> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayIncredible 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.

> 3 dayThey 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.

> 3 dayGreat feel, relatively low lag when paired wirelessly. My only complaint is that the battery indicator is not very effective. One minute it’s at 20% and then it’s at zero. Really wish it was more consistent.

> 3 dayI really, really enjoy typing on this thing. The quality of the board is absolutely top notch. Its sturdy, it has great keycaps, there are some really nice little touches like hot swap, tasteful rgb, alternate win/mac layouts, and extra switches to try out the other colors. Itd be 5/5 for me if it wasnt for the USB-C port being on the top (pretty annoying) and the wireless being just a little bit too flaky for me to use it. For my use case, Im really not using the wireless modes anyway, but if youre looking for something to use on the couch for an HTPC or something I expect youll have a bad time with it. Absolutely stellar board if youre just looking for a nice, portable, low profile board to stack on top of your laptops built in keyboard, though.

> 3 dayOriginally my goal was just to get something compact so i could reclaim some desk space. And still has dedicated page up/down, home, end, and delete keys and Full sized arrow keys. Wired and wireless support is nice and I can easily swap between a few devices, so far battery life is good. I got one with blue switches aka the loud one. It isnt obnoxious, but still feels just right. RGB lighting is a gimmick but backlighting them does help. The one improvement that could be made would be to have used translucent plastic for the keycaps so the letters would be visible in the dark, but if you touch-type then it hardly matters.

> 3 dayNot 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).

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayI have used about 5 different boards in the last year or so and could never quite find the one that worked for me. I liked the experience of using a mechanical keyboard but found I was much faster and more accurate on a laptop style keyboard. That’s where the Nuphy Air 75 comes in… It’s kind of the best of both worlds for me- I get the low profile switch activation along with the feeling and sound of a mechanical board. I love it! I can’t recommend it enough for someone who is in the same type of situation. Also it’s extremely versatile, I can be typing on my main computer and with the touch of a button switch to my laptop or phone which makes it so easy to multitask. If you are looking at this, I highly encourage you to give it a try!

Greater than one weekVery decent quality. Aluminum upper shell with plastic bottom cover, no flex at all. Gateron switches is smooth. I got the brown switch, but the package also included one of each (red,blue, brown) as tester. Very attention to detail. Price is much more expensive than on NuPhy website. But comparable if factor in the ease of customer service and fast shipping. LED is RGB. Should be able to produce white, but not really white in the eye. When use as Bluetooth keyboard. The LED is not really bright. Pretty much unnoticeable in bright room. Key cap is not shine through, but is in very good quality. The only complaint is that software is lacking, especially on MacOS. It’s sad to see that the software is not existing on the platform the key caps is installed by default. Hence 4 stars only
