But the company has been branching out into keyboards for several years, including creating its own gamer-focused mechanical switches and a notable partnership with Ducky.

It\u2019s also competitive: At just $100 retail for the Red switch option, it\u2019s significantly cheaper than the Hunstman Mini from Razer or the low-profile <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08LX6FFMH\/?tag=reviewgeek-20\">SK622 from Cooler Master<\/a>, currently the only other 60% boards from similar gaming manufacturers.

I also wish it had the option to swap out the switches, fast becoming a standard for mechanical boards. But in terms of build, performance, and price point, the AO60 is a winner.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metal_Will_Never_Die\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_metal\">Metal Will Never Die<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing that struck me when I picked up the AO60 is that it\u2019s easily the most appealing 60% board I\u2019ve seen from a mainstream maker, as a physical object.

It\u2019s a shame about the big FCC sticker right beneath it, but whaddayagonnado. (Next time: Etch that into the case like a phone, please!) If you\u2019re a keyboard nut: This body is nicer than the one on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mechanicalkeyboards.com\/shop\/index.php?l=product_list&amp;c=165\">Vortex Poker 3<\/a>, and that\u2019s saying something.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71572 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/343e7c81e81a30b726434b64be0c4101\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/dd6b03ed.jpg\" alt=\"HyperX Alloy Origins 60 feet, folded, deployed\" width=\"1920\" height=\"761\" data-credittext=\"Michael Crider\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Michael Crider<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Note the feet. Users can keep the feet folded in for a super-sleek profile, which is still stable thanks to four wide pads. Or they can flip the feet out for two different angles: Each one has a sub-foot that adds a bit of adjustability. Combined with a metal top plate, this case is maximizing both portability and utility in great ways.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s just one sour note here: The USB-C port. Situated on the top edge between the 2 and 3 keys, it\u2019s perfectly fine when you use it with the included HyperX cable (which is braided and six feet long, both nice touches). But the bay actually leading to the USB-C port is extremely narrow. Only one out of five of the USB-C cables I have on hand can actually fit in there.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71569 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/118be208a81688582ecf0a09b535c909\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cc789139.jpg\" alt=\"HyperX Alloy Origins 60 USB-C port\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Michael Crider\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The USB-C port for the braided cables is too narrow for most other cables. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Michael Crider<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That means if you want to use it with a longer cable for desktop management, or a C-to-C cable for a newer laptop or tablet, you\u2019re going to have to either get picky or shave down the plastic protective side of the cable. A little more user testing would have caught this. As delivered, it\u2019s a low point in an otherwise excellent physical design.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bright_Lights_Smooth_Switches\"><\/span>Bright Lights, Smooth Switches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>HyperX continues to push its self-branded \u201cclone\u201d switches as superior alternatives to expensive options from Cherry or Gateron. The AO60 is initially offered only in Red linear flavor, which makes sense when you\u2019re pushing for gamers first. I encountered no issues with them, though they have a long travel and a slightly scratchy feel for switches that are supposed to be fast.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71571 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/046bcf83f233e81496007c4b2474d2c8\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6a22a7e0.jpg\" alt=\"HyperX Alloy Origins 60 red switches \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Michael Crider\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Michael Crider<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at how those switches are used in the board. They\u2019re mounted into an all-metal plate, nice, with north-facing LEDs, also nice. But the LEDs deserve special attention: Not only are they mounted in the old style, so they\u2019re directly beneath the keycaps instead of way down into the switch, each one has a wide translucent diffuser. This makes them extremely bright and even, considerably more so than some competing keyboards.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71576 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/99f81af7716bb20540ea2e4f669321f9\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/54be9694.jpg\" alt=\"HyperX Alloy Origins 60 illuminated switches\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Michael Crider\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Michael Crider<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s what all of that means for the user: crazy-bright RGB lighting that looks fantastic. It helps that HyperX didn\u2019t skimp on the keycaps: They\u2019re expensive PBT plastic with doubleshot legends (separate translucent plastic that will never wear down, no matter how much Cheeto dust you coat it with). They\u2019re an excellent inclusion that some other brands make you pay extra for.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keycaps\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_Keycaps\">Keycaps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One last thing: The package comes with a rather cheap plastic keycap puller, plus a \u201cHyperX\u201d key that can replace the Windows key. But the inclusion that really makes this board shine is an alternative space bar with a unique translucent pattern. This is probably inspired by some of the specialty keyboards offered by Varmilo or HyperX\u2019s keyboard pal Ducky. It\u2019s gorgeous. I\u2019m not an RGB guy, but once I put it on the keyboard and saw it illuminated, I never took it off.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71575 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/4170e0a541e2352619174a27826e0178\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/80f11fc7.jpg\" alt=\"HyperX Alloy Origins 60 space bar\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Michael Crider\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Michael Crider<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I would like to have seen the option to replace the switches with modular bays.

