The HyperX Alloy Origins 65 is a compact, mechanical keyboard designed for gaming. It's part of HyperX's Alloy Origins series, and it has a 65% form factor with dedicated arrow keys and a few parts of the navigational cluster tucked into the right side of the keyboard. It offers very low latency, N-key rollover, and macro-programmability on all keys. It's only available with HyperX's proprietary linear Red switches, which have a slightly longer pre-travel distance, but a very low actuation force, so keypresses feel very smooth and responsive. While these linear switches are great for gaming, many other comparable keyboards have a range of different switch types available or a hot-swappable PCB, so you can use whatever switches you like.
