Zero fat, HEroic performance
The thinnest, fastest, and most advanced magnetic switch keyboard ever. With the ultra-smooth low-profile Magnetic Jade and lightning-fast 0.1ms response, it effortlessly handles everything—from deep work to the most intense gaming.
DESIGN
So thin, it feels like cHEating
Air75 HE continues to assume the minimalist style of the Air series, featuring iconic sidelights and and the thin and light body. The unibody aluminum frame ensures its sturdiness and durability. We also designed brand new themed keycaps for the Air75 HE, including transparent keycaps for the first time, giving the Air75 HE unprecedented gaming fun.
Ultra-compact, ultra-thin. The 75% layout offers plenty of space for seamless mouse control. With an ultra-thin design of just 12.8~18.4mm, it not only ensures ergonomic comfort for your wrists but is also better suited for fast-paced tasks than high-profile keyboards.
Wrist Rest and deskmats. We designed a series of mono wrist rests for the Air75 HE, with a variety of deskmat options.
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE
Zero in on your target,
while we zero out the latency
Air75 HE’s claim to be the world’s fastest keyboard encompasses two aspects: the fastest actuation and the fastest response. Magnetic switches enable actuation points to be adjusted from 0.1mm to 3.3mm, with 0.1mm offering the shortest trigger distance. A new, advanced MCU ensures a true 8000Hz polling rate, reducing latency to an astonishing 0.1ms, surpassing all known gaming keyboards.
0.1mm actuation point. Magnetic switches eliminate debounce delay and cut actuation distance from 2.0mm (Red mechanical switch) and 1.1mm (Silver mechanical switch) to a mere 0.1mm. Free from metal contacts, they deliver smoother performance and last 50% to 100% longer than traditional mechanical switches.
* The actuation point for both the Low-Profile Magnetic Jade and Low-Profile Magnetic Jade Pro can be freely set between 0.1mm and 3.3mm.
0.1ms latency, true 8000Hz polling rate. The Air75 HE is the world’s first 75% layout low-profile keyboard with both 8000Hz polling and 8000Hz PCB scan rates. Its latency is drastically lower than most 8000Hz magnetic switch keyboards, offering a game-changing 50x faster response than conventional gaming keyboards. This breakthrough performance sets a new benchmark for latency.
* The latency tests are conducted with a CMSIS-DAP compliant hardware debug unit, by measuring the time difference between when the Enter key switch is closed, and the key press event is registered on the PC, and subtracting the instrument 's intrinsic delay(provided by the producer) from the measurement. The test results do not account for the pre-travel delays of the key switches, which varies for different types of switches, as the swtich circuits are closed electronically during the tests.
0x Compromise on speed & RGB. The race to a lower latency starts when the transverse voltage builds up in the Hall effect sensors, individually packaged and powered from the LEDs they retain their sensititity even when the RGB effects are maxed out. Similar arrangments at the end of the signals' journey ensures the MCU is at full throttle handling their arrivals, utilizing a self-developed filtering algorithm that picks them at industry-leading accuracy and speed.
HALL EFFECT
Asymmetric Advantage
Ultra-low latency is just one of the many benefits magnetic switches offer gamers. The real game-changer is Rapid Trigger and the ever-expanding features. In addition to the commonly used Rapid Trigger (RT), Rapid Shift (RS), SOCD, and KDS/MT/TGL, we’ve introduced the all-new Hyper Tap (HT). All of this gives magnetic switch keyboard users an asymmetric edge, one that will only widen as the community grows.
Ex-actuate
0.1mm, 3.3mm, or exactly .10 of an inch...with both high dynamic range and travel resolution Air75 HE got your back whether you want to be the fastest gun in the West, or tune your rhythm in sync with that particular spell's cooldown timer.
