NuPhy Air75 V2 Review - The Best Gets Better

[@semiprotech]

The Air75 V2 is available for order from NuPhy: semiprotech.link/air75v2 Check out my comparison of the V2 to the Lofree Flow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3q5gZuCl7GKe9U

[@HB-jm3ck]

Does it work with Mac Mini M2 Pro?

[@SafMan89]

How is the 2.4ghz reliability? Any issues with missed key presses or connectivity/wake from sleep issues?

[@SunsetNova]

Love how Nuphy are not being complacent and are striving for improvement

[@helen99168]

This is such a high quality review video! So much detail. really appreciate this!

[@semiprotech]

Thank you so much!

[@nickschneider101]

Man your audio set up is great! You have such a nice voice thats super easy to listen to, and not in a boring way. Glad I found your channel

[@semiprotech]

Thank you so much! I've worked hard on my audio so I really appreciate it!

[@AlinHucea]

I was checking every day for this video to be posted after you said the test starts. Your videos are very helpful... and now I can't wait until my Air75 V2 ships 😁.

[@semiprotech]

I hope you love it! Definitely feels like an upgrade to me.

[@balletshark0101]

Great video, I've been looking into the Air75 for a while and I think this just convinced me

[@BSBCam]

Thanks for the great review. Once I saw the changes NuPhy stated I impulse bought the keyboard. After this review I feel a lot better with my decision and can’t wait to get it at the end of this month/beginning of October!

[@noucamper]

Me too but I regret missing out on the 10% discount code he shared above :(

[@BSBCam]

@@noucamper When I was checking out the prices of the keyboard I remember this channel and one other channel I’ve seen had 10% off coupon codes so fortunate enough it was still active. That plus the free shine through key caps made me realize it was a great deal. Only thing I wish they did was make the sound more muted but that is subjective

[@duckdodgers2647]

😂 I did the same thing! I don't even need it. Plus I had just bought the Halo96 for work.

[@GeorgeT96]

Thanks for the review, got the keyboard!

[@arnarn4112]

Nice review 👍 I like the attention to details. And even a short soundtest between different switches is useful. You need more subs.

[@semiprotech]

Thank you so much!

TY SO MUCH FOR SWITCH SOUND TEST @ 6:12!!!!

[@BudaSuyasa]

Fantastic reviews!

[@hmmahdi9654]

Thank you so much for the perfect video and also the discount code.

[@amaelftah]

thanks a lot for the insightful review .i have a quick question did you faced typo mistakes? cause in v1 I had a lot of typo mistakes and that's why I returned it

[@dman1848]

I have the Air 60 V2 and it's without a doubt one of the best keyboards I have ever used. Love the quality, the look and the sound of this thing. Beats any of the upper end Logi boards I have purchased in the past.

[@nathanreedy4380]

Thank you, I enjoyed this & although I went with the Gateron Brown Switches, those Cowberry switches have me intrigued. I might (once the Cowberry switches are in stock) have to order a set & try those. The timing of me looking at keyboards & specifically the Nuphy Air 75 was good because I heard of Nuphy & started looking at the Air 75 but didn't purchase the V1 & then they announced the V2 which seems like all of the upgrades are more than worthwhile.

[@semiprotech]

I am excited to try a full set of the Cowberry switches! Based on the individual sample, I have a feeling they might end up being my favorite.

[@JohnPaulCauchi]

Hey man, thanks for the video. A question from a tech noob -- does this keyboard have multi-device function like i've seen in other keyboards? Can it simultaneously be connected to multiple devices? Thanks!

[@iantrav]

Great Review! I have been waiting for your review on Air 75 V2 but I picked up Lofree Flow because of the unique sound and the more professional look. Had no regret so far but I'd love to have the 2.4Ghz dongle and bigger battery of Air 75 V2. Can't wait for your sound test when you get your hands on cowberry switches! It sounds really to my liking and a sound comparison between that and Lofree Flow would be nice!

[@semiprotech]

Thanks! Definitely enjoy typing on the Flow. I will be sure to include sound samples of it when I get the cowberry switches!

[@NinjaSushi2]

​@@semiprotechdo you prefer the flow better than the air?

[@techwizardmike]

I wanted to purchase my first mechanical keyboard but didn't have a clue. Thank you for this content and helping me make an informed decision.

