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

Not much of a mechanical keyboard user but I bought this keyboard after hearing all the reviews on how this is the best bluetooth and wireless mechanical keyboard for both mac and windows. I thought since this was only a little more expensive than the apple magic keyboard, might as well buy it since it has so many more features. While I was impressed with the keyboards connectivity, macros, and layout, I wasnt a fan of the way the keys felt. I ordered the brown switches and they felt a bit heavy to press. Also in combination with the PBT keycaps, the keys felt a bit too smooth and I felt like I couldnt grip on the keys. Usually Im able to type 120+ wpm but with this keyboard I could only hit around 90-100. I really wanted to like the keyboard because of all the features, but I decided that it wasnt worth it for the loss in typing speed that Im used to on other keyboards (including membrane and mechanical).

The keys feel great, switching between devices is easy, and I love the look. Not as thocky as my Nuphy Halo. Theres no place to store the dongle.

First the good: - The body is an aluminum case that feels good and doesnt slide around. - The low profile keys are a great. I can easily type 100 WPM with this keyboard. - It sounds nice. - I personally like the color profile. It pops without being garish. The unfortunate bad: Nothing but bugs with Windows 11 and Mac, numbered below: 1. Backlight and sidelight profile does not change when powered on and off. 2. The function keys (F1 through F12) do not work whatsoever. 3. The 2.4 Ghz dongle works but has major performance issues. 4. Support. 5. Software: The Nuphy Console does not work well.

Ive been looking for a keyboard that can comfortably type on, having multi-device function and with pbt keycap. This keyboard is low-profile with PBT keycap, multi-device functionality, well built/packaging and stickers and in a resonable price. I would recommend to go with the brown switches that gives you a little bump/response when you type. This keyboard is simply the best TKL keyboard on the market for office right now. Way better than those logitech ones. Get it!!!! (If we can have a 100 keys version with numpad on this 75keys would be even better) Below are my expericen for the past year: Keyboards that Ive tested: Logitech G915 TKL Pros: low profile Cons: Pricy($175 on sale), no pbt keycap, getting oily after several months of regular use. Razer Huntsman TKL V2 elite linear switch: Pros: Extreme silent, PBT keycap Cons: Pricy($160), wired, too responsive for typing, can have a lot of typo Razer Huntsman TKL V2 elite clicky switch: (I mainly use it for gaming) Pros: Clicky, PBT keycap, 3.5mm total travel distance, 1.5 mm trigger distance. (Extremely good for typing) Cons: Pricy($150), wired, a bit annoying in the meeting because your colleague can hear you typing Corsair K70: Pros: linear switches, PBT keycap, $99 on sale Cons: Too responsive with 3.5mm total travel distance and 1.2 mm of trigger distance. Wire.

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.

This is my 3rd mechanical keyboard. I finally found one that I like. I really liked Keychron K3 because it had solid build quality, affordable, amazing RGB colors, and pretty design. But it was just too tall, and I really dont like using palm rest. Nuphy, while it costs 30% more, is worth the price of admission. It can be used without palm rest. All the keys have nice thock sound, so there is no need to modify to improve its acoustic. I also love its multi colored keyboard color scheme. I do use this keyboard exclusively in wired mode and I suggest most people do the same.

The keyboard itself is a nice design and feels well typing; as long as you are using the wired mode. The slim design is very comfortable. However, the 2.4 and Bluetooth wireless modes have horrible latency though. It is not worth using at all wirelessly, as it misses inputs like crazy. I get at least two missed input per every few seconds. Would recommend skipping this keyboard if you are looking for a wireless experience.

I ended up returning 3 copies of the keyboard due to minor cosmetic blemishes. The two procured straight from Nuphy were sealed in plastic and blem-free. __________ What’s not to love about this keyboard? The Nuphy Air75 is so far ahead of the competition in the sound and feel category. It has a signature thocc sound from factory which is awesome. There is seriously no other low-profile keyboard as good sounding as this. Yes, the Keychron K3 and K7 with brown, banana and/or red switches sound sooo mushy—there is no satisfaction. You can thocc, thocc, thocc with the Nuphy Air75 for days. I love this keyboard so much, I got two: one with red switches and the other with brown. Its wireless 2.4GHz and bluetooth connectivity have been solid so far. I particularly like the wireless option since it allows you to access the BIOS or Linux GRUB menu. Wireless connectivity is also best if you can’t live with the 2-second lag when waking up the keyboard/computer from sleep. The big plus among many is that it’s low profile and that there really is no need for a wrist rest. I like the all day comfort. Nuphy crew, if you’re looking, I just have one wish! Actually, two. It would be awesome to get a black/dark grey keycaps OR grey keycaps that has the same shade as the factory standard option. The midnight keycaps, though grey looking, have a sand/brownish shade to them. For those knocking stars off this keyboard for the “scratches” on the metal plate, please don’t. The metal plate has a thin film cover that can fool you. It can be tricky to remove, but it’s there. Remove it and you’ll see a clean, scratch-free, polished metal plate.

My box was a dented but it didnt affect anything inside it appears. The keyboard is low profile and the keys individually are slippery like a laptop, but I was still able to get high typing speeds when I took an online test. No complaints. Except price. Also came with stickers of some anime girl - not sure if this is a miss from the manufacturer as far as what demographics are buying it but Im a 50s male and this was a weird thing. Would have preferred something in Japanese or Chinese script. Little girly stickers though? A waste. lol

The plastic body isn’t rigid enough. It looks nice but loses out on the typing feel with plastic body and frame. Feels very shallow when typing on them.
