World's First wireless mechanical keyboard specifically designed for your MacBook and other mobile devices

Before, excellent typing experience can only appear on the desk using the traditional keyboards. But when we work on a laptop outdoors, we may feel discomfort with its keyboard. And this discomfort is especially noticeable on the latest MacBooks. 

We want to make the mechanical keyboard much smaller and can also use on your mobile devices. This is the origin of NuType.


“Typing on the Nuphy NuType keyboard is a dream“ - KnowTechie

“We swear our productivity has improved because of the tactile and aural feedback, and the keyboard’s ability to pair with up to three different devices via Bluetooth, makes this a solid gift choice for someone whose workflow jumps from device to device.” - Design Milk

“Maintaining the slim construction the keyboard uses Kaihua Choc low profile mechanical switches which are 42 percent smaller than standard switches and provide an enjoyable tactile feel with a limited audible sound for use in all situations.” - HYPEBEAST

“NuPhy designed its mechanical keyboard to physically reside above the built-in keyboard of a MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. It “locks” into place using notches on the bottom that fit between and around the laptop’s keys.” - DigitalTrends

“底面のスタンドは、MacBookなどの標準的な英字配列のキーボードの隙間に収まるように設計されており、キーボードの上に載せても下のキーが押されないようになっているんです。ナイスアイデア。 ” - Gizimodo

42% shorter than the standard mechanical switches

The Kaihua Choc low profile mechanical switches used by NuType are 42% smaller than the standard mechanical keyboard switches. It guarantees that NuType implements the excellent experience in such a small volume.

 

Perfectly match your MacBook and Surface series

Nutype integrates with the laptop through a slot at the bottom giving a solid connection, exactly adapting to the MacBook series and Surface series.

 

Keep using your Touch Bar, Touch ID or function Keys

NuType is designed to give you a great typing experience, but at the same time you can continue to use everything you are familiar with, such as Force Touch Trackpad, Touch ID, Touch Bar or function keys.

 

All for improving your efficiency

For more key combinations, please see the manual.

Different people have different demands for their own keyboards. So we designed some key combinations to meet different needs. For example, you can press 'FN' + '~' to substitute the use of 'ESC' button. And 'FN' + 'OPT' + 'L' can convert numeric keys into function keys.

 

Sync up to 3 devices

NuType can pair with up to 3 different devices via Bluetooth, allowing you to switch between devices effortlessly, including Android phones and Windows PCs.

 

An elegant case, also a foldable stand for your mobile devices

We designed a SmartCase especially for NuType, which not only protects your keyboard but works as a stand to hold your mobile devices, helping you work on NuType anywhere at any time.

 

Over 20 Types Of RGB Backlits

Full RGB lighting with different backlight modes offers a new level of customization for your MacBook, reflecting your personality.

About Us

Nu + _Problem_.

  • New problems occur all the time.
  • Sometimes, we have to bear the problems forever.
  • To solve the problems, sometimes we make things more complicated.

Nu + _Method_.

  • We want to provide a new method that solves a problem in a simple and elegant way.
  • We spent a lot of time thinking, discussing and experimenting to figure out the best method.
  • These are the reasons why we produce new products slower than other companies and why we can make a difference.

This is NuPhy.
