About The Keyboard
The NuPhy Field75 HE keyboard is designed with a compact 75% layout, perfect for those who need a space-saving solution without compromising functionality. This keyboard features high-profile PBT keycaps, providing a satisfying tactile experience while ensuring durability that can withstand heavy usage. The plastic chassis is robust and lacks any deck flex, which enhances the overall typing experience. It comes equipped with south-facing LEDs that are compatible with most aftermarket keycap sets, although the existing keycaps do not have shine-through legends; therefore, visibility in low-light conditions may be an issue.
