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

Incredible keyboard. The one drawback is when the keyboard approaches anything close to low-ish on battery, it starts missing and double pressing inputs. When at full power or plugged in, this thing types like a dream.

The red Gateron switches have a nice tactile feel to them and the keycaps feel good against my fingers as odd as that might sound. Connecting the keyboard was very simple. I have connected it via USB to my desktop and used Bluetooth to connect to my laptop and Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultra tablet. Using the NuPhy software to modify what certain keys do or adjust the RGB lighting is also nice. I would recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a compact mechanical keyboard that would be great on a desk or is portable enough to throw in a backpack.

For background, Im very picky with tech. This is my 3rd and hopefully last mechanical keyboard. I was looking for the following features: • TKL • low profile • wireless (2.4ghz specifically for no delay) • long battery life • swappable keycaps • hotswap switches • backlighting • around $100 • solid feel The Good In addition to satisfying the list of required features, Im very happy with the sound and feel of this keyboard • The board has a great weight and sturdy build due to the aluminum body • The function key row can default to F-keys or alternative functions (brightness/media/volume/etc.) if you update the firmware • The switches came pre-lubed so they have a very consistent feel (although re-lubing them would probably make this keyboard shine) • The default keycaps feel very nice with a slightly indented center and the color is pleasing to the eye • The backlighting has several presets and colors with an easy-to-use shortcut key system • The side lights are useful and customizable • There are several modding options for the enthusiasts • Not really my thing, but you may be pleased to know the Air 75 has an anime girl mascot and the keyboard comes with stickers and a poster on the rear side of the instructions The Bad Its taking a bit of time to get used to the low-profile keys (theyre a bit wider than standard keycaps so actuating them on the edges tends to press neighboring keys) • Theres a dedicated, non-re-mappable Siri/Cortana button

I 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.

I love it. It looks beautiful!

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.

I was looking for a low profile keyboard that was mechanical, had brown switches, supported mac, and was both wired and wireless. There arent many choices and I was considering the Keychron K3, but this keyboard checked more boxes and had better reviews. Coming from a TKL with normal height red switches, the Air75 took me about a week to get used to and to stop making typos. Overall its very satisfying to type on for a low profile keyboard and has a nice sound to it (brown switches). I use it mainly in wired mode and opted to buy a right angle braided USB cable from Ugreen for a cleaner look. If you are looking for a nice wrist wrest, this fits perfectly: Glorious Padded Keyboard Wrist Wrest (in Slim 17mm Size Compact). Pros: - High quality - Lots of features and options Cons: - The provided feet provide some angle, but not a lot. If you try and angle the keyboard more by propping it up on something, the angle is too steep and the bottom edge will hit your desk, making the keyboard very loud (no absorption). - I needed to update the firmware so the backlight settings would stick between unplugs. The link to the firmware was hosted on Google Drive, was Windows only, the file name had a Chinese extension that needed to be removed to work, and Windows warned before running the exe (not signed?). Not very professional, but it worked. - Not many keycap options

This is a good quality keyboard with a very low profile. There are not many keyboards with this profile out there. This does not require a wrist rest but I would recommend one if youre used to laptop keyboard. If you are planning to get away from the smushy and squishy membrane keyboards this is a very good option. I use it primarily for my regular office and personal work on a daily basis. I find it way better than any other keyboard Ive used in the past including Dell and Logitech ones. I have the tactile brown switches which is a good compromise between the clicky and linear switches. The feedback is subtle. I am not much into gaming but I do like the RGB lighting. The accompanying NuPhy console is also very good allowing you to program different aspects of the keyboard like keystrokes, macros, etc. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the keyboard is 20 bucks cheaper in the NuPhy website. I didnt have any issues so far. Ill post an update after I use it for some time.

The only bad thing about this keyboard is that the keys dont have transperant marking to let the back light through thus it is difficult to use it in the dark without memoriaing where all the non alphabet keys are.

I want to start this review by saying, I love this keyboard! I really like the textile feel of it — it feels very solid, it’s beautiful, etc. HOWEVER, the battery life fully depletes after a day and a half of working, which is unacceptable. I’m not sure if I just got a bad keyboard, but after browsing other reviews, I am inclined to think this is just how this keyboard is. If you need this to be an ONLY wireless keyboard, for more than 10 hours of work, do not buy this keyboard. You’re going to have to just leave it plugged in for it to work.