[@semiprotech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MarbsMusic]

Haven't had a low profile in a while so I decided to pick this up with wisteria tactile, folio and extra shine through... thanks for the 10% off!

[@jacekostrowski7044]

Good review. With regards to the question "is it worth upgrading from v1 to v2" - for me, absolutely, mainly because of QMK/VIA. I had the v1 and the software side of it was a big downside. I sold it recently and for the last few months I'm using Keychron K3 Pro. I didn't expect QMK/VIA-enabled NuPhy so soon and it was a big surprise. So now I'm waiting for my v2.

[@ahmadnaufaldai]

I have the V1 and it is one of my best daily driver. So picking up the v2 is a no-brainer. I am going with Wisteria!

[@DigitalSamTV]

this is such a great clear video... was jujst about to buy one of the prev model when this v2 vid popped up damn you! ha. i dont care about this macros customization stuff tho, so the only thing i see as better is bigger battery and smoother better feeling keys ... so do i get the prev version (which is availabloe for $122 in thailand) and the V2 isnt avaiolable at all (who knows if it comes available on monday or inb 3 months time...) i want one now really. so im in a dillema whether to buy older version or wait for new version (if less than a week, i would wait otherwise not). the logitech mechanical mini is also a considerration

[@daniel22_22]

Greetings from Romania. Never had a NuPhy keyboard but just ordered a Cowberry Air75 V2.

[@FlyingCow53]

Great review! Was planning to buy the Keychron K3 Pro but now I see this. How would the Nuphy compare to the Keychron?

[@semiprotech]

The Air75 V2 is going to have better battery life (220hrs vs 130hrs), the additional 2.4GHz connection, and slightly better bluetooth polling rate (125Hz vs 90Hz). The typing feel and sound will also be different, the Air75 has a deeper sound because of the slightly more enclosed design vs the open floating key design of the K3 Pro. They both can sit on top of a laptop keyboard which is nice, and with the update to QMK/VIA in the V2 they both now have that for customization. I have the K3 Pro and have enjoyed it, but the Air75 V2 has a bit more of a premium feel and the other benefits that I mentioned, so it would be my personal choice.

[@marinaalex0510]

Hello. Great review, thank you. Still a question - If I don't have the AIR75 and this is not an upgrade for me but the first purchase - is it better to go for V1 or V2? Also - what is the difference in the feeling between linear and tactile switches - for typing (not gaming)? THANKS

[@pattic6077]

Yay! Thank you so much

[@JeffWaynee]

The v2 sounds noticeably better to me

[@andrejk6]

I have the air 75 v1, was considering upgrading to v2, but then Keychron released the Alice version of this, the k15 pro. I’d prefer a real split low profile 75% keyboard, so if Nuphy ever decides to release a split version of the air 75 v2, I might upgrade to that. But for the time being, I’m switching from air 75 to k15 pro.

[@cartography3804]

Nice review! Very thorough! They marketed the Moss as early bump like the baby kangaroo. Is it noticeable compared to the wisteria?

[@semiprotech]

Holding them next to each other and pressing very slowly, the timing/placement of the bump feels like it is the same, but Moss has almost an illusion of being slightly earlier because it is much more pronounced and snappy than Wisteria. Wisteria barely feels tactile compared to Moss - very light bump and almost a "slow" feel to it, where Moss feels like a quick and noticeable bump. In that regard I would say it's closer to BBK than either brown or Wisteria.

[@bernRA]

just got mine. plus the see thru keys. still not sure what the cat icons are for, but this is surely the best keyboard that ive used. thanks so much for your rec. would have never even tried them. (do they make a full sized that the same as this, but.. full sized??).

[@semiprotech]

I'm glad you're liking it! They do have the Air96 which has the number pad but it's still pretty compact with no space between the number pad and the arrow keys. It's also not QMK/VIA compatible unfortunately because they released it before switching over to QMK firmware. Otherwise it's very similar to the new Air75 V2, just lacking QMK/VIA and the faster wireless polling rates. I'm hoping they release an updated version of it at some point as well.

[@klaymoon1]

Great video. Does anyone else think the new Cowberry sounds the best?

