Our Verdict

Corsair K70 RGB TKL

HyperX Alloy Origins 65

The Corsair K70 RGB TKL and the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 are both wired mechanical keyboard designed for gaming, but the Corsair performs slightly better. It has better latency, dedicated media keys, and its companion software is available on macOS. Alternatively, the HyperX feels better built thanks to its metal chassis and baseplate. Also, its smaller than the Corsair, leaving you more room for mouse movements on your desk.
