A fantastic compact gaming keyboard with customisable RGB, solid build quality and a few compromises when it comes to everyday typing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HyperX Origins 2 1800 comes really well packaged and presented, with everything you need included in the box. The keycap puller is a nice touch and comes in handy if you want to swap keycaps in the future.
I like the compact layout as it still manages to include all the keys I need without taking up loads of desk space. The RGB lighting is bright and easy to customise, so it's simple to get it looking exactly how you want. I also like that the USB-C cable can be disconnected from the back of the keyboard, making it easy to pack away, transport or replace the cable if needed.
For gaming, it's excellent. The keys feel responsive and comfortable to use. However, the compact layout does take a bit of getting used to, especially if you're coming from a full-size keyboard. I find it's not quite as comfortable for typing as it is for gaming.
One minor issue I've noticed is that the keys are very sensitive. Sometimes if I rest my fingers on them, I accidentally press a key or trigger a sound without realising it.
Overall, it's a great gaming keyboard with excellent lighting, build quality and features, but the compact design and sensitive keys might not suit everyone.

Good quality, stylish and nearly silent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great keyboard, it has a nice compact design that also fits a numpad. It feels very high quality, and when typing the keys make no noise which is great. The lights look very nice, going as bright as you like with a vast array of colour options. Overall I’m really pleased with the Origins 2 1800, and look forward to using it for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This keyboard is spectacular in lots of ways.. the keys feel so silky smooth and doesnt make any noise when you press it. I love the led colours and the black they go together well. The size of the keyboard fits perfectly within my gaming set up and it was a huge upgrade to my last keyboard. Its not bulky or in the way of everything else i have on my gaming desk. I would reccomend this keyboard to my friends. I also love that you can switch the keys around or get a cover for the keyboard. The keyboard will definitely last for years as its made very well and worth the money.

Super easy keyboard to plug and play

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the HyperX origins 2 keyboard for a while now and it's awesome. Setup is insanely easy, basically just plug and play. I also love the RGB lighting, it's easy to change between solid colours, rainbow or a heatmap style mode which colours some surrounding keys as you type. It's quite a weighty keyboard so it doesn't slip or move around on my desk.

What I love most is the ability to customize and change the keyboard lighting colors. The keyboard is also very easy to use

The controls are responsive and it's a powerful keyboard. Great value for what it is, there aren't really any limitations to what this can do!
