A premium low-profile board whose genuine Cherry-branded switches give it a manufacturing pedigree most low-profile competitors using third-party switches can't claim.
NuPhy Halo96
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A clean, well-built standard-height 96% that brings NuPhy's design sensibility to a more mainstream switch format.
