nuphy Air75 V2 Portable 75% Mechanical Keyboard,Wireless Keyboard,Supports Bluetooth/2.4G/USB-C RGB Gaming Keyboard,Compatible with Windows/Mac OS/Linux Systems White-Gateron Brown Switch

TLDR Between the K3 Pro and Air75 v2, I much prefer the Nuphy Air75 v2 because of its superior build quality, better typing sound, reliability, and overall typing experience. With the Keychron K3 Pro, I found myself wondering if there was another keyboard that had a more refined typing experience. I am completely satisfied with the Air75 v2 after almost a month of use, and would definitely recommend this to anyone in the market for a new wireless mechanical keyboard. It’s a pleasure to type on and you won’t regret it! Background: I was in the market for a new mechanical keyboard, and my criteria were: (1) Smaller footprint for portability and to save room on my desk (2) Must provide great typing experience both in terms of tactile feedback and sound (3) Must have good battery life (4) Must have reliable bluetooth/wireless connection (5) Aesthetically pleasing to look at This review compares the two 75% layout keyboards I have tried: Keychron K3 Pro vs. Nuphy Air75 V2, and why I ultimately decided on keeping the latter. I ordered BROWN switches for both keyboards. BUILD QUALITY Both keyboards are well built, with an aluminum base/housing. Both the K3 and the Air75 come with PBS keycaps, which feel and sound much more substantial than ABS keycaps which feel and sound like cheap plastic. - K3 features a floating keycap design with no bezels on the board, meaning the keys are quite exposed. Picking up the K3 keyboard to move it makes me feel uncomfortable, as my fingers are pulling up at the sides of the keys, making me feel like it could damage the mechanisms overtime. The Air75 V2 has an aluminum housing featuring a thin bezel around the keyboard, which feels much better to pick up. - Key rattling is minimal on K3 but present, and it makes it feel just a little cheaper compared to the Air75 V2, which has no obvious key rattle. I’m sure the rattle on the K3 can be addressed by reapplying lube to your switches, but if you are looking for something with good sound and typing experience fresh out of the box, you’ll find that in the Nuphy Air75 v2. SOUND & TYPING EXPERIENCE If you are switching from a cheaper consumer keyboard like the Apple Magic Keyboard or other budget-friendly mechanical keyboards, you will find it a pleasant upgrade to both the K3 and Air75. However, comparing the two keyboards side by side, the Air75 sounds better to me and the difference was immediately obvious. K3’s sound compared to the Air75 is brighter, more hollow, and less refined. Because of there is a little play on some of the keycaps, there’s a slight rattle here and there, making the keys sound brighter and cheaper. Air75’s sound is solid, thocky, and solid. For the most part, the keys don’t have any real discernible rattle, so you’re not hearing anything else when you type besides that solid keystroke. Because the rattle really comes from the switches themselves, it is impossible to get a prelubed keyboard that’s “perfect”; you are bound to find a key or two that has just a little bit of rattle here and there, but nothing significant. If you happen to find a key that sounds off or doesn’t give the right kind of feedback, I suggest either reapplying lube to the switch, or switching out the actual switch itself for another (quick fix) and the problem can be resolved easily. I did not expect the typing sound and experience to be that drastic between Nuphy’s Air75 v2 and Keychron’s K3 Pro, but it really was apparent and made for a much more pleasant typing experience on the Air75. WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY This one is huge. The K3’s bluetooth capability was not reliable at all. Out of the box on Day 1, I was experiencing connectivity issues where the keyboard would suddenly disconnect, and would take a minute before it would reconnect again. It was interfering with my Apple Magic Mouse, which was also connected wirelessly to my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth. The Air75, however, has not given me any issues via Bluetooth at all, and has been consistently reliable through hours of use. WAKE-UP TIME FROM SLEEP MODE Similarly, the K3’s wakeup time took longer after it automatically went into sleep mode, which means your initial keystrokes are not recognized as quickly. Over time, this presents a productivity issue if you have to consistently wait for the keyboard to wake up before you start working. The Air75 wakes up immediately upon the first keystroke, which is a much more pleasant experience and it means I can get to work quicker. It has never had issues waking up and being connected wirelessly via bluetooth. SWITCHES I ordered BROWN switches for both the Keychron K3 Pro and the Nuphy Air75, which in theory should give the same typing experience. However, there is a more noticeable “bump” and tactile feedback from the brown switches on the Nuphy Air75 V2. Nuphy also ships with a collection of their different switches for you to try. After trying the other switches out, I find myself gravitating towards the Aloe switches, which are quieter and feel much more weightless. I ended up ordering a batch of Aloe switches directly from Nuphy, which I am excited to receive in a few months (the long shipping times directly from Nuphy is because they ship from China). The Gateron Browns feel good with a solid sound and gentle but noticeable bump/tactile feedback, but I feel like I will enjoy an even quieter and linear typing experience for faster typing speeds. LIGHTING EFFECTS The backlights on the K3 were decent, but mine was the white-color only. The backlights on the Air75 are brighter, and came in RGB, which I have been enjoying. The colors are rich, saturated, and the transitions are buttery and smooth. I like that there are two LED indicators on the side of the keyboard, which are multi-functional and indicate whether Caps Lock is engaged (left), connectivity (left) and keyboard battery status (right).

