NEW HyperX Alloy Origins 60 Review: TOPO The Mornin To Ya (I'm Sorry)

HyperX Finally adds a 60% to the Alloy Origins line. They get a LOT right here but I'm really curious to see if there's still a market for a pre-built standard 60%

I see you are a man o culture as well

[@Triannosaurus]

Both are pretty much the same, if you want something cheaper but gives you more customization, get the gk61. It’s hotswap so you can change out the switches to any switch you want at any time. It’s only like $60 aswell....

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

@@Triannosaurus well the MIYA has a very good design where the PCB and plate don't use any screws, it is just hold together by the two parts of the case that clips into each other. It has built in sound dampening foam too, pretty great typing experience for the price

[@GolfJulietBravo]

Spend the extra $10 and get yourself a GMMK Compact. Or buy a barebones GMMK Compact for $59.99. It gives you the option to upgrade your stabs and your switches as you see fit. And for someone like me, it was my gateway into the custom keyboard world. It gives me the freedom of playing around with different lubes and switches. It's a tank.

[@LordPenguinVR]

I was contemplating on getting the 60 or the 65 but I went with the 65 just because of the dedicated arrow keys and the home, delete, page up and page down keys on the right side and not hidden under a second layer with the function key. I use the arrow keys a lot when I do work in Photoshop and I do use the delete key al lot too. Overall a really solid keyboard and I love the red escape and spacebar(only if you get the red switches) you get with the 65

[@dekngpasig]

[@royisdabest]

that is a gaming keyboard though, not mainstream if you would argue

[@dekngpasig]

@@royisdabest i mean they marketing as gaming

[@creamypurple]

Dang, glorious gmmk not even in the conversation? That's where I put my money. My 60% is for video games only, I prefer metal boards (I use Shine 7 for main), and the company seems to be a good guy.

[@BassRacerx]

@Male Sensitivity People who share a workspace/cubicle with other shifts and have to haul their gear home to work and back every day. Having a smaller keyboard seems to give you a lot more room on your desk makes less clutter feeling especially if you already have a small desk to begin with.

[@BassRacerx]

@Male Sensitivity not everyone does "data entry" at work. if you work in programming you may not need make giant spreadsheets in excel ect. I just switched to a 10KL keyboard at work and i'm getting used to it. I can see the appeal to a 60% but the arrow keys are the thing thats holding me back and also most 60% i see have the "delete" key in the most random place and you have to hit function to use it. Most laptops are some kind of small form factor keybaord already so if your already used to a laptop keyboard a small form factor keyboard is not that different.

[@revengegaming5696]

@Male Sensitivity I use a 65% as my daily for school, gaming etc... I have a seprate numpad that I can move out of the way and bring closer to me when I need to use it. Makes for alot less space being taken up but still having all the functionality that I need

[@manankataria]

Durgod Venus seems like the best contender around this price point? Correct me if I’m wrong :)

[@amathine440]

I have a ton of custom boards but the venus is extremely well built for the price. at $100, there is literally 0 competition

[@MarbsMusic]

I've had this one for a while and it's still one of my favorites! I'm currently using my Azoth most of the time but depending on the work day I switch to something even smaller on my main PC. That has been this for a while but recently picked up a Corsair K65 Mini Pro and it's VERY nice. I have the aqua switches in the Origins 60s, and blues in the Azoth (as I do in most of my keyboards) but actually enjoying the optical switches right now... they are so smooth and fast. The mini pro feels completely different than the original K654 mini, at least IMHO. This HyperX Origins 60 still gets my pick for best 60% even being a few years old, FN placement just makes that board if you are coming from a larger one.

[@infoforanything6496]

It’s difficult to decide if I should get this or get the huntsman mini ?

[@matthew_le]

Durgod Venus is a better 60%

[@smoloms]

So i tried fn + 3 + g. but that just lowers the light of my keyboard. And i wonder if there is any way to make it work. please help.

[@DaddyDoee]

glorious gmmk 60% has been my favorite deal so far

[@ryantruong738]

check out the kemove snowfox/shadow. It's a hot swap 60% with the arrow keys already like the hyperx board

[@steelresilience]

$100 to spend? I'd get a bluetooth TKL board with RGB. It makes it super easy to swap between my WFH laptop and my Gaming PC. Right now I have the Royal Kludge RK87 Pro RGB.

[@destroyinghabit2680]

Anyone know where I can get that topo design spacebar? (link plz)

[@mirage7862]

If u looking for a 60% keyboard and spend around 100$ i would pick up the Razer huntsman mini RED SWITCHES 100%. Build quality is way better i.m.o. than Ducky and the red switches are lightning fast. At this point i would like to see a improved version from Steelseries apex pro with a 60% keyboard with omnipoint switches and a 60% Wooting one keyboard with those new analog keys that would be really interested.

[@matheusmazzei4077]

Man, are the Drop Dan Clark Aeon X Open still your main daily headphone? im between buying these, the Monolith M1570 (the headband is a little bad and have some issues with priority cable, but people say that the sound of the M1570 is even better than the LCD2) and the Hifiman Ananda to listen specially to Epic Soundtracks/Orquestral like Hans Zimmer/Hiroyuki Sawano, watch movies and play immersive games. You said that the Aeon X Open are better than the Sundara, but for this specifically purpose is it still the best? Any recommendation (under $700)?

[@akira8-customkeyboards17]

120€ for poor abs keycaps with no hot swap...... Real price = 60€ like all other gamer brand keyboard.

[@EricRosenfield]

If I have $100 to spend, I'd probably just get a Keychron K6 since it's hot swap, bluetooth, and has arrow keys. Also I think the stabs are better. (Spoiler: I did in fact buy a Keychron K6.)

