  Perfect lighting (adjustable), excellent clarity, flawless design & finish (matte), extremely sturdy construction (aluminum). Highly recommended...

  I have had it in my possession for a year and I can say that it is one of the best keyboards I have bought. It is very sturdy, and the keys have a great feel when typing. One small issue I have found is that one key (the "d" key) doesn't pop up as easily, which probably means something has fallen inside. Purchase price: around 90€

  After 4 months of use, I was very satisfied until recently I started hearing the springs in the keyboard quite loudly. Apart from that, it is very sturdy and beautiful in terms of construction, with vibrant LEDs, no complaints. However, the sound of the springs is somewhat annoying...

  Coming from Motospeed CK108 with black switches.
  First of all, in terms of build quality, it feels very sturdy and quite heavy.
  I got the version with aqua switches and because I've been using linear switches for 6 years, the small, almost imperceptible bump makes me feel strange. As for typing, it feels more accurate because you can feel when the switch registers, but for gaming, I haven't decided yet (I've only had it for a day, I will update the review in the future).
  The RGB lighting is very powerful, so much so that I have it on the lowest setting to avoid being bothered when watching movies, etc., and the colors have satisfactory shades.
  The software is mediocre. It has many available settings but also quite a few bugs.
  Of course, after setting up macros assignments, etc., I simply closed it and haven't opened it again. I control all the RGB settings through openrgb and artemis2/aurora.
  It has onboard memory for 3 profiles.
  I would say that the lack of dedicated multimedia keys is a major drawback when spending so much money on a keyboard.
  That's all for now

  Very good keyboard with very good build quality (aluminum!). There are plenty of color combinations without the software, which I did not try. Cleaning is a bit troublesome but it was expected.

  I have been using it for about six months now and I am excited! Personally, I really like the feel of the aqua switches, but that's a matter of preference (these switches are tactile). They are not particularly noisy when pressed and have an immediate response. In my opinion, and considering that it is one of the cheaper high-end keyboards on the market, if you find it for 70-80 €, it is definitely worth it!

  Extra tip: I have also added the pudding keycaps, which personally slightly reduced the quality of the feel (the original ones were a bit nicer to touch), but they do not collect grease from the fingers!

  Good evening to everyone.

  I bought the Hyper X alloy origins (Hyper X Aqua). I have had it for 4 months. Very good keyboard in all aspects. The only issue I encounter is that when I put the PC in sleep mode, there are several times now that after I press, for example, the space bar to enter Windows while the PC is being activated normally, the keyboard seems completely disconnected. None of the buttons work at all! I replaced it with a new one and still the same! Is there anyone else facing a similar issue? I have already done a reset and it didn't help at all.

  UPDATE: In the end, I returned it to the store and got the STEEL SERIES APEX 7 and I am relieved...

  I was looking for a keyboard for 80% typing and 20% gaming. With brown switches: I wanted tactile switches, so the red-type switches didn't suit me, and I didn't want the noise, so the blue-type switches didn't suit me either. I wasn't interested in RGB, maybe just a simple backlight for darkness (I type fast, but not blindly).

  I ended up with the Ducky One 2 Skyline with Cherry MX Brown switches, but the store canceled my order. The Coolermaster CK550 also seemed to be of poor quality.

  So I saw the offer for the HyperX with Aqua switches. I got it for around $75. It's a very heavy keyboard with a solid feel. And indeed, it has great brightness in the RGB. However, the software was not the most user-friendly. It has a quite long and detachable cable (very important), but in the wrong position (on the right instead of the center). But overall, these are minor details for me.

  The feel is exceptional in typing. I type at a different pace compared to the regular Philips (God bless it) mechanical keyboard and the Razer Ornata Chroma of my son. The keys don't "play," and the travel distance is very good. I would have liked the click/tactile feel to be a bit more pronounced. Nevertheless, my hands love it.

  I hope it withstands the test of time in terms of quality.

  EDIT: I'm coming back 1.5 years later. Two issues:

  1) Maybe not very important, but it attracts dust like a magnet and doesn't go away no matter what. I suppose it will go away with a powerful blow, like using a gas station air gun. A regular computer blower doesn't work.

  2) One key (the bottom left CTRL, which I use a lot for typing/navigation) broke internally. The e-shop where it was purchased refused to replace or repair the key. Speaking with HyperX, in less than 10 minutes, my request for replacement was accepted. My surprise cannot be described when I received the package (sent from Poland) and it had not just one, but the WHOLE set of keys!!!!

  In any case, I deduct one star from the five due to the quality of the keys (my son's Razer Ornata Chroma is closing in on 4 years and still no issues...).

  Purchased at 77 euros, it is one of the best purchases one can make for a mechanical keyboard at the moment without having to pay a fortune, and it has features similar to much more expensive keyboards.

  Pros:
  Build quality: The first thing you notice when you hold it in your hands is that it is a very well-built keyboard, with a body entirely made of aluminum. Besides its durability and sturdy feel, it also helps with the way the key backlighting is distributed. Additionally, the cable is detachable and a braided cable is included in the package.
  Key feel and sound: The Aqua switches are ideal for those who want a mechanical keyboard where you can feel when each key is pressed without the sound being bothersome. Also, the force required to press the keys is very low.
  Size: It is exactly what you need if you want a keyboard that won't take up much space on your desk. Of course, it doesn't have dedicated media keys or a wrist rest included in the package, but these are things that anyone buying it already knows.
  Backlighting: The backlighting is strong, uniform, and adjustable both in intensity and style. The characters on the keys are very clear.

