Our Verdict

HyperX Alloy Origins 60

Corsair K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS

The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 and the Corsair K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS are compact gaming keyboards with incredible performance. The Corsair is a wireless unit with a hot-swappable circuit board so you can change out the stock Cherry MX switches easily while the HyperX is a wired-only unit that comes with a limited selection of switch types. While the Corsair keyboard offers much better latency, the HyperX has a much better build quality and a more wallet-friendly price point.
