Verdict

HyperX Alloy Origins 60

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A well-built, travel-friendly 60% board let down only by the lack of wireless at this price point.

Keychron Q1 Max

9 / 10 Expert Rating

Premium custom-keyboard feel, build, and programmability at a fraction of a custom build's cost — the best mechanical keyboard for most people, barring competitive 2.4GHz needs.
