Review: Initial Review and thoughts - Packaging and Delivery: Came a day earlier than expected. Packaging was good. Transportation was also good as there was no sort of damage on the internal or the external packaging. Kudos to desertcart on that! The box contents were: The keyboard The detachable USB Cable User Manual A Warranty Card A Welcome Card from HyperX With that out of the way lets move on to the juicy part! I am using the Hyper X Alloy Origins(Aqua Switches) to the write the review. Keys: I have been using the cherry mx brown switches since I'm not a big fan of the linear red or the clicky blues. And honestly I must admit that the these switches are bit smoother than the mx brown. I don't know what magic HyperX has done but whatever it is I like it. Sound: I like how the keys sound, its music to the ears. I'm disappointed on how the space bar and the backspace sound. Its not that bad but yeah it's like a noise to the music these switches produce. The backspace isn't that bad but there is a lot spring ping sound from the space bar. You'll get used to it I guess. I'll tell you about whether I got used to it or not when I update this review. Apart from the space bar the keys are not obnoxiously loud like the MX blues, no one is gonna complaint about you typing or playing games on this keyboard, but they may complain about the space bar XD Keyboard: The keyboard footprint is slim profile. Minimal Bezels so if you have a tight workspace/gamespace like me, then this keyboard is gonna be a big fit. I have the full layout version, the TKL will save you even more space. There is a 65% version of this keyboard out there but unfortunately not in India. The keyboard has two inclination legs. Do you need a wrist rest? Not really unless you type for long hours. But even so they keycaps are not that high so as to make buying a wrist rest mandatory. The keyboard is adequately heavy giving it the premium feel. There is no flex when in the normal or any of the two inclination angles. The USB cable exits from the right and there are no other routing options so keep that in mind. Keycaps: So far the keycaps have not picked up any oil or fingerprint. The texture is smooth and soft to touch. Only time will tell how these hold up, but even so I'm guessing it will last a long time before you have to actually replace them. RGB(Everyone's favorite topic I guess, well almost everyone): Per-Key RGB with the option to customize however you want. There are three levels of brightness excluding the off option. The lights are bright as you can see in the image when compared to the full brightness on my laptop keyboard. The light shines through the FN options as well so you dont have to worry about that being a problem at night. There are three presets available on this keyboard which you can customize any way you want. The Ngenuity software: So the reviews on Youtube state that you need to keep the software running in order to keep your lighting setting running, since then HyperX has updated their software. Yes it is still only available on the Microsoft store, but the days where you had to keep the software running to light the keyboard the way you want are long gone. You can customize your keyboard whatever way you want and then the software has an option to save to keyboard which as it says allows you to save your profiles to the keyboard. Once its saved you can exit out of the software and the lighting you chose will still work. As a matter of fact the purple color shown in the images doesn't have the software running in the background. Gaming: I only played Destiny 2 with this just for 10 mins and I enjoyed it. The switches are not gonna be a bother to you in any way. Conclusion: Its a great keyboard and if you can find it on sale like I did for 7300 Rs. Its a steal. If you are new to mechanical keyboards and wants to try one, if you have the money I would definitely recommend this over any other in the this price segment. Though this keyboard does have a rival of sorts (Keychron K2 V2), it also comes for the same price tag of around 7200Rs and its wireless (can be used as wired too). It has its own use cases depending on what you use it for(mac users are gonna love that thing). I'll update this review as time passes or I find some cons. As for now I cant really find any cons So yeah thats my review for the HyperX Alloy Origins (Aqua Switches). If you found it useful, consider leaving a like. TYPE Awayyyyyyyyyyyy
Review: Surpassed my expectations! - Would like to clear some misconceptions about this keyboard that made me anxious while purchasing: 1. For long term use, PBT keycaps are obviously more preferrable; but in the product image, the PBT variant looks like it has a very coarse texture. Does it actually look that bad? - I purchased the PBT keycap variant and I was pleasantly surprised by its appearance. The PBT keycaps look very different in real life than on camera. They have a beautiful stone-like finish with a subtle glittery look (not too shiny). In my opinion it looks better than the ABS variant, but I am unable to capture that look on camera. You'll have to see it for yourself. 2. Is the RGB customization software bad/limited? - I saw a lot of people complaining about this online but after installing HyperX Ingenuity, I can say that as of 2025, the RGB is very customizable and can achieve almost any look that you want. It's just that setting up the profiles in the software is not very intuitive. But it's just a one-time inconvenience that you can figure out in a few minutes. Now coming to the points that most reviews already mention: 1. Build quality is solid as they say. This is perhaps the only keyboard in this price range whose entire body is metallic (front and back) - feels very premium, heavy and durable compared to the ones with plastic backs. It is also nice that it has a detachable cable that can be replaced if it gets damaged after few years. 2. RGB looks beautiful and the animations are also very smooth. Only drawback is that the red color of the switches is slightly visible at the bottom so it might add some unwanted tint to the colors you select. 3. The keys sound good enough, but if sound is your only priority then I think you can find better options in this price range. But they would mostly be plastic as sound profile is also affected by the body material.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Mechanical Keyboard I've every used
*by P***R on 1 March 2023*

Well I only used this mechanical keyboard so checks out. The build is 10/10 and Nguenity Software can actually customize every single key and keybindings. I am using this keyboard for past 3 months and i dont have any complains. There are still minor issues like: - very sensitive keys so pressed accidentally. - included usb c was bad and stopped working(i had good quality spare c cable) Pros: - best key sounds(smooth and clicky) - solid build quality - everything is customisable I brought it for the cheapest price back in the day for 5900Rs(6199, plus bank discount) and It arrived after 1.5 months. But if you getting it under 10k, It is worth it.
