I didn't know about the Halo90 until last night. RIP my credit card.

Oh nice, and now I know this, too!

I will post more in a couple hours as I bang out a few emails

No need to apologize because I won't pretend to be an expert myself and we're always learning in one context or another. 🤝

BBKs are normal mechanical keyboard switches with a shorter travel distance of 3.4mm.

Having never used the Alpacca v2, both are 5-pin, but it appears that the Alpacca housings are opaque (and not clear), meaning that you'll lose out on the RGBs at the switch location.

Here's a picture of the Halo 65 with all the switches pulled. You'll see a north-side RGB at each switch location that the Alpacas would presumably block.

I have BBK on my other keyboard, and I am pleasantly surprised by the RG in my first experience using them for office-type work.

The Halo series has better build quality than the Air series, in my opinion, but the Air is ultimately more portable due to trading off a smaller battery for total package weight.

You'll have more options with modding the Halo because it's more straightforward to take apart than the Air. The Halo has better switches IMO and sounds better, too out of the box if that's your thing.

Hey there! I am a content creator, and Nuphy sent it to get my impressions. For transparency, the white version was given to me for free, but I bought my own (in black) when pre-orders went live because I'm a fan of their products.
