HP to Acquire HyperX Gaming Peripherals Brand from Kingston, Which Retains Memory Business

Gmr_Chick · Feb 25, 2021

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :cry:

*hugs her HyperX Alloy Origins Core w/pudding keycaps*

One of three things is going to happen thanks to this - 1) HP's gonna jack up prices on HyperX peripherals 2) HP's going to jack up prices AND the quality is going to go down the crapper or 3).....

wait, nevermind. And I'm pretty sure there's only gonna be one thing happening from this - see 2.....

I'm sad you guys

Without the HyperX memory.. i wonder why HP bought them...
theres no reason to get hyperX without the memory modules..they are famous for their memory mostly.

their headsets have a great rep, and the keyboards arent bad (especially the keycaps)

Bundling those with gaming PCs could genuinely work

Someone got the finger here.
Either Kingston flashed it to HP - "yeah, go ahead and keep the HyperX, but we keep the memory"
Or HP flashed it to HyperX fans around the world.

Also, I wonder what the new memory brand from Kingston will be. Whatever it'll be, will it be as popular as HyperX? Did Kingston shoot themselves in the foot by doing this? Or do they have a plan?
