About this item
- 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 Type-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.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2025Size: 60%Style: HyperX RedColor: BlackVerified PurchaseLove this keyboard. I really like the clicky feel of the red keys. I type a lot and like a good mechanical keyboard. I have a small writing station and went with the 60 as it fits well in the space. I’m not actually using this for gaming. The ability to change the backlighting is great. Changing keycaps is easy. If you’re used to a full size keyboard, it takes a little time to get used to the 60% and it may affect your typing speed until you adjust. But overall, this keyboard leaves me wanting nothing. Build quality is great! It’s actually quite a heavy keyboard for its size. Feels very substantial. It’s satisfying all around. In fact, I just bought a second one to use with another machine in the other room.

Been using this board since late Feb 2021 and I love it. It has a much smaller footprint than the alloy elite while boasting pretty much all of the same features. At first the removal of the dedicated media keys, volume roller, and dedicated RGB keys was bothering me, but all of these functions are mapped to the function keys on this board. Not having those keys is actually the big thing I love about this board. It offers the same hyper x clicky switches that I love in a much more compact form factor.
The build quality is great. The deck is all metal and super slim compared to the alloy elite as well as every other board I've used in the past. It's close to logitech's offerings as far as thinness goes, but without the extreme flex and terrible keycaps. The hyper x keycaps use standard mx stems so using pretty much any keycap set should fit these, though check the questions if you're looking for specific compatibility.
I removed the pudding keycaps from my alloy elite and swapped them over to these which ... is a mixed bag. Overall I love the floating keycap design and the backlighting on this thing is both very bright and software accurate. I do miss the the legends printed on the FN keys that tell me which keys do what since I no longer have the dedicated media keys, but it took approximately a day to remember everything. Compared to the alloy elite this board seems much brighter overall. The lowest setting on these switches seems to be brighter than the highest setting on the elite, which could be a placebo effect but I don't know. I can't turn these up to max without it being painful to keep in my periphery. So RGB?? Fantastic on this board, especially with the pudding keycaps.
I also really like the adjustable feet that offers you 3 different height adjustments. It's pretty standard these days but I still love to see it.
Another thing I love is the numlock/caps lock display. It's positioned perfectly so that you can easily see at a glance which functions you have activated. This was not the case on the alloy elite. The display was placed too closely to the numpad meaning that unless you were sitting up very straight, are super tall, or leaned forward to look at it you could NOT tell what was on/off. This is a big improvement. It seems minor but it really bugged me on the elite.
Not much else to say. Keycaps feel great, very stable and it has that satisfying bump I'm looking for in an mx-blue style switch. i love it.
So everything about this keyboard is amazing, but it right now!! ... oh wait ... the software
Well the software is pretty barebones, isn't very streamlined, and still appears to be in beta from the MS store? I'm not sure as I didn't install this on the computer I'm using right now. I used my old pc (desktop) to set this up since it already had the hyperx software (ngenuity i believe) installed, and it works well enough. While the colors of the keycaps are very accurate in terms of how close they are to what you see in the software you would not notice this with the stock keycaps. The black seems to shift the colors just a little bit so that they appear darker. With the pudding keycaps though they're amazing. Can't complain here. So yeah use the software once to customize your board, then uninstall it. There are plenty of effects to choose from whether you prefer static colors or moving effects ... it all looks great.
And with that yeah I think we're done. This is a fantastic keyboard for anyone looking for a better overall typing experience. Do some research about switches, maybe order a sample pack of switches or something, to find the one that's right from you, then go nuts. Great product, will definitely be buying hyper x again if they can maintain this level of quality and value. Good stuff

- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2025Size: 60%Style: HyperX RedColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI actually want to issue a public apology. For jumping to a conclusion…. As I had wrote a previous statement claiming that my keyboard was not effective as it is. In fact I thought the reason being my RGB lightings didn’t work was on the manufacturer side of things however on (Windows 11) they have this thing in settings calling “Dynamic Lighting” If you go to settings then personalization then (Dynamic Lighting). You will see your keyboard. Click on your keyboard image via “the settings” and turn dynamic lighting off… Dynamic lighting is the sole reason why people think there RGB lighting doesn’t work or doesn’t sync with the software it does it just windows 11 has this stupid thing called (Dynamic Lighting) that you would need to turn off for your keyboard. Then you can change your rgb using there RGB software… I feel so stupid sorry for my previous reviews. I’ll be keeping the keyboard
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2025As someone who spends a significant amount of time typing for work, gaming, writing, a comfortable and efficient keyboard is paramount. After a year of use, few weeks, several months, I'm thrilled to share my experience. This keyboard has truly elevated my typing experience.
This keyboard has significantly enhanced my daily computing experience. Its noise level and ease of use it standout features, exceptional typing feel, comfortable ergonomic design, reliable wireless performance makes it a joy to use for both work and leisure. While there are a few minor considerations, the overall quality, performance, and thoughtful design make this keyboard a top contender in its category.
I wholeheartedly recommend this keyboard to anyone who values a comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable typing experience. It's an investment that pays off with every keystroke.

5.0 out of 5 starsI wanted a keyboard without a number pad to save space, but I wanted something compatible with my HP Omen laptop. The keyboard has a good design with the built in non swappable switches. The key caps can be replaced which I replaced most of the caps with the HyperX white pudding keys for better RGB display lighting. The keyboard is wired only with fast response time and connection. I bought this on sale and it was a great value in my opinion with the metal body and mechanical keys. This fits in my small work area at work or my small work area at home. Overall, a great mechanical keyboard with built in RGB functionality and more customization available with the HP program.Great wired keyboard
