Verdict
HyperX Alloy Origins Core
7 / 10 Expert Rating
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.
NuPhy Halo96
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A clean, well-built standard-height 96% that brings NuPhy's design sensibility to a more mainstream switch format.
