I replaced my Mx mini with a nuphy v2 but I’ve missed the auto detection soo much.
Howdy! The Nuphy Air 60 has the F keys as the Fn+(number) controls so you just have to hold down Fn and press the corresponding numerical number to get the F functions, for anyone who is on the fence about that. I have the Air 60 and I am still able to use all the in game controls which use the F keys, no probs! Thanks for the videos, theyre awesome!

After backing two Lofree keyboards on Kickstarter, I’m not doing that again. While the keyboards themselves are fine/good, their Kickstarter process is a pain.
That said, I do love my Lofree Edge, it’s my new "travel" keyboard. ULTRA-slim, while still having a great key feel.
Gettin my first ever low-profile mechanic keyboard today, i went with Keychron K2 Pro. I hope i dont get dissapointed
Would love you to review the new nuphy kick75
Air60 he is beautiful
Every time Is see this kind of video, I think "do these people really use a keyboard"
All given examples have clearly big flaws, so not sure why you could recommended any of these
Nuphy Air60HE for me. I love the look
I am sorry, but adding Logitech to this list looks like a joke. No proper switches, no gasket mount, horrible sound, no VIA… For the benefit of sharing a dongle with your Logitech mouse and a very questionable sensor that turns you keyboard half a second faster? Idk, this is completely out of place to me.
Please rescue my household, i need mechanical silent low profile keyboard please. 🙂
arent there cheaper alternatives?
Yeah that Nuphy software looks great (and I’ve used the Wooting software as well which is amazing) but guess what, that software doesn’t work with their Air75 V2 keyboards so you can’t do anything with it and they don’t have a solution, they’ll just tell you it doesn’t work.. so be aware
I bought the nuphy air75 v2 for one big reason. It’s cheaper compared to the other keyboard listed there. Maybe it’s the regional price or shipping reason. Would love to get the Magi65 if it’s cheaper here
Casual Age of Empires player here, I don’t think you need an F-row (referring to 08:18) or at least, I think for occasional F-key usage, using a modifier key to access the f-key on a layer should work (I assume it can do that).
No split keyboard love 🥲
Waiting for that MQ80
i just boght the CHERRY MX-LP 2.1, wondering why it didnt make your list , but maybe is just not that good 😅
Why did you not include ROG Falchion RX in your reviews?
What’s a good budget one? I don’t need anything fancy.. was looking for something in the $20-30 range..
Looking for a low profile 75 percent wireless keyboard (preferably 2.4ghz) that can be used on your lap without signal interference. Does that mean I need to look for plastic ones?
1:14 why did the keyboard bend like that when you were turning it? Is it a visual effect?
Can’t find anything good use AA/ AAA batteries
Does Nuphy Air 75 V2 have a wake up delay on wired mode? I have a Lofree Flow 84 and the wake up delay is a pain.
And none of them have a left "FN" button instead of stupidly a huge space bar.
can i get a summary or tl;dr
I bought the Nuphy Air V2 75 a few months ago. My unit has a strange issue – from time to time, it behaves as if one of the keys gets "stuck" and keeps typing the same letter continuously, e.g., aaaaaaaaaaaa, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, etc. This happens when using Bluetooth connectivity, on all three available channels. I recorded a video and sent it to customer service, but after a month of waiting, they claimed there was no defect. I do not recommend this product.
i just need lofree flow lite in 60% form factor for portability
Side-mount cable is superior as I can get the keyboard closer to my laptop.
Magi65 + Kailh Silent Choc V2 linears -> Kailh Hades on release
Ironic how hall effect sensors are seen as cheating when there are things like aim assist build into the game.
