The new HyperX Alloy Origins 60 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard sports the ultra compact 60% form factor, which helps save space on your desk but still has all of the functionalities of a full-size board. The benefit of a smaller keyboard is also more room for your mouse, too. The Alloy Origins 60 uses HyperX red linear mechanical switches, which have a shorter actuation point and shorter travel time, making them great for even more responsive switch action (great for gaming).

There are also exposed LED designs and PBT double-shot keycaps with secondary functions printed on the sides, so you can quickly recognize what each key does on a secondary or third layer. You can use the HyperX NGENUITY software to personalize lighting, Game Mode and macros, and set up to three different profiles with on-board memory.

The HyperX Alloy Origins 60 mechanical gaming keyboard will launch on February 22, 2021 for $99.99 at the HyperX online store.

If you have an Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S controller, then the ChargePlay Duo Controller Charging Station is another great accessory to consider (pairs nicely with Apple Arcade and the OtterBox gaming accessories). While this is originally designed for Xbox One controllers, it comes with two additional battery doors to fit onto the Series X/S wireless controllers. The product also has a quick docking design on the weighted base, as well as LED indicators that display the charging status for your controllers. All ChargePlay Duo units come with two 1400mAh rechargeable battery packs.

The HyperX ChargePlay Duo Controller Charging Station for Xbox will be available in February 2021 on HyperX.com and sell for $39.99.
