NuPhy's Hall effect gaming keyboards, like the Air60 HE we previouisly reviewed , Halo65 HE, and BH65, are pitched as alternatives to the likes of the Wooting 60HE, but one major concern for a lot of prospective buyers is the lack of support for analog input and controller emulation. A recent post on r/NuPhy on Reddit, however, revealed that NuPhy is currently testing analog input for its entire range of HE gaming keyboards, which would conceivably make them some of the most affordable Hall effect boards with the feature—when it eventually lands. It's still unclear when exactly the feature will launch to NuPhy's keyboards, but NuPhy recently launched a beta version of its NuPhyIO 2.0 web driver to test new features, so it stands to reason that it will be launched in an upcoming update to NuPhyIO.

The idea behind controller emulation is that you can map controller triggers and joystick inputs to specific keyboard switches so that the HE sensors and switches emulate the analog input of a controller instead of the binary input of traditional mechanical switches. The lack of controller emulation isn't a problem unique to NuPhy keyboards, with only a handful of Hall effect keyboards from brands like Wooting and Keychron currently supporting the feature.
