Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about NuPhy AIR75 V2

  • Excellent build quality with a premium aluminum top frame and solid PBT keycaps.
  • Versatile tri-mode connectivity including a fast 1000Hz polling rate on 2.4GHz for gaming.
  • Significantly improved battery life (4000mAh) compared to the V1 model.
  • Native QMK/VIA support allowing for extensive key remapping and macro customization.
  • Satisfying typing acoustics due to internal sound-dampening foam layers (PORON and IXPE).
  • Highly portable, low-profile design that can fit directly over most laptop keyboards.
  • Hot-swappable PCB allows for easy switch customization without soldering.

What we don't like about NuPhy AIR75 V2

  • Stock keycaps are not shine-through, making it difficult to read legends in dark rooms.
  • The 75% compact layout and flat keycap profile can lead to a higher typo rate initially.
  • Occasional software hurdles, such as difficulty getting VIA to recognize the device on macOS without firmware updates.
  • Some users report a 'hollow' or 'pingy' sound from the steel plate if not further modded.
  • Bluetooth interference issues have been noted when multiple wireless devices are used simultaneously.
  • Limited official low-profile keycap replacement options compared to standard mechanical keyboards.

Verdict

The NuPhy Air75 V2 is a low-profile wireless mechanical keyboard featuring a 75% layout (84 keys) within an ultra-slim aluminum and ABS frame measuring just 13.5mm thick. It offers tri-mode connectivity via Bluetooth 5.1, a 2.4GHz receiver, and USB-C, notably supporting a 1,000Hz polling rate in both wired and 2.4GHz modes for reduced latency. Key performance upgrades include a large 4,000mAh battery providing up to 220 hours of use (with RGB off), full QMK/VIA open-source firmware support for deep customization, and a hot-swappable PCB compatible with various Gateron and NuPhy low-profile switches. Pros include its high-quality double-shot PBT keycaps, improved internal sound-dampening foam, and multi-device pairing for up to four devices, while common cons include non-shine-through keycaps that limit RGB visibility in the dark and a potentially complex initial firmware update process.
