Features
The Hexgear Nova Mechanical Keyboard combines style, durability, and performance in a compact, tenkeyless design. Crafted with anodized aluminum for both the upper and lower case, the Nova offers a level of sturdiness and elegance that’s rare in its price range. Its substantial build ensures stability, while a refined font on the keycaps provides a sophisticated look without the typical “gamer” aesthetic.
Designed for gamers and typists who prefer a smaller layout, the Nova’s compact form factor enhances portability and frees up desk space, allowing for more comfortable mouse positioning. Equipped with dynamic RGB lighting, it includes per-key lighting modes and an RGB ring, controlled through the function layer, with shine-through keycaps that look great with or without lighting.
Featuring durable Kailh Box switches rated for 80 million presses, the Nova delivers smooth, stable keystrokes with options for both tactile and clicky feedback. These switches include drainage ports and self-cleaning housings, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Additional features include plug-and-play functionality, angle adjustment feet, and onboard controls like Windows key locking for a quick and optimized setup. The Nova is a luxurious yet budget-friendly choice that doesn’t compromise on build quality or essential gaming features.
