As expected, HP unveiled a collection of products at CES 2026. Here we will focus on our favorite new announcements from their HyperX gaming line. These announcements include HyperX’s very first leverless arcade controller, a new 34-inch 360Hz OLED gaming monitor, and a new family of physically customizable gaming keyboards. Let’s dive into each!
HyperX Clutch Tachi Gaming Leverless Arcade Controller
The HyperX Clutch Tachi is HyperX’s first leverless arcade controller, touted as the first “hitbox”-style controller with TMR switches. This controller is officially Xbox Licensed, with compatibility on both Xbox and Windows PCs. Featuring 24mm buttons with 2.5mm total travel distance and 0.25mm resolution, this controller delivers a lightning-fast 0.1ms response time. The controller also sports 35gf to 55gf of actuation force, a built-in angled wrist rest and adjustable legs.
The adjustable legs are coupled with a foam pad and rubber feet, allowing for easy use on either your lap or a countertop. The TMR switches are topped off with pudding keycaps and customizable RGB colors. Keeping the Clutch Tachi feeling nice and sturdy is a metal top plate, covered by a second removable plastic plate. The removable plastic plate allows owners to insert their own user-created designs on the top of the controller. Open-source print files will be available at printables.com, making such physical customizations available for anyone to access.
Button mapping, actuation points and other features are also customizable using the NGEUNITY PC app. Additional features include four SOCD modes, a cable channel, and lock switch, ensuring that you do not break any mid-fight rules during tournament play.
HyperX OMEN 34-inch OLED 360Hz Gaming Monitor
At the CES 2026 preview event, the HyperX Clutch Tachi was set up with Street Fighter 6, displaying on an impressive 34-inch gaming monitor. That monitor was the HyperX OMEN 34-inch OLED 360Hz, showcasing its split display feature. As the monitor has two HDMI 2.1 ports, you can connect two video sources to the monitor. You can then use onboard controls to determine how much real estate each of the video sources takes up on the display.
The monitor’s sides will sport rails, allowing users to connect 3D printed creations to the sides of the monitor. Shown here is a 3D-printed headphone hook holding a HyperX headset neatly in place.

HyperX Origins 2 Gaming Keyboard Family
HyperX is continuing with their trend of physically customizable PC peripherals with the new HyperX Origins 2 family of gaming keyboards. The HyperX Origins 2 Pro 65, HyperX Origins 2 65 and the HyperX Origins 2 1800 are the latest introductions to this line. As their names suggest, the “65” models sport a 65%-sized keyboard layout, with the 1800 sporting a full-sized keyboard build.
These keyboards feature replaceable housings and hot swap 5-pin sockets, allowing for easy keycap and switch replacement. They also employ o-ring mounts to soften impact and reduce noise, allowing for smoother keystrokes. Each keyboard sports a high-profile design and polling rates up to 8K, giving you a comfortable keystroke feel backed by low latency response.
Outside of the 65% vs full-size layout differences, the HyperX Origins 2 65 and the HyperX Origins 2 1800 come with HyperX Linear Red Switches by default. These switches use half-wall POM stems for stability, are factory lubed, and are rated for up to 80 million keypresses. The HyperX Origins 2 Pro 65 instead uses magnetic linear switches for yet even smoother input thanks to its reduction in friction. The HyperX Origins 2 Pro 65 also uniquely features Rapid Trigger technology, which resets a key as soon as lift is detected in a keystroke. This allows for more intentional and deliberate keystrokes during frantic typing or gameplay.
I loved the customizability of the HyperX Alloy Rise 75% we reviewed here back in 2024, so I personally like that HyperX is continuing this trend with their keyboards. While all three models allow you to swap the same parts, I particularly liked how easy it was to change the housing of the HyperX Origins 2 65. The tool for removing the keyboard from the housing sits between the Fn and left cursor keys. You just pick up the tool, use it on the now exposed opening, and pull the keyboard out of the housing. Then it is just a matter of replacing the dampener between the old and new housings, then press the keyboard into its new housing. As with the other HyperX products showcased here, you can create your own 3D-printed housings for use with any of these three models.
