Our Verdict

DrunkDeer A75

NuPhy Field75 HE

The DrunkDeer A75 and the NuPhy Field75 HE are wired analog gaming keyboards with Hall-effect switches. The NuPhy has noticeably better build quality a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz, and significantly better raw performance overall. It also features several additional hardware features, including a volume knob, mode dials, and extra customizable buttons. Comparatively, the DrunkDeer is a bit quieter and has shine-through keycaps, which the NuPhy lacks.