This is an outstanding keyboard. Has a great tactile feel while typing and so comfortable to use. I have tried so MANY of the keyboards available including some that are much much more expensive and this one by far stands out at the top of all. I use a keyboard most all day and night, but I am not a gamer. I also find that I can type much faster on this keyboard. I also have a Keychron on another system which is great but this Nuphy is even better. I am a a Mac user and the fact that this keyboard also has the correct control keys in the expected place for Mac users is also super helpful. Also like that it has a physical Mac mode switch on it. Highly recommended!

It's just amazing, the feeling of brown switches makes it worth, its construction is just well and is a rally useful tool for writing and programming, all the connectivity options make it worths it's value and it's portability is really good to carry on your package is it isn't bigger or heavy at all.

UPDATE AUGUST 22nd 2024, I'm a doofus! The key that is known as 'c' apparently just quit working within the terminal of PyCharm for my Windows PC, don't know how nor why, also not sure WHY I DIDN'T CHECK the key's aliveness lol, in another app or anywhere other than the PyCharm Terminal, lolol, I guess I never considered that randomly a certain key could quit working in only a specific application in a specific part of that application(I didn't even try it in the editor LOLOL what a goof?!)s tooling but... Alas, here we are! So battery life is meh, but I mean, I have the lights on as I am going blind(not really I'm just getting old and being overly dramatic) and they're some fancy fancy lights so... Shouldn't expect it to last all that long although! ALTHOUGH! Wait, I forgot where I was going there... I hate long Covid. anywho. UPDATE AUGUST 20, 2024** - Only after having it for a couple months the battery began to die incredibly quickly. - C key just quit working today, have had multiple connection issues, not sure if it's on my end though, but disappointing for such an expensive keyboard.... Ok so I returned the first one I got—I had not wanted to, rather, I did as many tests as I could think of to see if I was delusional — but — the board I received has an issue with the left cmd , shift and option keys when used in conjunction with any number key and with the arrow keys... BUT THE TYPING IS YUMMMMY. So I bought another one, I would have chose a replacement option but never see those anymore, absolutely love this board(it seems to be alright with 2.4ghz although there have been times when I feel like there were drop-outs but I'm also err'n on the side of Nuphy here, or... sorry COVID has wracked my brain for a year and half so my words can get rambled—but on bluetooth, it's just a no go, hopefully HOPEFULLY the new board (I don't expect it won't lolol) works properly with bluetooth as again, feels so nice to type on it... I've tried a few other low profile keyboards on the higher end of the $$ spectrum and this just decimates the competition, except for the bluetooth but I think it's just the board I received. I hope I hope I hope :D

To start with, I'm not a keyboard enthusiast -- this is my first mechanical because I wanted something easier to switch between computers than my Magic Keyboard. I've only used this for a day, but... wow. First, the design: the keyboard itself looks great. But what impressed me even more were the small details: the bottom of the case, the extra keycaps and switches you can try, the anime stickers, the USB-C cable, the bags used for packaging -- everything feels premium, fun, and like there was care put into it. The guides on their website for how to update the firmware and use VIA were easy to find and follow. The actual sound and feel of typing has been nice to me, but again, I'm not that discerning in this area. In summary, unusually impressed with the experience they put together at this price point. Highly recommend.

Non existent customer support. Have a faulty battery that will not hold a charge at three months and getting the run around from “support”. Was told to “disassemble the keyboard to see if the wires are connected”. A total joke. Will never buy a nuphy product again and urge you to go for another company as well. Also, if you allow the keyboard to sleep it misses your keystrokes upon waking. Wish I never bought this thing.

Wireless performance sucks pretty bad. Only way I can tolerate using it is in wired mode. Everything else about it feels amazing though. I'm very happy with the hot-swapable brown switches. When it works, it works. When it doesn't, it sure doesn't.

love it. high-quality keyboard, low-profile which makes typing a joy compared to previous keyboard.

The keyboard is built really well and is compact enough to travel with it. The 75% key size is sufficient for most use. The typing sounds phenomenal! I got the one with brown switches, it's the right combination of sound and "thotch feel." One of the best features of this keyboard is the customization. Your can modify according to your needs. The battery size and life is great. If you get this, you won't regret! The only minor issue is the connecting cable is USB C to A. I wish it was C to C

Funciona na perfeição.

Esta super bonito el teclado!, me da una sensación que escribes más rápido, esto me parece que es por el low profile, se siente bien construido, lo puedes usar por bluetooth o por cable, tiene iluminación RGB pero las letras de cada key no se iluminan. Me falta probar la duración de la batería. Por el momento me dejo una buena sensación de calidad, seguiré probándolo.

The Nuphy Air75 V2 is honestly one of the best keyboards I’ve had so far. The build quality feels excellent, and typing on it is very comfortable and smooth. The low-profile design looks great on the desk and is also practical for long typing sessions. It connects easily and works reliably, whether for work or everyday use. Overall, I’m really impressed with this keyboard and would definitely recommend it.

La caja del producto( de la marca nuphy) venía con sellos abiertos, tenía teclas sueltas y las coloque pero se caen, no me permite devolución o subir fotos de la caja( traía mancha negras). Posiblemente sea usada, pérdida de dinero
