Our Verdict

NuPhy Node Series

Ducky OK-M

Both the NuPhy Node Series and Ducky OK-M series are lineups of wireless mechanical keyboards. The NuPhy boards are available in standard-profile and low-profile versions, with 75% and 100% sizes and linear, tactile, or silent linear switch options. They also have more robust build quality, better gaming performance, and more extensive software options. The Ducky boards, on the other hand, are only available as standard-profile models, in 65%, 75%, and 98% sizes, with either tactile or linear switches.
