Review on HyperX Alloy Origins – Software-Controlled Light & Macro Customization, Compact Form Factor – Tactile HyperX Aqua Switch by Ada Markiewicz ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Second-rate goods, I wont buy any more.

If you sum up all of the above, then you buy a comfortable tractor, instead of a business class sedan. Which, to be honest, is strange, because the brochure was a sedan. Everything works, but in this case it was worth buying a tractor right away, and not a sedan wrapper. And yes, the packaging of the keyboard is worse than those that the 2022 Post can offer. And the key for pulling out keycaps is sold separately (: I highly recommend not to buy my review on the aliexpress website (the keyboard was purchased there) was deleted, although it was moderated. What's amusingly removed along with a positive review from another buyer

Pros
  • Everything related to the mechanical component of the keyboard is done well. After a couple of months of using the keyboard, the spacebar staggers a little, uncritically, but very, very unpleasant. USB-Type C wire in a dense braid. Full format with Num block.
Cons
  • Everything about the software is just awful. The feeling that the development of the program was given to hackers from 7 "B". Flexible backlight setting? -Yes, but it doesn't work. The application cannot be minimized to tray like Steam. The only thing that can be done is to minimize the window that you will see every time you turn to the desktop screen, the quality of the developers' school food apparently affected here. When you close the application, all your settings are lost. Only Odin and his ravens know which world they are moving to. The funny thing is that if you reconfigure any key in the software, for example, Num.5 will perform the function of a mouse click, then even when you change the PC, this function will work. Why, in this case, does not save the backlight work? -Apparently, this is studied in the 8th grade. And here you will have 2 chairs: 1) Put up with altab on this program every time 2) Turn off the software and enjoy the lack of backlight, or its standard modes. By the way, the rating of the wonderful application that is used to customize the keyboard, Hyperx Ngenuity in the Microsoft Store, is 1.5 stars. I wonder why?
