Massive thumbs up for being one of the few reviews of this product that isn't a sponsored video.

I'd add that NuPhy has quietly decided to charge an extra $10 for their floral switches (cowberry, aloe, wisteria, moss) probably due to crazy demand. If you only want to pay the $119, stick to the original gateron switches.

I have a lot of respect for Nuphy because they’re always trying to improve their products instead of being egotistical and refuse to accept change. They thought the magnetic feet would be great, turns out they weren’t, so they changed it !

Great video man. But I do believe you forgot to mention one of the best features. FULL via/qmk compatibility. Ie: full remaps, macros and lighting control. That’s a HUGEEE plus coming form the v1 which only had the nuphy console support.

I like the keyboard but the problem I'm having is that it's a bit flakey. I get double key presses at times, sometimes it just drops the connection and won't type at all, and one time I had it send repeated keystrokes which would not stop until I turned it off. I've upgraded the firmware. Not sure what else to do. Maybe they will do some more firmware updates eventually.

Looking forward to getting my preorder but who knows when that will be. First they said all preorders would ship by 10/13 then I got an email saying they were behind but that they have all of them in the warehouse and “100% of preorders will ship by 10/20” but mine still hasn’t shipped. Not the best service but hopefully the keyboard will be better.

Excellent video, mate! My Air75 v2 shipped today.

bruhhh why is my cable not braded:( maybe because it was the pre order...?

[mroctober]

Would this be compatible with Onyx Boox e-ink tablets?

Hoping the v2 comes in a 96. I work with numbers all day

The one big thing that bothered me about the v1 was nowhere to store the wireless receiver USB dongle on the keyboard itself, and it seems like the v2 didn't address that. Larger battery capacity is nice of course, otherwise most of v2's improvements (1000Hz polling rate for 2.4G mode, QMK/VIA compatibility, foldable feet) don't matter to me. If I were given the choice between the two today, I might still go with the v1 regardless since it seems to be $20 cheaper right now.

I would want to try it out. In my experience, the low profiles feel too award for me to type on. It is a really good looking board and I was surprised by the sound coming out of it.

Very nice keyboard, on their site they have the shine through keycaps, I wonder if that would help with the lighting? I think, more than anything, people would like those to be the standard. I would not have it any other way. My RK has these shine through keycaps, and it is a pleasure to type on it. This one will be next on my list. Might be a nice Black Friday gift to myself.

[JESSEEEEM]

Hi I was wondering is it possible to make a keyboard exactly like I would want? For example if wanted to make the Enter button 5 times larger.

I've been a massive fan of the brand since the launch. I have the Halo range in all colours. I'm typing this on the new white Air 75v2. The only thing I don't like is the grey legends! They seem too faded for me. I know they are improved double-shot PBT, but I'm tempted to use the shine-through ones just to get a darker imprint. I also bought the black one too. It should be here in a few days or so. :)

Hot swappable means exactly that you can change the “keys” themselves. It’s not going “further”. Changing keycaps is pretty much something you can do on any keyboard provided to find ones that fit the
