NuPhy widened the Node series in a way that matters more than a new switch color or a novelty control: the Node75 and Node100 now support ISO and JIS layouts, giving buyers in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan a real path into the line. The update landed on April 24, 2026, and it pushes the brand’s 75% and full-size boards beyond the usual ANSI-first default that still shuts out plenty of enthusiasts.

The layout details are the point. NuPhy is offering ISO versions for UK, German and French users, while the JIS model is aimed at Japan. On the JIS board, the fully split space bar comes with 2.25u and 2.75u keycaps, exactly the sort of bottom-row accommodation that makes a keyboard feel local instead of merely translated. For buyers who care about keycap compatibility, regional punctuation and daily typing comfort, that is not a cosmetic change. It is the difference between a board that fits the market and one that does not.

NuPhy is also keeping the pricing within reach for the category. The Node75 starts at $99.95 in ANSI and $109.95 in ISO, while the Node100 starts at $109.95 in ANSI-US and $119.95 in ISO or JIS. That $10 premium is modest enough to feel like an access fee rather than a penalty, especially on a line that comes in both low-profile and high-profile versions. NuPhy’s own product pages now list regional variants such as 75-ISO-British, 75-ISO-German, 75-ISO-French, 75-JIS-Japanese, 100-ISO-British, 100-ISO-German, 100-ISO-French and 100-JIS-Japanese.

The rest of the Node package is still aimed at everyday use. Both sizes are tri-mode wireless boards with hot-swappable switches, gasket-mount construction, RGB backlighting and NuPhyIO cloud configuration, and NuPhy says the line works with Mac, Windows and Linux. That positioning matters in offices where full-size boards still earn their desk space, especially for spreadsheet work, data entry and long-form typing.

The Node 100 first launched in December 2025, with earlier battery claims of up to 1,000 hours with RGB off, depending on whether users picked the 3,000 mAh low-profile version or the 4,000 mAh full-height model. NuPhy also attached a launch offer, with a free wrist rest for the first 200 orders of Node Series keyboards. Taken together, the new layout options make the brand’s promise sharper: serving the mechanical keyboard community means more than shipping a nice board. It means building for the layouts people actually live on.
