I bought one of these with Aqua switches to replace a Realforce 87U that I'd used for many years, it's extremely good for the price. I bought the pudding PBT keycaps with it because I am used to PBT keycaps and prefer them over ABS. I am still a huge fan of Topre switches, I prefer them over any other switch I've ever tried, but for a cheap keyboard this one is hard to beat. Also, media keys work on this without the need for the software. Before buying this I bought the MX Keys and couldn't get it to control my media via iTunes (Apple Music).
I like your show, but why limit yourself to just reviewing mechanical keyboards, review other tech stuff also! Fix the lighting, buy some cheap studiolights , clean up the clutter in the background, it would be a nicer look. Other from that i think you're natural as a host and reviewing and presenting facts, good work (oh i am gonna buy that keyboard btw:)
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thats very good, yea i saw an episode with your new studiolights, looks much better i think you gonna do great, gonna keep watching your show, take care :)
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Well I've heard you can get it directly from their store , although then again it might've been some other brand. You could also try Amazon, Ebay and PCCASEGEAR. They might have it. Regardless, top notch videos for such low subs, keep it up.
I ordered one! with some PBS keycaps from banggood that are literally just OEM double shots pudding style :D i love a keyboard that doubles up as a personal defense weapon delivering crush damage
Enthusiast keyboards have gotten out of control. As a lifelong engineer, I’m done building custom PC stuff and just want to walk into a store and pick a keyboard from the shelf. I walked into thinking I’d want a GMMK, and of all the ones I looked at, I really like the Das Keyboard 4 Professional, and the real sleeper was the HyperX Alloy Origins. That aqua switch, even two years later, is really nice.
I'm going to get this keyboard after watching your review. I'm debating whether or not to get this with the Hyper X Red or Blue. I do some casual gaming on it. Thanks again.
Nice review! I got this with the aqua switches. As a beginner with mechanical keyboards, I found the feel of the aqua switches better than the reds, also loved the weight and overall build quality
I picked hyperx origins 60 over this after watching it. I figured keys and frame are all the same just that it is smaller version of it. Imo one of the best keyboard i have ever used.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial no problem, you have really good quality videos you deserve more :) one thing you could do in your videos is put a background music that would lighten up your videos :) And yes, the keyboard sounds great, i'm gonna buy it soon :)
@@SwitchandClickOfficial yeah sometimes it does a bit. But it depends on the tracks that you use and maybe you could keep it with low volume compared to the vocal audio. Just wanted to help :)
I got this one "used" for 50 bucks, and it was basically brand new. Quite interested in modding it, but there are no guides, so I might have to just figure it out myself.
With so many new keyboard with majority of them are now hotswappable like from Keychron, Royal Kludge, Tecware, etc.. Is this keyboard still a good purchase? I'm kinda eye-ing the Aqua switch variant but should I just go for the modular keyboard like Tecware phantom 87 or Royal Kludge RK87?
Hi there !!! Awesome yt channel, one of the best channel about mech keyboards I've seen so far... Question: HyperX Alloy Origins Core or Durgod K320 ? And why? I'm interested in switching my Alloy Origins Core over the Durgod. What you think?
I am on the fence when it comes to buying this. I have heard it's a great starter mechanical keyboard, and I am a big fan of the small form factor of Tenkeyless boards. However, this wouldn't be my first mechanical keyboard. I already bought a Corsair K70 a few years ago. It's old and the Cherry MX Blues are a bit too loud. Do you still recommend this keyboard? Is there maybe another keyboard out there possibly in a 70 or 60% form factor that has as much RGB control as this? I would appreciate a point in the right direction. Thank you!
If you want good RGB in a 60% form factor you got the Ducky One 2 SF, much higher quality than any gaming brand will ofer you. If you really want a mainstream gaming brand, then you can also get a Razer Huntsman mini or a Razer Huntsman TE (but search for a sound demo before buying them cause not many like how they sound). Then there is the Logitech Pro X TKL. I've been using a HyperX Alloy Origins Core with linear red switches for a year now, and have many other keyboards too. I stick with this one for just gaming, it's rock solid, switches are fast, looks clean, and feels much better than the plasticky razer and corsair keyboards. I noticed though that it has slightly bent after a year of intense use, cause it's mostly all metal. But really, if you want a GOOD mechanical keyboard, don't even think about gaming brands. Look for a varmilo moonlight, a miya pro, a ducky one, cause most mainstream gaming brands kinda suck.
I am very new to mechanical keyboard landscape..so can the keycaps of this keyboard be switched to better keycaps of other brand?? And can I manually lube the keys and is it worth the effort??
Are the keycaps similar or the same as the hyperx alloy fps pro keys? I love hyperx products and would like to get a new keyboard however the keycaps on the hyperx fps pro were so bad because I get really sweaty fingers haha and the texture was just awful.
Hi I just got this keyboard after watching your good review. The stabilizers on the backspace key feels bad for me and wobbles a lot compared to other keys with stabilizers. Did u also experience this issue? I even lubed it with superlube without desoldering it but it didn't get much better. Please let me know if there is a fix for it.
Love your review. Actually, im comparing this to the IKBC CD87 and i cannot make my decision. Well, Im not a hardcore gamer, I just need the basic keyboard (I dont need the LED) which is durable and give me good typing feeling. Should I pay more money for this keyboard or IKBC CD87 is enough for me? Thank you
Hi , i got this keyboard and i would like to add custom keycaps, would the keychron keycaps be compatible with the Origins core, if yes which one, k2,k6,k1 etc
What is better quality about this keyboard over a cheaper keyboard - for example that qisan magicforce 68 keyboard? (I know they are two different keeb formfactor but they have a similar design).
Is there any ping from this keyboard, because usually with an aluminum frame/body there tends to be some ping?. On my steelseries apex 7 tkl there is a lot of ping because of the hollow aluminum frame
Don't worry about pinging. My keyboard arrived today and when I was doing a typing test absolutely zero ping was found. The typing experience is great and I highly recommend it. The keys do not sound hollow at all either.
im really late to the video and the keyboard but if you haven't yet can you mod the keyboard like foam mods cause I just bought the keyboard and I wanna make it sound better and I don't have any lube
Hey i was wondering if this keyboard makes a pinging noise, like a ping from the keyboard. If you can respond it would help because I’m planning to get this keyboard and my razer huntsman te have horrible pinging
Hi! Great video! Do you recommend me that keyboard for typing?? in my country i only find it with red switches or blue but i read a lot and the blue is very noise and I will use in my living room, so i don't want bother with the sound.
I have the full size version of this board. Bought it for the game pc, so went with red linear switches. I really like typing on it, so i am now considering buying the aqua tactile version for work pc.
Hey! I just bought this keyboard recently. Already experiencing an issue where multiple keys are being pressed when I press my ‘W’ key only. I even filled out a form regarding this issue so they could email me a reply. Would very much appreciate if you could help me with this :3

As of this comment, this keyboard is $55 at Best Buy. At this price, it's a great deal. Also, the switches are teal/tactile. The software is useless (it wants to update the firmware but can't). Uninstalled!!!
just bought one, the with the aqua switches, I think it's about time my glossy blue black widow retired lol. It still looks great (and I have the box still), the only thing wrong with it is the S key is slightly faded and the spacebar is worn out on the left where I rest my thumb.

Question: HyperX Alloy Origins Core or Durgod K320 ? And why?

Durgod for just awesome sounding everything, but HyperX for RGB (the stabs on it are loud though)
@@SwitchandClickOfficial thank you!!! I might keep both of them then! Haha
