[@nathanreedy4380]

It's so cool to see a reviewer that I think is good recommend this keyboard. Around the time that the Air75V2 was on preorder, I was looking into mechanical keyboards (it would be my first) & so I ordered it on preorder & I am very happy with mine.

[@CreatedTech]

Definitely made the right decision to wait for the preorder!

[@chrisls]

The accent colours for the keycaps aren't my thing. I would totally pick one up if I could get it with all black PBT shine through caps.

[@mgaming7]

So glad to see your review. I really hoped you would give this keyboard a try. Not bad, right? It's even better that you got to try V1 and V2. Love it that Nuphy reached out. I prefer the Nuphy over the Keychron. I still need to try the MX keys.

[@CreatedTech]

The 1000Hz polling rate with the USB dongle is a game changer - I've been looking for this feature for almost 2 years!

[@Harvester88]

I pretty much am trying to give my MX Mechanical away after getting the Air 75 v2.

[@smartinussen]

Nuphy just needs to start making ISO versions of their keyboards

[@Saltytoxico]

Red Sea issue means you old worlders won’t get this product anyway 😅

[@jackson159]

ISO is useless

[@sglatitude]

Air 75v2 is great mechanical keyboard with great polling rate, dedicated keyboard stand to elevate your typing experience, and the slick black color, it’s my favourite keyboard. I got it during their launch period and good price. Air 75v2 good for my home use while I use Nuphy Halo 75 for office use. Yes, I purposely use Halo 75 for office use to make as much noise AF to annoy colleagues and the only one with sexay, dope keyboard 😂

[@ScottKelley]

I've got the Air96 and I love it. I have all the lights turned off to save battery life as I don't really care for flashy lights on my setup. I like working in a well-lit room anyway, too.

[@yanglyu2858]

To be honest, as a Mac user, I've tried so hard to find a mechanical keyboard that truly has a Mac layout, where the CMD key is just below the X key. None has done that, including Nuphy, logitech, keychron, and else. They all claim to be "Mac keyboard" but the location of the CMD/Alt key is just outrageous for a mac user. Whenever I type CMD+C/V on these keyboard I feel my fingers are tortured. Please enlighten me where to find a real Mac mechanical keyboard.

[@danielraine3255]

Notice how exactly *none* of the B roll typing footage shows hitting the command key

[@VarunBhargavan]

The 2.4 GHz connectivity is important not just for gaming, as this allows for wireless connectivity when using UEFI firmware settings or OS usage before Bluetooth drivers are loaded. This is only partly applicable to a Mac, but I mostly work with custom-built machines and servers, so this is a big deal for me.

[@demazy]

Interesting! I’ve got their first F1. It got me into mechanical keyboards and it also ended my quest on finding the best low profile keyboard. My shortest journey ever.

[@al3xj]

It's great right, can vouch for it - lovely feel, strong, quality build - the V2 also is lower than a typical mecahnical compact but didn't take much time to get used to it.Very satisfying. Appreciate the video

[@PhillipRPeck]

You can turn off the sleep mode so you won't have that delay if you've been away from the keyboard for awhile

[@MatanKarni]

Nuphy makes great products. I own the Halo 65 now for more than 2 years and I can't give it enough credit.

[@suluturnip]

The best keys for this nuphy are Gateron Bananas. They’re essentially browns but require a bit more pressure. Gateron blues are also the best if you’re looking clickies.

[@MarbsMusic]

I have really gotten away from low profile as my main is a QK75n but just ordered on of these to give it a try with the wisteria switches! Great and convincing review!

[@SoftwareManiacLSM]

I bought this from Amazon. V2 is incredible. The original had too much latency at startup and operation.

[@justinseans]

I just got one. The 2.4ghz and the hot swap was the selling point. At this price point i dont want to cripple my experiance for gaming with low polling. And plus i would like to experiment with other switches....i grabbed aloes and a side of brown. The extras to try is a nice touch too

[@obsidianquill7949]

I’d say the Air75 v2 is a very solid option for a low profile keyboard but not as good as the lofree flow

[@albyx]

0:48 I cannot believe they actually sent you the right colored cable! I'm a little cheesed, not going to lie. I got my Air72 V2 in black and they sent me a white/teal cable that IS NOT braided. So instead I'm using the cable from my V1. I thought that was a straight up miss from Nuphy but it's clear that when the product is going out for review, they give a $h173. Do better Nuphy, do better. Not really happy with you guys right now. Keyboard is great but the differences in quality control leave me unimpressed.

[@azenyr]

I also got that shitty white cable too. I'm kinda mad gotta admit. I expected a much better cable for this price... I'm using the braided black cable I already have from another keyboard and never taking that white ugly one out of the box

[@Harvester88]

I have this one with the Wisteria Switches and I absolutely adore it. I am considering getting the Moss switches as well at some point just to try them out.

[@nathanreedy4380]

I got the Gateron Brown with mine (this was my 1st ever mechanical keyboard) but I am considering wanting to try the Cowberry Switches. From Sound tests I have seen here on YT of those I like them too.

