HyperX have announced that their Alloy Origins Core, mechanical keyboard, is out now in Australia and provides PC users, the most compact and yet still reliable mechanical keyboard ever.

Alloy Origins Core maximises desktop real estate with a space-saving tenkeyless layout for ultimate mouse movement. The keyboard features RGB exposed backlit keys for brighter illumination with radiant lighting effects and five adjustable brightness levels to enhance gaming, day or night. For added durability, stability and flexibility, Alloy Origins Core is built with a full aircraft-grade aluminum body and the USB Type-C to USB Type-A keyboard cable is detachable.

“HyperX is excited to release the new Alloy Origins Core featuring HyperX red mechanical switches,” said HyperX. “The Alloy Origins Core was designed specifically for TKL keyboard fans, offering gamers a high-performance HyperX RGB tenkeyless keyboard option.”

The keyboard is the same as the full size one that they released last year, and that we reviewed, just now without a number pad attached. The keyboard will set you back $169, if you were looking to get one for yourself.
