NuPhy has introduced a new accessory for its low-profile mechanical keyboard lineup with the release of the NuPhy x Riel Aquarium nSA keycap set. Priced at $49.95 and available through the company’s official website, the new set expands NuPhy’s portfolio shortly after the launch of its Node series keyboards and the V3 update to the Air series. The move reflects NuPhy’s continued focus on building a broader ecosystem around its low-profile platform.
The Aquarium keycap set was developed in collaboration with designer Riel and is manufactured by KeyTok. It uses NuPhy’s proprietary nSA profile, a uniform-height, low-profile design that is already featured on several of the brand’s pre-built keyboards. Because the profile maintains the same height across all rows, users can expect consistent key feel across different layouts, including compact and non-traditional configurations.
The design centers around a sea-life theme, with blue tones dominating the main key cluster. Off-white alphanumeric and modifier keys balance the color scheme, while orange accent keys are included for navigation areas to add contrast. The set also provides alternative white and blue modifier keycaps featuring aquarium-themed illustrations, allowing users to customize the look without replacing the entire layout. The visual approach aligns with the growing demand for themed mechanical keyboard keycap sets, particularly within the low-profile segment.
In terms of materials, the Aquarium nSA set is made from five-sided dye-sublimated PBT. This construction is commonly preferred for its durability and resistance to surface shine over extended use. The legends are embedded using dye-sublimation, which helps maintain clarity over time. The full kit includes 159 keycaps, offering support for a wide range of layouts. Thanks to the uniform nSA profile, compatibility extends to ortholinear boards and smaller form factor keyboards with split spacebar configurations.
With the introduction of the NuPhy x Riel Aquarium nSA keycap set, NuPhy continues to strengthen its position in the mid-range low-profile mechanical keyboard market. The $49.95 pricing places it competitively among other PBT keycap sets while providing broad compatibility and a cohesive theme designed specifically for low-profile users.
