NuPhy - Halo65 HE Magnetic Switch Gaming Keyboard

My haloe 65 he is awesome. I use it for my laptop and i plan on getting the 75 field he. I got the jade pro keys. Sound and feels soooo good

there are better built keyboards out there that are cheaper and are HE. take the NuPhy Halo 65 HE, way better build, pre-built and comes with a metal case and sounds better, but the only thing dragging it back is the software.

For 100€ take the Nuphy halo 65 he

I really enjoyed the Nuphy Halo 65 HE. Get the jade pro switches, they are worth it.

i made a mistake with a link. It's had a affiliate link. If you want the best, in keyboard, it's Hall effect with proper software support. That mean Woothing, Nuphy, Iquinix and MelGeek most of thier best are at 200-300 cad. The cheapest i know is the NuPhy Halo65. As it's a 65% keyboard. For mouse, its Rtings rating, only the G305 lightspeed enter somewhere in your combined total budget. The mouse pad is also an important part of the performance of the mouse. Must not cheap out on that.

Note that normally the G305 is often in sale at 30-40 buck. May worth waiting a bit. There is currently a decent deal on the Razer Basilick V3 Hyperspeed.

As a fellow Kiwi, I would recommend the Nuphy Halo 65 HE

Picked this up and for $20 this is a insane value keyboard. Switches alone is worth the whole keyboard price. My rainy75 stabs started ticking and wanted to try a new keyboard with different switches. Epomaker hate or not I'm totally impressed for $20. Actually I like it more than my Nuphy Halo65.

I think I have you beat: - Kick 75 low & high profile - Halo 65 black & white - Halo 75 v2 blue - Halo 96 v2 black & white - Air 60 v2 black & white - Air 75 v2 white - Air 75 v3 white That’s just the Nuphy boards… 😵‍💫😓

Definitely go with magnetic switch keyboard there are plenty now that are very affordable [https://www.hlplanet.com/keyboards-hall-effect-switches/](https://www.hlplanet.com/keyboards-hall-effect-switches/) I use Nuphy Halo65 HE which I got for $100 and it's great

The best keyboard for Starcraft is Nuphy Halo. Clem and Cure use it. It's good because there are no gaps between the function keys. 

TMR is supposed to be the best from a technical standpoint, but I don't think anyone can actually notice a difference in accuracy... As for a combination of good features, fast response times, and good build quality, look at NuPhy, Iqunix, and Keychron/Lemokey (there's only one Lemokey keyboard with 8 kHz polling, but that's also marketing wank IMO). The only reason I hesitate to recommend a wooting to anyone is because they can't be used as "daily drivers" by a lot of people because of the lack of onboard macros.

Not really. The NuPhy keyboards will feel a little stiffer compared to the 80HE. Both will require mods to sound truly good. Just different mods. The Iqunix HE boards are pretty solid across the board aside from the software being a little less intuitive and polished. Keychron and Lemokey's wireless HE boards are all limited to 1 kHz polling, but you'll NEVER notice 1 kHz vs 8 kHz in a keyboard. There's one Lemokey board that's 8 kHz. I think the L5 HE (?) but that's also only wired lol. The biggest drawback with Keychron/Lemokey HE boards is that they're only compatible with Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic switches (and unofficially, the switches that the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE uses). So that's a downside if you wanted to try other switches. But those Gateron switches are decent. The rest (stuff like build quality, keycaps, sound, and feel) all match or surpass Wooting.

I even Think the Software beats Wootility in Features and Possibilities. I would say: 1. NuPhyIO is the best, only lacking analog mode which is mainly used for racing games but I prefer a Controller aniways 2. Chillkey is my second place, lacking an Implementation of Rappy Snappy, Analog mode and Continious RT. (Tachyon Modes missing too, but I really don't think it's a noticeable difference) 3. Wootility comes at a close third. In looks its defenetly better than the chillkey one, but I couldnt find features like Deadzones, Macros and Hypertap which I think are more important than the things Chilkey's Software doesn't have. Personal preferance though.

MX keys mechanical is good if you want a low profile board. I tried nuphy and really wanted to like it but it wasn’t for me. Still would recommend, it was very high quality and a very nice keyboard, we just weren’t a match. My daily drivers now are a royal kludge S98 for my work computer, and their southpaw version L98 for my personal computer. The pros are it was the only mechanical southpaw I could find that was reasonably priced, cons are that it doesn’t play well with Mac’s.

For typing feel exclusively, the best is lofree flow. I am selling my Nuphy because of this despite the flaws with lofree.

I think the Bluetooth connection isn’t great. That’s the major downfall and takes a while to wake up. So I end up having it wired the entire time and that’s fine for me. I still think it’s great. If you want a better overall version except it’s not aluminum then the kickstarter lite version is the one you should get.
