Verdict
HyperX Alloy Origins Core

A solid mid-range aluminum-body gaming board that balances price and build quality without reaching for premium custom-feel or Hall Effect competitive features.
Keydous NJ80
8 / 10 Expert Rating
One of the best value entries into gasket-mounted, QMK/VIA wireless custom keyboards.
