With easy-access housing and hot-swappable switches, the Origins 2 can be tailored to your preferences, creating a unique platform for typing and gaming. Swap keycaps, switches, and even the case at any time!* Thanks to its compact 1800 layout, this keyboard delivers essential functionality*** without sacrificing desk space. Under the hood, a silicone dampener and a polycarbonate plate absorb vibrations and reduce reverberation, ensuring quiet typing. But this keyboard isn't just for typing. With support for up to 8kHz polling rate, this gaming keyboard sends your commands to the PC up to 8,000 times per second, ensuring every keystroke is registered the instant it's pressed. The high-profile case features flip-up feet, allowing you to adjust the tilt angle for optimal comfort and ergonomics. This keyboard comes equipped with HyperX Linear Red switches, offering fast and smooth actuation at 1.8 mm. HyperX switches use POM side walls for stability and reliability, rated for up to 80 million keystrokes, and can be replaced at any time. Hot-swap sockets are compatible with most 3- or 5-pin mechanical switches. The Origins 2 keyboard can be fully customized using HyperX NGENUITY software, allowing easy remapping, macro creation, RGB lighting effects customization, and saving up to 3 profiles for maximum functionality in any scenario.