TBF, I can see how having a software that ONLY send the LAST activated input could be argued to maybe be cheating, IF the game uses the fact that casual keyboards send ALL active inputs and uses it to build a skill based game play mechanic around it. But outside of THAT game, it’s just propper gaming input registration. Like you can’t tilt your joystick on a controller into two directions at once, it is clear that on keyboards you intend to use the latest pressed key as the actual input. This entire debate reminds me of a "bug" with an old controller on an old marrio cardt game, where the left/right pad could wear down over time, unintentionally enabling you to send two inputs at once, which accidentally enabld new speed run methods. In the beginning, this specific method was dicovered on a third party controller, which then was seen as a cheat in the beginning, UNTILL it was figured out that even the original controller would eventually get this feature too, if you just used it long enough. Means EVERY controller technically had this feature. MEans the "new" controller, could not be seen as cheating. And here its the same. It’s simple only another and JUST MORE PRECISE (!!!) type of sending your intentions from your brain over your arm through the keyboard into the computer. Seeing THIS as cheating is just stupid in my personal opinion.
And about the other feature, that as soon as you press the key, it’s seen as pressed and as soon as you release the key its seen as released, no matter how far the key was pressed or released before you changed directions, that’s just how keyboard inputs SHOULD get registered. It was just simply not possible with the mechanics of "old" keyboards. In other words, it’s just overcoming a technical limitation. AKA: a fix. Means seeing this as cheating is also just stupid in my opinion.
Disclaimer: Lofree has an affiliate program is which why so many YouTubers are shilling it right now.
I hoped one of them would be as flat as my gaming laptop keyboard, since I hoped to find one like that for my pc. But all of these are too big and clunky
mute
I only hate that Logitech MX Mechanical Mini doesn’t have hot swap.
instead of writing keyboard 1, keyboard 2, etc for the timestamps, write the god damn name of the keyboards, how greedy are the YouTubers omg. Also stop promoting all the keyboards in the world to just promote your referral keys, definitely not a good reviewer
I just got myself Iquinix mg65. The design, the packaging, the cable, metal keycap replacement, the thick sound – does it get better? Hell yeah. I am returning it after 1 hour of use. What is the point of the thock if stabs are rattling? How do you invest so much in materials but the spacebar eats shit compared to the damn Tecware phantom for $50? I don’t understand. It’s built from insanely good materials but it feels like falling apart. I couldn’t take a keycap off without pulling out a switch. One of 2 metal keycap replacements was not sitting on switches and was falling off. Iquinix, go get your shit together.
I ordered Lofree flow lite right away, will see what’s that about.
I am using hhkb.i never used mechanical, only one time is in internet bar used an optical switch not a typical mechanical switch.hhkb typing feeling is just membrane nothing special, difference is just keycap quality is premium.
Why do people get stuck on mechanical keyboards? They are extremely thick. I’ve been using Apple Magic Keyboard for the last 2 decades and it’s still the best. And I am not an Apple fan boy, I only like their keyboard. It’s so thin!
The fact that only Logitech out of this list offers a ISO layout is sad
Who cares about the features mentioned, it only needs to sound good, it’s not like we use the keyboards to do anything useful. Happy to sit all day pressing random crap for the sound
When it comes to Mac user + Nordic layout (yes I can remap keys but if I’m gonna pay so much, I’d like to be able to at least find compatible key caps with the right letters on them?)
There’s Keychron, Saitechi, Logitech….
And I think that starts to be about it?
The mechanical keyboard world really hates the iso keyboard users, and hates em even more if it’s low profile.
For that reason I’ll give it to the K3 pro, because I can see the letters I’m typing.
Can you include the mm height of each keyboard (bottom to the top of the key) for further comparison on your next review compilation?
Would you recommend the Nuphy Air 75HE for productivity, office work, everyday usage as well?
I think the lofree flow 84 should have definitely been #2 if not #1
Ive been at the career fair 2 years ago at the University of Pretoria where a company showed off the motion sensor module. They said that they were working with Logitech, so its just super awesome to see the tech in a consumer product.
Low-profile keyboards are becoming the size of the old standard keyboards and are getting away with it because all the new and more popular mechanical keyboards are tall af and is seen as the new "standard".
I ended up purchasing the Nuphy Air75 HE based on your recommendations for the Air60 HE. Loving it so far, very smooth typing and gaming experience. The low profile took some getting used to, but it’s coming together nicely now. The keeb feels rock solid and built very well.
Please help! Does anyone know where I can find switches for my MAGI65 Pro with more actuation force or that are tactile?? I can’t type properly on it, and IQUINIX refuse to make any suggestions!
