Model overview based on user reviews
The HyperX Alloy Origins Core Red Switch keyboard is a compact, wired gaming keyboard known for its solid build quality and aluminum structure. It features proprietary HyperX Red linear switches that are smooth and responsive, often compared favorably to Cherry and Gateron switches. Users appreciate the bright RGB lighting and the detachable Type-C cable, which adds convenience. However, some users note that the keycaps are fragile and made of ABS, which could be improved with PBT material. The keyboard's stabilizers are a common point of criticism, as they can be noisy and lack lubrication. Despite these minor issues, the keyboard is generally considered reliable and accurate, making it a good choice for gaming, though some feel it is priced on the higher side. Overall, it is praised for its durability and performance, especially for those who prefer a compact design without a numpad.

Among HyperX keyboards, this is the best model. Among other brands - no, it's not the best. But much better than average. What's great here are the proprietary switches. Similar to Gaterons, smooth, in my opinion cooler than Cherry. And they don't wobble like that. Switches, bright backlighting, decent materials, Type C, Cherry stabs, soundproofing. ABS mouthguards. If they were PBT, that would be awesome. |
Very cool switches (red HyperX), incredibly linear, soft, smooth, in general, reeeally awesome switches, even better than Cherry and Gateron. Very bright and beautiful backlighting. "Skeleton" - this is, of course, subjective, but for me, who likes the "classic" type of structure, it is aesthetically more pleasing than the "classic." However, since I have a long-haired pet (dog) at home, which sheds a lot, the "skeleton" suits me better because it's easy and convenient to clean anything that gets inside. Also, the "skeleton" doesn't disgust me, so that's a plus. Now about the materials used in the keyboard, it's aviation aluminum. The keyboard is monolithic; you cannot bend it in any way. Aluminum is both on top and bottom, making it very heavy (900 grams). When you open the box and take this keyboard in your hands, it feels like a really expensive product. Now about the minuses: 1. Keycaps - the minus of these keycaps is that they are incredibly thin, they are ABS with engraving, but the keycaps are covered with a very pleasant SoftTouch coating (rubberized). In short, the keycaps are poor in execution, but they feel like a bomb to the touch. 2 Stabilizers are a sore point for HyperX; they make noise, and they make a lot of noise. This is essentially also subjective, but still, the keyboard costs 10,000 (without discounts) and is still too expensive. |
I have been using this model for 3 months and I will say that keycaps are not the same as in FPS, FPS Pro. At Origins Core, they are pleasant to the touch, but also fragile, the candles are lubricated here, I liked it. Good RGB lighting, and the form itself is compact. Claims only to fragile keycaps, and then they are pleasant to the touch Cool lighting, oiled candles, candles themselves and pleasant to the touch keycaps Fragile keycaps |
