Halo effect

As the all purpose and most Halorful NuPhy keyboard series, Halos' RGB bands have lit up the desktop of countless gamers. Soon, with the world-beating Magnetic Jade Pro switches and the extreme 8kHz polling rate of its electronics, the new Halo65 HE will light up your gaming performance too.

 

DESIGN

Tap the untapped

The color theme of Halo65 HE should not only complement its metal frame, but also accentuate its light effects. And we find no better candiate than our EM Lab keycap set. Electric, captivating...the backlight glowing under the orange dye-subed surface and the transparent keycaps projects an aura of energy that galvanizes you and gets you ready for action.

Wrist Rest and deskmats. A new electromagnetic interpretation of the classic twin-pieced twotone look, and the high information density Orbit deskmat should give you eyes plenty to feast while your arms rest.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

Instant as instinct

The switches are only half of the story, every component in the signal’s pathway from the switch must run reliably at an even higher speed to fully unleash its potential. The requirements are staggering, the specs of the hardware even more so: MCU clocked at 144MHz, 8000Hz polling rate, only 0.25ms of total latency from the key activation to its registering….through their amazing skills our engineering team has pulled together this feat.

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 the Magnetic Jade Pro can be freely set between 0.1mm and 3.3mm, while the Magnetic Coral offers a range from 0.1mm to 4.0mm.

0.25ms latency, 8000Hz polling rate. All that 8000Hz polling back and forth requires one big bad MCU to handle, and our Nu1 is the right chip for the job. It has a clock rate of 144MHz, support for USB 2.0 data transmission, and 512kb of flash. In real world tests it is able to cut the total latency to 0.25ms, a full 100% improvement of 8000Hz performance over the best our competitors have to offer.

* 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 switch circuits are closed electronically during the tests.

Race without running into each others. 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, 4.0mm, or exactly .10 of an inch...with both high dynamic range and travel resolution Halo65 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 Halo65 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.

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 Halo65 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.

MAGNETIC SWITCHES

Proof of prowess

Unlock the power of Magnetic Jade Pro, the most sophisticated, stable and precise magnetic switches to date. Built with rare-earth magnets and a special metal casing, Jade Pro is for the most hardcore and competitive gamers. The dual-rail, NuPhy-exclusive Magnetic Coral however, takes the win in the competition of sheer Halo-ness. With a coral housing to match Halo65 HE’s colorfulness, we believe it is the most beautiful magnetic switch ever created.

Sound engineering on sound foundations.It is just two porons with one aluminum plate sandwiched, plus one silicone anechoic sheet. The magnetic switches handle your inputs at a lightning pace, and so does every other component in Halo65 HE's signal pathway.

KEYCAPS

CAPtain on the bridge

The legendary comfort, gaming DNA and aesthetics commanded by the Cherry profile means it is the ideal choice for Halo HE’s keycaps. Moulded with PBT material, the double-shot legend enables crisp text and vibrant colors, and a grease and scratch resistant surface that retains its stunning look even after extensive use.

Ghostbar on board.Yes, GhostBar is totally coming to Halo HE too! Same noise suppression and sound harmonization NuPhy tech except that you can now try it at 20x speed.

    Best Budget Hall Effect Keyboard

    For only $99 (pre-order), this is the best value you can get for a hall effect keyboard. Arguably on par or even better latency performance than the Wooting 60HE, premium switches with the Gateron Jade Pro, easy to use web-based software full of essential hall effect features, and the overall material quality of the board delivers a good typing feeling and sound quality. 10/10.

    (The picture below is a polling rate test using Keyboard Inspector. The keyboard does indeed register as 8khz polling rate)

    The greastest keyboard I have ever used.

    I used this keyboard for quite a while now and all I can say about it is that this keyboard is simply perfect.

    I used for typing and gaming and in both tasks it performs very well.

    Also the sound and the feeling is on point.

    Really impressive keyboard

    I never write reviews, but I'm simply looking for reasons to type on this keyboard! The Halo65HE is really that good. The Jade Pro switches feel and sound amazing. The keyboard is the right height and size. I even like the grey & white with orange accents! I'm not a game player, so don't think this is strictly a keyboard for gamers. I type A LOT -- for hours on end -- and this keyboard feels fantastic. Even the stock keycaps are good and those are usually the first thing I replace. These HE technology keyboards are going to make me give up my expensive MX mechanical keyboards.
