NuPhy Halo75 V2

M MKB Guide MKB Guide · reviewer · Jun 2026

Verdict: The best value standard-profile wireless board with QMK/VIA in 2026. Tom's Hardware called the Halo75 V2 "attractive and… a very good deal." Tom's Guide described it as "gorgeous to look at, listen to and type on." It's the single most recommended NuPhy for desk-bound Mac or Windows users who want a hobbyist-grade typing experience without the price of a Keychron Q.

Meet the new and improved Halo 75 v2 mechanical keyboard by NuPhy. It takes all the best parts of the original Halo 75 and makes it even better! In this review we take a detailed look to see what you expect from this iconic 75% keyboard

M MKB Guide MKB Guide · reviewer · Apr 2026

QMK and VIA support is full and uncompromised, which separates the Halo75 V2 from similarly-priced competitors like the Akko 5075B Plus. If you're planning to do anything interesting with keyboard firmware and remapping , the Halo75 V2 doesn't limit you. The mounting style — PCB gasket rather than the top-mounted or case-mounted gasket designs on some competitors — provides excellent flex consistency and a satisfying, consistent keystroke regardless of where you press on the board.

As a whole, it’s not a perfect product, but I think it’s definitely worth considering if you want a soft, creamy experience like this.

Like other Nuphy keyboards, the Halo75 V2 comes with Mac-friendly keycaps out of the box and Windows alternatives included inside, plus a switch to toggle between Mac and Windows bindings. This makes for a great cross-platform keyboard you can use with almost anything, and I certainly have no qualms about its gaming performance even if that isn't the primary focus here. Altogether, a beautiful evolution of the formula that's well worth considering in this 75 percent form factor.

The NuPhy Halo75 has the space bar you've been looking for, or should I say, Ghost Bar? NuPhy is back at it again and this time I finally had the chance to check out the fully envisioned Halo board with all the bells and whistles.

If the Q1 Max is the safe, no-nonsense pick, the Halo75 V2 is for the programmer who wants that same level of build quality but also wants their setup to look like something out of a keyboard forum showcase. It does not sacrifice function for style though, which is why it earns its own spot instead of just being a runner-up.

But overall, I really like the backlighting on this keyboard, it gives off a "Rainbow Road" vibe, which I definitely like. In short, that's about all there is to this keyboard. Personally, I think she's wonderful. So, if you like spectacular backlighting, especially considering the price and the sound of the keys, then for me it meets all the requirements

The Halo75 V2 is noted for its space-saving layout that doesn’t cut functionality, plus solid build quality right out of the box. Reviewers mention it pairs well with other NuPhy boards like the GEM80 and Air75v2, though some wish for matching white wrist rests to avoid extra shipping.

Et il n'aura mis que quelques minutes à se faire sa place tant c'est un EXCELLENT clavier qui coche toutes les cases (ou presque).

The new NuphyIO-compatible “IO” edition of the Halo75 V2 might be one of the nicest all-round boards I’ve tested.

Now, that is a pre-built stock 75% keyboard. And as you can hear by that, that sounds solid. This is the Halo V2, but with a few upgrades. The IO series has a few upgrades to the regular Halo 75 V2. We'll talk about the differences and the similarities, but before we get started, I would like you guys to know I did release some new t-shirts and some upgrades to my 3D models. So, go ahead and check them out. As always, thank you guys so much for your support on all the desk mats, t-shirts, wallpapers, you know, all the good stuff. Anyway, let's get started. This is the Halo 75 V2 IO series.

The mixture of alu and plastic gives it a surprisingly solid build (not as great as a full alu board, though), and with its clean, modern look, it’s one of the most refined pre-builts I’ve tried so far.
