The NuPhy Halo 65 is a premium 65% compact wireless mechanical keyboard known for its solid aluminum unibody frame, distinctive "Halo" lighting, and excellent typing acoustics. It is designed for Mac, Windows, and Android users, offering tri-mode connectivity (2.4G, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C) and a 4000mAh battery. It is usually used in conjunction with premium PBT keycaps, the hot-swappable PCB supports 3-pin and 5-pin switches.

It utilizes a gasket-mount design, silicone plate/PCB dampeners, and a special GhostBar spacebar to improve acoustics (though some users have complained about this). Additionally, it is compatible with QMK/VIA for advanced remapping and macros. The keyboard’s main audience is professionals, creatives, and mechanical keyboard enthusiasts seeking a compact and aesthetic typing experience. Gamers love the high-end, customizable keyboard with a superior typing feel and multi-device wireless connectivity.

It was released in November 2022, and typically retails for $119.95. The keyboard is not strictly exclusive to certain countries, however, its direct shipping availability is primarily concentrated in a few areas. As a Chinese manufacturer, NuPhy ships directly from China to a number of locations, including North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of Oceania. To make room for the Halo V2 series, the NuPhy Halo 65 was essentially discontinued by late 2024 or early 2025. This version improves upon the original with a stricter PCB gasket mount, six-layer acoustic damping, and superior 1000Hz 2.4GHz wireless performance.

As for the user experience of the Halo 65, there have been several customer service complaints regarding poor response times, difficulties in initiating returns, and requests for video evidence of issues. Customers often complain about the return procedure, which offers only a 30% refund for damaged items rather than complete returns. On the other hand, many customers compliment the typing experience, emphasizing the pleasing "thocky" sound, sturdy construction of the aluminum frame, attractive appearance (especially the RGB "halo" strip), and the practical hot-swappable switch feature.

The NuPhy Halo 65 can be distinguished by other NuPhy keyboards by searching for the Halo series. The continued keyboards of the Halo series have an "Iconic White" exterior, with the Halo 65 specifically having bright LED lights on the side and underside of the keyboard when on. The Halo 65 has a PCB gasket mount, LED homing bars, hot-swappable keys, a sidelight and south-facing backlight.
