Going along with the HyperX Alloy Elite RGB mechanical keyboard is the HyperX Pulsefire Surge RGB mouse. From the press release, the gaming mouse includes RGB lighting effects, a Pixart 3389 sensor and the ability to go up to 16,000 DPI.
Lastly, HyperX has introduced their Predator DDR4 RGB RAM memory modules which feature synchronized RGB lighting and IR technology. RGB is becoming quite the norm for RAM modules though with this Predator kit, the user will be able to customize various lighting and pattern effects. Unfortunately, there’s no word on particular kit configurations quite yet.
In terms of availability, the HyperX Cloud Flight headset along with the HyperX Alloy Elite RGB mechanical keyboard will be available this month. The HyperX Pulsefire Surge RGB gaming mouse and the Predator DDR4 RGB RAM will be available at some point during the second quarter of this year.
