Nuphy Air60 HE review – it’s great!

I recently got my hands on a low-profile magnetic keyboard for the very first time, and let me tell you—it’s something else. I’m talking about the Nuphy Air60 HE that just got released. I first tried it on IFA Berlin, but now I can also review it at home. Right out of the box, you can be struck by how sleek and modern it looks, with a combination of purple, gray, and black keycaps that feel both unique and well-matched. And if you’re like me and prefer options, the box also includes standard keycaps you can swap out anytime. It’s always nice to have that flexibility.

From a build-quality perspective, it’s solid. The top is made from aluminum, giving it a premium feel, while the bottom is sturdy ABS plastic. It’s got some weight to it, which reassures me that it won’t slide around during intense gaming sessions. As for the keycaps, these are five-sided dye-subbed NSA keycaps, and they feel high-quality and durable. Plus, the translucent caps give a nice touch when the RGB lights shine through, adding that extra flair.

Now, the real star here is the performance. It’s powered by magnetic Jade Pro switches (which are hot-swappable, by the way), offering a fantastic typing and gaming experience. The switches feel smooth, stable, and they’re not too wobbly—a common issue with magnetic keyboards. The sound? Honestly, it’s pretty addictive. Not too loud, just the right amount of click for satisfying feedback.

One feature that really impressed me is the 0.01 mm actuation point, which means the keys respond almost instantly. Whether I’m gaming or typing, there’s practically no delay, making it feel super responsive. It also supports an 8,000 Hz polling rate, which, in simple terms, makes every keypress as accurate and fast as possible. If you’re someone who games competitively, this keyboard could be a game-changer.

Something I didn’t expect but ended up loving was the hyper-tap feature, where releasing one key can trigger another. It makes tasks like counter-strafing in FPS games feel so much smoother and effortless. It’s little touches like these that show how much thought went into the design.

For a keyboard packed with this many features—rapid trigger, customizable actuation points, web-based software for fine-tuning every key—it’s a steal at around $120. Even upgrading to the Pro version, like the one I’ve been using, only bumps it up to $139, and honestly, it’s still worth every penny.
