The media could not be loaded. So this keyboard is actually better than I expected. I have a few keyboards but this is by far my favorite so far. Grant it, it is the most expensive of my keyboards and I can't wait to compare to the Razer I plan to get soon, but my honest opinion on this keyboard is nothing less than OUTSTANDING!! Like it's solid as hell, and I mean it's got some weight to it. It does not feel flimsy at all, and the components aren't rattling at all if you shake it. It's got a nice metal feel to since it is made of Aluminum. It has a high quality plastic casing on the bottom half of the keyboard so that the RGB shines through. Also, it's cool that it comes with Mac specific caps but also the Windows specific caps, so you get to choose which to use. Since this is mainly for my Mac, I will use the Mac specific caps. Also came with one cute cat key cap that I used in place of the ESC button. And they also sent three switches for their three colors for this Halo brand board. So the Lemon, which I chose, then Mint, and finally the Raspberry. I used the three different switches on my board just for those moments that I was to hear the difference. The difference, by the way, is very slight, in my opinion. The video I made doesn't do it justice. You can look on youtube for more sound tests for these three switches. I think I will try the Mint next though. I was struggling between Mint and Lemon and went with lemon based on reviews. I love the sound sooooo much. The sound paired with the smooth key strokes, is just next level.I haven't fully messed with the RGB yet, but I love it so far. I will say that, it's not as bright as one of my RK Royal Kludge 75 keyboards, but it's still pretty awesome. Also, I got the Blue keyboard so I think that affects the visibility of the RGB a bit. But still, great. You can change the key caps to something you like that may help to enhance the RGB a bit as well since the blue of the keyboard kind of drowns it out. Its still very bright, but there's just so little spacing between the keys, that lights has a difficult time escaping. A white keyboard would have definitely helped to illuminate the RGB more but still very good good and bright and, again, you can swap the caps if you wanted to. Not an issue for me since the rest is so great. The keystrokes themselves feel like butter when typing and has a pleasant "tock" sound to them. I mean it feels and sounds (if that's even possible) like butter. So smooth. Even my BF noticed immediately the sound and was so satisfied by listening to me type. The best part really is the feel of the board. It's just feels so high quality and it's heavy and of course, the way the keys feel when typing is just soooo addicting. You will love it.I got this specifically for my MAC M4 Pro. I have a Windows PC too with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF. But I also like Mac products so I got one but I hate the magic keyboard so much. I just didn't want to waste money on it. So I was in the market for keyboard that is tailored towards Mac and after some research I found this one being the best third party keyboard for Mac and it definitely has exceeded my expectations. So glad I got this. I was going to only use it for my Mac but now I am using it for both my Windows and Mac. It has key configurations for both and has settings that allow you to change it between bluetooth, wired. So I leave it wired for Window and enable the Window switch, and then when I use my Mac I just enable the Mac switch and select the bluetooth key I see for it. You can setup 4 different bluetooth items to it, so thats cool. The bluetooth wasn't great with my Windows tho, so I prefer the wired for Windows. The bluetooth has been fantastic with Mac though.All in all, just wanted to leave a review to express my gratitude for this keyboard. I am very pleased with it and will definitely be buying from Nuphy again. I want the Sakura board next time. This time it was out and I didn't want to wait for longer shipping with their website. But next time I'll get that. Maybe i'll get the 75 keyboard instead. I love my number pads though.Thank you for reading!

Everything expressed here is my personal opinion.I've been a fan of custom keyboards for some time. I've built my own, lubed switches and everything so I have a basic understanding of what makes a good keyboard.If you're a gamer or just want a keyboard with a Premium feel, this keyboard is the way to go. I believe it easily beats big "Gaming" keyboard brands like Razer, steelseries, corsair, and other gaming keyboard makers.The keyboard has a great sound and feel. *thocc* The switches are Hot-swappable which is great if you want to change it up. I've had my keyboard for about a week now and haven't needed to charge it once.I'm pleased with Nuphy's product and will have this keyboard for a LONG time. I get the numpad I love without having a keyboard take up my entire desk space. The keyboard is also lighter than I expected while still feeling very premium. The Keyboard is Bluetooth compatible as advertised but also comes with a dongle which is great. I didn't know if it would. The USB C to A cable it comes with isn't braided so don't expect that. There are tons of hotkeys to change your lighting and check your battery levels so a little reading is required if you want to get full use.My only complaint is that the software you can download for the keyboard isn't working quite yet but this could be user error and doesn't warrant any negative review in my opinion.TLDR: It's an amazing keyboard with a nice *THOCC* 5/5 stars

Bought with the mint switches.Sound of the switches when typing is very good with good responsive and ease of pressing.The brightness of the RGB is much more than the version 1 Nuphy Halo 96.The build of the keyboard is better and controls the sound quality much better when swapping to other switches.In terms of connectivity, wired in connection remains as efficient as the first version while the Bluetooth dongle connectivity last for a bit longer than the original.Overall, if you are looking for a full size keyboard with the number pad it is a good product.For some, it is a little steep in keycap/board design, therefore if curling fingers is a bit of an issue, than it may be worth considering getting a low profile keyboard like a Lofee or a Nuphy Air 96.

I bought the Halo96V2 in both black and white for me and my partner back in December 2024 and both keyboards ending up randomly remapping the keys on its own on a random workday. We used these keyboards 5 days a week for about 9-10 hours at a time.Every time I’d hit the backspace key it would prompt it to “screenshot” and not erase any of my keys. When I press the 2 key on the top row (not the numpad) it would automatically add Greek letters after it. I’ve heard on Reddit that Nuphy’s software is extremely buggy and any firmware updates would prompt the keyboard to shut down entirely or worsen the issues.Spend your money elsewhere. I wouldn’t have expected this product to give out within 6-7 months of use. I spent over $300 for both of these boards for my partner and I.The software is inconsistent and buggy on its own and cannot be fixed even with a simple reset. The product itself is built well and we enjoyed the typing experience, but overall, Nuphy’s products are absolutely horrible. Reliability is not a thing with Nuphy. Definitely do your research and see what others are saying too, especially in Reddit.