[@secfeed6987]

Just ordered one, went for the space engineers key cap set, Dark and bright to do a mix up with Gateron Brown

[@drumdover]

I have the v2 but the 2.4 GHz misses keystrokes quite a bit and that's even after the supposed "fix" of updating firmware to 1.1.1. Seems like others are having this issue as well. Bluetooth and wired both work great though. Love the board, but I mainly bought the v2 for the "reliable", fast polling 2.4 GHz connection but sadly cannot use that mode without losing a lot of producivity fixing typos. Did you have this issue with yours?

[@tolaut]

I'm kinda heartbroken over this release. Nuphy asked beforehand on social media about what features people want out of the V2 and, without exaggerating, about 75% of people wished for an ISO layout. That got my hopes up and now I'm disappointed.

[@tams805]

And they've straight up said that they don't have any plans for other layouts. They did on their first keyboards and their competition do as well.

[@bibblebabl]

ANSI WTF

[@cruzinthruspace]

Wow that's lame

[@Brickbuilder128]

They addressed it and said they don't have plans I'm pretty sure... It wasn't like they ignored everyone.

[@ExistentialPerplexity]

Thank you so much for including a section for upgrading from the V1 to V2, I was thinking of preordering it, but now I might as well get the black keycaps that are shine through to save some money :) The built in feet are really tempting, but I should save lol

[@semiprotech]

Glad it was helpful! I was glad to see the new shine-through keycaps and switches because that might be worth changing for some Air75 V1 owners if the full upgrade is not really worth it.

[@sglatitude]

Shine through keycaps are available for FREE during preorder period only. I am still waiting for mine to be delivered 🤭 I have used the new Air 75v2 with cowberry switch.. it’s great switch and love it.

[@pattic6077]

Does anyone know if I will need another receiver for this? Right now I’m using a dongle for a monitor and mouse. I’m out of ports!

[@ExistentialPerplexity]

@@pattic6077 If you have Bluetooth on your PC or Mac, you can connect via Bluetooth without needing to use a port for the receiver. Hope that helps!

[@quillaja]

Do you know if the shine through keycaps are also PBT doubleshot? Basically I'm just asking if they're the same quality as non-shine through, and won't get "grease" marks, etc.

[@ArtofReeve]

This is a bit weird, if I remember correctly, the V1 claims to be double shot pbt keycaps as well. So turns out it isn’t. I’d like to know if the letter alignment issue on the V1 still occurs on this one or not?

[@NickLetsom]

I love everything about these keyboards except the layout. I wish they did a low profile TKL!

[@LarryFasnacht]

I have the Nuphy Air60 and the right shift key DRIVES ME CRAZY! I hate to buy another expensive keyboard just for that but I’m wondering how much aggravation is worth. What do you think?

[@Crusader1089]

I won't lie, this video made me buy this keyboard. It was the last day of pre-orders with the free extra keys and reduced price case. Now I spend my day refreshing the shipping page going "aww, still in China."

[@KO_YTB]

i have air 75 v1 that i ordered very early on, i missed the sales for this one but anyways i wanted a 96 layout one since i use numpad alot, do you know any low profile or even regular keyboards like Nuphy that are pre-assembled and pre-lubed ? i know iQunix F97 but i don't know if there are other options, i want a THOCKY sound and feel from pre-assembled and none of the switches on this or iqunix sounded THOCKY! Would really appreciate if you had any other suggestions!

[@knab2831]

of the nuphy switches, any closer to feeling like a blue? to me the cowberry sounded like it

[@felicytatomaszewska2934]

I like the sound of v2 ...for me it is more than subtle because it crosses the threshold for me

[@Heart101]

What are your favourite switch options? I'm having a hard time deciding. And would you recommend the Nuphy over the Lofree? Thanks.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

I'm hoping a Air96 V2 follows soon, I'd like to have one for work but I use a numpad a hell of a lot for my job.

[@johndemeyer4613]

hey thanks foor the nice review, i have a question. I just saw a review saying that the via/qmk profile is not saved on the keyboard. That it no longer works if you switch to Bluetooth. Were you able to test this?

[@semiprotech]

Hi! Great question, I just did a little remapping using VIA on my Macbook in wired mode, then switched to bluetooth, and the keys retained the mapping that I applied. I did not try any macros but the remapping seemed to be retained no problem. I wonder if maybe someone did their remapping on the wrong layer? It does have several layers and Mac mode is layer 0, Win mode is layer 2, with the function layers being 1 and 3.

