Our Verdict

HyperX Alloy Origins

Razer BlackWidow Elite

The Razer BlackWidow Elite is better than the HyperX Alloy Origins for gaming. We tested the Razer with Orange switches, which have a shorter pre-travel distance but higher operating force than the HyperX Reds. The Razer has dedicated media controls, a USB passthrough, and onboard memory to save custom profiles. Additionally, it has lower latency and comes with a wrist rest.