Rapid Trigger
Ready for your next move before the first hit even lands on the enemy? With just 0.01mm of break, your trusted companion will execute commands instantly and repeatedly. In rapid trigger mode, the Air75 HE handles even the most complex maneuvers seamlessly and effortlessly, as if it were an extension of your nervous system. The new Pro feature allows you to perform two different actions with a single press and release.
Hyper Tap
When you release a key and trigger the Reset value set in RT, it will automatically trigger another key value. For example, if you slightly release the A key and trigger Reset, the function will immediately activate D. Although it works differently from RS and SOCD in principle, it can still provide significant benefits for stopping and shooting in the opposite direction.
Dynamic Keystroke
High precision and minimized errors also enable true analog input, as you can now pack a recorded amount of information and up to 4 actions in one stroke. Combos, spellcastings, macros….can all become chords in the music that follows your finger, whose tempo you will decide-among 2 positions out of 40 in the downmove, and another 2 in the upmove.
SWITCHES
Smaller, yet superior
Magnetic switches are the new standard, and Gateron Magnetic Jade switches are the true benchmark for magnetic switches. From the beginning of the design of the Air75 HE, we were determined to work with Gateron to bring the unparalleled feel, performance, stability, and typing sound of Magnetic Jade switches to a low-profile version. Today, this goal has been successfully achieved.
All the latest technology in one. The low-profile Magnetic Jade features a dual-rail and dustproof stem design, vastly surpassing the stability of its high-profile version. All of this provides a solid foundation for the Air75 HE’s exceptionally small travel accuracy and RT accuracy. We also offer the Magnetic Jade Pro, with POM material for the top house, bottom house, and stem, delivering a smoother typing feel and a more thock sound.
WEB DRIVER
Within a finger's reach
Settings and parameters editing are vital to the magnetic switch keyboard user experience. Through a new interactive design approach, NuPhyIO aims to make this unwieldy task more accessible for casual and experienced users alike. Every single parameter affecting the system performance is tweakable, and the tweaks are visible in the UI in real-time as they take effects, such as the per-key rapid-trigger/sensitivity annotations on the keyboard preview.
Mac, Windows, Linux...you name it. NuPhyIO's key remapping and macro work seamlessly on all major desktop platforms, or any platform that supports Chromium-based browsers, making it even easier to customize the Air75 HE to your heart's content.
Introducing RapidSwitch. A complete overhaul of the mode on earlier NuPhy keyboards that provides integration and organization of all data associated with a user role, such as layers, lighting, travel distance & sensitivity. You can have different modes for different OSes, or different games, and they can all be selected by the redesigned RapidSwitch. No more superheroic effort to get a superhuman APM.
Seeing is Believing. For the first time, tough technical concepts like the dead zone and resolution are configurable in a visualized and animated manner. You can adjust them on the fly and perceive the difference with both your fingers and eyes, along with a bunch of other parameters. Similarly manipulable and visualized are the layers, the basic units of layout editting in modern keyboard configurators, up to 12 of which are supported, with each mode having 4.
SOUND
Invisible but audible
To design the first low-profile keyboard for magnetic switches, we prioritized travel accuracy, which led us to exclude several popular structural elements such as gasket mounts, PC/POM plates, sound dampers and switch pads. With options significantly narrowed, we incorporated PCB foam, plate foam and bottom silicone to ensure a clean typing sound.
Keycaps
Durability meets dazzle
For gamers, strong and durable keycaps are crucial. The Air75 HE features five-sided dye-sub nSA keycaps, which are designed to withstand the most intense usage with ease thanks to their superior durability. In addition, the transparent version of nSA keycaps introduced for the first time brings unmatched visual appeals to Air75 HE, making it not only a powerful weapon on the battlefield, but also a dazzling view on your desktop.
The dark side goes bright. We’ve brought the south-facing shine-through keycaps to nSA profile. Their bold typography and detailed design showcase their disruptive nature. With the same groundbreaking technique, Canopus shine-through keycaps will shine on your desktop like never before.
