Underscoring its “We’re all Gamers” Philosophy, Gaming Pioneer HyperX Unveils New Mice, Headsets, Keyboards and More at CES 

LAS VEGAS (CES) – Jan. 6, 2020 – Committed to expanding its high-performance product line since its inception in 2014 with gaming headsets, HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., today announced new additions across its award-winning gaming accessories and memory line-up. The newest products being shown at CES include the Cloud FlightTM S wireless gaming headset, Alloy Origins RGB gaming keyboard with HyperX Aqua mechanical switches, Pulsefire Raid gaming mouse, FURY Ultra RGB gaming mouse pad, as well as FURY DDR4 DIMM and Impact DDR4 SODIMM memory modules.
