    now you can use via on Windows Mac and Linux to reprogram remap add your Macros do whatever you need to do so that's great

    in general good out of the box sound

  • Connectivity & Battery-5 pts

    the receiver is larger than the original it's actually it's deeper and this cutout isn't big enough for it when you put it in there it sticks out a little bit

The Nuphy Halo96 V2 A Total Disaster

  • Software & Customization-1 pts

    I'm a Mac user and the kbd supports Mac, but last I checked I had to download Windows specifically to update firmware because I was having an issue.

  • Connectivity & Battery-1 pts

    you are completely right about the firmware being garbage compared to this otherwise beautiful keyboard.

    the keyboard can only be found in VIA.

Nuphy Halo96 V2 Noob Question

  • Layout & Comfort-1 pts

    I've noticed that with the current Raspberry switches, I make a ton of typing mistakes. It's probably a mix of the compact layout of the keyboard

  • Design, Lighting & Controls+1 pts

    I've got a Halo96 V2 and it's a gorgeous piece of hardware.

  • Sound+5 pts

    it has a very melodic sound while typing out the work emails that adds a musical feel while tapping away

  • Layout & Comfort-5 pts

    because the newy has crammed the keyboard into such a small profile the zero key is a normalized key and it sits just below the number two key

    Only the IO version will connect to NuphyIO. Otherwise, you need to use VIA and you'll need to download the proper .json file into VIA.
