About this product
The NuPhy Node is a low-profile mechanical keyboard built for people who type all day and share the room with others. Low-profile switches sit closer to the desk, so your wrists rest flatter than on a standard mechanical board and the key travel is shorter, which is usually what keeps the noise down in an open office. It connects three ways - wired USB, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless - so the same board can move between a desktop, a laptop and a tablet without re-cabling. Because this is a custom-oriented line, the two things worth confirming with the seller before you order are the switch type (linear or tactile) and the exact layout, since both change the feel and the footprint you receive.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Low-profile switches keep the board low, so wrists rest flatter over a long typing day
- Three connection modes - wired USB, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz - let one keyboard serve several devices
- Quieter than a standard mechanical keyboard, which matters in shared offices and at night
- Compact enough to drop into a laptop bag
Cons
- Low-profile travel is shorter than a full-height mechanical switch - try one first if you like deep key travel
- Low-profile keycaps use their own mounting standard, so most aftermarket keycap sets will not fit - ask the seller which sets are supported
- Several layouts are usually sold under the same name, so confirm the key count and switch type in the listing
