NuPhy - Halo75 V2 QMK/VIA Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

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… 😵‍💫😓

Impressive Nuphy set of keyboards! Must say that I love the quality of my Air75v2 and the Halo75v2. The Air75v2 was my first keyboard after years and years typing on Logitech MX keyboards. That triggered me into the hobby. A lot happened in 1.5 years.. I got 12 keyboards now and prefer regular mechanical keyboards over low profile ones and moved from deep thocky to clack... Favorite now is my Neo65CU. I've taken a break from buying more... but you never now what comes along next ;)

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.

I have the Halo75. I love the thing. I have the Lemon switches, so a bit of a tactile bump, but it’s still pretty quiet. I use it to connect to my desktop, MacBook Pro, and work laptop, and it switches between them via Bluetooth very reliably. Factor in the hot-swappable switches, and I get the feeling I’ll be using this thing for quite a while.

I have few from keychron and nuphy - all low-profile. I use them everyday home/office/livingroom and I do not even prefer one over the other, all of those are in ANSI layout and this is my preference, got the red switches for, like how tactile those are. I also have Logi MX keys but in local layot and just because of it I do not like it, other than that it is also fine. As for connection - I have the dedicated adapter, BT and cable, depending on the setup - I see no difference in response times while typing or gaming. As for RGB - I apriciate it only in livingroom while watching movies. Oter than that I do not care, I do not look on the keyboard while typing. From wow side - nuphy is much more eye-catching, I got many positive comments about it while using in the office. If you configure something - make sure to have the shine-through key caps, the "behing keys" backlight is rubbish. For config, VIA software - whatever - I never cared about it, function lock was always there, never needed anything more. Except for nuphy v2 - I had to set it,as was F keys by default, but easily done with browser plugin and VIA software, I think it is unified. If you need macros etc - all is linux compatible (except logi - this I have no idea), As for your question: "The best Gaming Keyboard to buy for Gamers now?" I nmy opinion there is nothing like "gaming keyboard". Keyboards can be good or bad. Good keyboard is good for gaming and typing, bad is bad for everything xD

I used to use Nuphy for a while (specifically Nuphy Halo75) which I recommend from my experience with it. The keyboard is durable and supports hot-swapping, and the lights look pretty slick. Might be biased though since it was my first real keyboard, but just a lil something to consider. Wooting is REALLY good though

I don't think that fits in your criteria in term of switch and/or size but I had a Nuphy wireless before and it worked with no issue at all (although the battery on it isn't great, had to charge it like every week, sometimes more). I've switched to an 8bitdo keyboard now, same, works no issue out of the box but this one has a beast of a battery...I think I've charged it maybe 4 times? And I bought it in october last year.

With a hotswap board, it is fairly easy; you can change the entire keyboard in probably 15 minutes. But you have to be gentle because you can accidentally bend pins or at worse damage the PCB underneath. But I do encourage you to have a look at what's available; r/MechanicalKeyboards have a lot of examples and people who can give you advice. Not long ago, I scrapped my gaming keyboard for a Nuphy Halo V2... it's feels really good not to be held hostage by buggy gaming software anymore (at least for the keyboard. I've not found a suitable alternative for the mouse).

I've a halo 75 v2 and it's great, but I don't think they make full-sized ones.

Mine is positively halo 75 v2 and I've had no issues with it whatsoever with KDE.

Anyone can recommend me 75% keyboard that is good for gaming and StarCraft? Some of my considerations: - Wobkey Rainy 75 with Kailh Cocoa Switches (not sure if I like this gap next to functions keys) - nuphy halo75 v2 with Mint Switches - Keychron K2 HE with Magnetic Nebula Switches But are they actually good for gaming? I have a pretty old Keychron K2 with Gateron brown switches which I like, but I need replacement. HE sounds like safe bet? Nuphy seems tempting option, got some easy to press switches. I don't like TKL layout or cherry switches Thanks

Yeah, that's why I like my Keychron K2 more than TKL. Ordered halo 75 v2 with Mint Switches. Purely due to how they sound, and I want to try out linear switches for gaming. But it should be ok for typing too. Probably will keep K2 for work/typing as Gateron brown are tractle HE keyboards sound weird to me or even annoying
