HyperX Alloy Origins Core: Your Next TKL Keyboard?

[@germanrojo2259]

I’ve had this keyboard for about 2 months and it’s been the best keyboard I’ve ever had. Their own switches are great and responsive. Great quality overall, I recommend switching to the pudding keycaps!

These days, whenever a company uses their "own" switches or cherry I don't mind anymore since they're basically the same. As long as they last long and won't have keychatter in a few months then I'm fine.

The HyperX switches are smoother than the cherry Mx switches. Also, for professional gaming that small actuation distance can make a bit of a difference, where every millisecond matters.

Either this or the razer huntsman te are probably the best keyboards I've seen recently

[@pinkrush6768]

Sxyrox FC The huntsman te have pinging sounds, bad rattle and you can’t lube it. The hyperx red is smooth, not sure if there’s any pinging but I’m planning to get the keyboard since my huntsman te have bad pining. You can easily replace the hyperx alloy origin keycaps with some double shot pbt keycaps for like $25 on amazon. You can lube the stabilizer some way pretty sure. If I was you, I would pick the hyperx alloy origin core. If you have high ping like 70-100 the razer huntsman te is useless.

I have this keyboard for about a month now and is amazing. I have lubed the stabs and installed pbt keycaps with o-rings. While gaming this is basically silent. Typing is also great. Can't find any faults with this keyboard except that I want now a 60%.

[@ergon237]

How do you install the o-orings? I'm planning to but the kb as well as the hyperx pudding keycaps. So will the o-rings fit those keycaps?

[@rsndetre1]

@@ergon237 Is very easy to do. Take the KEYCAP and before putting it on the switch roll the o-ring on the stem. You don't have to roll/put it all the way inside the cap cavity, it will get into position after 1-2 keystrokes. Pudding keycaps are the same as normal keycaps just that are shine through (you can see the light from the leds shinning through them). Btw, if you are from Bulgaria, you guys have a shop selling o-rings.

[@BrawndoQC]

G.Skill has a pretty nice TKL with reds in white. (KM 360). Razer produce a few of their models in what they call "mercury white" too. Corsair have their white versions as well some models, ducky, and various others I can think of, they are just harder to get but they will become more mainstream as more and more builders to white builds.

[@GiorgiKitia]

Personally, I like their switches more. Since the software is minimizable now there are no complaints. Also, it works better with gigabyte RGB software (which is the worst but I need it for my RGB style) after the update.

[@axroo5068]

Hey if anyone could answer this it would be appreciated... What's the difference between the HyperX Alloy Origins and HyperX Alloy Origins Core? I mean one is TKL but it's the same switches and same everything.

[@blackmennewstyle]

I have this keyboard and whatever the USB slot i am using on my motherboard if i set the luminosity too high for the RGB lighting, the keyboard sometimes stops working, i feel like the current provided by my USB slots is not enough to fully power it.

[@patricknolan1625]

That's a pretty decent keyboard, but I have to agree with you. I'm not entirely sure why they went with their own switches. I'm sure there's a reason, and I'd love to get a little insight into their decision making process, so if you hear from them, let us know. I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on the subject of detachable number pads. I'm spending quite a bit more time working from home now, I find myself in need of a numpad, but I REALLY don't want the bulk ALL the time (my personal preference is a TKL keyboard). As such, I'm looking at two...maybe three scenarios. 1: Just add a standalone numerical pad to my current setup (velocifire tkl02) and call it a day. 2: Find a suitable keyboard that has an integrated, and detachable numpad and put a dent in the ole wallet. 3: Stop being a whiny little b!%(# about it and re-learn how to type numbers "properly". 😁

[@MrFrosty888]

Great vid homie loving the hat

[@MrCapi95]

I think that HyperX is trying to transition to their own switch, like most companies do lately (razer, steelseries, logitech, etc). I don’t know if they still got lots of Cherry MXs in stock or they are just doing a slower transition to see how the market responds to their Cherry clone. One think I know is that, of all switch manufacturers, Cherry is asking for the highest premium (they are the original and manufacturing in Germany isn’t cheap after all). I one or two years they will probably do a complete transition and with more switch flavors available.

[@JayzBeerz]

hyper x switches transmit the RGB light better as they are clear. the cherry mx red's are black.

It depends. The TE has better keycaps and stabilizers but their is a nasty metal ping because of the metal support bar the switch has. The Core has ABS keycaps (can be replaced) and the stabilizers aren’t that great but the HyperX reds feel and sound amazing. I would personally go the the core.

[@pinkrush6768]

olivialifts does the hyperx alloy origin have no ping or ping that isn’t noticeable. My razer huntsman te have bad pinging and I might the hyperx origins core and just replace the keycaps with the razer one on the te

PinkRush I have the origins core with Aqua switches which is the equivalent of a cherry brown. I don’t notice any ping at all in the origins core.
