"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.

Do not hit the “Add to Cart” button until you read this review! This is an honest review based on my own personal experience using the HyperX Alloy Origins Core keyboard for more than two months. Do not get me wrong, overall, it is a really good keyboard, however, I think it’s worth noting its pluses as well as its problems before you make your final decision and hit the “Add to Cart” button. This keyboard has a lot of functionality; however, it also has a few issues. There are definitely many pros for the HyperX keyboard. In my opinion, it has a lot of functionality and is clearly worth the price. First, the LED lights on this keyboard are really cool! They are individually controlled and allow you to easily change the lighting effects. And believe me, when I say it, these lights are much nicer than you would expect. It is as if you have your own personal mini light show! Second, the more compact Tenkeyless (TKL) size fits nicely on my desk and gives me significantly more room to work with. That means less mess! Woohoo! I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone who likes the TKL style. Third, the tactile aqua switches are also really nice. Additionally, on the issue of whether you want linear or tactile switches, that will be entirely up to your personal preference. However, a general rule of thumb that I use is if you will be typing documents and gaming get tactile, and if you are just going to use it for gaming only, get linear. Fourth, the all-aluminum body design is sturdier than most keyboards. Fifth, because HyperX frequently updates their software, it provides the user with the latest new features. Sixth, if you are coming from a non-mechanical keyboard it will take some getting used to at first because of the difference in actuation time. However, once you get used to this, it is hard to go back to a non-mechanical keyboard due to all the benefits that come with a mechanical keyboard. Basically, the mechanical keyboard has a better feel to it and is easier to work with than other keyboards. Finally, the removable USB plug is a great feature since it allows you to use custom USB cables for that extra bit of aesthetics. Now for the cons of the HyperX keyboard. The first issue I found was the lack of onboard memory for key trigger effects, however, this has since been fixed. Second, the lack of dedicated media keys was extremely difficult to get used to. In my opinion, this keyboard could be improved by adding media keys. Finally, the NGenuity software kind of sucks! Specifically, during the automatic software updates, it sometimes removes features that you like and want to keep. As a result, just when you get used to a specific feature and without any warning, NGenuity removes it. Basically, the software is slightly difficult to work with, although it does get the job done. Bottom line, the software is definitely not perfect and could be a bit more intuitive. As you can see, the HyperX keyboard has many more pros than cons that should be considered before you hit the “Add to Cart” button. Overall, the keyboard is very good, and I will continue to use it as my main keyboard. For the price, it does it all with a nice compact design to keep your desk clean and uncluttered. If you are looking for a new keyboard, I would suggest taking a look at this one, however, don’t take my word for it, look at all the other reviews online. I hope you found this review helpful. This keyboard has a lot of functionality; however, it also has a few issues to consider before you hit the “Add to Cart” button.

I've owned quite a few keyboards and especially mechanical keyboards. After my wife took my Logitech G512, my favorite keyboard except that it's not TKL, I needed to find another board. I've used HyperX gear before, I have their headset and love it, so I figured I would give this a shot. I agonized over the specs of the this board vs the G512, Razer huntsman TE and others. On paper these switches are not as quick and have more travel then the other two options. However, in real world use you don't really notice the difference. The linear switches are very smooth and the overall bottom out sound is not too loud. I would say the G 512 is a tad bit quieter. There is vertually no wobble with the keys either, which is something from the 512 I really came to like. The RGB color is nice and clear, better than the G512. The software is super easy to use and seems to be nice and light weight. Plus you can save three profiles right to the board which my G512 couldn't do. Overall very happy with my purchase.
