Redragon K552 RGB
Score: 77/100
HyperX Alloy Origins 60 Aqua
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Alloy Origins 60 is a premium 60% keyboard with an aluminum top plate, per-key RGB and detachable USB-C cable. It offers solid build quality and smooth switches, though the compact layout introduces a learning curve and some hardware quirks.
The Redragon K552P offers a solid metal-top-plate TKL design with hot-swappable switches and vibrant RGB at a budget price. While the build feels premium, the stock Outemu switches and non-detachable cable keep it from reaching higher-end tiers.
