2 Comments on HyperX Reveals All-New PC and Console Gaming Gear at CES 2021
Is that like when you pluck the PTFE berries only when at their ripest, and then only use the first-press, squeezing the fresh teflon out? Or how's that work?
Joking aside, HyperX makes decent stuff! Glad to see them making some small improvements, including reducing mass on their gaming mice.
