Change keycaps, switches, and the housing anytime![1] With nearly all the capabilities of a full keyboard in a compact frame, the 1800-style layout delivers essential functionality[3] without sacrificing desktop space. Under the hood, you’ll find a silicon O-ring mount and polycarbonate plate to absorb vibrations and reduce reverb for a peaceful typing experience. But this keyboard isn’t just for typists. With up to 8k polling, this gaming keyboard communicates your input back to your PC up to 8000 times per second, making sure every keystroke is captured in the heat of the moment. The high-profile housing is equipped with flip-down feet so you can adjust your angles for comfort and ideal ergonomics. This keyboard comes equipped with HyperX Linear Red switches that provide swift, smooth feedback and a snappy 1.8 mm actuation. HyperX switches use POM half-wall stems to add stability and reliability for up to 80 million keystrokes, and you can replace those switches whenever the mood strikes. The hot-swap sockets are compatible with most 5- or 3-pin mechanical keyboard switches. Origins 2 is fully customizable with HyperX NGENUITY software. You can easily remap key functions, assign macros, customize RGB effects, and create up to 3 profiles for maximum functionality in any situation.
