This is a really solid tenkeyless keyboard. The build quality feels premium and the aluminum frame gives it a sturdy, durable feel. The keys are responsive and satisfying to type on, whether for gaming or everyday use. The compact size also frees up a lot of desk space, which I really like. The RGB lighting is bright and customizable through software, and it looks clean without being distracting. This is my second HyperX alloy keyboard and would definitely recommend. The sound is nice, not too much as some other mechanical keyboards. USB-C cable connection is a nice upgrade from the previous HyperX keyboards. You won't be disappointed with this.

I've had this keyboard for three years and I use it for everything. It is my daily driver for both work and recreation. I've had many keyboards from old IBM heavy clackers, to dome-switch Dells, to gamer-y RGB mechanicals (from another brand), to hand-lubed custom swappable keyswitch types, and this HyperX Alloy Origins Core is my overall favorite to date. It's very solid, reliable, has a consistent smooth and lightly tactile key action (I got the aqua switches) and pictures don't do it justice. It may look like just another black RGB keyboard but the feel, weight, minimalistic design, and lighting quality in-person all feel premium. There is a little rattle from the space bar stabilizers but that's nit-picking and can probably be solved with lube. The well-placed rubber feet and heavy weight keep it from sliding around. The braided USB cable is removable. The TKL is my favorite version of this keyboard not only because it strikes the right balance between size and the keys I most use, but also it's understated appearance with the TKL's black on black HyperX logo. With the bright, programmable RGB lighting it can do wild gamer style but can also pull off looking clean and professional. The keycaps that come with it are not PBT but they are high quality. They have a smooth texture and show fingerprints to some degree but they do not wear down. The font is clear and not obnoxiously gamer-y. Again it hits a balance between understated clean and gamer glitz. After years of constant use, the WASD and spacebar keys still look and feel as good as the rest of the keys without the uneven wear and glossiness that commonly develops with other keyboards. One of my favorite features is the look of the backlighting. Many premium mechanical keyboards do not have backlighting and ones that do often have unevenly lit keys or fonts that have hotspots that just look cheap to me. Not this keyboard; it has the most evenly lit key fonts I've seen. And this keyboard can go bright when you turn it up. The included RGB software is ok. I had no problems with it but understand others have. Good news is you can download up to three different custom lighting profiles into the keyboard itself, so you DO NOT have to have the software running to enjoy custom lighting, animations, or macros, if you are into that.

The first thing I noticed when I pulled the Hyperx Alloy Core Origins out of the box was the weight. The thing was HEFTY. This just screams quality to me. Usually keyboard around this price range are not made out of metal and if they are it's only on top while the bottom of the board is plastic. This is not the case with this one. The whole keyboard is metal. The frame is very sturdy and the hyperx aqua switches are pretty good. Coming from cherry mx reds, using these aqua switches was a great improvement from my older corsair board. The keycaps that come applied on the board are okay in quality, but there are some better one's out there as far as durability is concerned, but at this price point I am not going to complain. Just buy yourself a good set of pbt keycaps for around 15 dollars. Hyperx sells those as well which is what I replaced the old caps with. The lighting and RGB is extremely bright and has 5 brightness options: Off and 4 levels increasing in intensity. This board outshines by a huge margin my older Corsair k70 lux. I would have given this hyperx and this keyboard a 4.9 out of 5 stars because although I am in love with the board the software is close to being complete trash. I read other reviews prior to purchasing that the software (Ngenuity) was bad, but reviewers tend to exaggerate some things. Not with this though. The software always crashes whenever I attempt to customize the colors and profiles of my board. It occurs randomly every few minutes or so and if it does it erases and undo's all of the customization that you have input into the app. Not only that but you would have to keep the program running to have it save the profiles. Like I said this would have been given a 4.9, but since that's not an option I think giving it a 4 would be lying to the customer who wants to buy this next. Excellent product!

