NuPhy Launched Nos75 QMK/VIA Low-profile Custom Mechanical Keyboard
This month, NuPhy has launched the Nos75 QMK/VIA Low-profile Custom Mechanical Keyboard, marking a significant leap in the mechanical keyboard market. This release is notable for being the first to feature the Gateron low-profile switch 3.0, an innovation set to redefine typing experiences.
Key Features and Design
The NuPhy Nos75 adopts an ANSI 75% layout, encompassing 81 keys. Both the top and bottom shells are crafted from premium aluminum alloy, providing a robust and sleek build. The keyboard's ergonomic design incorporates a 5° tilt, aimed at reducing strain during prolonged use, with the highest point measuring 25.7mm.
Supporting QMK/VIA open-source key modification, the Nos75 offers users extensive customization options. Its hot-swappable switches allow for easy switch changes without soldering, catering to both enthusiasts and beginners alike. The keyboard features a lower light backlight, a side light strip, and nSA height keycaps, all contributing to its aesthetic appeal and functionality. Additionally, it boasts a high report rate of 1000Hz, ensuring rapid and accurate key registration.
Introducing the N1 Nano Switch
At the heart of the Nos75 is the new N1 nano switch, a low-profile linear switch developed collaboratively by NuPhy and Gateron. This switch is nearly 30% shorter than traditional high-profile switches, maintaining the same 3.4mm total stroke as the CHERRY Quicksilver. This compatibility with traditional high-switch shaft seats ensures versatility and ease of integration for users familiar with standard mechanical switches.
N1 Nano Switch Specifications:
- Material: All POM
- Trigger Weight: 50g
- Bottoming Weight: 60g
- Trigger Stroke: 1.7mm
- Total Stroke: 3.4mm
- Spring Length: 18mm
Customizable Structures and Liner Fixing Methods
The Nos75 is designed with four structural configurations and various liner fixing methods. This allows users to tailor the feel and acoustic properties of the keyboard to their personal preferences. Whether you prefer a softer or more tactile typing experience, the Nos75 offers the flexibility to meet those needs.
Enhanced Typing Stability
To further enhance typing stability and reduce vibrations, NuPhy has incorporated circular airbag anti-slip pads at the bottom of the Nos75 keyboard. These pads replace traditional feet, providing a more stable and comfortable typing experience.
Availability and Full Version Details
According to NuPhy's official website, the full version of the Nos75 mechanical keyboard comes equipped with the N1 nano switches and keycaps, ready for users to experience its groundbreaking features right out of the box.
Conclusion
The release of the Nos75 QMK/VIA Low-profile Custom Mechanical keyboard positions NuPhy at the forefront of innovation in the mechanical keyboard industry. With its pioneering design, customizable features, and the introduction of the N1 nano switch, the Nos75 is set to become a game-changer for both casual and professional users.
