nuphy Air75 Mechanical Keyboard, 75% Low Profile Wireless Keyboard, Supports Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4G and Wired Connection, Compatible with Windows and Mac OS Systems-Gateron Blue Switch

The keyboard is definitely a great product, but it would sure help if one could rely on something more than intuition to figure out how to set it up. The large, showy sheet of setup instructions has English instructions that read like they were translated from Chinese by way of Latvian and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. What are we to make of Short press to switch between devices, long press 3 seconds to enter pairing mode. Plug the 2.4 GHz receiver into your computer before pressing FN + 4? Translation: If you want to use this keyboard with multiple devices, hold down the FN key while pressing the 1, 2, or 3 keys for just a second. This will connect the keyboard with up to three different Bluetooth devices. If, on the other hand, you wish to connect through our high-speed 2.4 GHz dongle (the little black thing that plugs into a USB port), then plug it into a USB port of your computer, then briefly press the FN key and the 4 key simultaneously. There are some videos showing how to remove the keyboard and its components from the box, but I figured out how to open a cardboard box when I was four years old. What I would have liked is a video explaining how to connect the keyboard to my computer. Perhaps theres one in that pile, but I didnt see it. Why isnt there online documentation? The keyboard bristles with snazzy features that are explained on the Quick Guide in the same garbled English. Product designers should understand that a feature that your customers cannot understand is a waste of effort. This is obviously a high-quality product that is sabotaged by execrable documentation and an atrocious user interface. A keyboard that requires documentation reminds me of the first mouse for Windows back in the 1980s: it came with massive documentation. For a mouse! The proper documentation for a keyboard should read: Turn it on. Start typing.

First mechanical keyboard in a while. I usually use the Apple magic keyboard which was my favorite and was skeptical I could adapt to a mechanical keyboard again. After using for a little over a month Ive not only adapted but now prefer it. I use this on my work and personal MacBook, usually on bluetooth and thankfully it has great support for multiple bluetooth devices (fn+1,2,3 to switch, awesome). I charge it every few days and leave the backlight on low. The keycap colors are not my favorite, but they are my first PBT keycaps and wow, they really do feel much better than typical keycaps. Switches are hot swappable (so you can change OR fix broken ones easily) and key attachments are standard. You can use any standard keycap here, but sadly theres almost nobody else making standard super low profile keycaps like this board has. All the competitors (Logitech, cascade, etc) use at least some wonky stabilizer positions so many of their keys are only compatible with their boards (sad. I tried the Azio ones here, no go). I compared this keyboard with several others (Vissles, keychron, azio cascade slim, Logitech). I opted for this one based on reviews, and b/c its the most standard of all the others which all have some form of proprietary only works with my brand stabilizer or keycaps. A month in very happy with my decision.

This keyboard feels really smooth on your finger tips. I havent had any issues with it, the connection with the usb dongle has been responsive. Switches: Red

I rotated between my Keychron K4 and Apple Magic Keyboards (full and mini). I found the former to sit high and is too heavy. At the same time, the latter is too flat and isnt Windows-friendly. The Nuphy75 is Windows-frjendly, feels excellent, is comfortably low, and lacking a # pad does not hurt productivity. I do IT, and this is perfect for me. Color is nice too, just wish I got the shine through keycaps. I was looking at the Logitech MX keys, but I would run into the same issues mentioned prior.

I bought this keyboard for work, to help with my productivity and ease of use writing/programming on a Mac. However, it ended up being unusable for me. I wish I had returned it during the return window instead of trying to get used to it. The form factor and key spacing is smaller than a normal keyboard, which caused me to make many mistakes and so I had to slow down my typing a lot. I think it literally contributed to a kind of brain fog as I was concentrating on typing vs just doing it. This coupled with the fact that they placed a function key where the right-option key would be on a mac keyboard made it unusable for my programming and text editing workflow. (On Mac, option+left/right jumps between words and option+delete deletes whole words, and the right option is most convenient given the placement of those other keys.) I couldnt manage to rebind the function key to an option key in software (Karabiner Elements), ultimately because the function key was issuing some kind of vendor-specific/hardware-specific key code to the computer. I couldnt find software for Mac from the manufacturer that could rebind the keys for me. I also found the keys squishy and unpleasant to type on. Its a nice keyboard otherwise: good looks, nice lights, nice build quality. Other people here seem to love it, giving it great reviews which is why I tried it. But its now sitting elsewhere on my desk collecting dust while I plugged in some dime-a-dozen full-sized Dell keyboard that works way better for me. I cannot recommend this to anyone who programs or does a lot of text editing on Mac and is likely to encounter similar issues to me.

They look amazing, they feel nice to type on. The build quality is amazing. I forgot when I got something that matches the pictures. What fresh of breath air.

Compared to the Keychron K3, this board feels very well built. Switches, caps, case, lighting - all feel premium in comparison. Layout and accuracy feel very natural when any Keychron always felt just a little off. The pictures do it justice, actually delivering on affordable quality with all the cool features you want, except one major flaw. Like other keyboards, this one tries to get cute with the Function keys. Most people dont care, but when you use F5 and F6 day in and day out youll quickly find that they are jacked up. They do not respect macOSs Use as standard function keys setting. The latest firmware fixes F5 and F6 while ruining all other F key settings. So I downloaded their console app where it wanted another firmware update... That reverted the F5/F6 situation but the software is completely useless. Ive tried all combinations of Mac mode, Windows mode, old firmware, new firmware, console app configuration - nothing makes the keyboard work 100% like it should. At the end of the day this is a beta product and the software/firmware are very flawed. Sometimes I just wish we had simple boards again. I guess we cannot have modern design without modern problems. Their discord channel is full of people having similar issues to mine. Frustrated and annoyed by slow development.

Pros: 75% form factor (LOVE IT) The color profile looks really great. Key travel also feels great. Cons: Kind of clacky (Not a fan of, but this is because of the thickness of the keyoboard I think) Hollow sound from body (Another tradeoff given the size/thickness of the body.) Battery dies faster than expected. (but again in this form factor, understandable)

Somehow got used one, on the box its even says renewed... If that was really just my mistake - then fine, thats ok, if it works - Im ok with that. But there were no keycap/switch puller and 2.4G reciever in the box. Overall quality of the keyboard is good.

Be careful not to press the MICROSOFT TEAMS button, it will close out whatever you’re doing and try to log you into teams. Seriously why, like if I want to go to teams I’ll open it up by clicking on it.
