Our Verdict

NuPhy Field75

NuPhy Gem80

The NuPhy Field75 and the NuPhy Gem80 are wireless mechanical keyboards. The Field75 is designed specifically for gaming. It offers better raw performance and has a smaller compact (75%) layout. The Gem80, on the other hand, has a slightly larger TKL (80%) layout and is designed with more hardware customization in mind. It's also only available as a barebones kit, so you must buy and install the switches and keycaps separately.
