> 3 dayEDIT: Not sure why its $109 on NuPhy website and $129 on Amazon, but they (NuPhy?) wont price match? So Im returning it...? The travel case $10 cheaper on mfgr website too. Im drooling over this keyboard right now Im using to write this very review. If youve never used a mechanical keyboard before, you may not fully appreciate everything this brings to the table, but I can assure you, this is an end game keyboard. Typing on this keyboard is an absolute pleasure; everything feels as though its exactly where it should be. Ill missing the the numeric side keys, but not that much... especially after I type away on this beautiful interface machine. Im traditionally a brown key man, so thats what I went with. Its amazing to type with. It feels good. Yeah, typing on a keyboard feels good. Theres nothing more to say. I switch between multiple devices daily. Did you know this keyboard interfaces via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi dongle and wired connection? Not only that, but that there are hard coded key combos so you can seamlessly switch between 4 different items? I use that sacred word seamlessly very lightly, but wow is this as smooth and fluffy as white chocolate mousse. My biggest beef is that there is no button that transforms this into a key fob. Thats my biggest beef.

> 3 dayReally love the feeling, interface and features of this keyboard. Probably one of my favorites. I spend a lot of time doing software development, so the dedicated DEL, PGUP, PGDN, HOME and END keys right next to the arrows are wonderful. Solid construction. Feels high-quality. Low profile board and keys themselves are nice. Wired and wireless work great. Mac/Windows compatibility is sufficient. The extra bits that are provided (Win/Mac keycaps, etc) are nice. You might want to reassign the digital assistant key to something more useful, but its a pain to do it. RGB lighting is okay, but nothing special. I prefer the PBT keycaps anyway. The only thing that is almost unbearable are the feet that elevate the back of the keyboard for comfortable typing. They are removable, magnetic rubberized feet and they are not securely attachable at all. This means that when you move the keyboard around, put it in a bag or otherwise handle it, you risk bumping the feet off of the keyboard and losing them. Losing one foot renders the other useless of course. Otherwise a great keyboard!

> 3 dayI usually don’t leave reviews but there are some products that I feel people should know are worth the money. We ordered one of these for one of our boys who saw a TikTok that said these were the best gaming keyboards. After Christmas my other son had to have one which we order from the manufacturer. (He wanted a different color.). These are definitely worth the money. Very well made…. Even though I am not a gamer I want one of these. I love typing on it!!!

> 3 dayI will note first I have many keyboards, from Topres to mechanical to buckling to membrane to scissor. In my quest to find a comfortable daily typing keyboard (to replace my daily-driver 2012 MBP chicklet keyboard) I acquired one of these NuPhys, specifically for its novelty in offering the low-profile mechanical keys with PBT caps, opting for blue-switches for typing emphasis. Upon reception I was immediately impressed by the build quality and presentation. The designers clearly put effort into the keyboard and the thinking behind it. I had recently grabbed a Keychron K3 with similar specs but found the keys too crowded and with poor keycaps (though I believe they offer PBT caps on their site, if in stock); meanwhile the NuPhy held me in excitement, it feels more robust and inviting while still keeping a small profile. The chassis feels sturdy and minimal, the feet adequately keep it from moving, and the arrow keys in this format work well. The wireless options are standard, but I did appreciate them including a wireless dongle on top of the Bluetooth (though the dongle has no markings on it to designate it is paired to this keyboard, and it will be easy to lose without some kind of socket for holding on the board itself). The keys are truly the selling point here, the design choices just reinforce that I felt good buying it (which isnt the case with other keyboards). But it becomes a very specific kind of feeling. Honestly I grew to resent that I had ordered a blue-switch setup - the keys, with their almost cartoon friendliness in sculpting and low travel time, somehow do not read as clicky to me after use like a chicklet does; I should have opted for brown-switch or even red-switches and the pleasant thunk that the frame relates (which seems unique to this board) and it would have felt a much more integrated experience. Somehow the clicking detracts from the roundness or softness that the rest of the board really suggests to me. This became more apparent when I swapped out some of the switches with included singles of the others, and luckily, if I am so interested, I can order a set of the other switches and exploit the difference thanks to the hotswappable nature. Which doesnt make much sense to me otherwise - since I cant imagine personally using more than one switch type for the whole board. Maybe I will break down and try some kind of maddening dual-switch setup later after I have gone insane from the opulence of modern keyboardery. As for the lighting, I prefer it off and it was not a selling point to me. If they wanted it to be, the keycaps being opaque was the wrong call, as the (seemingly impressive) lighting system becomes a kind of disinterested back-glow. Im a touch typist so I could care less. Notable the F and J key nibs are somewhat subtle, I would prefer them to be just slightly more pronounced. Despite being a touch typist, I find myself using my wrists more and seeking more verticality in typing, I think also simply an affect of its aesthetics, though perhaps it is that the keys somehow feel almost too large (their unique sculpting probably adding to this) so I feel I need to move more than I would otherwise, but this could all come with familiarity and habitual use. A note on a strange limitation I found was that the function keys default to non-function key functions (ex brightness, volume), and one has to download and install new firmware to remedy this very specific thing. This was honestly almost a complete deal breaker, and I only saw it after I received the unit. In the end perhaps my ideal would have been the version without the function keys, in brown or red switches, just the straight Air60 model as a simple dedicated keyboard for prose or journaling. For that it would offer a unique (and dare I say fun?) experience. I am still intrigued and excited by the board, purely on its aesthetics and form and the experience it offers in typing, and it stands out among many of the others I have collected for its design - so I am happy to have supported NuPhy and will be curious to see what they continue to do in this field. Ideally I would rate this 4.5 but will give it a 5/5 to promote it over a 4/5, given those two options.
