I have been using a Macbook for almsot two decades so I don’t really need to have an external keyboard. I am also not a PC gamer so I don’t need to have all those fancy devices that you can use on your computer or laptop to make the gaming experience faster and better. But when I see those fancy and colorful keyboards that my friends post, I’m sometimes tempted to get one just to try out all the bells and whistles and also to hear myself clickety clacking on this keyboard instead of my mostly quiet Macbook’s built-in one.
Designer:
The brand NuPhy has been making a name for itself in the mechanical keyboard market but their newest one, the Field75 HE Keyboard is the first one that is heavily designed and promoted as a gaming keyboard. While they say it’s also for productivity as well, most of the extra things that this keyboard gives will appeal mostly for those who are casually and heavily into gaming. It is also compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS so whatever gadget you’re using, the keyboard can be an accessory. From its retro-futuristic aesthetic to the various cogs and tools alongside the usual keyboard things, this has kind of broken the mold when it comes to mechanical keyboards.
For one, it has eight macro keys, four on the left side of the device and four below the spacebar. They act more like mouse buttons than regular keys and the click clacks are different from the sound of the other keys. You can remap their functions but the default are mostly for media controls and shortcuts. The cogwheel on the left side controls lighting while the toggle switch lets you swap between the three onboard memory profiles. There is also a volume wheel with a knurled aluminum placed on the edge of the keyboard. These cutting-edge Hall Effect magnetic switches really put this keyboard on top of most that are available in the market.
Aside from the design, the technical specs of the NuPhy Field75 HE Keyboard also make it different from its competitors. It has adjustable actuation from 0.1mm to 4.0mm, rapid trigger functionality, and an 8,000Hz polling rate. You will be able to adjust and customize things like key sensitivity, per-key rapid trigger, etc. You can also have multiple functions for some of the keys. So whether you’re using it for serious gaming or for rapid productivity purposes, the keyboard may be able give you more than just typing out keys for your screen.
