## Description

Hyperx Alloy Origins Core - Tenkeyless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Software Controlled Light & Macro Customization, Compact Form Factor, RGB Led Backlit, Tactile Hyperx Aqua Switch : desertcart.ae: Office Products

Review: Just Amazing - Great keyboard. Been so happy since I got it. Not the quietest. Great tactile typing feel. Windows app very good too. Configurations can be saved to the keyboard itself.
Review: Solid - Feels solid and premium due to the aluminum body. Typing feels good. Lighting is very bright and you have a couple of customization options. I just wish that the port for the cable was in the middle

## Features

- HyperX mechanical switches: The key switches are custom-designed to be a balance of responsiveness and accuracy, featuring a short travel time and low actuation force. They’re also reliable, rated for 80 million keypresses with no loss of quality.
- Full aircraft-grade aluminum body: The aluminum casing keeps the keyboard structurally sound and stable when the action gets intense and the game hangs in the balance; battle after battle, night after night.
- Ultra-compact TKL design with detachable USB Type-C cable: The sleek tenkeyless form factor gives you more space for rapid mouse movements, especially in desktop setups that are too tight for a full-sized keyboard. It also has a detachable cable so it’s easy to take on the go.
- RGB backlit keys with radiant lighting effects: HyperX mechanical switches feature an exposed LED for brighter, more luminous RGB lighting.
- Advanced customization with HyperX NGENUITY Software: Customize Game Mode, take greater control over lighting effects, and set up your own macros.
- Three adjustable keyboard tilt angles: Adjust the two-step keyboard feet for three different angle settings (3°, 7°, or 11°), whichever makes your wrists the most comfortable.
- Onboard memory for three profiles: Create your own custom-designed lightshows, save them directly to the keyboard, and take them with you on the go.
- Game Mode, 100% anti-ghosting, and N-key rollover: Ensure that all your keypresses register and that you’re not accidentally taking yourself out of the game in key moments.
