Community Reviews

Hexgears X1 Pro is a very cheap 68 key wireless mechanical keyboard that stands out as a strong entry level board for tinkering, with hot swappable switches, double shot PBT keycaps, and Bluetooth or 2.4 gigahertz connectivity. The steel plate gives it a solid, weighted feel, the included wrist rest is appreciated, and the stock switches are quiet enough for office use. The backlight is hard to see unless viewed from directly above, and wireless performance can feel laggy in games. It is a budget board with enough hardware to make modding worthwhile.

These keyboard are a really good value. I found am x4 on sd and bought it on a whim. It's my favorite keyboard; my Logitech mx sits in a drawer now.

I own 3 different keychrons, and 1 other mechanical. This is now my 5th, and I definitely think it's a great value. hotswappable, double shot pbt key caps, kailh switches, wireless (BT or 2.4ghz), ABSOLUTELY a deal for 22. Is it the highest quality? No. Does it at least rival anything 100 or less? I'd say so.

The same could be said about literally any other listing on Amazon at that price range. This one has 3.4/5.0 rating with only 5 reviews.

What are you guys complaining about? It's 23 bucks for a mechanical. Buy the type you like and if you're complaining about the kaihl switches, the feel, or sound, or whatever...upgrade to whatever you want. Heck it would still be under 50. This is a hell of a budget board for you to swap out and do whatever you like.

Lmao they have a 100% wired with kailh box browns for $23 that I'm thinking about buying just for the switches. Like legit that's $30-40 worth of switches alone.

This is actually a decent keyboard. The wrist rest is nice. The one huge problem with it is the backlight. It is completely useless, you have to be looking at the keyboard from directly above to make anything out in the dark. Worth about $20.

Recently bought the black one on here for same price on woot. Great keyboard for the price. The wrist rest is just hard plastic but the keyboard itself is very solid and nicely packaged. The switches are textile and quiet enough to use in office.I think it was definitely meant to go for a lot more when it came out based on packaging alone.

Ignore the thumbs down brigade. I've reviewed, modded, and have owned over 35 mechanical keyboards in the last five years and this is a great entry level mechanical keyboard that gives you wireless, hot swappable switches. For a few bucks in foam and tape, this keyboard feels and sounds very good. For sub 25 bucks, take it apart, learn how these boards work, practice upgrading it, then give it away or sell it and upgrade to a better quality keyboard when ready.

Thanks! I appreciate posts that cut through the bs....have one on the way - may I ask you to elaborate on the foam and tape 'mods' so I can recreate?

A couple notes. I picked up the black one and did some work to it to make a semi-silent board out of Akko Rosewoods. It's steel plated and that is where the weight comes from with very little give and flex. Lights sit high so you will need to check switch fitment. The case bottom is already foamed, and foam between the PCB and plate. Power switch is on a separate module. Switches are really stuck in there and I had to separate the PCB and plate (screwed together) to get the switches to easily come off. Otherwise, solid board for $23

Are Akko rosewoods supposed to be very silent?
