Product Description

The HMX Click Inc Macaron65 is a compact 66-key mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a small form factor with customization options and improved typing acoustics. It fits well for hobbyists who program layouts or swap switches frequently, and for typists seeking a softer, quieter experience. It lacks wireless connectivity, so it is best for desk use with a wired setup.

Key Features

Supports QMK and VIA firmware, allowing extensive key remapping and macro programming.
Hot-swappable MX-compatible switches enable easy switch changes without soldering.
North-facing switch orientation benefits users who prefer certain keycap profiles and lighting effects.
5° typing angle offers a slight incline for ergonomic hand positioning.

Build Quality

CNC-machined aluminum case with electrostatic spray coating provides a durable and stable base.
Gasket mount design, which uses flexible mounting to reduce typing fatigue and improve sound dampening.
FR4 plate with flex cuts adds subtle keyboard flex, enhancing typing comfort.
Multiple layers of foam, including Poron case foam, sponge foam, and IXPE switch pad foam, improve acoustic dampening and reduce key noise.

Typing Experience

The gasket mount and foam layers combine to create a quieter, softer typing feel compared to traditional rigid mounts.
Plate-mounted switches provide a stable keypress with moderate feedback depending on switch choice.
ANSI layout with 66 keys offers a compact footprint while retaining essential keys for most users.

Connectivity and Compatibility

Wired USB-C connection ensures reliable communication with minimal latency.
Compatible with Windows systems; compatibility with other OS is unknown.
Prebuilt assembly means no soldering required to start using the keyboard.

Trade-offs

No wireless or Bluetooth options, limiting portability and multi-device switching.
Compact 66-key layout may require learning new key combinations for some functions.
No built-in audio or microphone ports, so it lacks integrated multimedia connectivity.
