A full-size, low-profile wireless mechanical keyboard with a Mac and Windows switch, Mac legends on the keycaps, three Bluetooth slots, a 2.4GHz receiver, a touch bar and NuPhy's web configurator.
We may earn a commission.RTINGS tested a low-profile Node model and found excellent typing quality that combines tactile mechanical feedback with a springy gasket mount. It calls the all-plastic boards solid and sturdy, and says some may find them too soft, especially with the silent Blush nano switches.
NuPhy's quick guide uses Fn plus 1, 2 or 3 for three Bluetooth devices and Fn plus 4 for the 2.4GHz receiver, with a switch for off, wired and wireless. NuPhy lists 1000Hz over cable and 2.4GHz, 125Hz over Bluetooth, and a 3,000mAh battery rated at 60 to 100 hours with all lights on.
RTINGS says the keycaps include Mac-specific legends out of the box and a physical toggle switches between Mac and Windows modes. NuPhy's guide shows the same Win and Mac switch.
RTINGS says NuPhy's web-based software works on Mac and remaps keys, lighting, macros and profiles. NuPhy's guide points to nuphy.io and assigns layers 0 to 3 to Mac mode and 4 to 7 to Windows mode.
Four mechanical keyboards with Mac keycaps, and the macOS limits their makers list for the fn key, FileVault logins, USB-A receivers and setup apps.
