Key Specifications & Highlights
This keyboard features HyperX Red linear switches with an actuation point of approximately 1.8 mm and an operating force around 45 g. It includes high-quality double-shot PBT keycaps with side-printing for long-term legibility and resistance to wear. The chassis is built from aircraft-grade aluminum for structural rigidity and stability during intense use. Each key supports full RGB lighting (16.7 million colors) with customizable effects and per-key illumination. The keyboard connects via a detachable braided USB-C to USB-A cable for reliable wired performance and portability. It supports full N-key rollover and 100% anti-ghosting, and is compatible with Windows (via HyperX NGENUITY software) as well as major consoles for cross-platform use.

Performance Summary
In real-world use and trusted reviews, the Alloy Origins PBT with HX Red switches is praised for its smooth, consistent keypresses and fast actuation—well-suited for gaming where quick inputs matter. The aluminum body adds a premium feel and reduces flex, contributing to a more stable typing experience. Reviewers also highlight the durability boost from PBT keycaps, which feel more solid and resist shine over time compared to typical ABS caps. Some users note that the keyboard lacks dedicated media controls and wireless connectivity, but for a wired performance-focused board in this category the trade-offs are reasonable.

It’s particularly suited for setups where both gaming and typing tasks are common, thanks to the smooth switch action and strong build quality.
