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.

Compact, portable design with detachable USB Type-C cable

The small footprint gives you plenty of room for rapid mouse movements. 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.

* Available switch colors vary per country. Please check your local retailer/etailer for availability.

Title: great quality build. good lighting and well laid out key caps
Review: I had previously bought a Logitech G series keyboard, it had a series of problems (see my review of it)some were usability (this silly trend of placing the symbols below the digits on the keys) others were design issues, (only the primary symbol on a key lit up making it impossible to find the obscure symbols) and finally plain simple quality issues, the space bar was too flimsy and would not register keystrokes and within a few weeks the keycaps were coming off.This Keyboard is cheaper, far better built, has non of the issues. The keys are well presented and traditionally laid out. The entire keycap lights up, the software is fine. All the keys strike well and always register. and despite a few weeks of solid use, there is no sign of wear.Big thumbs up for HyperX – I’d been a repeat Logitech customer for many many years and their shoddy new designs have made me look elsewhere. I am really glad I did.

Title: Great response. Louder than membrane keyboards
Review: Brought this keyboard into a Mac room with other Mac membrane keyboards and it was noticeably louder in comparison. The quality is perfect, no damage on arrival. Controls are straight forward and works immediately on plugging in. Multiple lightning settings. Only available in US layout so don’t forget to change your keyboard settings to US.This is an incredible experience for gaming. Feels satisfying to play rhythm games and any others due to the fast response times, non-tactile feel and high sensitivity.For typing, the most common complaint is the high sensitivity as slight touches can register a key press accidentally. I have had this experience in the beginning and had a higher rate of typos but after adjusting on this keyboard, it can be a joy to type. There’s no trouble in pressing backspace and there really isn’t any reason to leave your fingers on the keyboard unless you are pressing something. For slower or less experienced and picky typists that cannot find the backspace immediately, don’t buy this.

Title: Just what I wanted and need.
Review: I’m English so the fact that this only comes with a U.S layout is a shame. It doesn’t stop me from changing it to UK layout in system settings though. Works a treat.I’m an old-time BZFlag player, for those who don’t know it’s an old advanced tank FPS game from the 90s. I need everything to fit under my fingers perfectly with an extremely high demand for the fastest response time available allowing me to dodge and kill my enemies at ease. These red switches help especially when the bullet velocity and super flag weapons have been set blindingly quick, I can move in a blink of an eye with this keyboard and it’s not just the red switches. Not too much bling, good lighting that doesn’t dazzle you, good quality keycaps, I have seen better, but these basically fit the rest of the keyboard’s build quality. Not the best, but definitely not the worst and will last nearly as long as you want them to. This keyboard has never let me down and never distracted me once.In regards to the people saying the backplate is flimsy, they’re wrong. I gently smashed it over my knee and it didn’t flex. Also, anything thicker than what it has would be a little weird. The join between the plate and the plastic bottom shell makes a smooth transition and you wouldn’t notice that the rest is plastic until you tap on it. Accustics are nice too.If you’re the person that wants the keycaps to feel like the steering wheel of a Bently then don’t bother.If you’re looking for a sturdy keyboard that will last and has easily replaceable keycaps and possibly something that’s portable, you might like this.If you’re looking for a cheap tenkeyless keyboard and are eying this one but it’s a little out of your price range then save the extra twenty pounds. Especially if you aren’t picky.If you’re like me, looking for something that literally does what it says on the tin, practical, and does what it says to more than what I initially expected from it, it’s a great keyboard. Glad I didn’t buy the Bloody I was going to.Makes a nice change from Corsair keyboards. Not that I have an issue with them since I’ve only owned a K30. The worst piece of plastic I ever set eyes on after less than a year’s use. This though.. I’ve had it coming to three times longer now and it’s still good as new.

Title: Great product – best keyboard I’ve ever purchased.
Review: So this is the first review I’ve ever done on Amazon as I really felt that this product warranted it.By far it’s the best keyboard I have ever purchased. In the past I’ve always used membrane keyboards, but more recently I wanted to try out a mechanical one as I’d heard good things about them. I know this is incredibly geeky, but I also love the sound mechanical keyboards make when you’re typing.This thing feels and sounds beautiful. It’s lovely to type and game with. The light features are also a nice touch. Although I don’t think I’ll be changing from the standard back-lit keys, it’s still nice to show other people what it can do. I also really like the fact that there’s no driver download/install required, it’s quite literally plug in and play.I only have a few gripes with this, as you can see though this hasn’t changed my 5 star score. The first is the fact that this product didn’t offer a UK layout version, I found myself struggling to find a few keys where I’d normally expect to find them. It wasn’t enough to put me off buying the product though. The only other gripe I have is that I’m really struggling with the enter key, it’s much smaller and is slightly differently placed than my previous keyboard, so that’s going to take some getting used to as well. Obviously they couldn’t have avoided this as the keyboard is just the right size in my opinion.

Review: Es un exelente teclado tanto en materiales que se usas como las Keycaps y Mucho mas los Switches Que trae, ya que estas son unos Cherry (una de las mejores marcas fabricantes de estos), y aparte te ayuda en parte si jeugas shooters ya que tienen un tiempo de actuacion bajo ya que estos Son lineales y muy comodos y suaves a la hora de jugar, yo los lubricaria un poco pero de fabrica bienen muy bien, Una compra recomendadisima si lo tuyo son los FPS y los Juegos en general si buscas algo para Escritura trata buscar unos Switches Brown
