NuPhy Air75 Wireless Review: If Your Mechanical Keyboard Went On a Diet! 

you’re welcome, mate

You, sir, are absolutely right…. 😂 🤦🏼‍♂️

I own this keyboard before its beta software released, and I can conrol the side bar LED with the shortcuts mentioned in the manual, I think your copy just has some kind of issue. It would be great if you can advise people on this rather than leading them to believe it can only be controlled by software. But nonetheless, a great video

I did say that I was supposed to be able to do that on the board directly, though… but still, nothing that major. Thanks anyways, mate!

@@TechHyped i turned the backlights off by cycling through the lighting behavior a bit, with the shortcut FN+Left-Arrow. one of behaviors turns them off. FN+Right-Arrow only seems to change the colors. i haven't installed the software

Its not about the overall backlighting. I’m talking about the light bars to either side. The fn+left/right doesn’t do anything to it.

Hi TurtleMilk! I recommend brown switch 100%! Its has great tactile feedback, the sound level is perfectly suitable for coffee shops or office's. Many people get the brown switch because its not as loud as blue switches, plus you get the perfect amount of Thockiness in brown switch. For hardcore typers I would recommend the blue switch because you get a satisfying audible click, with a light tactile snap

Like Spotless said: brown. #BrownSwitchTeam all the way, bro. Tactile response, not loud and obnoxious and more satisfying to type on than reds (for me, obviously).

and what do you think about the keyboard now 10 month later ?

@@brunodebove Love it! More so now because they offer shine-through keycaps. I got the brown switches and they sound and feel great. Low-profile keycaps are the way to go. I tried the Logitech low-profile mechanical keyboard they recently released and it does not feel as nice as the Nuphy.

@@habs798693 Oh wow, thank you so much for your answer, im happy that you enjoy it, I will probably get mine in the next days :) really looking for it now. Have a nice day !

For people like you you must order and use it there is nowhere to try it lol

@@frostgodx And that takes time and money and angry expletives. Usually.

You can fit any Cherry stem style keycaps (basically like 99% of keycaps on the market) on this keyboard, they fit well, the only thing is that the keycap bottom out on the keyboard plate rather than on the switch housing, so the sound you hear with stock keycaps vs other "normal" profile keycaps will differ

That’s true, but good luck finding thin keycaps like these that are also shine through, lol… Not that they *need* to be this thin, though

it's seems that PBT low profile caps with shine through, doesn't get made. but i would have loved it too

Yup, shine thru key caps would have made this the perfect keyboard. Having RGB but can't see the character in the dark is kinda pointless to me. If I am getting RGB, it has to be shine thru key caps.

@@tomywu oh ok yeah but that is one more thing i shouldnt have to be thinking about i suppose but appreciate the reccomendation

Not sure. Never tested

Thanks bro! It charges up in a couple of hours, and I’ve been using it like ALL WEEK before needing to charge.

It makes zero sense to me as well, lol. The macbook keyboard is pretty dang great, but this thing is awesome.

Personally I hate laptop keyboards with a passion, all of them. Our office has a super old Toshiba with “real” keys but I can’t type on flimsy keys, same with Apple’s Magic Keyboard (I do love the A1048 though).

It makes sense to me to use it on top of my MacBook pro with touch bar, I'm a programmer and use the vim editor where the ESC key is used all the time, and the MacBook Pro hasn't that as a key, is on the touch bar D: and the butterfly keyboard is uncomfortable for me, I work outside all the time in small couches with no tables and no space for a separate keyboard. My laptop was given to me for my job so no way to choose the one with the magic keyboard.

Well, in THAT case it does make sense, but its kinda fringe, don’t you think? I mean, yeah, several programmers around, obviously, but they’re focusing too much on that specific “feature”, as if that was THE HUGEST BENEFIT of grabbing one of those, when in fact they’re actually flipping awesome.

@@TechHyped Been using the Air75 for a little over six months. Love it, best 75 KB ever 👍

Thanks bro! I didn't remember, so I unscrewed a couple again to look at and they're self-tapping, not self-drilling. Neither of which inspire supreme confidence in me that I'd be able to take this apart and put it back together an infinite number of times, BUT there's also nothing much to do inside of this thing, really

@@TechHyped thanks for the effort! i was sloppy with my word usage. i meant self-tapping. it's still a nice keyboard, but it's good that i know now

Oh, its some generic local brazilian “Ikea” equivalent. I honestly can’t remember lol

Sure. I’d advise to use the 2.4ghz dongle for some heavy hardcore MLG gaming seshs, but bluetooth has been doing the job for lighter gaming for me just fine

@@TechHyped holy.. I will instantly order this beast. I hope it will get though tax because I'm living in Germany

Yes it is haha. The Path ;)

@Gus Gonzalez ugh, I love miracle of sound witcher songs. They're so good 😩

Yep! You’d probably recognize the song I use for the outros as well haha

🤦🏼‍♂️

Hahaha. Doubt it.

Yep. The idea for the folding “case” is to serve as a tray to prop up an iPad, for example.

Oh you bastard… lol! I was actually taught “wrong” because there was one pc in my household and the only spot it could stay meant there wasn’t enough space for the mouse on the right…. It was a terrible setup hahaahha!

@@TechHyped LOL no hate nice video

Thanks bud! As I mentioned in my pinned comment, there was supposed to be a specific function on the board that would let you at least turn the bars off, but mine just doesn't work... I kinda got used to the bars being on all the time, and I'll be DAMNED if I'll download that software lol. ps: in retrospect, perhaps I should have done it at least to evaluate the software for the review.... Maybe I'll do it and add to my pinned comment hehe.

🤦🏼‍♂️

@@TechHyped I haven't confirmed it, still waiting for mine to come in, wishing I knew about the shine-through keycaps, would have bought it together if I known... but not willing to pay shipping twice out of principal

You will have to use its software to change them to do F1 to F12

i suspect that the software writes to the keyboard, because they tell you to do a factory reset if anything goes wrong. so i'm #guessing# it works on Linux

Yes, it saves setting to keyboard, I made changes on Windows and the changes still work when I connect the keyboard to Mac, wired or wireless. Also the changes you save apply to either the "WIN" and "MAC" only (the Win/Mac switch at the rear). I change the Screenshot & Cortana keys on Windows and when I plug the keyboard to Mac and flip the switch to MAC, the screenshot & Cortana/Siri keys work as usual. But if I flip the switch to WIN, then those keys become what I defined

The red stock ones. Never actually tinkered with the board after the review… its just so good as it is that I kinda didn’t wanna mess with it.

@@TechHyped Please revisit this keyboard in an updated review using their new shine through caps available to order on their site. If you can please, thanks.

I’ll do my best!
