The days of the full-sized keyboard being the only option out there for those looking for a more premium look and feel is now well and truly a thing of the past. From the rise of the TKL to now the mini revolution. That is the 60% form-factor where it looks like, well, Honey, I Shrunk the Mechanical Keyboard.

The new HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is a 60% from Hyperx, and a pretty impressive one to boot.

Last year HyperX released one of the great keyboard collaborations with the HyperX x Ducky One 2 Mini. The 60% form-factor mini keyboard saw the well-known peripheral maker team up with the respected Taiwanese outfit, a company known for its mini keyboards. The result lived up to our expectations and then some, thanks to its fantastic build quality, the all-timer ‘spacebar feel’, and a look that was cute and fun.

And really there’s that element found across the entire mechanical keyboard sub-genre we’ve come to know of at the 60% form-factor. It’s like a mechanical keyboard, but smaller. The new HyperX Alloy Origins 60 builds on the Ducky collab in a few key areas, it retains the same great feel thanks to the inclusion of HyperX’s own impressive mechanical switches, but also ups the build quality with a full aluminium body and some great new usability touches.
