What will you mostly use it for?
The Node 100 has the edge for gaming, while the Flow 2 is the more compelling choice for programming, travel, and customization. Office use is a closer call: a numpad favors the Node 100, while silent switches and the touch bar favor the Flow 2. For content creation, the Flow 2’s specifically described volume and brightness controls are a useful differentiator. Both share wireless options and hot-swap support, but both also require low-profile keycaps and switches.
Pick the Nuphy Node 100
- The Nuphy Node 100 includes N-key rollover.
- Its vendor description lists SOCD support for gaming.
- Both keyboards list a 1000 Hz polling rate.
