HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, has announced it is shipping the new HyperX Alloy Origins Mechanical Gaming Keyboard featuring HyperX blue mechanical switches. Built for performance and longevity, HyperX blue mechanical switches offer a shorter actuation point and 80 million click rating to meet gaming and work from home needs. The full-sized HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard features a minimalistic, compact design with RGB backlit keys to enhance home offices and PC gaming setups. HyperX blue switches are favored by gamers that like clicky key sounds and operating action.
The HyperX Alloy Origins mechanical keyboard is the first full-sized gaming keyboard built with HyperX Blue switches. As a durable, stable gaming keyboard, Alloy Origins features an aluminum body with brushed finish and leverages a space-saving layout to maximise desktop real estate for ultimate mouse movement.
“HyperX is committed to making reliable keyboards and has invested years in developing a series of key switches with features and design specifications required by gamers. Adding the new HyperX Blue switches alongside the existing Red and Aqua options allows gamers to choose their preferred switch type while receiving the performance, reliability and style found in HyperX-branded switches,” said HyperX keyboard business manager Jennifer Ishii.
Alloy Origins includes RGB backlit keys with exposed LED for brighter illumination with radiant lighting effects and five adjustable brightness levels to enhance gaming, day or night. Equipped with HyperX NGENUITY software, Alloy Origins offers customisation features for lighting and macros, including simple customisable per-key lighting effects. The USB Type-C to USB Type-A keyboard cable is also detachable.
Alloy Origins features Custom Game Mode, allowing users to choose which keys are enabled and disabled. Macro keys can be assigned and stored in the macro library, and users can choose from three adjustable keyboard angles for perfect positioning. With on-board memory, users can save up to three Alloy Origins profiles for on-the-go gaming using HyperX NGENUITY software. Other features include 100 per cent anti-ghosting and full N-key rollover.
