The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is a 60% version of the Alloy Origins.
Robust 60 Percent Keyboard
Having a width below 12 inches (30 cm), the Hyper X Alloy Origins 60 is clearly small and compact. However, thanks to big rubber pads in each corner, the keyboard still provides great stability. It has two flip-out feet per side, so that the keyboard’s angle can be adjusted to three different levels.
The keyboard is tuned for longevity, featuring an aluminum body and durable double-shot PBT keycaps. Just like the standard version, the Alloy Origins 60 also offers flexible RGB lighting, n-key rollover, on-board memory and a detachable USB type C cable. It also features the linear Hyper-X Red Switch. Other switch options are, at least for now, not available. The box contents further include a keycap puller and special keycaps for the space bar and the ESC key.
HyperX Alloy Origins 65
In 2022, the manufacturer added another small keyboard to the Alloy Origins series. The so called HyperX Alloy Origins 65 has still a very compact form factor (65%) while offering a navigation block including arrow keys. It provides a great tradeoff between size and comfort. As for the rest, the keyboard is pretty similar to the smaller Alloy Origins 60.
