The NuPhy Halo75 V2 is a wireless 75% mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting, gasket mounting, and QMK/VIA support, offering up to 307 hours of battery life via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, or USB-C.
Reviewers mostly praise the NuPhy Halo75 V2 for its typing feel and sound, calling the tactile switches solid and the acoustics creamy or marbly. It shines as a customizable 75% wireless board with QMK/VIA support, a striking RGB design, and a durable frame, making it a great value for enthusiasts. However, some users hit snags with Bluetooth/2.4G connectivity, the NuPhy IO software failing to detect the board, and keycaps wearing smooth after a few months, so it's not flawless for everyone.
