Hexgears I4 Mechanical Keyboard with Number Pad, Tactile Switches and RGB
Product description
Set up a desk for gaming, office tasks, or everyday typing with the Hexgears I4, a wired mechanical keyboard with a number pad and tactile Kailh Box switches. Its pink-and-white colorway adds a distinctive look to a desktop setup.
The tactile switches provide a noticeable bump with each press, giving you clear feedback while entering text or numbers. A QWERTY layout and number pad keep familiar keys within reach for routine work and play.
An aluminum housing, hot-swappable switches, and per-key RGB lighting bring practical customization to the setup. Use the Hexgears driver to remap keys, create macros, and adjust lighting effects.
Who it’s for
The I4 suits people who want a mechanical keyboard with a dedicated number pad rather than a more compact layout. That arrangement is useful when entering figures, working with spreadsheets, or switching between number-heavy tasks and regular typing. Its tactile feedback also offers a distinct keypress feel for gaming and daily use.
The pink-and-white finish makes the keyboard a visible part of a desk setup, while the aluminum case and silver decorative backplate give it a defined, minimalist look. For someone choosing between a fixed-switch keyboard and one intended for customization, the I4’s hot-swappable PCB makes changing compatible switches part of the design. Switch replacement is solder-free.
What stands out
Kailh Box tactile switches deliver a noticeable bump and crisp response without being described as overly loud. The enclosed Box design is intended to enhance dust and water resistance, and the switches are rated for a 100-million-keystroke lifespan. These details make the switch design a key part of the typing experience, rather than simply a choice of color or lighting.
Per-key RGB backlighting offers customizable colors, brightness, and effects, with 16.8 million color options. The PBT keycaps are thick and not shine-through, so the lighting is visible around the keys rather than glowing through their legends. Through the Hexgears driver, you can also remap keys and set up macros, N-key rollover supports registering multiple keypresses during complex commands.
