Nuphy air60 on review

I did not think that there was a lot of space for more “first world” in the world of game keyboards, especially since in the last few years we have seen ridiculous innovations. Everything from the survey speed of 8000 Hz to the key switches Hall effect, which have adjustable startup points and brisk trigger, have become a golden standard in recent years.

It seems that the boutique brand Nupha made me without a word with the latest keyboard, Air60, he. The fact is that it is a low -profile keyboard with a hall effect switches. That’s right, the low profile hall effect keyboard, which is the first world. This itself is impressive, considering that you will get the speed and adaptation of the Hall’s effect with physically shorter low -profile keyboard switches.

If Nuphy plays his cards well, it can only be one of the most castles and the best game keyboards.

And play your cards well. Air60 not only uses only Hall’s effect switches, but from the fact that there is support for a quick trigger to such an extent that you can have a start and reset point 0.01 mm. This is one of the most diabolical settings I’ve ever seen on the game keyboard. You can usually reach up to 0.1 mm, so you can go even higher, so you literally have to breathe to the transition to act, it is absurd.

This translates into some of the most closed and most responsive experiences in counteracting 2 I’ve ever met, especially from a low -profile keyboard. The point is that I haven’t even moved other settings that can be found in a delicate but powerful Nuphy.io configuration. And believe me, it is Very To go here.

Air60 has similar fun, although very broken, SOCD TECH as Wooting 80HE and Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL in the form of the “last key priority” mode, which allows you to activate one key, while holding the other for the other brisk actions. In this case, it works based on the latest pressed; For example, if it is mapped to the A and D keys, it can allow unnaturally brisk movement on the side.

It can also work on the basis of other conditions, for example which key when you right -click a specific key in the software. You can even block the key starting so that they don’t have to store the key. For example, you can map him to W Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na NA SPECIAL CONTROLLING Walking.

In addition, the Air60 also has TAP MOD mode, so you can assign functions to the key based on how it is pressed – whether it is pressed or fully – and even assigned to four functions on one key. In addition, there is also a clever innovation called Hyper Tap, which I have not seen on the other effects of Hall, brisk liberating keyboards. This starts the second entrance when you release the key, unlike the next stop, which is really clever. Potentially it can be a way to move the thorny edition of SOCD-Tech, which was banned in Counter-Strike 2, although I did not feel brave enough to test it online.

These types of functions can have a concrete difference in such as CS2, in which I decided to test the Air60 on Siet Gaming. They are useless in addition to single -player matches. With this in mind, it still became clear about the speed offered, and SOCD technology provided me with the possibility of particularly rapid movement on the side, despite my less than the average level of skill. In addition, the Hyper Tap mode provided an intriguing benefit from the possibility of walking and squatting with one key, which became useful if I wanted a better position for sninging enemies from afar.

The inclusion of all this technology is perhaps more for marketing bumpf and the specification sheet than for its actual usefulness, taking into account the likelihood of it that it can be found in competitive games. However, this does not stop the Air60 from providing one of the easiest to operate, but the most powerful software, all contained in the web browser. You can also operate it to program macros and playing RGB lighting for heart content.

My AIR60 sample is a slightly more steep variant that is equipped with low -profile GATHERON PRO PRO Double Hall switches. They are a linear option 40 GZ of total 3.5 mm travel and are full pump and factory, so feel particularly polished under your finger, and create some of the most snapping switches that I used in a low -profile game keyboard, especially with all good goodness Hall. You can also get it with non-PRO switches for savings in the amount of USD 20, which are 10 g lighter, which probably makes them even brisal.

I am also impressed by the overall fit and finish of the Air60, with entertaining gray and purple colorful, with strange scientific keys of the right and translucent finish on them. This is certainly a different style than many major game keyboards that I have met in recent years and looks wonderful. The combination of an aluminum upper housing and a plastic bottom housing makes this plate solid, without flexibility or creaks about it. There are also several layers of foam and damping, which in combination called lubricated switches make Air60 sound fantastic.

Not knowing that it was a fully wired keyboard, you can also forgive that Air60 has some form of wireless communication, taking into account the selector switch on the back. This is not a choice between communication modes, but instead of choosing a profile in which you want to be a keyboard. M1 is intended for games, M2 is for Windows, and M3 is intended for computer operate, although they can be adjusted in the software.

It occurs in a tiny area of ​​60 % of the system, which has long favored professionals, and understand why, taking into account the number of real estate on the desk that you recover for vast, sweeping mice movements that would not be so simple in the case of a larger keyboard. However, you make a few sacrifices, such as the function of poems, NAV cluster and arrow keys. In the case of games, it was completely fine for me, although I reached for a slightly larger keyboard for office work.

Then the value for money is perceived here. Air60 ON, from Pro switches inside, sells for 140 USD. This is a fantastic value in relation to Wooting 60HE+, which costs almost twice a fully non -standard variant, i.e. 45 USD more for the pre -built option with a plastic housing. You gain analogue switch’s powers, although at the expense of some of the effects of “knocking” Zwrir, which the AIR60 offers, and of course the inclusion of low profile switches.

The Nuphy choice is competitive in relation to Kechron K2, it also fits its price. Here, the difference lies in the “full height” switches, which lack some more advanced Air60 HE, fully aluminum (or wooden stressed) housing and wireless connectivity. What he lacks power, he compensates for convenience.

However, I do not think that these two options offer the same convincing package as Air60, at least from a pure power and speed perspective, especially as the first low -profile keyboard in the world. If that sounds good, it has a mighty recommendation.
