Our Verdict

GLORIOUS GMMK PRO

HyperX Alloy Origins 65

The GLORIOUS GMMK PRO and the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 are both wired mechanical keyboards designed for gaming use, but the HyperX performs slightly better for this use as it has better latency. The HyperX also has two incline settings for better ergonomics. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS is hot-swappable, meaning you can change out the stock switches for any that you prefer. It also has a programmable knob in the top right corner, which you can use for volume control or other functions.
