HyperX launches their latest keyboard, the Alloy Origins, to coincide with the retail release of their own custom mechanical switches. Featuring the HyperX Red linear switch, the Alloy Origins RGB keyboard has extensive lighting and functionality in a svelte package, and at an attractive price!

When HyperX first broke away from Kingston, I admittedly was more curious about what the new focus would be than why. The years since have shown the move was good, with HyperX becoming a legitimate brand in the world of not only PC gaming, but eSports in general. Their headsets especially have garnered rave reviews here on TechPowerUp and elsewhere by offering good value for the money. Their mice and keyboards have done so as well, but the latter have not really had as much of an impact. The mechanical keyboard market especially is so competitive that you absolutely need to do a lot more to even get people to notice your products, which is perhaps what HyperX was thinking of when they showed off their own branded switches at Computex this year. It has been a few months since, and we now have the first retail product using these switches in the form of the HyperX Alloy Origins.
