The HyperX Alloy Origins Core is an ultra-compact, sturdy tenkeyless keyboard featuring custom HyperX mechanical switches designed to give gamers the best blend of style, performance, and reliability. These key switches have exposed LEDs for stunning lighting with an actuation force and travel distance elegantly balanced for responsiveness and accuracy. Alloy Origins Core is built with a full aluminum body so it stays rigid and stable when keystrokes are flying, and also features keyboard feet that let you choose from three different tilt levels. Its compact TKL design frees up space for mouse movement in desktop setups where space is at a premium, and it also features a detachable USB-C cable for supreme portability. Customize your lighting, craft macros, and adjust Game Mode with HyperX NGENUITY Software. This powerful, yet easy-to-use program lets you set per-key lighting, layer dazzling lighting effects, and add scores of other personalized touches to your NGENUITY-compatible products.

HyperX mechanical switches

The key switches are custom-designed to be a balance of responsiveness and accuracy, featuring a short travel time and low actuation force. They’re also reliable, rated for 80 million keypresses with no loss of quality.

Full aircraft-grade aluminum body

The aluminum casing keeps the keyboard structurally sound and stable when the action gets intense and the game hangs in the balance; battle after battle, night after night.

Ultra-compact TKL design with detachable USB-C cable

The sleek tenkeyless form factor gives you more space for rapid mouse movements, especially in desktop setups that are too tight for a full-sized keyboard. It also has a detachable cable so it’s easy to take on the go.

RGB backlit keys with radiant lighting effects

HyperX mechanical switches feature an exposed LED for brighter, more luminous RGB lighting.

Advanced customization with HyperX NGENUITY Software

Customize Game Mode, take greater control over lighting effects, and set up your own macros.

Three adjustable keyboard tilt angles

Adjust the two-step keyboard feet for three different angle settings (3°, 7°, or 11°), whichever makes your wrists the most comfortable.

Onboard memory for three profiles

Create your own custom-designed lightshows, save them directly to the keyboard, and take them with you on the go.

Game Mode, 100% anti-ghosting, and N-key rollover

Ensure that all your keypresses register and that you’re not accidentally taking yourself out of the game in key moments.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Amazing TKL Keyboard So far this keyboard is hands down the nicest one I've ever owned. I never dreamed of paying upwards of $100 for a PC keyboard. That being said, this one was discounted to around $85 when I bought it, and I had around $65 of HP Rewards that I was having a hard time finding a use for, so that brought the grand total down to just over $20. Worth every penny. It's heavy and very well-built compared to plastic cheap keyboards, the body made from aluminum instead. The TKL layout eliminated the right-hand side numeric keyboard portion of a typical keyboard that I never used as a gamer, saving space on my desk. The lighting is the only possible drawback. It's beautiful, but it has five brightness settings, and they go from off to bright to much brighter. There really is no dimly lit setting. The lowest setting matches the brightness of my mouse, so personally it worked. I fervently hope the keys last the test of time and/or can be replaced if they stop working, would love to keep this around for years to come. Thanks HP!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Woody23 from Not a Gamer. Just need a good solid backlit keyboard Plagued by Microsoft ergometric keyboards wireless that caused my HP laptop computer to add multiple z, t or commas or delete text unendingly I chose to abandon MS KB and buy the HyperX with a USB cable. No longer have problems and can type in low light. chose the one with red keys - easy action - seems very solid. Small enough that I can put in my back pack and take it to work too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bwagner23 from Great keyboard and cheaper than competitors. Seems very well made and types better than my corsair k95 platinum, which is a much more expensive keyboard. Definitely a HyperX fan now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Amazing Quality The product was very easy to connect to my computer and to set up the backlight on the keys. The included instructions were very helpful with this. The keyboard feels like really good quality as well due to its metal backing, and the keys feel satisfying to push. The absence of the numeric keypad is helpful in keeping the keyboard lightweight and sleek feeling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Savingjudy95 from Great colors I received this keyboard to test and really fell in love with it. It gets the mood set to play with its awesome colors. It is also very sturdy and non cheap looking. Its a great investment if you are a professional gamer or just a game fanatic like me. Def will keep using it. Its great for everyday use too and super easy to plug in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mikaerene from Stunning! This is such a stunning keyboard! The lights are an added touch. This keyboard feels super sturdy and high quality, it’s not cheap! The keys feel wonderful, and have that nice clicking noise when typing. This keyboard also has an adjustable angle that added another level of customizable comfort! I would highly recommend this!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bry187 from Awesome keyboard The hyperX alloy origins core keyboard is super simple and has a sleek design and compact. The keyboard has a good amount of weight to it and the frame is aluminum. The letters are smooth and I was able to sit and write a 30 minute essay and my finger tips were comfortable. I also like using the keyboard with my Xbox one. The software for the keyboard is easy to use. I would definitely recommend trying this keyboard I love that it changes colors and it’s super easy to hook up.
