HyperX Ngenuity keeps device profiles and lighting setups in app data on Windows. The folder and what to back up.
Last updated
Ngenuity separates the hardware from its setup. Profiles with lighting, macros and audio mixes live under app data. The headset or keyboard holds the active profile for use without the software.
That layout makes profiles portable across reinstalls on the same OS. Copy the folder with the app quit and the setups return. Firmware updates leave profiles alone, which keeps match days safe.
Where HyperX Ngenuity stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\HyperX NGENUITY
Device profiles, lighting and macro setups. Back up with Ngenuity quit. Reselect hardware after restore. Cloud sync, when enabled, merges rather than replaces these files.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Ngenuity profiles?
Copy the HyperX app data folder with Ngenuity quit. Device profiles, lighting and macros travel with it. Hardware pairing may ask for a rescan on the new machine, which leaves profiles intact.
Can I keep separate profiles per game?
Yes, create one profile per game inside Ngenuity and bind it to the executable. Each keeps its own lighting, keys and audio mix. Switching beats rebuilding levels by hand every launch.
