Our Verdict

HyperX Alloy Origins

GLORIOUS GMMK PRO

The HyperX Alloy Origins and the GLORIOUS GMMK PRO are both gaming keyboards; however, the HyperX is a full-size prebuilt board, while the GLORIOUS is a 75% compact barebones board. The GLORIOUS doesn't come with any switches or keycaps, so you can buy and install any type you prefer. On the other hand, the HyperX is available with linear Hyper X Red, tactile HyperX Aqua, and clicky HyperX Blue switches. Also, its customization software offers cloud sync and the option to create and save more profiles.
