Not everything is so bad, but there are disadvantages.

If not for the marriage, I would probably have given up the keyboard anyway because of the noise, I got used to the greater silence from the mechanics. But vendors keep saying that the build quality of HyperX Alloy Origins is good - better than, say, Razer, so maybe this model is not bad, and it's worth at least trying it.
If the goal is to buy high-quality, but still non-custom mechanics, then it is better to look at Varmilo, Leopold and other keyboards of this class. Yes, there you will not always find RGB backlighting or flexible macro settings through software (and software as such), but the build quality and printing feel and, as they say, durability are on top.

Pros

1. Pleasant key travel (red switches: HyperX Red) - smooth, not heavy. 2. Very beautiful lighting, and the overall design is nothing. 3. The ability to configure the backlight and program the keys through the HyperX software (I have not tried it, I heard that they are scolded, but it seems to be gradually being completed).

Cons

1. Marriage caught: multiple pressing of the T key (2022 - or N English). I returned the keyboard and did not take HyperX anymore, because. see point 2 2. The keys are already very loudly knocking on the case when typing. The Varmilo, for example, has noise isolation in the cabinet, and the sound is much more moderate, although the Cherry MX switches are not as smooth, if not lubricated. But this is subjective, maybe someone will get a "machine-gun" knock on the keyboard, or it will not interfere with headphones. 3. Thin ABS plastic of the keys - smooth, easily soiled, for sure the letters will quickly be erased. PBT would be better, but this is treated by replacing keycaps (HyperX has, for example, in the "Pudding" style), a set costs 2-3 thousand.