[@chezchezchezchez]

OMG, I too have the Wisteria keys and i LOVE it! Looking forward to the QMK stuff, you have a good link to a tutorial?

[@JonDaiello]

Great review! Thanks so much for the review and explanation. I typically use a standard Apple Magic Keyboard but I have been thinking about upgrading to a mechanical keyboard recently. I definitely like being able to have multiple Bluetooth connections so I can use it with the various Apple products in my house (I have an old Logitech that used to do that). These are great options that I'm gonna look into more.

[@Slyzxx76]

Can you switch between pc and Mac?

[@azreow]

Just got mine and after a few little while of using it, I really do like it so far. I wish I would have found this video for the discount code lol.

[@Powerm1nt.]

My keyboard is the logitech mx meca mini for mac and i love it !

[@fi0nn]

My Nuphy Air75 v1 had battery swollen problem twice ! first time is just before a year, and around 8 months after first replaced. I use it mainly for my PC, USB always plugged. so I remove its battery for now. Keyboard itself is good, but battery / power charging control is bad.

[@flottenheimer]

On the small Apple Magic Keyboard (and on Apple laptop keyboards) there is a Fn-key bottom left. How does this work on the Air75 V2?.... (I would have loved for it to be a replica of standard Apple key placements).

[@littlefootfeet]

Came here to say this.

[@achimwasp]

No ISO layout available. Back to my Keychron K3 with red switches.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Are the switches hot swappable?

[@jamesonnguyen1124]

Yea, but its gotta be low profile ones :)

[@JoATTech]

I would be perfect if it also has 1 port usb hub for your mouse so you can switch your mouse together with the keyboard ... now I have not idea how to switch the mouse between my computers too ...

[@roboform100]

Logitech MX master (and any other decent bluetooth mouse) has a switch

[@briannaduda671]

Hi! Just a heads up your code doesn’t work on the Australian Nuphy site. Works fine on the American site tho :)

[@pattic6077]

Will I need to use the dongle for my Mac? I don’t have enough usb-c slots because I have a wireless mouse and monitor using them.

[@Oakcitymedia]

The MX keyboard vs this? Thoughts anyone for Mac? Also if I order the MX from Best Buy I get two years warranty

[@Excited-IT-Architect]

I am still looking for a great mechanical keyboard (like this one) with touch id - is there anything like that available aon the market?

[@joshuadunbar5587]

TouchID is proprietary isn’t allowed for anyone but Apple products. I recommend searching in KZbin the standalone touchid hacks bunch of ways to decouple it and have a standalone to pair with non Apple made keyboards

[@somebodyy161]

sadly no ISO Layout :(

[@chezchezchezchez]

why we need that?

[@Jack-di1wy]

You can just switch the keycaps and rebind them through the software

[@pablosnackbar6417]

great review, thanks mate.

[@f.pozzato3201]

This keyboard seems really great, but does anyone know if there is a trackpad as good as Apple's to control up to 3 computers? I'm looking for something similar to what Logitech did with their keyboard and mouse set but instead of a mouse, a touchpad.

[@isaacchew1550]

thank you for your review. Beside that may I know what type of mic and brand of mic that you are using to record the sound in your review?

[@Mittelmadsbjerg]

they need to do a Nodic version also

[@Sitrilein]

In Europe for 187,99€ only on Amazon! Crazy! Not for that Money!

[@tsankotsankov760]

You can get it from their website directly. They ship to almost every european country.

[@Sitrilein]

@@tsankotsankov760 Thank You!

[@bryanhobson1822]

Looks really good, but why only an ANSI layout? That's an instant show stopper for me.

[@CreatedTech]

I suspect they may come out with time. The V2 was only just released a few weeks ago from memory.

[@bryanhobson1822]

@@CreatedTech I really hope so, though looking on their website, they only seem to list ANSI layout models.

[@rubes3927]

You sound exactly like Skill Up holy shit 😮

[@echo021]

Nice review!

[@TomasRamoska]

I believe bluetooth connection wake up is down to MacOS putting devices into sleep mode.

[@pattic6077]

Do I need a dongle to connect it to my MacBook?

[@etiennecharlier1676]

Is there azert french layout for mac available somewhere ?

[@iamsercanak]

wheres the wallpaper from? love it!

[@nilswiese2773]

Is there a quertz (ISO) layout available?

[@khezuhl]

afaik no and that‘s also why i have to pass

[@dazzla84_ssfc]

Is this keyboard available with a UK-ISO layout?

[@Destroyer8795]

Are is the key mapping in VIA safed to the keyboard itself or is it safed locally on your PC? So if I made a config on one PC can I connect the keyboard to a different PC and the configuration is transferred or do I need to make the same configuration on the second pc as well?

[@nejcmeglic6573]

It saves it on the keyboard itself.

