[@dmitrijluka8975]

man I love the 75% layout, it’s just so much better for workflow.

[@TristanPope]

Samzies!

[@Matt-gf4gd]

What do you do for work that requires F keys all day?

[@TristanPope]

@Matt-gf4gd formula 1 racer.

[@NazarPavlov-p3v]

Love the upgrades from the 60HE, especially the layout. 🔥

[@TristanPope]

Me too!

[@надеждашелюхина]

Bro, the LED fixes are a game-changer. NuPhy really listened! Thanks for fighting for us!

[@TristanPope]

Appreciate the kind words. Will always do my best!

[@_Denis_M_]

That software demo convinced me, NuPhy knows what they’re doing. Great f in software

[@TristanPope]

It is very good indeed!

[@ريدانالقادري-ظ8ه]

yo this thing looks sleek af, perfect for my desk setup.

[@TristanPope]

Yeah looks good for sure.

[@Miszel-l5k]

the sound profile on this is sooo smooth

[@TristanPope]

Yeah it's not too shabby

[@anamulhaque1894]

This feels like the perfect mix of gaming and productivity vibes.

[@TristanPope]

Def gaming not so much productivity.

[@ЛюдмилаБезверха]

Finally, a low-profile board that gets it right. nuuphy stepping up their game!

[@TristanPope]

I think they did good here!

[@mdsaimsohan5142]

dang, the sound on the 75HE is pretty good foir hall

[@TristanPope]

Yeah it isn't half bad!

[@ronka3920]

huh never woulda thought of the backspace beeing that material and sticking to the finger. nice catch!

[@TristanPope]

I didn't realize it until I actually used it!

[@СтаканчикНеколы]

“Anti-wobbliness stabilization” sounds fancy but does it actually work??

[@TristanPope]

Yeah I dunno, I still don't quite know what it does in actuality as I can't really test it very well.

[@earnwithfun3143]

big improvement from the 60HE wow

[@TristanPope]

INSANE difference.

[@ГригорийГоршков-ъ8ь]

not a fan of the feet issue, but the rest of the board is 🔥🔥🔥.

[@TristanPope]

yeah the feet make me crazy on EVERY nuPhy board.

[@Anna_k1k1]

bruh these stabilizers sound clean as hell-better than my $300 board.

[@TristanPope]

I think they may be better than some high end boards but the spacebar needs work still.

[@Vzh_]

Just bought the 60he 4 days ago

[@TristanPope]

/hug

[@snozbucket]

Damn I'm glad I found the post of them working on the 75HE, held out and prordered it. Lucky I didn't send it on the 60 lol.

[@TristanPope]

Saved by the review!

[@_Denis_M_]

You have a amazing personality!🐶❤️💙❤️💙❤️

[@TristanPope]

Oh, thank you! That's really nice of you.

[@abcdefgasdfg]

Can you see the legends in the dark when the backlight is on? Or only the edges of the keycaps

[@TristanPope]

Edges only.

[@Frozoken]

Man i wish the 80he had this exact form factor minus the low profile part. The fact that they managed to get the length to only 1cm more than the wooting 60he despite being a 75% is so insanely impressive. A form factor like this but with like an additional 1cm of vertical height for a volume wheel at the top would be my perfect layout honestly

[@TristanPope]

@@Frozoken I actually prefer TKL for the separated arrow keys but yeah this is a cool form factor for sure.

[@Frozoken]

@TristanPope i do like the exploded layout of tkl but i just think the 9 keys in the home cluster are redundant and you only need 4-7 of them because pause break doesn't even work now im pretty sure and scroll lock may not either. ins& pg up/down are also pretty niche

[@TristanPope]

@@Frozokendon’t do a lot of coding eh? ;)

[@Aaronxing]

Do you not recommend getting the Canopus Shine through keycaps they have to offer? I was going to purchase because I liked the uniform look of it but may just go with the base version instead, also would you say the Jade Pro’s are significantly better to justify the $20 increase? Thanks!

[@TristanPope]

I can’t answer the second question. I haven’t tried their version of the jades. So I just don’t know. But the jade pro normal switches are amazing so if they are like that in comparison yes. The shine through are nice actually. I would recommend them.