So I bought what I assume is a returned item from Amazon WH. Cost me $57 instead of the $79 for the it is currently showing for. The keyboard looks new. Not a single scratch. It has heft and it is constructed entirely of this smooth aluminum metal. Very rigid and nice construction. Lighting is very bright but you can adjust it. Brightest keyboard I have ever owned and I have own at least one of all major brands. The red keys feel very good. Cherry reds give less resistance from my experience though. At 57 dollars this keyboard is a steal. The issue I ran into with the keyboard and why i assume the keyboard was return is with the software update. So the keyboard is plug and play. But to access hyper x’s software to adjust lighting and create macros you need to update the software for the keyboard. This can be done through hyper x’s app made for its keyboards and mice. However, I was not able to download the software update which essentially made customizing the keyboard impossible. Something was glitching with their app. Tried resetting keyboard among other things without success. Finally i found the stand a lone driver for the keyboard and it allowed me to update the software which in turn allowed me to customize the keyboard. Keyboard works as advertised now and for $57 I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

Update: I am changing this review after having had HyperX replace the keyboard and a lot of heavy use with no further issues. It very much seems that they learned their lesson from this, and the software is now available for install outside the Microsoft ecosystem, which was far and away my biggest gripe. It also now works flawlessly. I have to hand it to HyperX, they learned their lesson and pushed hard to fix it. I should not have left my review at 1-star for such a long time. This now gets a solid 4-stars from me. "Take a step away from membrane keyboards!" they said. "You'll enjoy it!" they said. I did. Until I didn't. See, for the most part, I love it; mine's got the HyperX Red switches, and they feel really nice, other than I would've liked a little less resistance on the keypress for typing and stuff. The RGB is pretty, the keys are stabilized well, overall the keyboard made the first two weeks very pleasant. And then the problems began. At first it was minor, one press in ten, the 'c' key wouldn't actually register. Then one time in 5, then one in 2, and then it would take several keypresses to actually get it to register. "Surely the switch has failed." I thought. So, I rang up HyperX support, and they had me troubleshoot the issue, and lo and behold, it's a simple fix, a driver update via their NGENUITY software. Great, easy enough, except many people start getting a sinking feeling when you talk about peripheral hardware and driver failure in the same sentence. Fast forward a month or so, and all of the sudden, I press the 'm' key, only to have nothing happen. I press it again; it works. A fluke? No, now it only gets one in ten presses, if that. Alright, I'll just update the drivers again right? WRONG. Because now NGENUITY can't see the keyboard. Restart? Replug? Nothing works. Alright then, uninstall NGENUITY and everything will work great, surely? As it turns out, this is just one layer of the failure onion that HyperX, a generally reputable division of Kingston, has created. So let's approach this layer by layer. First off, we have keys randomly failing due to driver issues. This begs the question of what the he** the drivers are doing that individual keys can fail and leave all other functionality unaffected. What is going on under the hood that permits this. Then we have the NGENUITY software, which at first glance, isn't all that bad. It's at second and third glance that it gets really bad. Now we have another key failure, but now NGENUITY can't tell the keyboard is there. The logical option is to reinstall, but HyperX decided, in their infinite wisdom, "Hey, let's make this install exclusively through the Microsoft Store. That definitely won't make the software a complete pain to troubleshoot.". Well, funny story, you can uninstall it, but thanks to Microsoft's garbage "store" software, it, in my case at least, cannot be reinstalled. It just throws error 0x80073D05 ad infinitum. Normally, if you uninstalled something and then couldn't reinstall it, you'd just purge every mention of it in your filesystem right? Well in this case, you can't. Store apps are kept in a hidden file that it appears even administrator accounts can no longer grant themselves access to, so as much as I'd like to simply purge everything associated with this software and have another go, I can't. Even if NGENUITY worked, I wouldn't have a way to install it. So now I have a keyboard that has, in my definition, failed. Keypresses go in, letters come out. If letters don't come out, the keyboard has failed. Somehow, HyperX has made great hardware, then kneecapped it with awful software that installs through a worse platform. I'd love this keyboard, but it doesn't work, and I can't even blame the keyboard for it. Hardware failures I can understand, a certain number of units are going to be DOA, that's life, but software rendering hardware unusable? That's just sheer incompetence, nothing less, especially when you're pushing unstable versions of software to customers who already have the hardware, which then renders it unusable. This has really degraded my confidence in HyperX as a whole, and just as Razer's DeathAdder and Logitech's G502 left a bad taste in my mouth over their hardware (thus, leading to me looking elsewhere for a new keyboard), HyperX has demonstrated an egregious level of incompetence I've never encountered.

