| Skip if , different | People who want full-height MX-style switch feel Buyers who want to use Kailh Choc switches Anyone who needs backlit legends without swapping keycaps Buyers looking for the cheapest wireless option | Modders who want VIA or QMK People who want to open the board easily Buyers who want deep software control |
| Pros , different | Low-profile switches with about 75 to 80 percent of the travel of full-height switches, per Tom's Hardware 2.4GHz at 1000Hz polling, which Tom's Hardware could not tell apart from wired in a shooter Up to 220 hours of battery with lights off per NuPhy, and 35 to 57 hours with all lights on Double-shot PBT keycaps and pre-lubed switches, both praised by Tom's Hardware QMK/VIA remapping with eight layers (Tom's Hardware) Mac/Windows switch with alternate keycaps, and AirFeet that let it sit on top of a laptop Four spare switches and seven spare keycaps in the box (NuPhy) | Gasket mount with five layers of dampening that Gizmochina found made typing quiet Hot-swap sockets and factory-lubed linear switches (Aula) Tri-mode wireless, with IGN reporting flawless 2.4 GHz 4,000 mAh battery, with IGN lasting more than a week with RGB at full Double-shot PBT Cherry-profile keycaps (Gizmochina, Prime Audio) Sturdy build with little flex (Gizmochina, Prime Audio) |
| Cons , different | Only Gateron low-profile (KS-33) switches fit; Kailh Choc switches do not The flat keycap profile takes an hour or two to adjust to, and a palm rest is not included Bluetooth polling is 125Hz; use 2.4GHz or USB-C for low latency VIA limits macros and static lighting scenes (Tom's Hardware) The stock keycaps are not backlit, so most of the light comes from the side bars Creative Bloq found the 75% layout a little cramped coming from full-size, and not the cheapest | Hard to disassemble and no VIA or QMK support (IGN) IGN found no leaf-spring mount despite the marketing, only silicone tabs around a polycarbonate plate Keycaps are not very thick, giving a clackier sound (IGN) Esc-side LED strip only blinks white and uses battery (IGN) Software is limited (Tech4Gamers) and IGN could not find any ABS plastic case (Aula) |
| Research take , different | A thin, light, well-reviewed low-profile 75% that suits portability and multi-device work. Tom's Hardware gave it an Editor's Choice award as one of the best low-profile mechanical keyboards, and Creative Bloq called it a high-quality, attractive choice. The compromises are a flat keycap profile, Gateron-only low-profile switch compatibility and a price above basic rivals. If you want full-height switches, look elsewhere. | A well-reviewed budget gasket board that gets praise for sound and value. Expect limited software and hard disassembly. |