[@MrEvan1932]

The normal keycaps also come with opaque ones for a more uniform look if you don’t like the purple translucent ones

[@TristanPope]

@@MrEvan1932 Yes I know. That was not the point :) They also fixed this in the 75 he.

[@MrEvan1932]

Love the sound but don’t like the hum noise from the spacebar. Is there any way to dampen/fix that? Is it more noticeable in person?

[@TristanPope]

Very noticeable in person. Dampening might help.

[@Viktor-d1i]

This keyboard is legit my dream setup, but WHY no wireless?? 😩

[@TristanPope]

I know... it is a major drawback.

[@Frozoken]

I'll never get the appeal for wireless in boards. U lose performance, stability, you gotta charge it and it adds interferemce to your other wireless peripherals all for something you never need to move like wtf?

[@TristanPope]

@@Frozokenpeople move with low profile keyboards. Place them on top of their laptops and all sorts of other stuff remotes for a tv or console etc. very useful and wireless has gotten very good in terms of perceptible latency.

[@Matt-gf4gd]

​@@Frozoken just nice to not have a wire running across your desk, but mostly I like to be able to recline sometimes with my feet up on my stool, keyboard in my lap and play games or even work like that. Hard to do that with a wired board.

[@Matt-gf4gd]

I don't think there's really hall effect wireless boards yet. I think it has to do with that magnetic hall effect. Also, it's an 8k hz poll rate board, which would be harder to do wirelessly and would also drain your battery really fast.

[@danielmocanu2848]

Thanks for reviewing this. I was just about get a wooting 60he or the 80he for the extra keys when using for coding and workflow. Now I am a bit torn because I love the layout of this keyboard, the low profile and I thought only wooting had great software. Do you think the reliability of wooting should considered here, and the extra money should justify that?

[@TristanPope]

This is ONLY for gaming. I cannot stress that enough. Typing on it is stressful.

[@huepanda4609]

@@TristanPopeif you switch the switches would you say that it could be a typing keyboard?

[@TristanPope]

@@huepanda4609can’t. Only fits hall effect. Would have to switch the PCB.

[@jamesCH3W]

does it sound better than the regular air 75?

[@TristanPope]

Worse. Just how hall effect is.

[@GoochMuncher6969]

The design is so sleek minus the purple, feel like wired doesn’t match the aesthetic at all

[@TristanPope]

Matches the polling rate.

[@purfecto]

what kind is that wrist rest you have on it? seems like its not one of theirs, considering getting the keyboard but I would def prefer a plush or silicon rest for it, a magnetic attached would be even better but thats asking alot on a low profile i guess. i just dont like the hard acrylic they have.

[@TristanPope]

I got you www.keychron.com/products/keychron-silicone-palm-rest?ref=craftingworlds

[@purfecto]

i know u loved my comment, but can you share which wrist rest you used / feel comfortable with this keyboard on this video? ;)

I linked it above.

@@TristanPope oh thanks YT jerking around it wasnt visible had to refresh couple of times, thanks bro, very good review!

[@TristanPope]

@@purfectothanks glad to help!

[@johnnohappening2055]

Thanks for the review. Would cherry profile keycaps fit on these switches if we wanted to replace them but still have the short switch travel?

[@TristanPope]

These have the same switch travel as a normal Jade Pro Hall effect switch. And no you cannot put normal keycaps on these boards. They rub.

[@johnnohappening2055]

@@TristanPope thanks for the information sir!

[@TristanPope]

@@johnnohappening2055welcome.

Is the Jade or Jade Pro better?

I can only vouch for the Jade Pro.

[@unprofessionalreviews26]

Sir! A bowl of soup is never "by accident".

[@TristanPope]

The little splashes from it are :P

[@serg9194]

bro, if they added wireless, this would be GOAT status.

[@TristanPope]

yeah lack of wireless does take away from the low profile aspect.

[@sa17dk]

I've watched a lot of videos reviewing the air60 he from gaming channels and your review of the 60/75he blows them out of the water. The reviews I've seen have been uncritical and quite shallow in covering the technical aspects of the switches/board quality/build/design choices. Really appreciate your review and perspective/thoughts on it.

