Smaller doesn’t mean less effective
The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is a compact mechanical keyboard that brings the strengths of the original Alloy Origins to a smaller body. It features HyperX's proprietary Red linear switches, simple design, and useful configuration software, making it a solid pick for gamers and typists alike.
+ pros
  • The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is a compact and maneuverable keyboard that is easy to tilt for ergonomic use during PC gaming.
  • The keyboard features HyperX's proprietary Red linear switches, which offer a unique and balanced typing experience suitable for both gaming and typing.
  • The keyboard comes with an alternate spacebar and letter-size keycap that are made with ABS and add an aesthetic upgrade to the keyboard.
- cons
  • The keyboard's aluminum base panel is heavier than average, which can be a blessing or a curse depending on the user's style.
  • The Ngenuity configuration app, while reliable, still has some areas where it can be confusing or hard to follow, such as switching among many profiles and keeping track of which ones are in the keyboard's onboard memory.
  • The keyboard's price of $99.99 is not significantly cheaper than competing keyboards in the same range, but it is still a solid pick overall.

The Best Tiny Keyboard for Gaming on the Go
The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is a sleek and portable 60% keyboard with a beautiful aluminum body, bright RGB lighting, and high-quality keycaps. While the software is lacking and the USB-C port is restrictive, it's an unbeatable bargain at just $100 and the best option for a 60% keyboard from a major supplier.
+ pros
  • Gorgeous metal case that is both portable and durable.
  • Bright and even RGB lighting that looks fantastic.
  • Intelligent 60% layout that is easy to adjust to.
  • Competitive price compared to other 60% boards from similar gaming manufacturers.
- cons
  • Lackluster software that is limited in options.
  • Design of detachable USB-C cable could be better and is restrictive.
  • No option to swap out switches, which is becoming a standard for mechanical boards.
  • FN button cannot be moved, which may be inconvenient for some users.
