I would like to see a review of the Field 75 with Polaris switches, I just upgraded from a Halo65 to the Field75 and its being an amazing experience until now. Unfortanely we have only a few reviews of this model.
i'd rather it have a good tilt in the first place. it's usually a "setup once. never touch it again" situation, unless you regularly flip them back in for travel
Nice! I mean wow! Flip out feet's - game changer for me, 'cause magnetic feet's really turns me off. Still want 75 version, because numpad is overrated but I need F keys for comfortable gaming. Video production quality is fantastic as always. Thank you
I definitely want Nuphy to do a 100% board. I use the numpad a lot and I’m hesitant to order the 96%. I feel like I’ll make a ton of mistakes. Smaller 0 button and just a cramped numpad in general. I can’t find anything even remotely comparable to this board in terms of features, especially for the price though.
That is some interesting timing: my wife finally caved under my constant nagging to replace her ho-hum Logitech K270 (or so) wireless membrane monstrosity with an Air96. It arrived two days ago and she absolutely loves it! I selected a model with the new Daisy switches and they are sublime: fast and silent; the sound overall is a neat silent-ish thocky delight. My Air75 is almost jealous. By the way - considering your luck with NuPhy, could you perhaps do a follow up and mention that the keyboard would be even better with some colored low-profile space bar options, similar to the Ghost Bar? Thanks! 😎
The biggest issue I have with this keyboard is the wireless range. It sucks as$. USB receiver or Bluetooth range is about 1.5 meter, anything more and it won't work. Really sucks as I got this primarily as a wireless keyboard to us on my PC connected to my TV. My tv is less than 3m away and my wireless mouse works fine. I had to buy a USB female to male extension cable on run it on the sofa. Very disappointed
Recently bought an Air 96 and it's great. However, I really wish nuphy would offer German / iso-de keycaps. Does anyone know where I could get 3rd party keycaps that'll fit the air 96?
Glad they addressed the feet of the air 60. They are terrible. And they got loose so often and did not stick. Storing the magnetic feet also big pain point for me. Just two weeks ago it then also got fried while I was using it, one of the capacitors heated up too much apparently. Good news is they be sending me a new one minus the keys and switches.
Please move the new features down to the 60. I love the smaller form factor as I am proficient with layers and my muscle memory is set up for it. .... waiting.... groaning.... pouting.... moving on.... distracting myself....
Not sure yet, there was a time where NuPhy couldn’t ship to Switzerland but it seems that this has been resolved now. So maybe in the hopefully not to distant future 😅
I believe so, at least if you have the version with the Gateron Low-Profile switches. I don't know if the socket is the same for the Keychron Optical switches.
I have the air75 and 96 v1. I use the 75 as my couch keyboard now and the 96 is my main. I can see the benefits in upgrading the 75 (which I don’t need to), but I don’t think the 96 is enough of an upgrade for me
been using mine (white colour) for a while love it. Sadly not much customisation options though because specific low profile keycaps. Also Nuphy Console isn't available for Linux.
I don’t have a great reference for other low profile boards, but I’d say it sounds much much better than any corsair / razer / logitech prebuilt I’ve heard. Seems much less resonant / sharp to me, but I’m sure some of that is personal preference. I wouldn’t expect a low profile board to sound anything like a full length travel custom, especially at an equivalent price point.
