Score: 80/100
RK Royal Kludge X108
Score: 79/100Rankings
The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 is a compact 60% mechanical keyboard with an aluminum chassis and per-key RGB lighting. Its main trade-off is the lack of wireless connectivity and a reduced key set. Ideal for gamers who prioritize portability and premium build.
The RK Royal Kludge X108 is a full-size wired mechanical keyboard with clicky blue switches, an aluminum alloy chassis, and extensive per-key RGB lighting. It lacks wireless options and the included plastic wrist rest feels cheap, which may deter users seeking premium ergonomics. Best suited for gamers and typists who value a retro aesthetic and robust wired performance.

Professional reviewers commend the X108 for its solid aluminum build, high-quality clicky blue switches, and authentic steampunk keycaps, noting the extensive RGB options and ergonomic tilt legs as strong usability points. However, they point out the cheap-feeling plastic wrist rest and the absence of wireless connectivity as notable drawbacks.
Everyday users love the retro typewriter look, the satisfying clicky switches, and the bright RGB customization, while appreciating the sturdy feel and volume knob. Common complaints focus on the plastic wrist rest's comfort and the distracting nature of some lighting modes, as well as the lack of wireless capability.
