Product Description

The Hexgears X1 is a compact mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a portable, versatile option with low profile mechanical switches. It fits well for gamers, creatives, and professionals who value multi-device Bluetooth connectivity and a slim design. Its combination of tactile, linear, and clicky switch options allows customization for different typing preferences.

Key Features

Low profile Kaihua Choc mechanical switches reduce finger fatigue and offer faster key presses compared to traditional switches.
Full per-key RGB lighting with multiple backlight modes helps improve visibility and allows personalization of the typing environment.
Multi-device Bluetooth 4.0 support with memory for up to 4 devices enables seamless switching between PC, tablet, and smartphone.
Wired USB-C connection provides a stable, low-latency option when wireless is not preferred.
Upgraded firmware enhances battery life and overall performance.

Build Quality

The keyboard features a CNC-machined aluminum case, offering a sturdy and durable frame while keeping the weight low for portability. Its compact form factor makes it easy to carry, and it includes a hard-sided carrying case for protection during travel.

Typing Experience

Users can choose between Brown (tactile), Red (linear), or White (clicky) low profile switches, catering to different feedback preferences. The low profile design reduces key travel and noise compared to standard mechanical keyboards, which can benefit those seeking a quieter or more comfortable typing session.

Connectivity

Bluetooth 4.0 allows connection to multiple devices with quick switching, ideal for users who work across several platforms. Wired USB-C provides a reliable alternative when wireless is not suitable or for charging. Bluetooth requires firmware version LMP 7.x or newer for full functionality.

Trade-offs

Battery life lasts about 8 hours with RGB lighting active, which may require frequent charging for heavy users.
Bluetooth 4.0 is an older standard, so wireless range and stability may be less than newer Bluetooth versions.
Key rollover is limited to 6 keys in Bluetooth mode, which might affect some fast typists or gamers.
The compact layout may lack dedicated function keys or a numpad, which could reduce efficiency for some office tasks.
