What’s the difference between NGENUITY Legacy and the NGENUITY beta?
Great question! NGENUITY Legacy (2020-2025) is our soon-to-be legacy version of HyperX software, while the new NGENUITY beta (2025) is the latest iteration of HyperX software. Let’s break it down even further:

- Current version, will be replaced by NGENUITY beta once it is officially released
- Compatible with all NGENUITY-enabled HyperX devices released before August 2025

- Set feature list

Why did you guys name it the same thing?
We know, it’s a little weird, but we’ve grown pretty attached to the name over the years. It represents our commitment to making creative and innovative products and experiences for gamers, with a gentle reminder for us to not take ourselves too seriously.
Where can I download NGENUITY?

Does NGENUITY work on macOS or Linux?
Currently, NGENUITY is only available for Windows. If you’re also a macOS, Linux, or console user, you can still benefit from specific limited features by using a product that has onboard memory profiles. However, you’ll need a Windows computer to customize and save changes onto the device’s onboard profile.

Why isn’t my device showing up?
Try the following steps:
- Check that your device is compatible with the version of NGENUITY you’re using
- Check for available firmware updates
- Use a different USB port
- Reinstall the NGENUITY beta app
If your device still isn’t showing up after all that, reach out to our Care team for troubleshooting help. Keep in mind that a lot of our older devices are not yet compatible with the NGENUITY beta (2025). Many of our newer devices (and everything launching in August 2025 and later) will not be compatible with NGENUITY (2020–2025).
Why is my software missing features?
The NGENUITY beta is still in active development, so not all the features are fully implemented yet. We’re working hard to get everything up and running for you, so stay tuned for future updates!
Where can I get product support?
We’re always happy to help with any
questions you might have. You can reach our Care teams here.
Can I use NGENUITY with Omen Gaming Hub?
Of course! Just make sure to only use
one of the two apps for RGB lighting to avoid conflicts.
Is there a standalone firmware updater for my Cloud Alpha 2 wireless?
There sure is! You can download the
firmware updater here.
