Q: QuestionDoes the keyboard come with other/ extra key caps and a hey cap puller. Also what type switches does it have? Cherry mx?

Asked 5 years ago by kaid.

• A:Answer No, just the board and the USB C cable comes in the box. No extra keys or puller. This also uses HyperX's own red linear switches. Coming from their Alloy FPS Pro that used Cherry Reds, I much prefer the HyperX switches. They feel great. I would recommend buying this and a set of the HyperX Pudding key caps for $25 extra. You end up with one really really nice TKL keyboard. Check for a review from Techne on youtube.. dude is dead on in his review on this. Its an amazing keyboard at this price point for us that prefer a TKL.

  I would recommend:

Q: QuestionIs it possible to lube this keyboard? I've tested the keys with stabilizers and wanted to know if it can be lubed or not. If no, that's completely fine, just wanted to ask which may be important for others as well.

Asked 4 years ago by Angel.

• A:Answer If you know how to desolder switches, you just need to open the board, desolder them, lube/film the switches, then solder them back on. Stabs can be lubed in the same way.

Q: QuestionIs it 100% or 60%

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer This is not 100% or 60%. Closer to 87%. The only part missing is the 10key pad. 60% keyboards will drop off the arrow and discrete FN keys, etc. This TKL model is fairly compact, but a 60% will be smaller.

Q: QuestionHow do i swap CMD with Windows keys with alt and switch alt to windows keys ? i'm using this keyboard for mac so need help swapping switches and their functionality..

Asked 4 years ago by rv.

• A:Answer Hi! I believe you may need to install the Hyper X ngenuity software, which is found on the windows store, but in your case, I think you can go the Hyper X website & download from there. The software also allows you to change the color of the RGB & how it’s displayed too.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with the new Xbox

Asked 4 years ago by B.

• A:Answer Absolutely. I purchased this keyboard for that exact reason. You can change the light profiles on a PC, then select between them on the keyboard itself. So once you setup a profile or 3, you hook it to Xbox and you're all set. Also works through a charger USB (I have the 2 pack controller battery charger attached to my Series X, which has a Pass through usb basically).
