> 3 dayI have had my eye on the Halo65 for a little bit now and the more I watched and read about it, the more confident I was knowing I wouldn’t regret it. I was fortunate enough to snag this beauty with the Baby Kangaroo switches during the Black Friday sale before they sold out and I am more than impressed. The initial sound and feel of the keyboard out of the box is what I would imagine people in this hobby aim for and for someone like me, it’s absolutely perfect. The high quality pbt caps feel nice to the touch and the pre-lubed switches are smooth, poppy, and sound excellent. The top of the case is aluminum while the bottom is a sturdy plastic and they filled this bad boy full of silicone so the dampening is real! My favorite feature is the space bar dampener. Goodbye bandaid mod that half worked. Oh and rattle, who? The rgb is nice and easy to customize. They include a cool poster with all of the fn inputs and combinations on the back to customize the board to your liking and change other settings such as mac or windows mode. You can connect the board through Bluetooth, wired (nice quality braided cord included), or 2.4g dongle and the dongle can click right into the side of the board when not being used so you don’t lose it! Lastly, they provide you with a small assortment of switches for you to test out as well as some extra keycaps for you to take the customization even further! I personally opted for the night breeze switch in the space bar because I thought it felt the smoothest. You can tell they really put thought and effort into making this quality board and it’s almost unreal for the price. I highly recommend to anybody looking for a solid prebuilt!

> 3 dayThis board is kinda hard to customize with all the screws but out of the box this sounds and feels very nice. The downside to this product is nuphy software it doesn’t launch but rather than that I would say this and keychron are solid options

> 3 dayI was not familiar with mechanical gaming keyboards and PBT keycaps until I got the chance to try out this one. The keyboard is battery operated and I have not had to charge it since the initial time. I am really impressed with the quality of the keyboard and it has a soft tactile feel to it, which is exactly what I like. I used the keyboard on a Windows PC, and they provided specific keys for the Windows OS, which is nice. You can connect the keyboard via cable, BT, or 2.4GHz wireless. I tested it with a cable connection and a BT connection without any issues. I am primarily using it for work and not gaming. I find myself wanting to use it more often, as I like how the keys and response feels. I had no idea that keyboards had gotten so fancy and complicated. The quality build of this keyboard is superb, in my opinion. Give it a try if it fits your needs!

> 3 dayThe 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-White (Gateron Brown Switches) This is a customizable mechanical keyboard, with hot swapable caps, and switches. Full RGB per key backlight with inside and outside halo full RGB ring. You can choose your switches when ordering, I received the Gateron Brown, which sound really nice to me, and feel amazing. They are a bit quieter than another keyboard I have with blue switches that are a lot clickier and louder. The build quality over all is amazing, with an aluminum Top case and heavy ABS bottom. My wife commented on how great it looks and she thought the Halo ring was awesome. I think she wants her own now. It has always been so hard to find truly great Mac compatible keyboards, finally we are starting to see some, and this is the best Ive yet seen. Out of the box its amazing, and you can customize it until your hearts content. Now I am not a mechanical keyboard expert by any stretch. Im a beginner for sure, But this blew my mind, Especially as someone who uses both Mac and PC. This is perfect for me and a truly premium feeling and looking piece of kit. I am truly in love. I love looking at it, I love using it. It feels quality and premium and looks it too. I recommend this if you want something great out of the box, or a great starter platform to play with switches and keycaps.

> 3 dayit 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.

> 3 dayIll normally begin modifying a keyboard right out of the box; lubing and filming switches, foaming cases and top plates, tape mods, etc. to make them feel and sound better... This keyboard was such an enjoyable experience right out of the box, its the first time Ive actually just left the keyboard exactly how it was. The ghost bar is absolutely amazing sounding. I got the model with baby kangaroo switches, theyre easily the best feeling tactile switches Ive ever used. The bump is right at the top, and even unlubed or filmed theyre really good feeling. Maybe Ill lube/film them one day, but as of now Im finding myself typing more than ever, beating my typing speed records, and just being generally content with this rig. I use it wirelessly about 75% of the time, and the connectivity seems solid. A lot of the time lately Im using a tv as a monitor and sitting across the room, having zero issues. In the mechanical keyboard hobby, this is a budget or entry level keyboard. When you compare this to every other budget/entry offering, this keyboard does it all better in my opinion. If thats what youre looking for, save your keychron or RKS money and buy one of these. The 75% and 94% are live on NuPhys website, but if youre in the market for a 65% I would get it from amazon for the simple return option if its not for you or if something did happen to be wrong with your keyboard. Also: if youre a tactile switch person: get the baby kangaroo switches. If youre a linear switch person: get the baby raccoon. Easily worth the $10 upgrade over the browns or reds. Nuphy did send demos of their glacier switches, which felt super nice, but for me, the baby kangaroos are the real winner.

> 3 dayThis thing is heavy. Really heavy. I guess that means its built well. It certainly feels like its built well at least. Mine came with three space bars. One was just kind of floating in the box by itself. If you are accustomed to the usual cherry MX switches, this is going to feel a little odd. Typing on this doesnt really have the nice click clack of most mechanical keyboards, but it doesnt have the squishy feel of a membrane keyboard. It feels like typing on something soft that smacks into something hard. Its...different. Not really bad, just different. I still havent figured out how to use the function keys. I thought it would be as simple as pressing the function button and the associated key, but that does nothing. That could be a driver issue, I guess. All I did with this was plug it in and start using it.

> 3 dayThis is my first pre-built custom keyboard and I have to say I am very impressed. Its heavy, feels like quality and the price was great on sale! I have the version with the night breeze switches and they are awesome, so smooth and buttery. This keyboard sounds and feels sooo creamy. Also, I saw a review where the guy said that the windows key is in the wrong spot and needs an update. Hes wrong, he just forgot to put it in Windows mode as it comes shipped in Mac mode. You have to do some key presses to put it in the right configuration. Once you change that, the keys are in the correct order. 10/10 would recommend if youre starting to get into customs.
