#6 in Gaming Keyboards · Rated 4.8
Ultra-slim 60% keyboard with magnetic switches and 8K polling
NuPhy Air60 HE is a landmark low-profile gaming keyboard featuring magnetic low-profile switches and 8K polling for extremely fast input. The aluminum top frame and slim profile deliver a premium aesthetic, while VIA-compatible software and NuPhyIO tools enable deep customization for rapid trigger, SOCD, and dynamic keystrokes across multiple profiles. The Air60 HE supports wired connections and can switch between several actuation ranges, enabling precise control for competitive play and creative macro setups. It’s an ideal choice for gamers who want a compact form factor, strong customization, and a high-tech feel, without stepping into the price territory of boutique halls-effect boards. The trade-offs include a limited number of layouts (60%) and the need to rely on software for full macro capabilities, but the performance and sleek design have earned it strong reviews.
