alloy Origins" Keyboard is the location where the cable connects to the keyboard. I like cable management and to hide as many cables as I can. I drilled a hole in my desk and ran the cable through my desk, however, I can still see a little bit of the cord because it attaches to the back right of the keyboard (See Second Image).I looked online for a right angle C Cable and I found the “Anker 180 Degree Right Angle USB A to USB C Gaming Cord” (See First Link Below).I also purchased a USB 3.0 Extension Cable (See Second Link Below).https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SNS51RK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psp=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088GSJLWX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psp=1The “Anker 180 Degree Right Angle Cord” is perfect for this keyboard and hides the cord well! (See First Image). The cord is only 3 ft. long so I had to purchase a USB 3.0 Extension Cable so it could reach my PC. Also, the Right Angle Cord is a little tight so you have to push in a little to connect it to the keyboard, but it works.I wish these keyboard manufactures would connect the cable to the bottom of the keyboard for better cable management. I know a lot of gamers out there also prefer to hide their cables and also drill holes in their desk for better cable management, so I think HyperX should consider updating their design. I am happy to have found a cable management solution with the "Anker 180 Degree Right Angle USB A to USB C Gaming Cord”.Hope this review helps some people.

Very nice keyboard, especially for the price
The keyboard is very nice and the mechanical switches and rgb are very nice, the keyboard has 3 different profiles that allow you to quickly swap out the rgb, and with the software you can download on your pc you have complete control of your rgb lights.

Great keyboard but very noisy!
This keyboard is very responsive, and the backlight can be adjusted exactly as you want it. I like that the USB plug is over to the side so if you use it on your lap, it's not over your knees.The only complaint I have is the noise. This is the loudest keyboard I've ever had. Definitely not good for streamers.

Está muy chulo pero es caro
Si lo comparas con un teclado de 30€ mecánico y de switch azul de los que hay por Amazon, se nota la calidad y puede que me duré más pero se disfruta igual que el teclado de 30€, quizá un poco más.Las luces muy bonitas y con unos degradados espectaculares, creo que la mitad del precio del teclado se le ha ido a Hyperx en los leds. Es ruidoso pero en un sentido positivo.Es posible que en 6 meses un teclado de 30€ estuviese ya muriendo o cayéndose a pedazos y que éste dure 3 o 4 veces más, aunque eso SI LAS TECLAS NO AGUANTAN pegadas al switch, como ha puesto alguien por aquí en un video, se salen con mucha facilidad: cada día se me salen varias veces la flecha derecha, no sé si es culpa mía o que es el mayor defecto de este teclado.
