Overview

  • HyperX mechanical switches
    The key switches are custom-designed to be a balance of responsiveness and accuracy, featuring a short travel time and low actuation force. They’re also reliable, rated for 80 million keypresses with no loss of quality.
  • Full aircraft-grade aluminum body
    The aluminum casing keeps the keyboard structurally sound and stable when the action gets intense and the game hangs in the balance; battle after battle, night after night.
  • Ultra-compact TKL design with detachable USB-C cable
    The sleek tenkeyless form factor gives you more space for rapid mouse movements, especially in desktop setups that are too tight for a full-sized keyboard. It also has a detachable cable so it’s easy to take on the go.
  • RGB backlit keys with radiant lighting effects
    HyperX mechanical switches feature an exposed LED for brighter, more luminous RGB lighting.
  • Advanced customization with HyperX NGENUITY Software
    Customize Game Mode, take greater control over lighting effects, and set up your own macros.
  • Three adjustable keyboard tilt angles
    Adjust the two-step keyboard feet for three different angle settings (3°, 7°, or 11°), whichever makes your wrists the most comfortable.
  • Onboard memory for three profiles
    Create your own custom-designed lightshows, save them directly to the keyboard, and take them with you on the go.
  • Game Mode, 100% anti-ghosting, and N-key rollover
    Ensure that all your keypresses register and that you’re not accidentally taking yourself out of the game in key moments.
