HyperX - Alloy Origins Core TKL Wired Mechanical Tactile Aqua Switch Gaming Keyboard with RGB Back Lighting - Black

Smooth and comfortable experience with his keyboard. A bit of a calming Click. Very light and satisfying With no aggressiveness. Very responsive and the RGB is bright with a handful of pattern options. Very rigid design, made of high quality aluminum with a smooth Matte finish. Mine has been beaten up for over a year now and has obtained a few scratches and dings from backpacks and dropping it, etc. However, functionality remains perfectly unchanged. Only downside is that the key-switchs are soldered to the PCB and aren't hot swapable. So... Without a Micro soldering kit, a steady hand, and loads of patience, you'll Be using the keys it comes with for it's lifetime. Overall, I see no need to replace the keys because they're great and I love this product.

Bought this to replace my old gaming mechanical keyboard. I bought this brand specifically because of both the price and the fact it's a brand that I can trust. HyperX is known for having good value and quality, which this keyboard is a great example of. I picked the aqua switches mainly because it's on sale and readily available, but it's a good switch for both typing and gaming. If you prefer linear switches, go with the red HyperX switches but the aqua switches are still a solid option for those preferring tactile. I used linear switches before and tactile may take some time getting used to yet it in the end, it's a satisfying experience. Sure it comes with ABS keycaps and the stabilizers aren't good, but with a few mods that involve tape, lube, and switching to PBT keycaps. I recommend spending a little on the version with PBT keycaps in stock but if you already got some beforehand, then go with the ABS versions to save a little. Overall, I love this keyboard despite its minor flaws.

I had it for a month so far so good. Build quality is great, and the switches are smooth and reliable, no ghosting, very good lighting. Good size for those with a small desk. Standard bottom layout so you can put your own key caps if you wish, simple straight to the point, Recommended for those who want all the above.
