Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: connect the included 1.8m detachable USB-C cable to your keyboard and your PC’s USB port. The device is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7. For advanced customization, download the HyperX NGENUITY software from the official website to sync lighting profiles and create macros. To maintain your keyboard, use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface. Because the keycaps are PBT, they are highly resistant to oil buildup, but you can remove the caps with a keycap puller (not included) and wash them in warm, soapy water if they become excessively dirty. Always ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
