Quick verdict

The NuPhy Halo75 is NuPhy's full-specification wireless keyboard — aluminum gasket mount, tri-mode wireless, VIA support, a rotary knob, and hot-swap PCB in a standard-profile 75% layout. It addresses the one gap the Air75 V2 has (standard rather than low-profile switches) and delivers everything most enthusiasts want in a wireless board.

Pros

  • Aluminum gasket mount
  • Tri-mode wireless — 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, USB-C wired
  • VIA support for full remapping
  • Rotary knob for volume and custom functions
  • Hot-swap 5-pin PCB
  • Standard profile switches — full aftermarket compatibility

Cons

  • More expensive than the Air75 V2
  • Wired-only alternatives offer better value if you don't need wireless
  • Heavier than low-profile alternatives
  • NuPhy has less community documentation than Keychron
  • Some units report gasket inconsistency

Who it's for

The Halo75 is for the user who wants everything — wireless freedom, gasket mount cushioning, VIA customization, switch flexibility, and a rotary knob — in a single 75% keyboard. It's the wireless enthusiast board that doesn't ask you to compromise on features.

Build & design

The aluminum case is the foundation of the Halo75's premium feel. At 1.2kg it's lighter than the Keychron Q1 but still substantial. The gasket mount adds the characteristic cushioned typing feel, and the rotary knob implementation is smooth and well-integrated. Fit and finish are good throughout, with no obvious quality shortcuts.

Typing experience

Standard-profile switches give the Halo75 full aftermarket switch compatibility — unlike the Air75 V2's low-profile-only options. Gateron G Pro switches ship with the board and perform well. The gasket mount softens and warms the sound profile regardless of switch choice. VIA lets you remap any key if the default layout needs adjustment, and the 2.4GHz wireless mode keeps latency low for responsive typing.

Software & customization

VIA support means full open-source keyboard customization — no proprietary software required. Every key is remappable via browser-based VIA, with full layer support. Wireless connectivity is managed onboard via key combinations documented in the manual.

The verdict

The NuPhy Halo75 is the wireless enthusiast keyboard for users who want standard-profile switches, a rotary knob, and VIA support. It covers the complete feature list more thoroughly than most wireless boards at comparable prices. If wireless freedom and enthusiast features matter equally, this is the board to consider.
