NuPhy’s new Gem80 mechanical keyboard, released with a number of the latest technologies.
Looking at the way NuPhy has released new products in the past, they have often taken the approach of releasing new keyswitches, deskmats, and palm rests together and selling them “with” the new product.
In other words, the sales strategy seems to be “if you don’t buy the new keyboard, you can’t buy the new keyswitches, etc.”.
This would certainly increase the price per customer and would be a very smart strategy for a business.
On the other hand, it is also very inconvenient for prospective customers who are considering a purchase.
Many people will give up on key switches if they say, “I don’t want a keyboard because I don’t like the layout, but I want the key switches they employ.
In a different way of thinking, it is synonymous with losing potential customers.
After some hesitation, it seems that they have changed their sales policy… and now both the new keyswitches and keycaps can be purchased separately!
KawamuraThe fact that the Gem80 was launched for sale only a short time after the announcement of Gem80 seems to indicate the situation a bit.
So let’s take a look at the new NuPhy products that are now available for sale individually!

New mSA profile keycap
The most noteworthy item is the new keycap.
It is available in five colors: Cosmic Mocha, Mystic Indigo, Obscivian Black, Airy Lilac, and Inca Rose.
The greatest feature is that it has a deeper spherical structure, yet is significantly reduced in height compared to SA.
It is about 4 mm lower than SA, which is called “high pro.
It is still expensive compared to the typical CHERRY profile, but those who like MDA, etc. will be hooked.
New Keyswitch
There are a total of four types of keyswitches released with the Gem80.
NuPhy x Gateron /NuPhy x Cherry Switches
| Switch | Mint | Raspberry | lemon (Citrus depressa) | Cherry Silent Red Clear-Top |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Picture. |  |  |  |  |
| Colabo | Gateron. | Gateron. | Gateron. | Cherry |
| Feel | Linear | Linear | Tactile | Silent Linear |
| Color | Mint | Red | Yellow | Red/Transparent |
| Lubed. | Pre-Lubed | Pre-Lubed | Pre-Lubed | Pre-Lubed |
| Operating force | 37±15gf | 46±15gf | 55±10gf | 46±15gf |
| Pre-Travel | 2.0±0.5mm | 1.2±0.3mm | 2.0±0.5mm | 1.9±0.5mm |
| Total Travel | 3.6±0.2mm | 3.4mmMax | 3.6±0.2mm | 3.7±0.2mm |
In addition to three types of key switches in NuPhy’s pop colors, there is also a Silent Linear in collaboration with the original Cherry.
Especially for silent linear switches, the pressure is very close to that of the “Kailh DeepSea Islet,” a silent linear switch that is very popular in Japan, and the stroke width is also very close, so it may have the potential to be a big breakthrough depending on the texture.
New Desk Mat
As for the desk mats, they are available in the same five colors as the Gem80 body.
The simplicity of the dot pattern is very pop and stylish.
Acrylic palm rest in TKL size
Previously, NuPhy only had palm rests for 65/75% sized keyboards, so a TKL-sized version is now available for the Gem80.
It is also available in five colors to match the body color, plus new black oak, walnut, and beach colors.
Looking at the specifications, it seems as if real wood is used for the wood.
KawamuraThe fusion of wood, aluminum, and rubber is quite a miraculous specification.
summary
These are the new products released with the launch of Gem80.
Perhaps a keycap and silent linear key switch would not hurt to buy.