  Cons:
  Software: In my case, it doesn't create a big problem, nor do I consider it even a minimal factor that would prevent me from buying this keyboard again. Specifically, it is still in beta and most likely gives a "false" incompatibility message with Gigabyte's RGB Fusion. To apply any setting, I have to first close RGBF, save the settings to one of the keyboard's 3 profiles, and then reactivate RGBF. Overall, it still needs some work, but it is fully functional at its current stage.

  I don't have an opinion yet regarding its cleaning, but judging from its construction and design, there doesn't seem to be any difficulty.

  100% The best value for money keyboard out there. Impeccable build quality. The Hyperx Aqua keys that I got are the smoothest tactile switches I have ever used. The lighting is simply amazing. The only negative is that the cable is on the right side of the keyboard, but that is just a preference. Other than that, it is definitely worth the money.

  Transitioning from the Logitech G413. There is quite a difference between the two keyboards and I believe the extra 30-40 euros that the HyperX costs are completely justified. Completely different feel, not that the Logitech was a bad keyboard but if I could go back in time, I wouldn't hesitate to spend the extra money. With these switches (HyperX aqua), I noticed a significant improvement in typing speed and overall more comfort while typing. The key feel is very nice. I have no complaints about the noise either. Sturdy and heavy construction. As for the software for the functions, they have done a good job there. Plenty of options, colors - patterns - combinations for the RGB and macros, I didn't notice any malfunctions but it can be a bit confusing the first time you explore it.

  P.S. In general, I would recommend accompanying it, if possible, with a wrist rest. The key illumination is really strong, it can blind children, it made a tremendous impression on me. Luckily, you can adjust their intensity from the keyboard and the software.

  Well, the feeling of the keys is divine, very soft, they don't make much noise, they are heavy and don't move from their position while also responding instantly. The lights are very bright and the letters on the keys are visible even without the lights being turned on.

  I bought the model with aqua switches.
  The first thing you will notice is the excellent and sturdy construction.
  100% aluminum chassis, heavy, reminiscent of keyboards twice its price and maybe even better.
  The keys are classic tactile, with a nice feel and low noise.
  Ideal for both gaming and typing. I can say that I have increased my typing speed, while in games the response is immediate and comfortable.
  Of course, if you want it exclusively for gaming, prefer the red switches.
  The lighting is excellent and it also has three memory positions to save your favorite settings without the accompanying software. The cable is removable and covered with synthetic fabric.
  Overall, the feeling you get is that of a sturdy, high-quality keyboard that ensures comfort and speed in its operation.
  As for the drawbacks (which is why I didn't give it 5 stars), it's the software, NGENUITY, which has many problems and shortcomings, but HYPERX states that it is still in beta. How many years should pass, though, for a stable version to be released?
  Also, as time goes by, there is a possibility that some keys may make a spring sound (ping) when they return after being pressed. It doesn't create a functional problem, but it may bother some people. I think it has to do with the way the spring sits inside the key, which is why it doesn't appear in all keys. However, if you search the internet, you will see that many keyboards have it, especially tactile ones.
  In conclusion, it is a keyboard that should normally be worth twice as much, but HyperX kept it at an amazing price by removing some features (e.g. macro keys, USB extension, wrist rest). If you don't really need them (like in my case), then it is a value for money keyboard, perhaps unique in its price range.
  I recommend buying the HyperX wrist rest as well, which I would say is necessary and also very high quality. I bought it together with the keyboard and found that I couldn't do without it.

  The evaluation concerns the keyboard with tactile aqua switches with a purchase price of 89 euros. Amazing build quality, awesome lighting, incredible typing feel. In gaming, at first it seemed strange to me because it has a smaller surface area on the keys compared to most keyboards, but I got used to it immediately on the first day and now I see it as a very positive aspect because it doesn't leave room for pressing the wrong key and they probably wanted to achieve that, and they did! Okay, I will mention the build quality again because it is out of this world. I have never seen such a high-quality keyboard in any price category. If you have the money, I would tell you not to look elsewhere, you are here and buy it without a second thought, it's worth its money, and maybe even double!!!

  I bought this with the aqua switches (tactile). AMAZING!!!
  Very sturdy construction.
  AWESOME typing feel (good for typing).
  INCREDIBLE lighting.
  Very good price.
  I didn't find the software to be terrible like some people on YouTube mention. It's fine.

  Impeccable in everything!

  I have used many keyboards from Razer, Logitech, and HyperX, but this one is the best.

  - Amazing build quality, all metal, relatively lightweight without easily moving on the desk.
  - The HyperX switches have a very nice feel, even nicer than Cherry, Razer, and Romer G.
  - Comes with a Type C cable.
  - Extremely powerful backlighting, the first time I see such intensity on a keyboard.
  - The software is not the best, but it gets the job done. You can save colors and macros on the keyboard, no need for it to be open.
  - The only negative thing I found is regarding the backlighting. Because the housing of the switches is transparent, when you use colors like white, it shows from the inside and the switch appears red.

  I also tried using PBT keycaps from Razer, they work perfectly fine without even needing stabilizers
