Compact 60% Layout for Minimal Desk Space

The Hexgears A1 is a 60% mechanical gaming keyboard with a 63-key layout that removes the number pad, function row, and navigation cluster. Its ultra-slim profile and solid aluminum alloy frame reduce the footprint on a desk while keeping essential keys accessible. The design targets gamers and professionals who want a portable board for travel or a clean workstation setup.

Upgrade from Full-Size or Non-Hot-Swappable Boards

Switching to this keyboard makes sense when desk space is tight or when a user wants to experiment with different switch feels without soldering. The hot-swappable PCB accepts Kailh Choc low-profile switches so the typing experience can be changed by simply pulling and replacing switches. The jump is worth it for anyone who values a smaller layout and the ability to customize actuation characteristics on the fly.

Check Low-Profile Keycap Compatibility

Before ordering, verify that any replacement keycaps use the Kailh Choc stem and low-profile height, as standard MX-stem caps will not fit. Per-key RGB customization with 16.8M colors requires the manufacturer’s software, so confirm the operating system supports it. The board connects via Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless, or wired USB-C, so ensure the host device has an available USB port for the receiver or cable.

Questions about this item

What key-switch footprint does the hot-swappable PCB accept?

The PCB is designed for Kailh Choc low-profile switches; only switches with that exact footprint will fit the sockets.

Which connection mode should I select first when setting up the keyboard?

Plug the USB-C cable in to charge the battery and pair the 2.4 GHz dongle or Bluetooth 5.0 before going wireless.

How do I replace the Kailh Choc low-profile switches when they wear out?

Pull the keycaps off, use the included switch puller to remove the old switches, then press new Choc switches straight into the hot-swap sockets.
