Key strengths

HyperX says the 65% layout (315.06 × 105.5 mm) frees more mouse space than a tenkeyless board while keeping dedicated arrow, Page Up/Down, Home and Delete keys.

Manufacturer source

Double-shot PBT keycaps with side-printed secondary functions, three onboard profiles, a 1000 Hz report rate and a detachable USB-C cable.

The checks that matter.

Before you buy

There is no number pad or separate function-key row; F1–F12 and other secondary functions are printed on the keycap sides.

Manufacturer source

It is wired only, HyperX lists only Windows versions as supported operating systems, and its switch table calls the tactile Aqua switch 'Linear', an inconsistency it has not resolved.
