Our Verdict

Razer Huntsman Mini

HyperX Alloy Origins 65

The Razer Huntsman Mini and the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 are both compact mechanical gaming keyboards that connect with a wired connection. However, the Razer has slightly lower latency. It also has better color mixing in the RGB backlighting, and you can program macros directly on the keyboard without the software. On the other hand, the HyperX feels better built and comes with extra goodies like a wire keycap puller and additional space-themed keycaps.
