Hi Everyone,

This is HiexaKey. We are glad to meet you here. Today, we will introduce the first custom keyboard of the brand new G series: Hiexa G60.

I am sure everyone has childhood memories, some of which you still feel nostalgic for until today. One of the essential parts of mine is my passion and love for video games, especially handheld console games. However, for some reason, I’ve never been able to have a handheld game console of my own when I was a child. Now, I can combine it with the keyboard, which is also a way to make up for the regret of my childhood!

Design

Front design—Combining the classic elements and the double L-shaped bars is a decoration and part of the structure, practical as well as elegant and aesthetic. There are WK, WKL, and HHKB layout options.

Side design—It adopts an upper, middle, and lower splicing method and combines it with geometric protrusions for visual features. The RGB strips are embellishments, and you can adjust the colors and brightness of RGB lighting for different atmospheres. The side of the bottom case shell utilizes cutting techniques to create a three-dimensional visual effect!

Back design—It combines game and handheld game console styles, with multiple CNC parts matching each other to make the overall style more complete!

Structure

  • Ball Catch Structure—We have adopted a suitable ball catch for the keyboard case, which can be symmetrically distributed on the shell.

  • Quick-release Button—We have added a convenient quick-release button to the bottom case. By pressing it, you can now quickly and easily release the ball catch system with one hand.

  • Limit Stopper—It prevents scratches caused by the case’s disassembly and assembly and serves as a limit for the keyboard inner.

  • Magnetic Connector—It is the same as the Hiexa V series, which can simplify the assembly process.

  • Brass Internal Weight—It integrates two batteries(Tri-mode) inside to make the interior flat for a better typing sound. Although the internal cannot be seen after assembly, we still designed patterns to make the overall design more perfect!

New Mounting

The G60 adopts the new spring buffer structure. Through continuous testing, we finally found the appropriate spring data. With the support of a spring, the buffer of FR4, and the silicone socks, we have obtained the spring structure we need.

    Why would I use a gamepad that requires me to pick the keyboard up, turn it over, eject the controller turn the keyboard back and put it back down, just to play games on a controller that is less ergonomic than the Xbox Series controller that is allready on my desk next to my keyboard?

    Errr, I mean cool keyboard, I hope your customers will enjoy it!

      Yeah, it looks cool and well thought-out, but I just don’t really see a use case for this. Maybe if it was more lightweight it could be used as a portable keyboard/controller, though I would personally probably still just bring an xbox one controller instead.

        The appeal of a custom keyboard lies in its ability to cater to individual preferences and offer a unique user experience. Thank you for your compliment on how cool and well thought-out the keyboard looks. While using such a keyboard as a game controller might not seem practical, many people find that the value of a custom keyboard extends beyond gaming. It offers an excellent typing feel and customizable features that can be very beneficial for daily office work, programming, and creative tasks. Although an Xbox controller might be more suitable for your specific needs, custom products are all about catering to diverse preferences and needs. :)

    Why is this post just links to images and discord? Those are two huge red flags that an item is just a scam.

    You have a website, why not link to it?
