HyperX has unveiled its next-generation Origins wired keyboards at CES 2026, emphasizing performance and customization. The new Origins 2 and Origins 2 Pro models are 65-percent keyboards featuring high-profile keys with hot-swappable switches, allowing users to easily customize without soldering. The Pro model includes Hall effect switches with advanced features like rapid trigger and adjustable actuation points. Additionally, users can customize the keyboard's appearance by changing the housing and using 3D-printed designs. Both models offer an 8K polling rate for faster input registration, although the difference may not be noticeable for most users. This matters because it highlights the growing trend towards customizable and high-performance gaming peripherals, catering to both casual and competitive gamers.
