Our Verdict

NuPhy Air75

NuPhy Air75 V2 [Air60 V2, Air96 V2]

The NuPhy Air75 and the NuPhy Air75 V2 are compact (75%) wireless keyboards with low-profile designs. The Air75 V2 is newer and includes several upgrades, including a higher maximum polling rate of 1000Hz that provides better overall gaming performance and higher quality double-shot PBT keycaps. They also have a slightly modified keycap profile, providing better key spacing. Both of these keyboards are also available in compact 60% and 96% sizes.
