NuPhy has taken a radical approach to Halo96s design language. A band of light, the Halo, forms the central piece that unites the solid unibody aluminum frame, first seen on a fully assembled keyboard, with the laser-polished ABS base. Enhancing both the grip and the sense of height, the base's wavy, Ionic column inspired side brings vibrancy to the minimalist, achromatic aluminum frame, available in wear-resistant anodized matte black and elctrophoresis-coated ionic white.
Seven switches of different types are included in the package to facilitate users to find the most suitable switch and feel, and serve as a backup switch to prevent damage to individual switches. There are also 18 additional keycaps, which can be replaced according to your preference.
Designed for pros and heavy hitters, Halo96 packs the firepower that can deliver on your most demanding tasks. From the cap to the coating, from the actuator to the damper, we push the envelope on wireless mechanical keyboard technology, and fine tune every component to create a typing experience that has never been experienced before.
At NuPhy we are always about minimizing delays. Be it pairing with a new set-up on the road, multitasking between up to 4 different Mac/Windows devices, or heavy-duty editing and gaming which push a connections responsiveness to the limit, with its seamless tri-mode connection integration, perfect dual-OS support and 4000mAh built-in battery that can sustain 205 hours (all lights off) of continuous use, Halo96 is always there when you need it, and gets out of the way the moment thoughts start to flow from your
fingertips.
Elevating the game of native dual-OS support, we have been updating and fine-tuning the multimedia keys layout and function for MacOS/Windows on our keyboards to reflect the newest developments from OS vendors, including the implementation of shortcuts for Apple's dedicated Spotlight and Dictation keys in Halo96s Mac mode. We will continue to find more ways, and shortcuts, to bring extra values to our users on the software side.
Supervising every detail in not just design but manufacturing, Night Breeze (linear) and Rose Glacier (tactile) represent the results of our innovative process to create switches imbued with pleasant touch, sound, and NuPhy-ness. Both come with stems made from polyketone, a next generation high performance polymer with tremendously improved elastic limit, higher durability and oil resistance than commonly used POM material. Together with the extra-length stem design, the POK material is instrumental to enable a crisp and satisfying sound feedback for the new key switches. The 21mm spring plays as important a role in achieving the balance between good tactile feedback and comfort as the stem does for the sound feedback, while the pre-lubing process ensures the NuPhy experience is instantly available the moment you receive your switches.
