Key strengths

Manufacturer source

A 323.7 × 114.0 mm footprint with arrow keys, an 8000 Hz report rate, N-key rollover and a 1.8 mm actuation on the included switches.

The checks that matter.

Before you buy

There is no number pad or separate function-key row, and magnetic or optical switches are not supported.

Manufacturer source

HyperX publishes no supported operating-system versions, and its two stores give conflicting weights (692 g versus '.5 lb').

Connection & power

Connections
Wired USB

The cable is listed as a separate item in the box; HyperX does not describe it as detachable in words. Cable length is published in feet. Original published inventory: Wired USB (USB-C to USB-A braided cable, 5.9 ft). The shared field records positively supported wired USB operation. Cable ends/length, host-port setup, pass-through and USB device revision retain their own exact scopes; unknown counterpart details cannot establish a different connection mode.
