Brilliant Mechanical keyboard
on May 1, 2026
Posted by: HannahB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HyperX have not disappointed with this smooth super responsive mechanical keyboard. My first impressions were how well built and sturdy it is. It’s got a decent weight to it that it stays put but not too much that its tedious to move around. I’ve been using it for all round use with my PC for general work and also gaming. Its got excellent fast responses for both fast paced games and slower games that I can feel the difference to my older keyboard. Its much more responsive and I feel like my hands glide across the keys so smoothly. The RGB lighting is always a nice added touch and its fully customisable options make it that much more interesting. I love the lighter bounce to the keys but also they make a deeper sound with each press in comparison to a membrane keyboard but in such an appealing way that it actually sounds nice just to use in general. The NGENUITY software has layers of customisation I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface there’s so many ways to make it your own.
If you’re looking for a smooth, comfortable and excellent responsive mechanical keyboard I’d definitely recommend this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This HyperX Origins 2 1800 Keyboard is like no other, the RGB lights are bright and vibrant, looks amazing in both light and dark areas, top quality keys and feel amazing, comes with a easy use tools to be able to remove the keys for easy cleaning, easy connectivity with its USB to USB-C cable which also feels high quality, nice compact keyboard to be able to move home to office easy in a backpack, instance response when typing and the perfect keyboard for gaming, this is definitely an reliable keyboard and its power usage is low even when the computer is on sleep mode!I also like how you can change the RGB patterns via an installable app!

No setup required

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a beautiful keyboard, plug and play set up and stunning design. Original keys were a little sensitive but simple setting change and this was resolved. Keys points I love: the noise. Them clicking noises are lovely! Customisation, been able to ammend the light to how I would like is perfect.

High quality but no wireless connectivity and old
on May 8, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The typing experience is exceptionally fluid, and the product demonstrates robust, high-quality construction. The packaging is also impressive, and I am highly satisfied with both the overall quality and the absence of any discernible lag during typing.
However, the keyboard utilizes a USB-A connection, a standard that is progressively being phased out. The absence of a USB-C to USB-C cable will require a future purchase. Moreover, despite the price, it lacks Bluetooth or wireless connectivity. While this is not an insurmountable issue, incorporating such a feature would likely have incurred minimal additional cost for the company while significantly broadening its appeal to a wider demographic, including individuals like me.

Perfect mechanical keyboard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This keyboard feels brilliant to use, the keys are surprisingly quiet without losing that mechanical feeling. Switching out the switches is genuinely effortless, perfect if you like to customise. It’s got a super fast response time making gaming and typing feeling snappy. It’s a solid build. Great performance and perfect for value.

Great Keyboard for Gaming and Work
on May 14, 2026
Posted by: HelenaB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the HyperX 1800 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for both work and gaming and really it’s been good. The keys feel smooth and comfortable when writing docs for long period, but it is also very responsive jumping and reaction kind of games. The RGB lighting looks clean and it is not to flashy also it is easy to customise it. The keyboard stays firmly in place and doesn’t slide around during gaming. Overall for me it is a really good mix of a professional work keyboard and a proper gaming keyboard. Just a note that I don’t mind the noise keys are producing when using it.
