Lock in and game on with the Origins 2 1800, a full-function gaming keyboard designed to be personalized. Featuring easy-access housing and hot swap switches, Origins 2 can be customized to create your own unique typing and gaming platform. 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.
Easily Change Up Your Style
When you want to add a new look to your desk, there’s no need to buy a new board. Origins 2 uses a simple 8-screw assembly with colorful frosted housings[1] to make customization a breeze.
Personalize Your Typing Experience
With hot swap 5-pin sockets, you can change the switches and keycaps at any time; no soldering needed. Feel the feedback with tactile switches or go for clicky when you want to type out loud[2].
Improved Typing Comfort
Origins 2 keyboards utilize an O-ring mount to provide a light bounce and deeper sound to each keystroke, a reverb-dampening removable silicon weight, and Plate-mounted stabilizers to reduce wobble[3].
Maximum Function, No Wasted Space
Reclaim your desk space without sacrificing essential control. With a compact 1800-style layout, Origins 2 1800 provides all the functions of a full-size keyboard without taking up extra space[4].
Near-Instantaneous Input
With a lightning-fast 8k polling rate, Origins 2 1800 communicates with your PC up to 8000 times every second. Never miss an input when every keystroke counts.
Cover The Angles
Origins 2 keyboards utilize a high-profile form factor to elevate the surface of the keys and provide easier engagement while typing. With flip-down feet, you can find the perfect angle for your setup.
Smooth HyperX Linear Red Switches
HyperX Linear Red Switches use half-wall POM stems for better stability and typing comfort. The switches are also factory-lubed for smooth actuation, provide a subtle typing sound, and rated for up to 80 million keypresses.
Customizable With HyperX NGENUITY Software
NGENUITY[5] software enables layers of customization, allowing you to fine tune your keyboard and make it truly your own. Rebind keys, record macros, change RGB colors and patterns, and even assign up to three unique input profiles.

Cool gaming keyboard
I have this keyboard at my gaming PC/work desk. I love the light up features options that it has and the different color schemes that it offers. The setup was straightforward, just plug and go. The quality seems fantastic and I also like the option that you can change the backplate on the keyboard from black to blue, pink, or white for a more personalized look. It has been very responsive to my demands with quick responses. The comfort is great and I don’t feel any transfer heat omitting from the keyboard. Overall it is an awesome purchase.

A fun and functional gaming keyboard with great co
I was absolutely stoked to get to use this keyboard. I use a laptop myself, and usually prefer a wireless keyboard (although I would choose one for a desktop as well).- this HyperX keyboard is wired, but it has a long, flexible cord that makes it easy to move around, that I honestly forget it's not even wireless. This keyboard has everything on it that is needed without any extra flourishing buttons- there's the side keypad, which I do like to have, there's a start button, control on the left, the Function buttons, and they're all laid out across the keyboard in a way that is familiar while still keeping it a comfortable size. It's black, with lights being seen from between the keys and through the symbols on each key-I feel like the way the lights are set up on this keyboard make it so you can have it be exceptionally bright, or more subtle, depending on your mood and atmosphere. There is no worrying about missing a keypress with this keyboard either, it's very sensitive and accurate- like, VERY much so. I've noticed that if I bump a key on accident, it gets typed, which could be a little frustrating, but this is a gaming keyboard after all! Accuracy is a must when controlling characters and movements in games and activating keybinds for abilities and such. I've gotten used to it pretty quickly, and in a way it's actually helped clean up my typing, keeping me from being too lazy with my typos. The INGENUITY program that handles the keyboard's binds and lighting functions is east to install and use. Something I really love about this keyboard is just how much control you have over the lighting- not only can you change the colors and the brightness, you can chose what colors go where on the keyboard, and there's even effects. that you can layer onto each other There's options to have the colors "breathe, or wash across the board, or even twinkle across random keys. I currently have it set to a "breathing" type of blend with the twinkling keys, in soft pastel colors. I really do love this keyboard, it is perfectly compatible with my laptop, it's comfortable to type with (it has the little kick stand legs you can use to change the angle), and it's rather lightweight without being just paper-thin. It also sounds nice when typing, the clack of the keys isn't too dramatic but is pretty satisfying when you're typing a lot, which I personally enjoy a lt. HP brand has also always been a well-known name to me and it's definitely had reliable products for a very long time, so I felt pretty sure when getting this product that I would have a good time with it.

Very cool.
Has a great tactile feedback to the keys, very easy to setup. The braided cable is a nice touch. This also has key removal tool which is super helpful. It’s sturdy, responsive. My only weird issue with it is how close the arrow buttons are, took some getting used to but I think it’s fine for me. Others may have a difference of opinion for it. This appears to have a good amount of customizability as well with being able to swap out the shell of the keyboard.

Personal preference will dictate how you feel!
Let’s start with the obvious - this keyboard is gorgeous. It’s large, thanks to the inclusion of a number pad, feels hefty and durable, and the big font and beautiful lights make it extremely easy to read. It’s super simple to set up upon unboxing and the keys are easy to type across quickly, not requiring ultra-firm presses. This is where personal preference starts to come into play. I like a creamier sound and feel with my keyboards; this one currently makes me feel more prone to typos than usual and will take some getting used to, but could lead to more efficient typing down the line. The function keys (playback settings, sound, etc) are a part of the main key layout, not up top, which will have a learning curve as well. That being said, if you like that easy-click feel and having a full keyboard at your gaming setup, this might just be the one for you!

Super satisfying clicky keys with bold vibrant lig
I’m honestly obsessed with this keyboard! The clicky clack is SO satisfying without being obnoxious, and it makes typing feel way more fun and responsive. The RBG lighting is insanely bright and vibrant. The colors really pop whether it’s daytime or in a darker room. It also feels super sturdy and very well built, not cheap at all. Setup was easy and it instantly upgraded my whole desk setup. Definitely one of my favorite keyboards I’ve used.

Very versatile and high quality
I absolutely love this keyboard. It’s beautiful and very functional. Advertise as a gaming keyboard which I think many people think can’t be use for work or personal use which is so wrong. It’s very versatile and can be use for whatever. It’s a normal keyboard. It’s more heavy than my regular keyboard. The compatibility is amazingly impressive. I absolutely love this a lot. Highly recommended