This is my first mechanical keyboard and I now understand why they are preferred over membrane variants. I went with the aqua keys and they are wonderful for both typing and gaming. I've had the keyboard for about two weeks now and it's really great. I've heard a lot of complaints about the software, but I've had no problems whatsoever with using it. It's intuitive and functional enough that I set up my keyboard in just a few minutes and haven't had to use the program again. The backlighting works well and is quite vibrant. The keys feel wonderful and responsive. I was initially worried about tactile keys being annoying for gaming, but after using them I couldn't recommend them more. Some people mentioned the cheap keycaps, but I haven't had any issues personally with them. My only complaint is that if you're a heavy handed typist like myself, there is a faint metallic ring when hitting the keys. It isn't loud and doesn't bother me much, but I'd be happier if it wasn't there at all. It's a minor gripe overall and isn't worth deducting a star for. Most of the time I'm typing with headphones on and can't hear it at all, so it hasn't bothered me much. If you like to type in a quiet environment though, it might annoy you. Edit: 8 Month update: Unfortunately, the W key on my keyboard stopped working yesterday. Fortunately, the customer service is so excellent that they shipped me a replacement and I'm typing on it today. It's hard to complain about a one day turnaround. Fantastic.

My first mechanical keyboard was a fantastic hit (for me). And it took me about 3 years to kill it. You know you've spilled quite a bit into it when swapping out the keys doesn't fix issues. So, once I determined that there was just no saving the original, I hopped on Amazon to see if it was too late to get a next-day replacement. Most of the mechanicals I saw were already past the 1-day threshold and then I saw this one. First, it's tenkeyless - and even though I don't ever find myself using that keypad, it's still tough to imagine giving one up until you've tried. But I loved the footprint, there was a refurbed model at a great discount and I squeaked in to next-day delivery with like 26 minutes to spare. Final verdict: I don't miss the ten-key pad at all... in fact I LOVE the tiny desk footprint. On top of that, I got the red (linear) keys and the typing action is very solid. The keyboard uses aircraft-grade aluminum on both top and bottom, so it's got incredible weight and doesn't slide all over my desk when I'm deep into some intense FPS'ing. And here's the cherry on top: the keys sit well above the keyboard's top... so, if you drop some crumbs or similar, a 3 second burst of canned air has it looking brand new again. Coffee or soda is probably going to be an issue but any fluid is going to have no problem draining immediately off this keyboard, whereas many of the mechanicals I've seen have switches inset into channels that block fluid runoff, so it's at least a potential help. If you're looking for a rock-solid mechanical with excellent key-press action, and don't need the keypad, I think this is a fantastic choice. I work and play on this keyboard and have no complaints about how well it performs. FWIW, I'm not using the software that adds support for more lighting schemes and macros, but I hear it's sort of a mixed bag with folks who do.

Firstly, let me start by saying that I got the Origins Core ten keyless with aqua switches. My first impressions out of the box were, if I were to sum it up, I was simply blown away. I buy keyboards around this price because it's usually not a big deal for me as long as the switches are good, it has good build quality, and the reviews are good. This is my first keyboard made from aluminum alloy and it looks and feels incredible. The pictures do not do this keyboard justice. Not to mention, the RGB is phenomenal and looks so clean. For $80, alone, 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 while waiting for this to arrive were the aqua switches. I can't really describe the feel because it is something you have to try fopr yourself. However, I will say that they feel mostly tactile but ever so slightly linear. But oh man, let me tell you, they feel so good when typing and playing. Think of cherry mx reds mixed with brown switches that also has a nice cushion and beautiful sound with each click. In short, I am extremely satisfied with this product and would go out and buy it again if something happened. Also, I replaced my keycaps with hyperx pbt doubleshot pudding caps.
