HyperX launched a self developed blue mechanical axis for the Aloi Origin series mechanical keyboard

Kingston’s peripheral brand HyperX released a new self-developed mechanical keyboard axis, the blue axis on December 22. Previously, HyperX has two mechanical shafts, a red shaft, and a water shaft. This blue shaft is a paragraph shaft like the water shaft. The difference is that the trigger pressure is higher, the sound is clearer, and the speed is slightly slower.

HyperX Blue is a mechanical axis designed for users who like crisp sound, similar to the CHERRY blue axis, but with a shorter trigger key and more sensitive. The shaft trigger pressure is 50 g, the trigger stroke is 1.8mm, and the total stroke is 3.8mm. The upper cover of the shaft body adopts a transparent design, supports RGB lighting, and has a life span of up to 80 million times.

According to the official description, HyperX blue axis with abundant rich tactile feedback and clear voice, with a higher reset position and pressure, so click fast speed may be slightly slower. However, if you are a gamer or daily typing user who likes crisp passages and sounds, you will not mind losing that little speed.

Compared with HyperX’s red shaft and water shaft, the trigger stroke of the three mechanical shafts is 1.8mm, which is 0.2 to 0.4mm shorter than CHERRY’s common shafts, which are faster and have a longer life.

The HyperX blue axis will be mounted on three mechanical keyboards, Alloy Elite 2, Alloy Origins (Alloy Origins), and Alloy Origins Core (Alloy Origins 87 keys). At present, it is temporarily unable to buy a blue-axis keyboard in China. The HyperX Aloi Origin 87 mechanical keyboard equipped with a water axis is currently on pre-sale at a price of 599 yuan (91.75 USD).
