HyperX didn’t choose to go subtle with their packaging in the least. You can tell right away that the colour scheme is going to be black, red, black, red…and more black. The sole exception to that is the Cherry MX blue switch that you’ll find hiding under every key. Personally, the blue switches are not my first choice for FPS as the tactile click’s reset can be troublesome when attempting repeated quick taps.
Cracking the box open gives you a view of the included travel pouch. Seeing as this keyboard is advertised as a compact keyboard and has a removable USB cable, including a travel pouch just screams as a necessity to me. Getting to a LAN party only to find out a few of your key caps have found a new home in the streets would be painful.
Hiding under the keyboard are 8 red keys, a keycap puller, USB cable, quick start guide, and a thank you card from the HyperX GM. We’ll touch on all that later in the review.
