[@quincy3367]

I love how the Hyper X's feel. From the build quality to the typing/gaming experience with the switches.

[@mgaming7]

i have the Hyper X, just watched to see what you thought of it. I think it's great. easy to type on. love the arrow key placement. Was curious about the razer huntsman as well. I am a bit of a keyboard enthusiast. I have like 8 keyboards right now, for two computers. Glad I went Hyper X. Love it.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

It's a great choice!

[@DomKou]

Is the hyperx load?

[@aduck4720]

@Vertz Not really...They are really quiet but if you slap the key when your pressing its kinda loud

[@iron327]

@RustyGamer which would you say is the best?

[@iron327]

@RustyGamer yeah I just got a Hyperx alloy origins 60 but when I plug it in to my pc it doesn’t turn on or anything…

[@UNDERST0RY]

Really excellent comparison. Thanks! Can you tell me if, on the HyperX Alloy 60, does game mode also turn off the menu key on the right? For me, that is a must have.

[@lucasli9776]

Yes they do have a game mode

[@Daniel-jd3je]

[@KeyMusic15]

Currently the huntsman mini is $100 and the origins 60 is $60 so the origins wins by a landslide quality and price.

[@byatrox]

in Spain huntsman mini is 78€ and hyperx 150€

[@user-qn1zj5bs5p]

It seems hyperx still not yet release Aqua switch for the 60s , so i just got my Tkl version and i also need the f1-f12 button, some of the games still need them.

[@deltaxsingh]

It's out in the US now.

[@kolo7368]

Fantastic video! But I have a question: I have to buy the origins 60, but I have a mac and the software isn't available on mac. So if I use the software on a windows, and after I connect the keyboard on the mac, does it keep the modifications like the colours?

[@blubby3100]

right now theyre working on making the software compatible with Mac :)

I wish hyperx would make optical switches 😕

[@DurdyPurdy420]

Optical switches are a gimmick Making contact metal to metal Vs blocking an optical laser has no benefit If anything the optical switches are more prone to errors due to dust and wear over time and will be more expensive to replace

[@emmanuelosuji6396]

Fr bro cuz then it would be comparable to apex pro mini😢

[@pixelbat]

First off, your voice is dreamy. Second, did they change the Huntsman Mini? I was looking at it at Best Buy today and it had a plastic back, not aluminum or any kind of metal. Also felt light and cheap compared to the HyperX 60%.

[@Zennbtw2316]

No the top plate is only Aluminium nothing else I hope it helped :)

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Good question! Not sure at the moment tbh.

[@NightLordddd]

Hyperx Definitely took notes from Ducky after they did their Collab keyboard. I love the Hyperx boards more than razer myself but imo Ducky makes the best consumer 60% keyboards.

[@adamyasrivastava1364]

Nightlord are you anime fan

[@sivaxi5114]

Ducky isn't the best, they're just most popular one there are a lot of brand that better than ducky

[@NightLordddd]

@@sivaxi5114 Name me a brand better than Duckys quality, because steelseries, logitech, razer, hyperx, and corsair dont compare at all. Similar to Ducky is Varmilo which is really good. Of course I myself built my own keyboard, but I've tried over 10 different brands as well.
