WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

HyperX Alloy Origins

What it brings

A full layout with number pad in a 442.5 × 132.5 mm aluminium body, with a detachable braided USB-C to USB-A cable.
Manufacturer source
Three onboard profiles, N-key rollover with 100% anti-ghosting, Game Mode and three tilt angles (3°, 7° or 11°).
Manufacturer source

What to check

HyperX publishes no actuation, travel or force figures for the Red switch on these pages; the US switch table describes the Aqua option instead.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The source lists a detachableUSBconnection,and the original UK image shows media functions on theF-row. HyperX lists Windows10,8.1,8and7 as supported operating systems; a macOS software support claim remains unverified.
Manufacturer source

Logitech G512 X 98

What it brings

The 39 Dual Swap beds accept either Logitech’s magnetic analog switches (0.1–4.0 mm actuation) or standard 3/5-pin mechanical switches.
Manufacturer source
It keeps a number pad in a 98% footprint 387.2 mm across, with two programmable knobs, a GAME MODE button and an 8 kHz report-rate option.
Manufacturer source

What to check

Only nine analog switches are included, so adjustable actuation applies to those keys unless more are fitted; the rest use the pre-installed tactile switches.
Manufacturer source
It is wired only, the palm rest is sold separately, and Logitech lists no rollover figure; its UK page lists 81 swappable switch beds, fewer than the keys on the board, so full hot-swap coverage is unconfirmed.
