It’s easy to get lost in the rabbit hole of mechanical keyboards. Before you know it you’ll be in the attic soldering yourself a custom built board with cherry keycaps costing a few hundred dollars. For people wanting a travel-friendly mechanical keyboard without spending too much time and effort, the NuPhy Air75 is an all-in-one package. It has the satisfaction and sound of a high-end keyboard, but won’t break the bank.
Why do I need this?
The NuPhy Air75 is an ultra-slim wireless mechanical keyboard. It contains the world’s thinnest PBT spherical keycap in a rugged aluminium frame and contains a low-latency wireless connection to pair the keyboard with your iPad, phone or computer. Up to 4 devices can be connected at the same time.
You’re able to hot-swap all the Air75’s keys without needing a soldering iron or other keyboard manufacturing experience. You can choose between Gateron red, blue or brown keycaps, each producing a different sound, with the blue keycaps being the most clicky (and perhaps annoying to your co-workers).
It comes with an elegant travel case to keep your Air75 from damaging while you’re on the road with it. The case also doubles as a stand for your tablet or phone, with a minimal footprint.
The keyboard layout is suitable for both Windows and Mac, thanks to the additional three keys you can swap out for Windows machines.

Typing sound
One of the main advantages of a mechanical keyboard next to the feeling and travel of the keys is the sound it produces. Check the video below to get a small taste of the different keycaps and the sounds they make.

Of course I came her to confirm my biases. I just got the Nuphy75 (typing this on the keyboard) and I love it. I got it primarily for an on the go keyboard for my Ipad but I am loving it so much I might have to get another one as my primary. It is well built and sounds great I ordered the brown switches and could not be happier.
