I brought the Air75v2 last month with Cowberry, coming from 2 years with an MX Keys. I liked the sound but agree, I was making so many typos!

chose NuPhy Air75 V2 based on look and reviews, but it has been a huge disappointment. Even after many firmware updates, connection problems persist, like keys not register, dropped keys

Just got my preorder with Cowberry switches and am really enjoying it. This being my first low profile mechanical board I was surprised at just how thocky it sounds, as well as the overall quality of the construction and factory lube on the switches and stabilizers.

Reddit▲ recommend

But due to the short travel, I like them a lot in my nuphy air75 v2. They feel smooth, bumpy and really nice. I also feel like I type faster.

Reddit— neutral

The Nuphy is a much better experience but the lightweight construction renders it kind of loud, with no room for additional sound deadening, and I feel bad taking it to the office.

after using it for a few days, I have not been able to get used to the low profile combination with Nuphy Keys. I also think the Nuphy is not worth 139.99 or more depending on switch options.

My experience with my air75v2 was bittersweet. Out of the box, it was working fine in wired mode and 2.4ghz, until I started using more in bluetooth and encountered frequent freeze/shutdowns.

Air75v2, 6 months, then 2 months. First was a swollen battery, second was a warranty replacement, doing this sort of tttttthhhhhhiiiinnnngggggg aaggggaaaaaiiinnnnn.

Bought air75v2 with moss. Changed key caps to shine through and different profile Changed to brown switches Now it’s great!

Reddit▲ recommend

It’s my go to travel keyboard for my MacBook Pro. I hate typing on laptop keyboards.

Reddit— neutral

The Nuphy keyboard is built better and has a better typing sound BUT somehow I feel more comfortable with the Logitech, and I do less typos with it, so I end up using the Logitech most of the time.

I have the exact same problem with my Nuphy Air75 v2 (no charging, wired mode does not work). I'm kind of dissapointed since I purchased it only 3 months ago....

I can tell you how they handled the issues: it took them over a year to provide usable firmware, which tells me everything I need to know about the company.

Reddit▲ recommend

I prefer now My Air75v2 with Wisteria ! Love them.

Reddit— neutral

Great experience after one year…HOWEVER, every time I connect 3 devices (air75v2+mouse mx3+any bt headphones) when I type on the keyboard the audio stutters badly.

Reddit▲ recommend

I had both as well but ended up keeping the Nuphy Air75v2 (with Moss switches). Reason being the super slow wakeup & connect via Bluetooth of the Lofree. Found that well annoying.

Reddit— neutral

on nuphy i got plenty of missclicks, but im no coding/writing person so maybe its lack of practice issue or just magic keyboard feels more natural for me.

Reddit▼ don’t recommend

Air75V2 is the most expensive and the worst sounding of the bunch. At one point it was considered one of the best but it’s been surpassed by many keyboards recently released that feel more premium and cost less.

Reddit▲ recommend

Just got a Nuphy Air75 V2 as a gift, so I've dived into research about the world of mechanical keyboards. Definitely noticing the quality difference, and I'm very happy for it.

Reddit— neutral

They sound and feel good, but it's still a bit too loud for typing during calls/meetings, unless I soft press the keys and/or typ a bit slower.

Reddit▼ don’t recommend

The air75v2 still has issues a year and a half into its launch. Unless I use a custom firmware the dongle and bluetooth performance is ass. It spams keys constantly when pressed leading to frequent disconnections.

i got these keyboards after i returned a Nuphy Air75 v2 and an Air96 v2 because their firmware is horrible. it gets a lot of ghost and missed keys.

Reddit— neutral

I like my Nuphy air75 v2 with cowberries switches no issues but what i hate is that dumb software plus when you switch off your keyboard the charging light will turn off to so you don't even know if its fully charged

Reddit▲ recommend

I never really tried liner switches but damn was is smooth a butter and made any hand fatigue disappear. Such a nice typing experience as well. Never expected to like it the this much.

Redditⓘ good to know

My Air75v2 was also my first mechanical keyboard and yes, even with Wisterias I had to re-learn how to type, now using too little force. Like after a month later, I stopped misstyping. So, just give it some time.

Redditⓘ good to know

Just received my Air75v2 at work earlier, and had that same wobble. I can confirm that the base is bent, since I checked mine against a calibrated granite surface plate we had at work.

Redditⓘ good to know

I have the NuPhy Air75 V2 keyboard and using 2.4 wireless + MacOS. It has the odd duplicate pressing sporadically problem. On wired it works flawlessly though.

Redditⓘ good to know

Air75v2 only problem on the stock firmware is crashing and then repeating keys. Fixed it with custom firmware which works fine.

Started with a NuPhy Air75 V2 back in end of April

Custom firmware fixed all my issues thankfully.
