About this item
- 【Translucent bottom shell design】 The overall layout of the Air75 V2 wireless keyboard is similar to that of the Air75, featuring a high-quality aluminum frame. However, we have adopted a new translucent design on the bottom case of the keyboard, which makes the internal structure of the Air75v2 clearly visible and fully utilizes the overall aesthetics of the keyboard. At the same time, we've added two height stands to the bottom of the keyboard to make it even more comfortable to use.
- 【Supports multi-device connectivity】Air75 V2 wireless mechanical keyboard is compatible with Mac/Windows/Linux/Android/iOS,and supports Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, 2.4g connectivity and wired connectivity modes, which allows you to connect up to 4 computer devices at the same time and switch between these computers to use them, which can satisfy a wide range of entertainment office needs
- 【Cool RGB Backlit Effect】The backlight of Air75 V2 has more than 21 different color effects, which can be easily changed using key combination. Through console, you can even limitlessly customize lighting effects(the keycaps are not backlit).We also added two RGB light bars on each side of the Air75 V2's aluminum frame. The left bar shows caps lock and connection mode, while the right bar shows battery level and system mode, so you can see the status of your keyboard more visually.
- 【More fun to use】 Air75 V2 with QMK/VIA. We believe with the full realization of our hardwares' potential under the new firmware, its open source code, the endless key remapping, light customization and other creative possibilities VIA offers our users, the fun has truly started
- 【Long endurance】The battery capacity is 4000mAh, it can be used continuously for 35~57 hours(Experimental test results of keyboard backlight fully turned on), easily meet the work demand of a week.Turn off the keyboard light and it can be used for up to 220 hours (experimental test results).

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).

I know you can buy sample switch pads from switch vendors, but
I wanted a low profile keyboard and after a ton of research I settled on NuPhy. I own a full size Q3 from Keychron, and it is an awesome keyboard, but I use it on my gaming PC and can deal with the higher lift of the non low-profile. But for this keyboard I was replacing a apple magic keyboard and really like the low profile for daily use. I just liked the reviews and liked from the research I did on NuPhy vs. the Keychron low profile. (full disclosure I never used a Keychron low profile).
In the end the switches that worked best for me were the moss. I started with brown and to clicky, then I went to red as I didn't want too loud but the feel was just too soft.
The moss switches were are a truly exceptional experience...for me. Nicely done NuPhy!
The keyboard feels good, but I am not impressed by Nuphy's product packaging at all.

Le Nuphy "sent" beaucoup plus qualitatif, tant le boitier que le rendu sur les touches qui est beaucoup plus agréable. Idem pour le bruit, alors que j'ai pris des brown switch pour les deux. Bref je préfère largement le Nuphy. Le seul hic est qu'il n'existe qu'en option Qwerty, et contrairement à Keychron qui met les touches de remplacement Azerty pour pouvoir choisir, chez Nuphy y'a air (oui le jeu de mots est voulu). Du coup on peut remplacer les lettres entre elles mais pas les touches de ponctuation et les alphanumériques. Soit vous devez connaitre leur disposition de tête, soit acheter des stickers sur Amazon pour ajouter les indications sur les touches. C'est dommage j'enlève une étoile pour ça, ça couterait pas grand chose à Nuphy de rajouter ces touches dans la boite.
The NuPhy 75 Air itself is a dream to type on. It's seriously the best keyboard I've ever laid my hands on.
However after typing for a full day and getting used to the new feel of this keyboard, my MacBook Pro (2019 with Sonoma 14.4.1) popped up error messages "USB Accessories Disabled Unplug the accessory using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
Which is rediculous, because the keyboard was plugged in my monitor's usb hub, providing enough power to to propell an ICE train.
Apparently this is a Mac/MacOS problem and has got nothing to do with the keyboard itself. It's become a thing since one of the latest MacOS Sonoma problems. And of course, Apple doesn't care.
So, and this is the really sad part, which almost makes me wheep, I have to send this keyboard back to the shop, which was really quick delivering the product. NuPhy definitely did everything right.
If you type a lot, either as a coder or as an author or whatever it is, you need to hack into your computer, this keyboard is a pleasure to type. This is the first time I really hate Apple for f...... up what would otherwise have been a great experience.
Having 4 simultaneous devices connected, and the stability of the 2.4ghz dongle are excellent additions to a great keyboard.
Highly recommended!
