Details have not been announced, but presumably the software used to change the keymap will be revamped from VIA to a board that supports NuPhy IO 2.0.
A $1.00 deposit is required to apply for the early bird special, and the balance is due at the time of purchase while receiving the special.
The benefits are as follows
Special Offers
- Free dust cover for the first 2000 orders only.
- Free Shipping
- 1-year extended warranty
- First-time NuPhy buyers receive a $10.00 coupon
- If you are already using a NuPhy series keyboard, you will receive a $20.00 coupon*.
At first glance, it appears to be a very good deal.
However, it is unclear how many people in Japan are eligible for the $20.00 coupon, since it must be purchased from the official store of the head office in order for the coupon to be applied.
Also, to be honest, I think this is pretty terrible for those who purchased Halo65V2, which was released on August 27.
Some people may say, “I would not have bought the VIA version if a NuPhy IO-compatible version would have been released at this time.
KawamuraCouldn’t they have done something better?
There is no doubt that NuPhy IO is more intuitive and easier to use when it comes to keymap changes, but in terms of keymap changes alone, there is not much difference from what can be done in VIA.
As for those who own Halo v2 series, I have the impression that many of them will not be able to use it this time.