[@TristanPope]

@@sa17dk thank you. I appreciate that. Hope it was helpful in your decisions.

[@Frozoken]

low profile is key height imo because thats what actually matters for the ergonomic benefits of it, especially if you arent using a wrist rest but i get some people just like the feeling of low key travel distance so i guess it's both.

[@TristanPope]

@@Frozoken both indeed ;)

[@jon-eg6be]

Zenaim was the first to release a (true) low profile hall effect keyboard, this however is the first one in the western market

[@TristanPope]

Very cool.

[@cupofjoe46]

Was disappointed watching your first video on the 60he and felt pretty let down by a keyboard that I was otherwise excited for. Glad to see a lot of the issues being fixed on this new version, however. In my opinion, though, a low profile keyboard gets its title from the switches, and the 3.3mm travel was the biggest letdown for me. On Gateron's website, it is listed as 3.5mm travel which is different from the 3.3 listen on Nuphy's website. Would be nice to know the exact travel but a normal switch is 4.0mm so I think my fingers would be pleased either way. Nice to know that this keyboard might be worth going for again.

[@TristanPope]

The Jade pro normal and Jade pro low profile have the exact same travel distance. And to me as subjective as it is ruins low profile. But for those who don’t see low profile as distance this is a winner.

[@dilyaabrarova1977]

i don’t care what anyone says, this is the best low-profile gaming board rn.

[@TristanPope]

I am with ya for Hall effect!

[@madinaxatamova-u1d]

[@samiRetro777]

Does the (analog movement) thing act as a real analog 360 on controllers ?

[@TristanPope]

Feels good.

[@13BulliTs]

If they add a volume knob and wifi I will be sold. About the wifi, if they do a 1000 Hz wifi and when I plug it in it is 8000 hz would be the best option.

[@Frozoken]

Its because they space saved as much as possible. For context in width (talking the horizontal dimension here) it's only 1cm (0.5 inch) wider than the wooting 60he despite being a 75% board. Thats insane

[@TristanPope]

@@13BulliTs ahh the knob.

[@MrEvan1932]

I bought a separate numpad that has a volume knob and media keys to pair with this, in fact, it’s the same one he has in the video

[@TristanPope]

@@MrEvan1932 I love mine! great sale too amzn.to/3ZAhCYr

[@aurelianvoicu6413]

I like low profile boards but I’m not a gamer. How does this compare to the Air 75 or Lofree 84 for normal office work for typing?

[@TristanPope]

Don’t get this one. The LoFree is better. Contact my video on it. Even in this video I say that.

[@alinap7896]

the keys look solid, but i’m still worried about long-term durability tbh. nuphy horror stories

[@TristanPope]

Yeah that is a concern of mine as well.

[@jonathanwills4726]

Any tips on how to quiet that space bar just a little bit? i guess i could put some foam in it right?

[@TristanPope]

Foam for sure.

[@SpectreMK23]

Maybe not so good for people like me that got the 60HE.

[@TristanPope]

Agreed. That was not their best showing.

[@makson894]

lowkey mad I got the 60he now, but still might buy.

[@TristanPope]

oh snap

[@Deathmetalmafia]

is the faceplate easily removable?

[@TristanPope]

No

[@djamelbenzerga1380]

Love the review, but I’m not sold on the gaming focus. Typing feels mid.

[@TristanPope]

Yeah I get it the lack of feeling as good for everyday activity is a bummer but this is Hall effect.

[@Aerobrake]

for me its more so the exterior dimensions rather than the switches.

[@TristanPope]

Totally acceptable and may make this perfect for gaming for you!

[@FeuerToll]

that dust cover rant had me dying 😂 but facts, it’s useless and wasteful to the environment LESS PLASTIC PLEASE

[@TristanPope]

I am here to please hahah. But I agree it's just extra landfill.

it could be used as protective cover to stuck on keyboards on top one another for storage like all these addicts need, as they spent all their money on KB's instead of a house;p

@@TristanPope chinnese boards have it to go below 1mm but it produces Mis inputs. So if you have Mis input from wobbly stem they gave this option. In chinnese boards you have slider here you got drop down menu with few options