[@johndemeyer4613]

[@matexma4373]

can you do a video about all configurations options using VIA this keyboard do and don’t support

[@dazzla84_ssfc]

One question I have with this board, does it come with a UK key layout? Its just that I dont see a £ key

[@DucDigital]

Are there any alternative normal profile 75% keyboards that has both QMK compatibility and 2.4ghz with 1000 hz polling? I have been looking around but it is quite difficult to find such keyboard. I am on Linux and to use any proprietary software is automatically a fail criteria for me.

[@dyvel]

My wrists need the negative Tilt like the Microsoft has. Do you know any mechanical keyboards with negative tilt option?

[@jedisurfer9591]

VIA compatibility of the HALO series would be nice.

[@lrmcatspaw1]

Shine throu key caps are ABS right? Probably important to mention.

[@drieq]

I think I want to order this keyboard, however you did get me thinking because I'm in Europe - is the layout usually a big problem? What are some key differences? Also in the cart it said "Not Included" - are there no keycaps included, do you have to order them separately? I e-mailed Nuphy but unfortunately no response :(

[@CanaryKnightYT]

For me qmk, new white color (i love it) and new feets are great changes. One more thing i wish to see in nyphy - place for wireless reciever :/

[@miniDrew4]

I've had this keyboard since launch and while I like the sound and build quality, I just haven't gotten used to typing on it. I make way too many typos, more than other keyboards. That said, I really like it for travel.

[@michaelteter]

I wish keyboard makers would make the spacebar more narrow. We don't need a spacebar that eats so much space and pushes the modifier keys farther away from our thumbs. Doing common things like cut/copy/paste (CMD key modifier) require cranking your thumb way back under your hand if you want to maintain "home key" typing position with your fingers. In contrast, the Macbook Air keyboard has a spacebar when aligns exactly with CVBNM range of keys. So the left and right CMD keys are now closer to the middle and therefore much more accessible to thumbs.

[@jonestse]

As a newbie developer, I should pick Lofree Flow or this one. It seems Lofree flow has a better typing experience but without QMK. Does QMK really matter to me? Which one do you recommend? Thanks~

[@BudaSuyasa]

I think QMK will matter if you need to use your keyboard on different operating system (without reconfig)

[@VEEZER1]

Only mech keyboard ive owned was the ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO. I hated it and was always leaning on the keys while playing COD I love my MX KEYS. what switches do you recommend with this keyboard for a person like me? THANX

[@quillaja]

Any idea if NuPhy is planning to do a V2 for the Air96 soon? I'd buy it in a heartbeat if the 96 had QMK/VIA and the other enhancements that the Air75 V2 got.

[@mikeyd9953]

Yh

[@tarrantksm]

How does it stack up against the K13 Pro? I'm currently using it for working on the go and I've already had to replace a switch due to it being torqued out when being thrown around in a bag. This looks like just what I need, QMK is a must for the macros I currently use.

[@semiprotech]

Of course it won't have the number pad, but the battery life should be better than the K13 Pro, typing sound will be deeper since K13 is a floating key design, and the switches are a bit more protected by the frame. I've had no problems using VIA so far so you should not have any issue adding macros. NuPhy also makes a nice folio cover for travel to help protect it. The wired polling rate is 1000Hz for both, and NuPhy has a slightly better bluetooth polling rate at 125Hz compared to 90Hz for the K13 Pro, plus of course NuPhy has the 2.4GHz extra connection. The Air75 is going to be roughly the same weight (1.31lbs vs. 1.28lbs for the K13 Pro) but a little more compact. It really depends on whether you rely a lot on the number pad but in terms of features/specs, the Air75 V2 has an edge over the K13 Pro.

[@tarrantksm]

@semiprotech I meant the K3 Pro! So sorry, but with your feedback this might be the next dent in my paycheck! I love how light the K3 is but it just... feels fragile when I take it around...

[@semiprotech]

@@tarrantksm Oh yes that makes sense lol. Pretty much the same comparison except for the dimensions/weight, you would be going from 1.16lbs to 1.31lbs. Probably not a huge difference unless your bag is already pretty maxed out. Features/spec wise, K3 Pro is the same as K13 so those differences still apply. I can see what you mean about the K3 Pro feeling fragile though - even though the top of the base is aluminum, it feels like it may not survive if you dropped it. The Air75 V2 is not a tank, but does feel a bit more sturdy to me.

