HyperX has been expanding outwards into the PC gaming peripherals market for a while now. Long before the company was bought out by HP(opens in new tab) it was a go to for things like RAM, and has become known as one of the best gaming headset(opens in new tab) makers around. The brand has also been releasing some very solid keyboard and mouse options in recent years, and just dropped some new additions to this line up.
First up is the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 mechanical gaming keyboard(opens in new tab) retailing at $159 AUD or around $99.99 USD. This is a small keyboard that still sports arrow keys but no number pad, which is often a great choice for gamers looking to save some space.
I'm still running the HyperX Alloy Origins 60 and it's one of my favourite small keyboards to use. It's great quality with nice switches, but a real seller for me over other similar keyboards is the attractive RGB lit space bar with cut outs, which, rudely, looks even cooler in this new version I don't have,
Rather than swirls this has UFOs and planet images, right where they should be, on the space bar. It even has coloured keysets for the space and escape keys depending on the switches you choose. Space on the space bar is definitely the biggest selling point here, though I couldn't find this exact one available in the US just yet. It also doesn't have the ultra bright pudding caps of the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 gaming keyboard(opens in new tab), which might be for the best.
