Our Verdict

Logitech G715

NuPhy Halo96/Halo75 V2

The NuPhy Halo75 V2 and the Logitech G715 are wireless mechanical keyboards with comparable raw performance. The NuPhy has greater customizability and features an RGB strip or 'halo' that wraps around the keyboard. Its bottom case is also semi-transparent, which allows comparatively more light out. On the other hand, the Logitech has an 'underglow' RGB strip around the outside edge that primarily casts light downwards onto your desk, producing a similar effect. The Logitech also has shine-through keycaps, which the NuPhy lacks, as well as dedicated media keys and a volume wheel. Lastly, the Logitech comes with a cloud-shaped wrist rest while the NuPhy only has wrist rests available for a separate purchase.