[@tarrantksm]

@@semiprotech I nearly couldn't carry-on my backpack (technical theatre, so mission critical things) because it was... 9kg of gear and things, so... eh I'll survive! Thank you for your candour!

[@PhoenixKeebs]

When you get the cowberry, can you compare it to lofree flow?

[@semiprotech]

Yes! That's exactly what I'm waiting for - I wanted to get the cowberry and moss switches to compare to the switches in the Flow before making an updated comparison. I will be working on that as soon as my preorder for the switches arrives!

[@kyou_go]

Are there still keyboards like nuphy that can be put on top of a laptop?

[@Brian.M]

[@jamesk1619]

So the aloe switches are listed as linear 37gf while the cowberry is listed as linear 45gf. But the aloe sounds much louder in the video. Is there another reason for it? Which would you recommend for the quietest switches?

[@semiprotech]

I have a set of Aloe and have used them in my Air60 and can confirm they are quite a bit louder than the other linear switch options. They are very easy to bottom out because they're so light and that likely means you're striking the bottom with more force. The new Cowberry to me seems like it will be the quietest linear switch, but I need to get a full set to really compare it equally. Out of the tactile switches the Wisteria seems to be the quietest.

[@jamesk1619]

@@semiprotech Thanks for the reply. I probably listened to the switches clip over 20 times. i didn't like the delayed clickiness of the cowberry.. just ordered the keyboard with the wisteria switches. unfortunately, i forgot to use your code but i did email them to see if it can be applied to the order.

[@dooskrit]

V2 looks like pretty not bad, but I guess while my V1 is alive - won't be upgraded. Only thing I'm waiting next version - is switch to wired connection wia fn+123 - and it does no need physical switch on top of the keyboard. And I guess nuphy needs also automatically detection what OS is connected to. It will cause minus 1 switch as well. That's all I miss in V1. I guess if keyboard will remember up to 5-6 wireless connections - it will kill most of other keyboards (yes not everyone need such number, but why not??). To summarize - waiting V3)

[@sugarbagels]

Now that you've had this for a while - how's the connection stability? I have the V1 and every once in a while on 2.4 it'll stall out or send a bunch of random letters that I didn't type. Odd behavior since the dongle is like 6 inches from my keyboard.

[@semiprotech]

The only issue I've had with the V2 on the 2.4GHz connection is the range (same experience on the 60/75/96). All of them required placement closer to the keyboard than my usual setup, but once I got them within about 12 inches, they've been stable. No weird behavior so far, and I have mostly used the 2.4GHz connection with my work windows laptop connected via dock.

[@Gsisky]

I don't understand the differences in the switches! There are options to choose from red, blue, and brown, but also others with strange names. What would be the equivalence on those with names to a red normal switch?

[@terencelee6492]

I have 3 low profile 75% keyboards: Keychron K3 Pro, NuPhy Air75 V1 and Lofree Flow.. In terms of typing experience, Lofree Flow is still the best. It feels more solid and sounds marbly.

[@Nick_B_88]

lol I have the same three keebs and totally agree that K3 Pro and Air75, both being really nice and satisfying, just can't match the Flow in terms of typing (as well as in terms of overall feel and aesthetics) even despite the fact that in my case K3 Pro and Air75 are fully modded and lubed while the Flow is just stock.

[@Marcus_Caius]

I just drop a full cup of coffee on my AIR75 original. While it may still work, I had a look at the V2 and was considering ordering one. I have a bunch of keycaps set and I am wondering if they will fit on the V2?

[@semiprotech]

As long as they are MX keycaps that are low profile and the stabilizer connections are parallel with the switch, they will fit! If the stabilizer connections on the keycaps have an offset (not in a straight line with the switch), they won't fit.

