The connection method is wired connection (USB Type-C) only, and wireless connection is not supported.
The supported polling rate is 8000 Hz (latency is 0.125 ms), enabling ultra-low latency input.
The following four types of functions are unique to the magnetic keyboard, each of which can be changed with the newly developed NuPhyIO web application, along with keymap changes.
- Ex-actuate｜Actuation point can be changed between 0.1mm and 3.3mm as desired.
- Rapid Trigger｜Adjustable keyswitch on/off (from press to release) in 0.01mm
- Hyper Tap｜The principle of rapid triggering allows a keyswitch to serve as another key input between the time it is turned on and the time it is turned off.
- Dynamic Keystroke｜Up to 4 different actions can be set from the beginning of a key press to the end of the key press and back.
These settings can be physically switched between layers, lighting, travel distance, sensitivity, and other setting items by using the shifter switches (M1-M3) on the back, which can be instantly switched between different game applications, different OS settings, etc.
The world’s first low-profile magnetic switch offers a key stroke of 3.3 mm with a reduced height and a thicker central foot, a technique that incorporates a stem and spring in the middle of the switch.
Keycaps are nSA profile, PBT material, printed with 5 Dimention Dye-Sub (5-sided sublimation printing), and polycarbonate light transmissive keycaps are included.
The mounting method is probably case-mounted, with three sound-absorbing materials: PCB foam, plate foam, and bottom silicone.
The 60% layout and exceptional thinness of the product allows for excellent portability.
For those who want to bring their own keyboard and play online PC games, this will be a very good option.