[@eartohear5254]

Their Helo keyboard is way more enjoyable than their Air v2. I have both and in my opinion Air V2 was a let down

[@kitovito9202]

Could you tell me what is that wallpaper on 7:04

[@bri_subaweh]

whats the monitor you are using?

[@WEFslayer]

No shine true default keys for that price is a big fail for me. No thanks!

[@smallduck1001001]

No way to feel where the arrow keys are, they entirely abut against the exactly sized modifiers, shift, return, and paging keys. That means its a complete fail, as is any of these keyboards a similar ultra-compact layout. There might as well be no arrow keys, they are so unusable.

[@jiten2539]

If you look at the up arrow, there’s a bump similar to f and j keys

[@jigjig1988]

How would you guys compare Nuphy to Keychron?

[@user-gk7ig8tl5c]

Is that monitor eve spectrum ??😮

[@Thedimka]

no usb-c dongle?

[@littlefootfeet]

Why does nobody notice that the lower left keys are different on Mac keyboards? Due to the addition of the fn key, the control, alt and cmd keys scoot in a bit. You can tell by the way the right edge of the command key is thus flush with the x key. Barely any “for mac” offerings ever get this right and it messes with all the most common shortcuts and makes switching between the external keyboard and MacBook keyboards a giant pain.

[@Orca774]

Try lofree flow

[@Barbu_Deluxe]

No iso layout 😢

[@chezchezchezchez]

why we need that?

[@modoulaminceesay9211]

using a mac with this keyboard dont know how to input the tilde. anyone know would be helpful

[@ashwinr1407]

Try fn + shift + tilde, this might work.

[@saulgood2366]

Damn just brought a keychron

[@n3onic]

is there also qwertz layout available?

[@ShawnLevasseur]

As the keycaps are uniform size, you can rearrange them to any layout. I do this myself as I use the Dvorak layout.

[@ArgoFowl]

good vid dood

[@esparda07]

"Wafer" stickers lol

[@tomaszkorytkowski1399]

1:47 no shit...

it's not specifically a "Mac Keyboard"

[@jfox8888]

Hmm I would recommend you trying the lofree flow , though it doesn’t have any gmk or qmk remapping software However, gotten the black version, tactile and I’m in love Would be getting the linear white post Xmas to further enhance my typing productivity, Once you start you just keep going Just my personal view

[@DanielNistrean]

Isin't this a sponsored video actually? Judging by your affiliate links?

[@CreatedTech]

How can it be sponsored if I literally bought the product with my own money? Every review video has affiliate links.

[@sleepyatdawn7648]

Shame it's missing a numbers section.

[@PhenomRom]

Lol

[@mgaming7]

you do know there are different keyboards right? some have numbers AKA the Nuphy 96, or some that don't AKA the Nuphy Air75 meaning it is a 75% layout and doesn't have those keys. Going by your comment, you do not understand they make more than one kind of keyboard and alternate layouts. ....

[@chezchezchezchez]

Sad a bicycle doesn't have a car engine too? Sad you buddy doesn't have a vagina? You have to KNOW what your shopping for, my friend.

[@VictorMartins239]

so... what makes this a "mac keyboard"?

[@CreatedTech]

It's specifically designed for macOS. Comes with macOS specific key caps attached out of the box and has a macOS key layout selector on the back. Also battery levels show up in macOS where many other keyboards don't. A side benefit is that it's also obviously 100% compatible with Windows.

[@azenyr]

​@@CreatedTechshowing the battery life in the OS is not a macOS feature, it's an universal bluetooth feature. All modern OSs support it, windows, mac, linux, Android, etc. And basically all modern bluetooth devices report their battery life to the device they are connected to. For the price of this keyboard I honestly would be really mad if they didn't support this now basic bluetooth feature. Also it comes with keycaps to swap it to a windows/linux layout so this keyboard can work perfecty on any OS. I use it on a Windows+Linux desktop and it works wonders. On linux it shines because you can really configure absolutely anything you want to do on the OS to those F5-F6 etc keys that on Windows don't really do anything. I'm just surprised yours came with a braided cable, it seems that most people here in the comments, like me, get a generic white non-braided basic cable with the keyboard which is really a disappointing touch for this price

[@CreatedTech]

@@azenyr I never said the bluetooth battery was a "macOS feature". I simply said it works where a lot of other keyboards do not. Regarding the braided cable, I'm not sure what's going on there. Possibly supply issues but for the price it should be included in every box.

[@thorium9190]

While the Mac does have a great keyboard, I have mine docked in clamshell mode on a laptop stand on my desk, connected to my monitor. I would require an external keyboard in that case. I’d like one that works across my windows pc and Mac

[@yunikuroo]

can u at least tell us its an ad at the beginning?

[@CreatedTech]

It's not an ad... I bought the original V1 version with my own money. Nuphy saw that and wanted to send me the updated V2 version so I could review that instead. I literally said this at the start of the video... Nuphy paid me no money, they did not give me talking points at all. It's 100% my own opinion. There is a sponsored segment in this video but it's for an entirely different product (the Loupedeck). That's how I fund this channel.
