NuPhy Gem80

Comment

• January 4, 2024 Release
• Available in Japan from NuPhy Japan with technical compliance
• Priced at $149.95 for the wired-only model and $169.95 for the tri-mode wireless model, they are relatively inexpensive.
• The Gem80 is NuPhy’s first mechanical keyboard with an 80% tenkeyless size.
• Since the base is a barebone, the model is much more customizable than previous NuPhy products, requiring the selection of preferred keyswitches and keycaps.
• Designed for a thocky sound, it is equipped with six layers of sound-absorbing material and four different mounting methods, allowing for a very wide range of user customization.
• Wired-only models are available in the lineup, so there is no need to worry about technical compliance in Japan.
• Available in five colors: Opsidian Black, Mystic Indigo, Cosmic Mocha, Inca Rose, and Airy Lilac.
• The base model is a barebone, and switches can be freely selected as options.
• It may be better to set up a keyswitch set and a keycap set that can be purchased at the same time, since each can be purchased inexpensively.
• Extra plates are also available for purchase.
• The frame material is CNC-machined 6063 aluminum, and the back is a polycarbonate material to facilitate wireless connection.
• The six layers of sound-absorbing material are expected to result in a very thocky keystroke sound.
• The sound-absorbing material installed consists of three layers of Poron sheet, IXPE damper, Xtramer, and silicone sheet, for a total of six layers.
• The Omini-Mojo mounting system is used, with four mounting types to choose from: silicone socket gasket, silicone bean gasket, silicone strip gasket, and top mount using screws and silicone.
• The default plate is FR4, but other options include aluminum, polycarbonate, and POM as extra plates.
• The keycaps feature the newly developed mSA profile.
• The keycaps are Cherry-like with different heights and slopes in different rows, but feature a spherical design with a depressed center.
• Homing keys such as FJ have a physical protrusion as well as a process that allows LEDs to penetrate.
• Keycaps will be made of double-shot PBT material
• The spacebar uses Ghostbar, which has a quiet silicone according to the mSA profile.
• Two wireless connection methods for tri-mode wireless models: 2.4 GHz using a USB dongle and Bluetooth 5.1
• In the 2.4 GHz band, the polling rate is 1000 Hz.
• The wired connection method is USB Type-C as before.
• Compatible with QMK/VIA
• Hot-swappable
• In addition to three new keyswitches, the original mint (37gf linear), raspberry (46gf linear), and lemon (55gf tactile), which were jointly developed by NuPhy and Gateron, there is a choice of silent red clear top (45gf silent linear), which was developed with Cherry Available.
• The Bokeh series desk mats in similar colors are also available in five colors.