[@bloba8668]

1:31 «You shouldn't have any issue with custom cable» yeah... I just can't find any single coled cable, that fits in this keyboard. Where did you take this cable??????

[@TheManicGeek]

Around a hundo, I'm going for a 65% if I can. There's one in particular I grabbed from Drop: FLEsports F12 Polia Edition. Not a perfect board but a lot to like, especially when it's hot swap, Bluetooth, and comes with Kailh Polias: really nice tactile switch to compete against the Halo lineup without the obnoxiously heavy springs in the Trues (100g bottom-out, yikes).

[@SeoMoon1155]

for 100$: gk64~ cheap lube with gateron yellows and some 30$ PBT keycaps nothing much you can do there But there are some solid customs for like 50$ on aliexpress lately most of which being polycarbonate but still pretty good

[@travisshopping4821]

Is there room for sound damping material under the PCB inside the case of the Hyperx Alloy Origins 60?

[@BariBone]

2:20, wouldn’t they be OEM profile, not Cherry?

[@marolclips]

I got Apex Pro today for 160 dollars and it's a GODLY good keyboard but it's very different than my first and recent keyboard, I gotta get used to it:D

[@erikvasauez9361]

Mfs are slow to this, they just see how popular 60% are/were but if you know, if you know, then you KNOW that 75% tkl is where it's at (jk I love 60%ish variants a ton) but I guess it's nice knowing these gamery ass companies trying to step their shit up. Still would go with a full custom mech but for those who don't care these will be nice I'm sure

[@christianjaredvalencia]

hey @BadSeed Tech, what do u suggest? Origins 60 or ROG Falchion?

[@polarbear9765]

if i had 100 to spend on a SFF keeb.... i would probably go with a 65% kit for $50 and spend the rest on some cheap gateron yellows and amazon keycaps. You could probably fit some room in there for some krytox 205g0 or 105g0 if you wanted to use tactile switches though good luck with getting some holy pandas in that budget Not sure if i would ever go with a pre-build now i have got in the custom market now though

[@matthewweber4162]

My budget was 100 bucks and I went with the keychron k2. Nothing special, but I had to move my Race3 to another computer, so I needed something new.

[@dumphuk78]

just recently ordered my gk61 diy kit and some holy pandas but ive used multiple boards before like the feker, womier (currently using with gat yellows and a mix of a few holys and nk creams) , white ducky one 2 mini, optical gk61, etc but thats what i just spent a $100 well a little over $100 on was the gk diy kit and another set of holy's...

[@Idea789]

wow the keyboard ping so loud

[@jc57965]

Don't get the hype behind 60% and 65% boards especially around the $100 price point. I didn't want to go that small and was glad a budget option like the GMMK TKL was available. I think it a great beginner board to get into the hobby verse some of the smaller boards that aren't hot swap

[@wolfnthemist]

Do I need another keyboard..? Limited ducky hyperx black collab in cabinet, "Am I a joke to you?"

[@enricodrawe8362]

huntsman mini, absolute minimum requirement, i love it. i have a kbd75 v2 with koala tactile switches, but the razer is still good for the price. 120 euro for the linier one in germany. absolute worth it

[@kOkOpOpS14]

GK64 with black inks and a cheap pbt keycaps set..does it add up? if it doesn't i'd go with gateron yellows..

[@aequoreal3990]

Probably go with a barebones compact gmmk with lubed gateron yellows for a budget linear if I had 100 dollars but I would rather save a bit and pick up some NK creams

[@Meatsweats_o_O]

I have a 60% Ducky one 2 mini. and if I could change one thing about this keyboard it would be the arrow key location. All this and my ducky have different with the primary layout is a switch lower-right ctrl and function key. and doing that allows for that most annoying thing about a 60% go away very quickly. gonna try to get one of those little fella's.

[@Felix-vb3eu]

Hi there, first of all I have to thank you for the very nice review! Love it! Second I am from Germany and I felt totally in love with this keyboard like form the beginning I saw it. I was on HyperX's Website and like u said in the vid they only ship to the US and Canada. Is there any way to get one of these to Germany? I would be very happy to hear from you :D

[@craig527]

same key layout as the cheap gk61. got that for £35 with gateron blacks guess i was lucky? it's been a golden little 60% and has even lived a few drink spills

[@utterkid2]

You should review the Durgod Galaxy75

[@blackcatooow]

you probably never had a look at, and never heard of the kemove snowfox 61 or kemove shadow solid 60% with factory lubed stabs hotswap and is generally good, but software is hellish

[@amythestwarrior]

You never mention the GMMK Compact when comparing 60’s! I personally love mine and it’s built just as solid as this one

[@MrShoniBare]

Hyperx switches, no hotswap and non lubed stabilizers is big no for me

[@zarts1339]

Hello BadSeed, i want to know your opinion, is the Hyperx Alloy origins 60 a great, good, okay, or a bad keyboard?

[@C.S.Conrad]

I'd say Keychron K6 alu hotswap with gat reds and lube, and if I already had the lube and such, I'd buy a sheet of foam and a pack of fresh stabs to stay at the $100 mark.

[@dekngpasig]

non hotswap no factory lubed for 99usd ugly keycaps but its mainstream brand so many people will buy this

I saw a video of someone popping up the stablizers plastic with a tool in order to get inside to lube and the results were good.

[@maggiepalmer8876]

If I had $100 I would make a split keyboard with cheap caps and switches

[@loftithink1477]

I'm a pretty big Ducky fanboi but I think that HyperX has been knocking it out of the park lately with their keyboards. I loved the Ducky X HyperX Collabs and these boards look to distill a lot of what made those boards great into something uniquely HyperX.
