I was hesitant to buy this, as there was another board that I liked that had similar specs but potentially better switches and an aluminium frame.

I hit the bullet and got this with Wisteria switches. I’ve got to admit I’m really impressed.

The good:

• The wireless connection modes are all easy to use and reliable (I use Mac & Windows, so the swapping and mapping is key important)

• The switches do feel good, and the sound and feel of the board is generally very good (the space bar is dampened and the stabilisers are good)

• The build quality is very good for a plastic build. It’s definitely on the upper end of what’s possible with plastic (I’d love to see an aluminium frame)

• The media controls work on Mac and Windows without using function keys. This is a big win for me.

The bad:

• The keyboard is supposed to be supported by key remapping software available on Chrome (advertised as supported) but the keyboard isn’t on their list and doesn’t interact with the software.

• I’d personally love a silent tactile (like many other who work in areas where noise matters), but have to admit the standard switches aren’t that noisy sey

My recommendations to Nuphy:

• Add silent switch options (and any other switches you think will be popular. More switches = better product family)

• Consider an aluminium chassis

• Consider a volume dial (although their media controls are some of the best I’ve used)

Summary: After owning several full sized mech keyboards over the years, having tried this low profile air75 I can not see switching back.

It’s functional cross platform, and has a nice posture that makes it more friendly for typing. You don’t lose out of mechanical switches, but you have to live with a smaller switch family.

I’d recommend this for people who are productivity focused; but playing games is also very fluid and enjoyable on this.

I can see this keyboard having several more iterations in the future. I hope to see them grow their switch family, and also innovate in the areas that are available to them.

Having said that, I think the LP mech keyboard market is in a state where I could recommend entering into. This hasn’t always been the case, but you can now buy a keyboard like this which will work for the average user very well.

After watching bunch of reviews and trying several other mechboards, I decided to get this low profile board a try to see if it can live up the its hype. I am gamer and love to slouch during the nights in my bean bag about 2m away from my desktop and play games on large projector screen. My trusty yet totally non-customizible G915 started to misbehave, so went to Nuphy hyped properly to give it a shot despite not being a fan of such crammed design and would have much rather if Nuphy would have TKL low profile keyboard with north facing RGBs like this one.

My first disappointed came when I ve realised that the keycaps are not shine-through but one needs to buy them extra, that left my head scratching given the RGB lights that do nothing else than drain battery and annoy as there is little use of them otherwise.

Next annoyance came with VIA, which does not even allow mapping RGB per keycap like my previous board via Ghub.

But the MASSIVE disappointment came when I moved from my desk to my usual spot and tried to use the board from there. Constant connectivity problems start hitting in about 5sec intervals, so I could not write a sentence. Discord suggested I upgrade the firmware, looked on the hefty amounts of firmwares that were deployed so far, I tried bunch without any luck, even tried some custom ones with no bueno. Then someone recommended to actual update RF firmware, whoa - again tried bunch of them including the latest with zero gains.

Where Logitech board would not suffer a single hiccup in days, Nuphy showed that wireless really is more of an afterthought rather then a feature and only work from super close distance which defeats the point of having it at all.

The greatest irony of it is that some YTubers even claim that this is an universal problem of all V2 keyboards and that V1 boards were having better range and stability. I cannot accept that in 2024 the wireless technology on custom boards is still stuck in ancient times. Really disappointed with this board.

Hello I'm new to the world of mechanical keyboards and the sources kept on recommending the NuPhy Air75 V2, so I wanted to ask a few question about the basic model (the one you buy without extra stuff):

- Are the keys visible at night? (in a way that they shine so it have better visibility)
- How much loud are the keys? (I saw a youtube video where the guy said it is considerably loud)

- Choosing a specific type of switches (I know nothing about it btw)

Feel free to bring to my knowledge other things I should consider (such as buying extra caps, etc).
