Our Verdict

NuPhy Field75 HE

SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3

The NuPhy Field75 HE and the SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3 are wired analog gaming keyboards. The NuPhy has a higher performance ceiling and supports an 8000Hz polling rate, which provides a small but measurable latency benefit. It also has better build quality and delivers a slightly superior overall typing experience with better key stabilization and less unwanted noise, though it is louder. Additionally, it has two sets of dedicated macro keys, which are lacking on the SteelSeries. Comparatively, the SteelSeries has a larger full-size form factor and includes a wrist rest and programmable OLED screen, which the NuPhy lacks. Unfortunately, the SteelSeries also suffers from much less accurate actuation settings.
