> 3 dayIve 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.

> 3 dayPros: 75% form factor (LOVE IT) The color profile looks really great. Key travel also feels great. Cons: Kind of clacky (Not a fan of, but this is because of the thickness of the keyoboard I think) Hollow sound from body (Another tradeoff given the size/thickness of the body.) Battery dies faster than expected. (but again in this form factor, understandable)

> 3 dayI tried so hard to like this keyboard that I actually packed it to return it, unpacked it again to give it another shot, only to ultimately pack it up again to be returned... FOUR TIMES lol. The keyboard looks great. Its definitely more thin than most and the keys sound great (I got clicky blue). I am a software engineer and type ~8-10 hours a day, wether for work, gaming or browsing. I have been using my Apple magic KB for years and wanted something mechanical again for a while. I purchased 3 keyboards because I couldnt make up my mind. I got this one, the keychron v4 and the logitech mx mini wireless. The logitech kb arrived first and it was great. It just felt...boring, I guess with no fancy rgbs/ key colors, if thats what youre into. Coming from the magic kb, I had to purchase a wrist wrest for it. The keychron came next but it nowhere near the logitech, imo so I returned it immediately. Last came the nuphy. I loved how it looked and felt out the box. It felt great typing on it before I actually turned it on. I used it for a couple of days and noticed a couple of things though First, I did need a wrist rest for it. It is thin, but nothing like the magic keyboard. I found that even after the first day, my palm was getting a little tingly and using my wrist rest immediately resolved my pain. Second, certain keys, like backspace and enter sometimes needed to be hit twice to register. At first I thought maybe I just wasnt used to the kb yet, but it started happening more frequently and became very obvious. This issue didnt happen a single time with logitech. I tried to overlook it because the kb itself looks more appealing than the logitech, but in the end, I boxed it back up to return it. The logitech feels much higher quality overall and has super helpful features for me like having designated bluetooth keys to easily switch between machines by just tapping a button. I would be interested in maybe trying newer versions of this if they iterate on it in the future.

Greater than one weekThis has got to be one of my most pleasant buying experiences in a long time. I went down a rabbit hole when searching for a new keyboard for gaming and programming, and obsessed over low profile gaming keyboards with smooth linear switches, specifically the G915. I love the look and feel of keyboards like this, but this one came up on my radar twice and I was wholly convinced it checked all the boxes for me: -sleek low profile, elegant and attractive design -smooth, silent, linear switches with perfect acoustics and feedback -solid build quality: aluminum frame, PBT key caps!!! Sexy clear back case and stunning stainless steel logo plate -wireless option with USB-c!!! -….and RGB. God help me I love this subtle and stunning RGB style of this board My only complaint so far is that the first power up doesn’t always connect with the dongle in my PC, I often have to switch it off and on again to connect, Also I frequently mistakenly activate Bluetooth mode, and have to try to remember how to shut it off again, but that’s just a matter of learning the keys Great purchase, would recommend for anyone and everyone. If you don’t have the budget for this, make room and you’ll never be sorry

> 3 dayI will note first I have many keyboards, from Topres to mechanical to buckling to membrane to scissor. In my quest to find a comfortable daily typing keyboard (to replace my daily-driver 2012 MBP chicklet keyboard) I acquired one of these NuPhys, specifically for its novelty in offering the low-profile mechanical keys with PBT caps, opting for blue-switches for typing emphasis. Upon reception I was immediately impressed by the build quality and presentation. The designers clearly put effort into the keyboard and the thinking behind it. I had recently grabbed a Keychron K3 with similar specs but found the keys too crowded and with poor keycaps (though I believe they offer PBT caps on their site, if in stock); meanwhile the NuPhy held me in excitement, it feels more robust and inviting while still keeping a small profile. The chassis feels sturdy and minimal, the feet adequately keep it from moving, and the arrow keys in this format work well. The wireless options are standard, but I did appreciate them including a wireless dongle on top of the Bluetooth (though the dongle has no markings on it to designate it is paired to this keyboard, and it will be easy to lose without some kind of socket for holding on the board itself). The keys are truly the selling point here, the design choices just reinforce that I felt good buying it (which isnt the case with other keyboards). But it becomes a very specific kind of feeling. Honestly I grew to resent that I had ordered a blue-switch setup - the keys, with their almost cartoon friendliness in sculpting and low travel time, somehow do not read as clicky to me after use like a chicklet does; I should have opted for brown-switch or even red-switches and the pleasant thunk that the frame relates (which seems unique to this board) and it would have felt a much more integrated experience. Somehow the clicking detracts from the roundness or softness that the rest of the board really suggests to me. This became more apparent when I swapped out some of the switches with included singles of the others, and luckily, if I am so interested, I can order a set of the other switches and exploit the difference thanks to the hotswappable nature. Which doesnt make much sense to me otherwise - since I cant imagine personally using more than one switch type for the whole board. Maybe I will break down and try some kind of maddening dual-switch setup later after I have gone insane from the opulence of modern keyboardery. As for the lighting, I prefer it off and it was not a selling point to me. If they wanted it to be, the keycaps being opaque was the wrong call, as the (seemingly impressive) lighting system becomes a kind of disinterested back-glow. Im a touch typist so I could care less. Notable the F and J key nibs are somewhat subtle, I would prefer them to be just slightly more pronounced. Despite being a touch typist, I find myself using my wrists more and seeking more verticality in typing, I think also simply an affect of its aesthetics, though perhaps it is that the keys somehow feel almost too large (their unique sculpting probably adding to this) so I feel I need to move more than I would otherwise, but this could all come with familiarity and habitual use. A note on a strange limitation I found was that the function keys default to non-function key functions (ex brightness, volume), and one has to download and install new firmware to remedy this very specific thing. This was honestly almost a complete deal breaker, and I only saw it after I received the unit. In the end perhaps my ideal would have been the version without the function keys, in brown or red switches, just the straight Air60 model as a simple dedicated keyboard for prose or journaling. For that it would offer a unique (and dare I say fun?) experience. I am still intrigued and excited by the board, purely on its aesthetics and form and the experience it offers in typing, and it stands out among many of the others I have collected for its design - so I am happy to have supported NuPhy and will be curious to see what they continue to do in this field. Ideally I would rate this 4.5 but will give it a 5/5 to promote it over a 4/5, given those two options.

Greater than one weekThe 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.

> 3 dayTyping is good and quite precise. Good deal if you looking keyboard for typing and have time and $ to mod it. For gaming would stick with logitech g915 tkl tactile.

> 3 dayKeyboard is great to use. They sent me a blank key instead of the left side alt key, but customer service has been quick to respond to resolve the issue.

> 3 dayThis was a really nice piece of hardware. Good clickiness. Wish the instructions were a bit clearer about how to change between computers. Found those online. But other than that it’s great.
