Really good video, you covered everything! I was searching for a nice beginner mechanical keyboard with RGB and found this one! I searched it up and your video came up, and so I watched it. Wow. I was not dissapointed, and I believe this is gonna be the keyboard I'm gonna get if and when I do! Thanks.
One thing missing, usb passthrough :'( still this might be on top of my keyboard list at the moment. edit: 14:57 ok I'm sold. It's in my basket ready for checkout... can't wait to smell it.
Lol! That smell - it really did strike me when I opened it up. And that "hadoken" lighting is way cool. My favorite effect while play Street Fighter type games. If you ordered it, I hope you like it!
Personally I don't care for RGB. What I like about that keyboard is the fact that it has an all aluminium case. The model before was already built like a tank, and this one might be even better with those switches.
@@MrClassicmetal I think they made even more refinements around the metal (kinda like an Airstream RV maybe.) It feels/looks more aerodynamic when you feel the housing with your fingers. I like the housing a lot.
OMG MAAN THANK YOU SO MUCH FN F12 SAVED ME, I DIDDEN T KNEW WHY MY WINDOWS KEYBOARD BUTTON WAS NOT WORKING BUT BECAUSE OF U KNOW I KNOW MY KEYBOARD IS NOT BROKEN
First of all, awesome video! One of the only detailed videos about this keyboard. Second, I'm a programmer and I'm typing alot and I was leaning towards the red switches, but I've heard that the aqua is better for typing, what do you say?
Thanks, I appreciate it! About the switches, personally I think the reds are a bit "too fast" if you do a lot of typing. I'm comp sci by training so I used to type fast - but I find myself using the backspace more often with red switches in general. It's like you have to think about the letters as you type them in because you have to do it in sequence and the feedback isn't really there. The tactile switches gives your fingers a chance to "feel" feedback, therefore less thought required. I hope this thought helps you somehow.
helo , i appreciate your video and i would like to know if for the game mode can it ok for playing in game mode for ps4 and ps5 pls , specially for tekken games and other fighting games because im goin to purchase one soon , thks for the feed back sir ^^
Yesterday I bought hyperx origins core I have to send it back. The cctr key stings my palm in left down corner when I type in game verry annoying..before I had chroma TE v1 that 5 cm of palmrest was enough ,overall good quailty and red switches ar amazing.
Can I swap the keycaps with offbrands ones that don't specify hyper X? So do the switches have the same socket as MX reds? Sorry I am new to fancy keyboards
Thanks! I've noticed that HyperX always makes improvements with newer products, so I'd probably go with the Alloy Origins. Having said that, the Alloy FPS RGB is $35 cheaper right now ($75 vs $110, maybe because it's Black Friday/Cyber Monday) so it's also a great buy. The switch is different (Kailh Silver) if that matters to you. I haven't used it so I can't tell you much about it though.
@@FirstL00k thanks for reply,i bought hyperx alloy FPS RGB edition with Silver switches,first 2-3 days were really sloppy and i couldnt really play at my best,but after 3-4 days i got use to it and now its working really good!
The HyperX switches apparently use the same keycaps as Cherry. Since they already made keyboards with Cherry switches (before they came out with their own), it was probably the easiest (and cheapest) way to do it.
I really like how the keys feel on the Origins. But when I think about why, it probably has to do with how the aluminum housing is matched with the key switches. To make a point, imagine tapping a hollow Ikea table vs a solid oak one; the oak table just feels more solid, and just that much more satisfactory. Functionally, there's probably not that much of a difference. It's just what my fingers are saying to me, and it's different from other people's fingers, I'm sure. :-)
They work almost the same way. It's probably a question of cost - HyperX now makes their own switches that are as good (or better); no reason to buy them from Cherry.
They both offer excellent performance; either one are a good choice. For now, I'd say go with your favorite brand/keyboard design and look for a good price. I really like the design and feel of this board (and smell!), so these are the selling points for me. Over time, we'll see how good the switch's long-term reliability is, but it's too new a product for anyone to be able to tell.
@@FirstL00k that keyboard is so sweet but software need Windows 10 and my PC is for Windows 7 that’s why I can’t dowload the software you have very good content keep continue 😊
I can't help it if I like it. Every keytap just feels really good and solid. The only thing that'd make it better is a physical volume scroller like the Alloy Elite. But this is supposed to have a smaller footprint... can't have everything.
@@FirstL00k yes, never use the keyboard numpad, i like HyperX Alloy FPS PRO or Corsair K63, it all comes down to user preference and there are a lot of options out there
My friend, for a person who makes zero videos, you really like telling people what to do, don't you? Tell you what... you can make your own videos and stay silent if you want. And I'll make my videos the way I want. I think that's a fair deal - you should take it.
@@FirstL00k I heard how the switches sound even though he was talking perfectly. I really liked the whole review as well. Just a tip for you @FirstL00k, if you want to be successful, you shouldn't react this cocky, how you just did. Everyone has their own opinion and you better should accept constructive criticism.
@@FirstL00k My dear iphone collector, im telling that from perspective of people who watch your videos. if you can not accept adequate criticism thats only your problem

