nuphy Halo65 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with PBT Keycaps, 65% RGB Hot-swap Wireless Keyboard, Supports Bluetooth、2.4G and Wired Connection，Compatible with Mac and Windows-Black(Baby Raccoon Switch)

Over the last couple of months I’ve tried numerous mechanical keyboards and none of them hold a candle to the out of the box (stock) experience of the Halo65. It’s solidly built, with strong RGB and a great typing angle. You’ll be hard pressed to find similar value out of the box from other keyboards.

it looks exactly the same as the product pictures. I love the switch soooooooo much, the typing sound is what I am looking for all the time. The keycaps are also so well made. (I bought this keyboard because I bought the nuphy air75 low profile one before, that one is great, thats why I chose nuphy again when looking for a full mechanical keyboard). Bluetooth works perfectly. however, one thing is this keyboard is much heavier than I expected, will make it less portable, better to leave it at home. I will not carry it around, so it is okay for me. Overall, I am really satisfied with this keyboard, and feel it worths the money and time. There is highly chance that I will buy another keyboard if nuphy has new keyboard release in the future.

I bought this directly from Nuphy for about $10 cheaper and it took a week to arrive. I ordered the white with Night Shade key switches. I did not get the shine thru keycaps. This is probably the best prebuilt you can get under $150. The only serious contender would be Keychron which are more budget friendly, have more options for layout, but not as flashy as this one. I own a Keychron Q9 (40%) and Q2(60%) and they are very solid. But for aesthetics, they are not as nice. Also, this being wireless is a plus and it has a neat way of storing the dongle in the keyboard. The RGB is very beautiful. With the white board and keycaps, it looks very clean. The night shade switches are linear and are really nice and smooth. They are factory lubed and they are very consistent. The actuation and bottom out is very good for both typing and gaming. There is a lot of attention to detail on the keyboard and they are nice enough to give you a few sample switches for red, black, and the kangaroo green. I feel like the kangaroo green are a little pingy. It also came with a high quality switch puller and keycap remover. I have only 2 complaints. One is I wish this was VIA combatable, and I have no idea if you can reprogram the keys. Big bummer. Second complaint is that the keyboard has the windows button twice! First off, the first windows key that is on the left of the keyboard is in the wrong spot. Typically, it is found in between the CTRL and ALT buttons. Nope, on this keyboard they decided to give you, from left to right, CTRL, ALT, then WIN. Then going further, space bar, and then WIN KEY AGAIN! And for some reason that keycap is ALT. Hopefully they release a firmware update to address this.

The keyboard came with some switches being different than the ones I ordered as you can see in the images the blue switches also the keyboard is supposed to come with a set of different switches to try them out but as you can see from the images a lot of them are the same and from looking at unboxing reviews they came with the wrong switches. Honestly the keyboard seem like it might have been used it had some white marks on it right out of the box maybe a return that was resold. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to resolve this issue with Amazon so I guess just take that into consideration when order. So far though I will say it does seem like the one and done type of keyboard has some good weight to it and sounds nice not super thocky it’s more like the pinballs type of sound it’s a bit more quite. Compared to the Keychron k6 it feels heavier and sounds less hallow. The k6 didn’t sound hallow or bad to me before using the Halo65 but after using it I can definitely tell it has a lot done from factory to it to give it its sound. I wish it had more of a thocky sound but still sounds pretty good none of the less I would recommend it.

I’ve always been very particular about things like the build quality and acoustics of my keyboards. I’m *very* impressed with both of those aspects of this offering from NuPhy. They really hit it out of the park with the Halo65. Out of the box as a prebuilt this stands up there with entry level custom boards that cost about $150 more at least and it’s hot swappable so you can throw your favorite flavor of switch onto it and hit the ground running. Any time this board is available to purchase on Amazon as opposed to being shipped from China when purchased from NuPhy directly, jump on it. You won’t be disappointed in the slightest.
