Very bright and durable!

I like the HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard, it's very bright and durable. I originally bought a Redragon K556 keyboard but returned it because it wasn't bright enough for me. I read reviews about how bright the HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard can be and that's why I bought it and I'm glad I did. I also like how it uses a C-cable to connect to the keyboard instead of a wired cable. The only thing I don't like about the HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard is where the cable connects to the keyboard. I like to manage cables and hide as many cables as possible. I drilled a hole in my desk and routed a cable through it, but I can still see a cable because it's attached to the back right side of the keyboard (see second picture). I searched the internet for a right angle. C cable and I found "Anker USB A to USB C 180 Degree Right Angle Gaming Cable" (see first link below). I also bought a USB 3.0 extension cable (see second link below). https://www.amazon. "Anchor Cable 180 Degrees Right Angle" fits this keyboard perfectly and hides the cable well! (see first picture). The cable is only 3 feet long so I had to buy a USB 3.0 extension cable so it could connect to my computer. Also, the right-angle cable is a little tight, so you have to push a little to connect it to the keyboard, but it works. I wish these keyboard manufacturers would have put a cable on the bottom of the keyboard for better cable management. I know that many gamers also prefer to hide their cables and drill holes in their desk for better cable management, so I think HyperX should consider updating its design. I'm glad I found a cable management solution in the Anker 180 Degree Right Angle USB-A to USB-C Gaming Cable. I hope this review helps some people.