But getting that beautiful RGB lighting and excellent metal body with the extra modular hardware, plus keeping the price down, probably put the kibosh on that feature. It\u2019s hard to disagree with the choice given the result.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adapting_to_the_Size\"><\/span>Adapting to the Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Regular mechanical keyboard fans will be aware of the semi-standard \u201c60%\u201d size used by the AO60. Briefly: It cuts the entire board down to the alphanumeric area of a standard keyboard, shaving off the function row, the number pad, and the arrow keys (plus the various keys to the north). The result is a sleek little number that can easily be thrown in a bag, but which requires a bit of a learning curve and\/or some programming in order to access more esoteric computer functions.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71574 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/77fa2fb17b2ec898b52918cc1ce529df\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/60a1d6d1.jpg\" alt=\"HyperX Alloy Origins 60 function button\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Michael Crider\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">I dig this corner-mounted function button, but wish it could be moved. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Michael Crider<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The way that the board customizes the function layer is therefore important: It determines how hard or easy it is to adjust from a full-sized board. You might recall that a weird layout (and a lack of options for changing it) gave me a very hard time with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/56041\/razer-huntsman-mini-review-programming-remains-the-bane-of-mini-keyboards\/\">Razer\u2019s similar Huntsman Mini. I\u2019m happy to report that the AO60 is much more agreeable in that regard. Placing the FN button in the right CTRL space (with CTRL moved over and Menu abandoned) is a much more natural fit, at least for me.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Software\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_Software\">Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Crucially, there are more options for programming that layer, too. HyperX\u2019s keyboard software allows all the keys except for FN to be rebound, on any layer. That single limitation kind of sucks for me\u2014I prefer to use Caps Lock as a FN key and put easy-to-access arrow keys on the bottom right. But for any user who\u2019s used to the limitations of the 60% form factor, or willing to learn a bit, it makes it easy to adjust.<\/p>\n<p>HyperX\u2019s software isn\u2019t great. It doesn\u2019t allow for super in-depth RGB animation, doesn\u2019t tie into other API\u2019s like Razer or Cooler Master, and it\u2019s just as convoluted and in-your-face as other \u201cgamer\u201d programs. It gets the job done; that\u2019s about as much as I can say in its favor. The software refused to recognize the review unit keyboard on my main desktop, but it worked on a laptop, so I\u2019m prepared to chock that up to weirdness on the part of Windows.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1754px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71578 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/752d4281a2059aaba9f7e81bdb90633a\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/dacfad0c-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1754\" height=\"1112\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">HyperX\u2019s NGENUITY driver program.

It doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense as a desktop board, but I predict plenty of gamers eager to follow the latest \u201cbattlestation\u201d trends will dig it for that purpose, too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Gorgeous metal case<\/li>\n<li>Bright, even lighting<\/li>\n<li>Intelligent 60% layout<\/li>\n<li>Competitive price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>No moving the FN button<\/li>\n<li>Restrictive USB-C bay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
