Product Information

Full details

The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is a high-performance, ultra-compact mechanical keyboard designed for gamers who prioritize desk space and quick mouse movements. Featuring a durable aircraft-grade aluminum body and responsive HyperX Red mechanical switches, it provides exceptional longevity and tactile speed. While its 60% form factor is ideal for competitive play, users should note that the lack of dedicated arrow and function keys may require a brief learning curve as they rely on secondary layer functions.

FAQs

Does this keyboard have a warranty?

Can I swap the switches on this keyboard?

Is the cable detachable?

Yes, the keyboard comes with a detachable USB-C to USB-A cable for easier transport.

Can I use this on a Mac?

While it is designed primarily for Windows, it will function as a standard keyboard on macOS, though NGENUITY software is not supported.

How do I access the arrow keys?

The arrow keys are accessed by using the Fn modifier key in combination with specific primary keys as indicated on the side of the keycaps.

Are the keycaps standard size?

Yes, the PBT keycaps use a standard layout, allowing for custom keycap set replacements if desired.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not detected by computer

Ensure the USB cable is firmly connected to both the keyboard and the PC, and try a different USB port.

Lighting effects are not responding

Open the HyperX NGENUITY software and check if a profile is active, or reset the keyboard to factory defaults using the onboard function key combination.

Secondary key functions not working

Ensure you are holding the 'Fn' modifier key correctly, as these functions are layer-dependent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Alloy Origins 60 is straightforward thanks to its plug-and-play USB connectivity. Simply plug the 1.8m detachable cable into any USB port on your PC. It is compatible with Windows 7 through Windows 10. For advanced features, download the HyperX NGENUITY software from the official website. To maintain the board, use a keycap puller to remove caps periodically for cleaning; use a soft, dry brush to remove debris from between the switches. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the circuit board, and store in a dry environment to keep the aluminum finish looking pristine.
