> 3 dayPara conectar a una laptop es excelente, sin embargo, si lo intento conectar a una tablet (Samsung S8plus) presenta dificultades para poner los acentos en idioma español a pesar de haber configurado el teclado físico. Espero que haya una actualización.

> 3 dayFor background, Im very picky with tech. This is my 3rd and hopefully last mechanical keyboard. I was looking for the following features: • TKL • low profile • wireless (2.4ghz specifically for no delay) • long battery life • swappable keycaps • hotswap switches • backlighting • around $100 • solid feel The Good In addition to satisfying the list of required features, Im very happy with the sound and feel of this keyboard • The board has a great weight and sturdy build due to the aluminum body • The function key row can default to F-keys or alternative functions (brightness/media/volume/etc.) if you update the firmware • The switches came pre-lubed so they have a very consistent feel (although re-lubing them would probably make this keyboard shine) • The default keycaps feel very nice with a slightly indented center and the color is pleasing to the eye • The backlighting has several presets and colors with an easy-to-use shortcut key system • The side lights are useful and customizable • There are several modding options for the enthusiasts • Not really my thing, but you may be pleased to know the Air 75 has an anime girl mascot and the keyboard comes with stickers and a poster on the rear side of the instructions The Bad Its taking a bit of time to get used to the low-profile keys (theyre a bit wider than standard keycaps so actuating them on the edges tends to press neighboring keys) • Theres a dedicated, non-re-mappable Siri/Cortana button

> 3 dayI will note first I have many keyboards, from Topres to mechanical to buckling to membrane to scissor. In my quest to find a comfortable daily typing keyboard (to replace my daily-driver 2012 MBP chicklet keyboard) I acquired one of these NuPhys, specifically for its novelty in offering the low-profile mechanical keys with PBT caps, opting for blue-switches for typing emphasis. Upon reception I was immediately impressed by the build quality and presentation. The designers clearly put effort into the keyboard and the thinking behind it. I had recently grabbed a Keychron K3 with similar specs but found the keys too crowded and with poor keycaps (though I believe they offer PBT caps on their site, if in stock); meanwhile the NuPhy held me in excitement, it feels more robust and inviting while still keeping a small profile. The chassis feels sturdy and minimal, the feet adequately keep it from moving, and the arrow keys in this format work well. The wireless options are standard, but I did appreciate them including a wireless dongle on top of the Bluetooth (though the dongle has no markings on it to designate it is paired to this keyboard, and it will be easy to lose without some kind of socket for holding on the board itself). The keys are truly the selling point here, the design choices just reinforce that I felt good buying it (which isnt the case with other keyboards). But it becomes a very specific kind of feeling. Honestly I grew to resent that I had ordered a blue-switch setup - the keys, with their almost cartoon friendliness in sculpting and low travel time, somehow do not read as clicky to me after use like a chicklet does; I should have opted for brown-switch or even red-switches and the pleasant thunk that the frame relates (which seems unique to this board) and it would have felt a much more integrated experience. Somehow the clicking detracts from the roundness or softness that the rest of the board really suggests to me. This became more apparent when I swapped out some of the switches with included singles of the others, and luckily, if I am so interested, I can order a set of the other switches and exploit the difference thanks to the hotswappable nature. Which doesnt make much sense to me otherwise - since I cant imagine personally using more than one switch type for the whole board. Maybe I will break down and try some kind of maddening dual-switch setup later after I have gone insane from the opulence of modern keyboardery. As for the lighting, I prefer it off and it was not a selling point to me. If they wanted it to be, the keycaps being opaque was the wrong call, as the (seemingly impressive) lighting system becomes a kind of disinterested back-glow. Im a touch typist so I could care less. Notable the F and J key nibs are somewhat subtle, I would prefer them to be just slightly more pronounced. Despite being a touch typist, I find myself using my wrists more and seeking more verticality in typing, I think also simply an affect of its aesthetics, though perhaps it is that the keys somehow feel almost too large (their unique sculpting probably adding to this) so I feel I need to move more than I would otherwise, but this could all come with familiarity and habitual use. A note on a strange limitation I found was that the function keys default to non-function key functions (ex brightness, volume), and one has to download and install new firmware to remedy this very specific thing. This was honestly almost a complete deal breaker, and I only saw it after I received the unit. In the end perhaps my ideal would have been the version without the function keys, in brown or red switches, just the straight Air60 model as a simple dedicated keyboard for prose or journaling. For that it would offer a unique (and dare I say fun?) experience. I am still intrigued and excited by the board, purely on its aesthetics and form and the experience it offers in typing, and it stands out among many of the others I have collected for its design - so I am happy to have supported NuPhy and will be curious to see what they continue to do in this field. Ideally I would rate this 4.5 but will give it a 5/5 to promote it over a 4/5, given those two options.
