Change keycaps, switches, and the housing anytime![1] Origins 2 65 maintains all the essential keys, removing unnecessary inputs to maintain a small footprint with high efficiency. The 65% layout takes up less space on your desk but keeps you in the game. 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, Origins 2 will communicate input back to your PC up to 8000 times per second, making sure every keystroke is captured. 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 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.