A keyboard review with a smell test... outstanding!!!
Lol, thanks!
Best comment on here lol I agree also hahaha :) great review!
Lets be honest, we all smelling our new devices))) and this is the best unboxing part ^_^
best part ever
This is the most in depth review i've watched for this keyboard . Underrated!
Thanks very much, I really appreciate it!
Me: *looks for good keyboard review*
*clicks on video*
*starts smelling keyboard*
If a keyboard isn't good for sniffing, it's good for nothing.
Really informative and in-depth review, thanks sir !
Thanks, much appreciated!
i was deciding between this keyboard or another but since it smells good im definitely going for this one
Hahaha, it's really a great keyboard - I love tapping on it (and also like the new smell!)
Great video, it's rare to a reviewer show all the experience of the product to a viewer.
Thanks! It takes longer than an unboxing, but I think it's great to show as much of the product as possible (both good and bad).
Just ordered one on sale thanks to this review, great video
Thanks a lot! I hope you enjoy this keyboard!
You explained everything so smoothly. Great video!
Really good video, you covered everything! I was searching for a nice beginner mechanical keyboard with RGB and found this one! I searched it up and your video came up, and so I watched it.
Wow. I was not dissapointed, and I believe this is gonna be the keyboard I'm gonna get if and when I do! Thanks.
You're welcome! It's a really nice keyboard, I like it a lot. When you get your gaming board, you'll see the difference for yourself too!
Awesome video. Very informative and fun to watch!
Thanks a lot, much appreciated!
Holy sh** when I looked at his start menu!
That´s a lot of programs.
I'm surprised you noticed, it was only open for a few seconds, lol!
I really love your enthusiasm :>
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
How can 8 ppl dislike this. THIS IS THE BEST REVIEW VID EVER.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
your review was original, insightful and fantastic, thanks and best wishes
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! :)
Great video, I just purchased the keyboard!
Awesome, I hope you like using it as much as I do!
how does the keyboard perform?
underrated review.
Incredible review. Bravo!
Thanks very much, I appreciate it!
One thing missing, usb passthrough :'( still this might be on top of my keyboard list at the moment.
edit: 14:57 ok I'm sold. It's in my basket ready for checkout... can't wait to smell it.
The Alloy FPS RGB has a passthrough. Just not the Alloy Origins! :)
Lol! That smell - it really did strike me when I opened it up. And that "hadoken" lighting is way cool. My favorite effect while play Street Fighter type games. If you ordered it, I hope you like it!
@@kennyL that's too big for my desk though. Oh wait the bigger one is the FPS pro?
Great Video!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
True HyperX is improving, i find it hard to improve from the HyperX Alloy FPS besides adding RGB.
You're right. How much more can you improve on an already good keyboard?
@@FirstL00k software
@@GingGongg oh yes, they ALL can improve on the software. And be better at programming them too - the filesizes are ridiculously large.
Personally I don't care for RGB. What I like about that keyboard is the fact that it has an all aluminium case. The model before was already built like a tank, and this one might be even better with those switches.

