It makes typing so much enjoyable (at least for me).ĭuring gaming, it excels too. Not to mention, I like the loud clicky sound and the fabulous tactile response it offers. I was able to type out this review with very few mistakes. (Photo: Trevor Tan)ĭespite its compact size, the keys are actually nicely spaced out and you will not be pressing two keys at one time. The RGB lighting effects are quite pretty. It is sometimes nice to just sit back and marvel at the beautiful RGB lighting when you are working.
Clicky switches for gaming windows#
These presets can be changed to your liking, for instance changing the direction of the wave lighting effect and which colour appears after another, using the HyperX NGenuity 2 app (only available in the Windows Store). Out of the box, the keyboard comes with three preset lighting effects stored in the keyboard’s internal memory. Not only does this mean it is easier to change the keycaps, you can have a better view of the lighting effects. And so, the Alloy Origins supports per-key RGB lighting with more than 16 million colours.Īnd like many current designs of mechanical keyboards, the key stems are exposed. These days, it cannot be deemed a gaming keyboard if it doesn’t have RGB lighting. Instead, the volume control and other gaming functions like Game Mode (which disables the Window key) are shared with the Function keys. But no such luxuries for the Alloy Origins.
Some keyboards even have a fancy roller wheel for volume control. It also has no space for dedicated macro keys, profile keys or even media keys. + HyperX Blue key switches fantastic to type onĪs the Alloy Origins is quite compact, there is no space for any USB pass-through port. But they are not as durable as PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) keycaps found in higher-end mechanical keyboards.

Unlike the Kailh Whites, Greens have a notable bump when pressed. Their heavy spring weight is not for everyone, but many users have testified that they enjoy them for their typewriter-like operation. Gateron Green : For those seeking a loud and highly tactile experience, try out Gateron Greens. The "box" design gives the switch less stem wobble compared to a traditional MX-style stem. The tactile bump on Whites is negligible, so finger strain will not be a problem for those who fear a heavy bump. They are more similar to linears in their smoothness while retaining the audible click. Kailh Box White : Box Whites are unique in the clicky world. Their tactile resistance is low, allowing you to get the feedback you desire without straining your fingers. They are not too heavy or too light to press, and they produce a medium to high tone when used. Gateron Blues : Blues are always a safe, middle-of-the-road choice.