[@z1rb]

They added a cover for the 2.4ghz reciever that clips onto the cable

[@quillaja]

Well, I just got a logitech mx mechanical 100% keyboard ("for windows"). I'm returning it after one day of use, and will get the Air 75 V2 as soon as the black keys w/ brown switches variant becomes available again. I'm not a "snob" at all (used a compact logitech K360 for years and had no complaints), and i think the typing experience on the MX Mech is just fine. I was originally drawn to the MX because of the battery life. However, I HATE HATE HATE that I can't remap the lower right control key cluster (alt, fn, ctrl, and ... start?) even using the logitech options+ software. I also can't remap the fn key using windows powertoys key remapper because the fn key isn't a "regular" key. And why is there a start key on the right side now? At this rate, keyboards will have start keys in the home row! Oh yea, and if you want to use the "smart actions" to create macros or whatever in the options+ software you have to SIGN IN to a logitech account! That is so batshit insane I can't even comprehend it. I also got a M650 mouse to go with the MX keyboard (on the wireless dongle), to mimic my current K360 + M510 mouse. The "back" thumb button on the mouse **doesn't work** UNLESS the logitech options+ software is running!! serious, wtf!? I'm returning that as well.

The lower contrast on the keycap fonts is a downgrade for me. I can barely see the letters. I don't know why they did that. I hope there is an option to choose the older keycaps.

Bring these changes to an Air96 v2 and I'm sold

[@Leviathan-fu2sx]

Caution: For mac users, please note that v2 no longer has the globe key/apple fn key. Even if you patch the qmk firmware, you still lose the globe key/apple fn key when using bluetooth.

[@zazakage62]

thank you so much dude

[@MarcJSchmidt]

what does that mean? the v2 has also a fn key, but it doesn't work in macOs? As I see it from the pictures they have the exact same key layout? I don't understand

[@zazakage62]

@@MarcJSchmidt i guess it means that the FN button is only for the Keyboard shortcuts like switching device and adjusting keyboard brightness. You cannot use the fn button for mac os shortcuts like fn + delete for forward delete.

[@Leviathan-fu2sx]

@@MarcJSchmidt The fn key is only used to change layer on the keyboard. It will send nothing to macos, so shortcuts that involved globe key will not work. For example, on air75 v1, by default, pressing globe key will change the input source and this does not work on v2

[@Mr.C0ffee]

What are you talking about? There are literally proprietary keys in the keyboard for any of the Fn shortcuts you can think. Del (forward del) home, end, scroll, etc. you don’t need the Fn key

I'm going to replace my Air96 with the Air75 V2 - which is probably going to be more of a sidegrade than a strict upgrade like it would be for the original Air75 since the 96 was already much better. That said, QMK/VIA support plus wireless is *huge* and I am looking forward to seeing how much more powerful the new MCU chip performs. I'm also looking forward to the two new switch options and picked Moss pre-installed in my V2, hoping for improving even on the nice Wisteria. But with Cowberry being such quiet mid-heavy early-actuation linears I might very well swap those in before too long seeing as this is my keyboard for days in the office.

[@Leviathan-fu2sx]

It is a shame that none of the reviewers mentioned that v2 no longer has the apple fn key. I believe it is a deal breaker for many mac users. Anyone who cares about apple fn/globe key, air96 is a better choice.

[@flarierza33]

I'm looking on the website and the fn key is still there. Which fn key are you referring to?

[@marcuszettergren8885]

So many good keyboards and so few available with ISO.

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

why the main letters looks like are BOLD?

[@Mr.C0ffee]

Man if only the flow had QMK compatible…

[@Zphex]

do you need to use the USB receiver for a mac?

[@semiprotech]

All of the connections have worked fine with my macbook - usb wired, the 2.4GHz receiver, and bluetooth.

[@heroofjustice3349]

What about bluetooth connection? I tested both Keychron K3 and Numphy Air75v1 and it was complete disaster. I need to put bluetooth receiver 30 cm from keyboard to make it work :(

[@semiprotech]

I've been using the bluetooth with my Macbook since I received it at distances up to 53 inches away without any problem. Any obstructions are going to affect the connection with any keyboard, but with a clear line of sight I've had no issues at normal distances.

[@irkenpost]

I'm new into mechanical keyboards. The hardest thing for me is to find the right switch. I'm a gamer but also don't want to bother others in the house with a too loud sound.

[@eckomind]

The cowberry switches would be a good choice.

[@irkenpost]

Thanks, appreciate the advice!

[@YoanZegrar]

Does this keyboard works on android devices ?

[@swiftsifu]

Important tip: if you buy a product from Nuphy and you want a refund/exchange they require you to ship to Japan.

[@easterlingderek34]

I just wished that you could buy the optional Dual OS keys so if you need them. Rather than make it not possible at all.
