Tenho o alloy origins porém versão tkl, ele é um teclado muito bom, porém 700 reais é loucura.

Mine also started failing after a year. All the bottom row keys just started typing on their own. I was going to return the keyboard but it's a hassle getting warranty online and in our country. It turned out that it was a bad solder/Cold solder. I just tried reflowing all the bottom keys and it started working again till now.

Coming from a G213, you might like the feel of a mechanical with similar features. The [HyperX Alloy Origins Core](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=HyperX+Alloy+Origins+Core+full+size&language=en_US&tag=bestdeals202f-20&ref=as_li_ss_tl) is full-size, has good RGB, and a solid metal build. For media controls, some SteelSeries Apex models have a dedicated roller. Both are around your budget. I’d double-check the dimensions against your G213 to be sure it fits your bag.

Wooting 80HE has that analog input, which is neat if you want more precise control in games. But if you want something that just works and feels more traditional, the HyperX Alloy Origins is good and built well. Check out reviews for both and see which one suits your style keyboardyeti might have some useful stuff too, especially about comfort and typing feel.

This will be my second mechanical keyboard purchase after my HyperX Alloy Origins died. I’m torn between the Leopold FC750RBT and the Filco Majestouch 3 Ninja TKL(PS/2 to USB-A), but the USB type is my biggest concern. My first board was USB-C, and the port got damaged within a year or two of use. I’m really leaning toward the 750RBT, but after getting burned with my first keyboard, I want to know how durable Leopolds are long-term. I know its a silly question because USB-C is the standard now but I really dont want to replace my keyboard due to port damage

i am using a HyperX Alloy Origins for gaming. It has been great. I prefer the switches of Hyperx over Razer, Corsair, Logitech. Post sales service of Logitech has been the best. Same day repair and replacement here in Delhi, India. Overall though, I find linear switches gaming keyboard bad for typing. I make a lot of mistakes. As I don't game as much anymore 😭, I have been using Royal Kludge RK75 with tactile switches and it has been the best keyboard for me. The typing experience is amazing. In gaming also it fairs quite well, but for competitive games the wired Hyperx still feels faster (very slightly)

For that price, the HyperX Alloy Origins is a solid option. The full aluminum body feels more premium than the usual plastic stuff you get from big brands in that budget range. It ticks all your boxes: full-size, mechanical, and customizable RGB. FWIW, my mate and I recently did an analysis on Reddit data for gaming keyboards. Basically ranked them by aggregated sentiment. Maybe you'll find it helpful (Google Redditrecs) You can filter by price and layout like full-size and get a breakdown of what ppl have said about the most often recommended ones (disclaimer some links are affiliate they help fund the analyses)
