Our Verdict
NuPhy Air75 V2 [Air60 V2, Air96 V2]
NuPhy Air60 HE
The NuPhy Air60 V2 and the NuPhy Air60 HE are both low-profile keyboards. The Air60 V2 is a wireless model that's generally more versatile for a range of uses including productivity and gaming. On the other hand, the Air60 HE is a wired-only model that's much more focused on gaming. It has specialized analog switches that allow you to customize actuation and reset distance, and it has significantly better raw performance with a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz.
