Kingston’s HyperX introduces a sub-$50 gaming headset and its first ever keyboard

One of the dominant companies in PC hardware has spent the last few years establishing its presence in the peripheral markets, and now it’s ready to expand on that effort.

HyperX wants to reach more gamers than ever, and it wants to accomplish that with a headset at a mass-market price and a new gaming keyboard. HyperX’s Cloud Stinger is a $50 wired headset that comes packed with features October 3. The Alloy FPS, meanwhile, is a $100 mechanical gaming keyboard with Cherry MX switches and a rugged chassis that debuts October 24. This is the first time that HyperX is venturing outside of headsets, and it is an early indicator of the company’s plans to offer a spectrum of high-quality gaming equipment.
