Our Verdict
Das Keyboard X50Q
HyperX Alloy Origins
The HyperX Alloy Origins is slightly better than the Das Keyboard X50Q. The HyperX has a much better typing and build quality, and its software allows for profile saving. The HyperX has linear switches that are better suited for gaming, however, the Das is more comfortable, as it comes with a wrist rest.
