Expert Features

  • Full-size control in less space: The 1800-style layout retains a numeric keypad and essential function keys in a more compact desktop footprint.
  • Smooth, responsive typing: Factory-lubricated HyperX Red linear mechanical switches actuate at 1.8 mm with 40 g force and are rated for up to 80 million keystrokes.
  • Switches that change with your preference: Hot-swap sockets accept most 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, allowing switch replacement without soldering. Magnetic and optical switches are not supported.
  • High-speed gaming input: Up to 8,000 Hz polling on PC provides frequent input reporting, complemented by N-key rollover and full anti-ghosting.
  • Comfortable acoustics: Silicone O-ring mounting, a polycarbonate plate, a removable silicone dampening weight, and plate-mounted stabilizers help soften vibration and key wobble.
  • Your lighting, shortcuts, and macros: Per-key RGB lighting offers five brightness levels, while HyperX NGENUITY enables key remapping, macro setup, and RGB customization.
  • Personalized construction: The interchangeable outer housing, replaceable keycaps, and adjustable flip-down feet support different looks and typing angles.
  • Wired reliability: A braided USB-C to USB-A cable provides the keyboard connection, with onboard storage for three profiles.
