Review on πŸ’‘ HyperX Alloy Origins Core - Tenkeyless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Software Controlled Light & Macro Customization, Compact Form Factor, RGB LED Backlit & Clicky HyperX Blue Switch by Shawn Pollock

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This keyboard is by far my absolute favorite

Let me start by saying that I have an Origins Core 10 Keyless with Aqua Switches. My first impression upon unboxing was, to sum it up, I was blown away. I buy keyboards around this price point because I don't usually mind much as long as the switches are good, they have good build quality and good reviews. This is my first aluminum alloy keyboard and it looks amazing. The photos don't do this keyboard justice. Not to mention the phenomenal RGB lighting that looks very clean. For only $80, the deck and RGB are two solid features that would make me buy this again if I had to. By far my most anticipated feature in anticipation of this was the Aqua switches. I can't describe the feeling exactly because you have to try it yourself. However, I will say that they feel mainly tactile but slightly linear. But heck, let me tell you, they feel so good to type and play. Imagine cherry red MXs mixed with brown shifters that also have nice damping and tone with each click. In short, I am very happy with this product and would buy it again if something happened. Also, I replaced my keycaps with Hyperx PBT Doubleshot pudding caps.

Cons
