The company has twisted the red design and cut off the travel distance and actuation point down to 3.8mm and 1.8mm respectively. That’s 0.2mm lower than a standard Cherry MX red switch. Moreover, it is a full-sized keyboard installed nicely in a trim aluminum frame, and it’s pictured here with HyperX’s “black pudding” translucent keycaps. You can get the keyboard with more demure black caps if you wanted as its entirely depends on your choice.
The Alloy Origins would become available for sale in the third quarter of this year for $109.99. It is the same price as HyperX’s similar Alloy FPS RGB. There are many good gaming keyboards present in the market and it is quite difficult for some gaming enthusiast to turn onto a new product. HyperX keyboard’s button felt snappy because of the red switches somehow, but it should not make the whole product not worth to try.
