By now, it should come as no surprise that NuPhy is known for making some great keyboards. gave NuPhy Air60 V2 Won me over as one of the best low-profile gaming keyboards out there. gave NuPhy Gem80 I have an all-time favorite, so when NuPhy asked me if I'd like to review the Field75, I answered the email as soon as I woke up with one eye open. I trust NuPhy, as I trust the likes of Razer and Corsair, and I can tell you that after spending a lot of time with the NuPhy Field75, this keyboard is made for those who want one. Looking for The best typing experience but without having to build your own keyboard.

The NuPhy Field75 is what a keyboard enthusiast company does when designing a pre-built keyboard.

Now, considering how both the NuPhy Field75 and the NuPhy Gem80 are from the same company, it's safe to say that there will be some comparisons between these keyboards. I'm going to be honest and put it as I understand it: if Gem80 is the cousin who went to business school, Field75 is the cousin who ended up in art school, and there's nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, both keyboards are equally good at what they do. The Field75 is a keyboard that doesn't require you to get your hands dirty, and sometimes that's okay.

The NuPhy Field75's unboxing experience isn't as glamorous, but that's okay. The box itself is pretty attractive and there isn't much going on. This is one of the best keyboard boxes I've seen in a while and just looking at the box you'll understand why the title of this review is written the way it is.

The NuPhy Field75 is unapologetically artsy, and it starts out of the box. It's one of the most attractive boxes I've seen and it reminds me of those really cool GPU boxes we used to get a while back. Yes, I'm talking about those wicked boxes that have some really crazy designs. NuPhy understands homework and is doing it right. Thankfully, the box isn't overbearing in any way. It looks great, and it's tastefully done, so I can't really complain about it.

Removing the sleeve reveals a completely matte black box with only Field 75 printed on it. There's no color, no fancy text, no anime waifu, just tastefully done box art that shows the company means business and isn't afraid to show it.

Lift the top cover and there you have it, the NuPhy Field75 sitting in all its glory inside its box. I love how NuPhy has made sure the unboxing experience is just as good as the keyboard itself. I know a lot of companies that screw up one aspect or another. Not so here, the keyboard looks just as good on the box as it does in real life.

Considering how the NuPhy Field75 is sold as pre-built only, there aren't any fancy accessories included in the box. If you're someone who wants a plug-and-play experience, this is the way to go. The box contains the keyboard itself, extra keycaps for MacOS, a switch puller and a keycap remover, a USB dongle, and the cable itself. There's also a small box that holds four extra switches in different types in case you want to replace it later. Yes, the keyboard has a hot-swap PCB for all your keyboard enthusiasts and the switch options are practically limitless.

Now, considering how the NuPhy Field75 is not a “custom keyboard”, some users may find themselves under the impression that NuPhy hasn't paid enough attention to detail in this keyboard. Well, I'm more than happy to report that it isn't. The keyboard can be customized as much as you want, and inside the keyboard, you will find everything that a good custom keyboard should have.

The NuPhy Field75 is built from the ground up like a custom keyboard. This means that inside the keyboard, you'll find a thick metal switch plate, plate poron, and PCB IXPE to ensure that the typing experience is as good as a custom keyboard. But if you think you want to go ahead and customize it even more, you can open it up and make changes to your heart's content.

Speaking of the typing experience, another thing that makes the NuPhy Field75 a lot of fun to type on is the use of the new Cherry Ergo Clear switches – these are factory labbed, and the Ergo Clear variant is made for those who Love to type because it has a very nice and clear tactile bump. I was a little worried at first because I've had a terrible experience with Cherry Brown switches because they're notorious for not having any noticeable tactile bump despite being tactile switches, but these are really nice, and when you type There is satisfaction. I can even say that the typing experience is as good as it is on the Gem80, and oh my god, I absolutely love the ghost spacebar that NuPhy performs. It's the best-sounding spacebar you'll find on a keyboard.

Since we're on the subject of switches, the NuPhy Field75 comes in four options: Cherry Silver Speed, Cherry Ergo Clear, Polaris, and Fleeting Gold. But since you're looking at a keyboard with a hot-swappable PCB, NuPhy allows you to choose from a total of 16 switch options, making this keyboard one of the best in terms of switch selection. . I've also tested the mint switches, and they're among my favorites, right next to those amazing Ergo Clear switches from Cherry.

Now, what I'm going to tell you guys is something that might make some of you sad. The NuPhy Field75 is not compatible with QMK/VIA like its other siblings. However, it has its own console, and honestly, it works pretty well for a pre-built keyboard. Sure, granular customization isn't something you'll be able to enjoy but with the NuPhy console, you get access to all the basic functionality you need.

The NuPhy Field75 has better lighting effects than the Gem80, mind you. And thanks to the LED lights on the north side, you have access to more options in terms of lighting through the keycaps, and the RGB is also relatively bright. You can take a look at RGB below.

Now keep in mind that this keycap set is non-shine throw, but NuPhy sells the set in the same color as shine throw. So, if you ever want to go ahead and spend your money on it, you can go ahead and do so. In either case, I think the RGB lighting is tastefully done, and the Field 75's steampunk-ish design is enough to make the keyboard a welcome addition to your gaming desk. I don't believe in the idea of ​​having two keyboards, but if I had the chance, the Field 75 and Gem80 would be two keyboards on my setup.

Circling back to the software, the NuPhy Field75's console works just as well as any other software. It's easy to use and navigate, and I believe it was developed by the same team that developed the console for the Lofree Edge because of how similar they look. Of course it has more features. You can take a look at everything in this software below. Keep in mind that for the console to work, you'll need to remove the 2.4GHz dongle and connect the keyboard with a cable. Plugging in a dongle won't let you customize the keyboard.

The NuPhy Field75 is one of the best gaming keyboards I've had the chance to use. I would even call it Gem80 Lite because it does a lot of what Gem80 does but without the high cost. As a matter of fact, it also has some features that I wish were part of Gem80. For example, there are eight additional programmable keys that you can program for anything you want. Not to forget, it has a volume knob, as well as an additional knob that lets you adjust the RGB brightness on the fly. It also has height-adjusting feet that allow it to sit on top of a laptop keyboard, something that gets overlooked all the time.

I might even say that I would rank it ahead of the NuPhy Gem80 because of how these two keyboards trade off of each other. On that note, I would like to wish NuPhy all the best for their future releases. The NuPhy Field75 is an absolute joy to use, and it solidifies NuPhy as a company that's genuinely interested in making keyboards so good that you take them out of the box and start with them. . I've never seen a keyboard company as good at providing a consistent experience as NuPhy, and I hope to continue working with them on their future products.
