Our Verdict
Logitech MX Keys Mini
NuPhy Air75
The Logitech MX Keys Mini and the NuPhy Air75 are both compact keyboards with outstanding wireless connectivity options; however, they have some key differences. The NuPhy uses low-profile mechanical switches, and it's hot-swappable, meaning you can change those switches out at any point without having to solder. Also, every key is macro-programmable, and it has full RGB backlighting and much better latency. On the other hand, the Logitech uses scissor switches, and its white-only backlighting shines through the key legends, meaning you can see them in the dark.
