Description
The HyperX Alloy Origins Core PBT is an ultra-compact, sturdy tenkeyless keyboard featuring custom HyperX mechanical switches designed to give gamers the best blend of style, performance, and reliability. This variant ups durability by adding pre-installed PBT keycaps with side-printing. HyperX’s mechanical key switches are built with exposed LEDs so more of the light output is visible, providing more brilliant, stunning lighting. They’re also tuned with an actuation force and travel distance that is elegantly balanced for responsiveness and accuracy. Alloy Origins Core is built with a full aluminum body so it stays rigid and stable, and also features keyboard feet for three different tilt levels. Its compact TKL design creates space for mouse movement in desktop setups where space is at a premium, and it also features a detachable USB-C cable for portability. Customize your lighting, craft macros, and adjust Game Mode with powerful, easy-to-use HyperX NGENUITY Software.
