HP announced today that it will acquire gaming peripheral brand HyperX from Kingston for $425 million. You might be familiar with HyperX as we have reviewed several of their accessories at GBAtemp.

However, the announcement clarifies that while the acquisition involves HyperX’s gaming peripherals portfolio, Kingston will retain "the DRAM, flash, and SSD products for gamers and enthusiasts". The deal is set to close in calendar Q2 2021.

Great... The only good budget hardware is about to be eaten up by the second worst PC manufacturer.

HP has the OMEN brand.

Just wondering... which one is the worst one?

HyperX headsets and keyboards are up there somewhere and a majority of FPS pros tend to like them. (looking specifically at Cloud II here)

To me looks like a pretty good move from HP.

Dell. By a mile.

FAST has a point, though. I should have clarified consumer computers. Both have decent support for businesses.

RIP the Hyperx Melee(Smash) x SFV(Street Fighter) post evo event show. that was a very fun and entertaining event to bring two different communities together.

As long as they don't ruin it i'm fine. Would be sad if they wasted a great headset manufacturer though.

I own their headphones, which I like. Not a fan of Steelseries at all, their sound stage is flat and weak.
