The price of the unit is $119.95-$129.95, which is unchanged from the original Halo65.

As a pre-sale offer, use coupon code “halo65v2” at checkout to receive 10% off plus free shipping on the keyboard itself. (Free shipping is on the keyboard itself only. Coupon code valid through September 27)

In addition, the first 200 customers will automatically receive a random set of Twotone wrist rests.

The Halo series is NuPhy’s normal profile mechanical keyboard counterpart to the Air series of low-profile keyboards.

The 75% and 96% layout Halo keyboards have been released as v2, and this 65% unit will be the last to be released.

Perhaps the most significant change compared to V1 is the change in mounting method.

By adopting the “gasket mount” that has become mainstream in the keyboard world recently, V2 is a shift in policy toward a Thocky direction, whereas the previous model was relatively Clacky.

It looks like a PCB gasket mount, not a switch plate gasket mount.

In addition, the amount of sound-absorbing material has been greatly increased to accommodate this change, and a quiet linear “Blush Max” switch is now available as an option to meet office needs.

The keymap changes are not made by NuPhy IO, but by the conventional VIA.

The keycaps have also been brushed up in small details, such as the change to “mSA” keycaps, which are characterized by a depressed center.

The 65% size has no function keys and must be operated by simultaneously pressing the Fn key, making it a relatively “expert” size.

Unlike the Halo75v2, the function key mark for macOS is printed as a sublegend on the numeric industry, which is also stylish.

As with the other v2 series, there are five color variations.

Japanese layouts and ISO layouts have not yet been announced.

We will report on the sales schedule in Japan as soon as possible.

Fans who want to get their hands on the product as soon as possible should use the coupon code “halo65v2” and purchase by September 27.
