4. Operating Instructions

The NuPhy Air75 HE offers a range of advanced features to enhance your experience:

4.1. NuPhyIO Driver Customization

The self-developed NuPhyIO driver provides a user-friendly interface for comprehensive keyboard customization. You can adjust key sensitivity, remap keys, and configure lighting effects in real-time. Customizable adjustments appear instantly on the user interface, including real-time key sensitivity tweaks.

4.2. Rapid Trigger Technology

Air75 HE Magnetic Switches offer a sensitivity range of 0.1-3.3mm with a maximum adjustable accuracy of 0.01mm. This allows you to personalize the entire keyboard with a high degree of precision, meeting your requirements for high-precision key triggering. Keys can be actuated with minimal movement, and reset instantly upon release, providing a competitive edge in gaming.

4.3. One Key Dual Action

With One Key Dual Action, the NuPhy Air75 HE lets you assign two different movements to a single key based on varying actuation pressure. This enables you to execute two distinct styles with just one tap, drastically simplifying complex skill combinations. You'll be able to perform a sequence of actions instantly.

4.4. High Polling Rate

The keyboard features both an 8000Hz polling rate and an 8000Hz PCB scan rate. This significantly reduces latency compared to most other magnetic switch keyboards, making your inputs registered up to 50 times faster than traditional gaming keyboards.

4.5. Backlight Customization

The Air75 HE gaming keyboard supports various backlight modes, which can be adjusted via the web driver. The lighting can pulsate with your every keystroke, enhancing the immersive experience, especially in gaming environments.

4.6. SOCD Function

When two bound keys are pressed simultaneously, the SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Directions) function allows you to customize the priority to choose to trigger only one of the keys or neither of them. This is particularly useful in fighting games or other applications requiring precise directional inputs.

4.7. Quick Profile Switching

The top dial on the Air75 HE magnetic switch keyboard allows for one-step switching between pre-set keyboard profiles. This eliminates the need to reconfigure keys for varying usage scenarios, making it easy to switch between different game settings or office work layouts.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your keyboard:
