> 24 hourFirst 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.

> 24 hourI have gone through many low profile mechanical keyboards. I have used the Logitech g915 TKL, and Keychron low profile mechanical keyboard. The switches on the Logitech felt squishy and just didnt have a good feel to them, also requires software to install to operate it with the its high speed connector. The Keychron was great but the mechanical switches felt very scratchy and inconsistent, for example several of the keys felt great but majority of the keys for the shift and space bar felt scratchy and inconsistent. The switches on these are great, I am using the red switches, each of them are super smooth and there is no spring noise, the travel of each key feels smooth. The double shot pbt key caps are one of the best I have felt, and that being said these are low profile also. The keyboard has a nice THOC sound to it also thanks to the aluminum housing. Whats great is that due to its super thin profile and small nature you can put it on top of your laptops keyboard, and experience a far better typing experience. I did not opt in for the carrying case, but I have a simple padded pouch that I put this into and have had no trouble travelling with it so far. No software needed, everything can be done on the keyboard itself, it has an intuitive lighting system that can relay important information such as battery level, if caps lock is active and different profiles for Bluetooth. There are far more expensive low profile keyboards that feel a lot worse than this thing.

> 24 hourThis has got to be one of my most pleasant buying experiences in a long time. I went down a rabbit hole when searching for a new keyboard for gaming and programming, and obsessed over low profile gaming keyboards with smooth linear switches, specifically the G915. I love the look and feel of keyboards like this, but this one came up on my radar twice and I was wholly convinced it checked all the boxes for me: -sleek low profile, elegant and attractive design -smooth, silent, linear switches with perfect acoustics and feedback -solid build quality: aluminum frame, PBT key caps!!! Sexy clear back case and stunning stainless steel logo plate -wireless option with USB-c!!! -….and RGB. God help me I love this subtle and stunning RGB style of this board My only complaint so far is that the first power up doesn’t always connect with the dongle in my PC, I often have to switch it off and on again to connect, Also I frequently mistakenly activate Bluetooth mode, and have to try to remember how to shut it off again, but that’s just a matter of learning the keys Great purchase, would recommend for anyone and everyone. If you don’t have the budget for this, make room and you’ll never be sorry

> 24 hourThis is my second-ever mechanical keyboard- Ill admit, the low profile switches took a day of getting used to, but now that Im used to it its just as fun to type on while being 10 times as pretty. The keycaps are incredibly high quality and well-designed: no bootleg misprint icons to be found here. The build feels reasonably solid and the hot-swappable switches are a nice touch for if I ever want to try tactiles in the future. Some criticisms: The 2.4GHz dongle, according to the manufacturer, is unencrypted- but also it has a very short range. This makes it fairly useless, as with Macs, Bluetooth is a more reliable option with a wider range, and on PC, the one thing youd want it for, namely writing a boot password, is a security risk. I do not have the equipment or time to test if sniffing is possible, but I would err on the side of caution and use wired mode when your PC is booting. Bluetooth, however, works okay during boot on Mac and in the Operating System on Linux. My second criticism concerns Mac/Linux operation: the firmware is proprietary, and currently, key remapping software is only available for Windows. The manufacturer says the key remapper will also be available for macOS Summer 2022, which I will update this review if they deliver, but Id rather they open source the software and let the community handle it.

> 24 hourA surprisingly nice keyboard for general office/dev use. Only issue for me is that its not as low profile as expected. Ill definitely be picking up some wrist support bar soon. Very happy with it otherwise.

> 24 hourFirst of all, beautiful keyboard, nice touch, good quality. I love it. But there’s a big problem with the 2.4g wireless connection. I plugged the dongle in the back of my pc under the table. And then the connection becomes really poor. The typing was not delayed, it’s losing connection. I typed “connection”, then I got only part of the word, something like “tio”. I tried typing under the table near the dongle, it worked perfectly fine. This issue can be easily fixed, I know, just get an extension cable to place the dongle on the table. But I just want to point out the issue here. Because I have another wireless keyboard that I used for years, same scenario, no connection issue at all. Apart from the connection issue, this is a great keyboard. I like it a lot that I decide to just give up the wireless connection.

> 24 hourI 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.