This is called review 😎 Great man
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it!
Wow, I *really* need to learn how to touch-type.
The software can be downloaded via the App Store in Windows 10 xD
but it was suposed to redirect him straight to the app...
helo , i appreciate your video and i would like to know if for the game mode can it ok for playing in game mode for ps4 and ps5 pls , specially for tekken games and other fighting games because im goin to purchase one soon , thks for the feed back sir ^^

For the typing sound test, was this using the reds ? Or aquas? I'm thinking of buying but do not want something too noisy like cherry blues
The keyboard I used had HyperX red switches.
uhh you didn't really talk about the blue switches!
the "ooooo" he made is it for me
Amazing quality
Can I swap the keycaps with offbrands ones that don't specify hyper X? So do the switches have the same socket as MX reds? Sorry I am new to fancy keyboards
I think the switch sizes are similar. The caps HyperX sells work with cherry MX switches, so the opposite probably works too.
I got the linear reds version and i love it
Awesome man, glad you like it!
@@FirstL00k though it takes a bit time to get used to it than any other keyboards I've used before 😅
I heard someone got zapped using this keyboard if I buy it will yeh same happen to me?
Got this one the other day and its pretty good,my came with few extra keys and key puller also. Their software is still meh.
Nice review, would you take this keyboard or Alloy fps Rgb?
Thanks! I've noticed that HyperX always makes improvements with newer products, so I'd probably go with the Alloy Origins.

@@FirstL00k Well said! I'm sold
I might have missed it but are these switches hyperx reds or aquas?
This particular keyboard had the Hyperx reds.
Do u know when the aqua switch is coming out?
They're saying first quarter of 2020 - so next year at some point between January - March.
FirstL00k what about the clicky ones?
Made a unboxing myself, gotta include that smell test
Lol, if you smell it, tell it! :)
@@FirstL00k haha, thanks for replying
@@thoompie-14 and yes, you DO have a mouse! :) That's a nice overhead shot of your keyboard, by the way.
@@FirstL00k thanks, it's pretty rushed and i couldn't find a tripod haga
This is just a modified MX Red, they are only transparent.
Carlos what do you mean hyperX made their own switch it’s not a cherry mx red
How did you manage to sound like Linus at the start lol
Haha, someone mentioned that on another video and I thought "who's Linus?" (they set me straight on that one... :-)
What is the difference between the linear red and the cherry mx red?
They work almost the same way. It's probably a question of cost - HyperX now makes their own switches that are as good (or better); no reason to buy them from Cherry.

@@juanpisld2224 You're welcome buddy!
I buy this it was pretty good
Does it have double shot keycaps?
It doesn't come with them, you have to pick them up separately.
Nice video..
Thanks, much appreciated!
I'm here for the smell test
Lol! Come smell with us!
@@FirstL00k I ordered my own. Came in today. I did a smell test as well. Video on my channel soon as well :)
Great review.
thanks!
your great men.
Thanks buddy, appreciate it!
Nice!, Could you install the software later?
Yes indeed! The keyboard will work fine without software and you can always install it at any time.
how do i turn on game mode?
To turn game mode on/off, hold Function [FN] and press [F12]. The [FN] key is two keys right of the spacebar.
Imma lose so many matches course I'm looking at my keyboard
Lol!
Subbed bc you smelled your keyboard.
Ahaha, thanks! :)
Thanks you help me so much
To chose the Hyperx keyboard but that program is sh**
It's a great keyboard, I hope you like it! Is the software that bad? I still haven't installed it so I don't know.
@@FirstL00k that keyboard is so sweet but software need Windows 10 and my PC is for Windows 7 that’s why I can’t dowload the software you have very good content keep continue 😊
i wish i bought this keyboard instead of corsair k63
You can aimbot this
Hot swappable???
You look like a asian dad with good english accent. Lol
Lol! Not a dad at this point, but maybe one day? :)
It feels like its just a big ad
I can't help it if I like it. Every keytap just feels really good and solid. The only thing that'd make it better is a physical volume scroller like the Alloy Elite. But this is supposed to have a smaller footprint... can't have everything.
Can nobody show how to actually setup rgb it’s really annoying
nice keyboard, but I hate the numeric keypad
Ah, you prefer the super compact ones like the tenkeyless boards?
@@FirstL00k yes, never use the keyboard numpad, i like HyperX Alloy FPS PRO or Corsair K63,
it all comes down to user preference and there are a lot of options out there

I love the numpads 😂 I will buy this one
