- I unbox and test out NuPhy Air96 low-profile keyboard. Wisteria and Brown switches are tested along with a few different types of keycaps (Shine-through and Shiokaze nSA Dye-sub PBT Keycaps). I also compare Air96 with Logitech MX Keys Mechanical and Keychron K5.

I love the way u edit your video. it's so organized yet feels comforting and inviting!
Thank you so much! You made my day :)
Your review of the MX Keys Mechanical led me to get some MX Keys for myself and my partner. MX Keys have been awesome so thank you for your insight.
I'm pleased! :)
Thank you. Very helpful details. This will be my choice for travel.
Glad it was helpful!
This review was so helpful to me in making some decisions on this keyboard - and I already had those Shiokaze caps in my cart! Wishing the wisteria switches were available pre-loaded, but I'll have to get those separately later. Thank you for the info!
My pleasure! Also, I enjoyed a bit of do it yourself aspect of the keyboard ;)
NuPhy keyboards look amazing and have 2.4G wireless which I miss the most in Keychrons. If they were sold in the full 100% layout it would be an instant buy for me. Since they are not, I'll stay with my Keychron K5 SE.
Thanks for the video :)
Seems like we think alike! Which switch do you have on K5 SE?
@@JosephKim I prefer blue, but honestly didn't had a chance to work with brown switches for a longer time, so I might check them in near future.
And when it comes to thinking alike I have exactly the same gripes as you about layout and spaces between function keys (which may sound nitpicky for some people) :)
@@JosephKim I hope that thanks to your videos (and others as well) producers will notice that there's some demand for full size quality low-profile mechanical keyboards
OH NO, 100% will have my mouse keep hitting the right side of my keyboard
Yes! I would also be interested in a low profile 100% layout Nuphy
Yeah!
I just bought the air96. I love it. I have the red switches but I'm just about to get the wisteria as well. I'm at uni so I'm typing a lot and it's making it a more enjoyable experience
Yes! That's important as you spend so much time on it :)
Greate video. I actually like the 96% layout because it fits perfectly in my backpack. My company does not have permanent seating and they only have the Gold Touch keyboards which I'm not a fan of, so this keyboard is great for me.
Interesting. I had to look up what was Goldtouch keyboard.
@@JosephKim Goldtouch keyboard is the corporate keyboard just like Blackberry used to be the corporate cell phone. Hopefully Goldtouch will suffer the same fate.
Yeah, same, need a good keyboard that stands up to the hybrid work life
Great review! I started my mechanical keyboard journey wth the MX Keys Mechanical, but now I'm looking for something that fits in my bag to take to work. Seems like the Air96 may fit the bill.
Nice! Did you use full layout before?
@@JosephKim Yup, had the regular MX Keys before that. And of course the cheap keyboards that come with every standard desktop my work gets.
@@illuminati229 MX Machanical Mini isn't too bad if you don't need the numberpad.
@@JosephKim don't know if I'm willing to give up the numpad just yet.
Amazing video because alot of the problems addressed were fixed with the V2.
- Dedicated Pause/Play
- Wired/2.4GHz/Bluetooth
- Wireless Stutter
I know what keyboard i am buying!
Nice! Thanks for letting me know. Do you mean that it now has VIA compatibility? I didn't see a dedicated pause/play button.
I can't concentrate in the middle after seeing that knife beside your hand. 😶😶 Anyway, great review and appreciate your take on this keyboard.
Haha, sorry, and thank you!
@@JosephKimWhat knife is it? Looks really nice. I feel like I should recognize it but I don't lol.
@@johncoleman6561 I believe they are Kershaw. I just painted it blue.
Awesome, thanks! Great review btw, found you while waiting for my air96 v2.
Hi, thanks.
Thank you!
Any idea if the NuPhy Air96 will get a V2 upgrade soon, like the Air 75? The QMK/VIA and other upgrades the Air 75 V2 got are pretty significant.
There are a number of threads on this topic. The consensus is it's not gonna happen as Air96 was released just a bit ago (earlier this year), while Air75 V1 was already a couple of years old.
I'm also considering getting Air96 not waiting for the update.
I just learned about this too! I wish they would. I have no knowledge on this though.
@@JosephKim They just (Oct 31) announced preorder on Air96 V2. V1 users can upgrade the PCB for $35 USD to get most of the V2 functionality.
Awesome review Joseph. I'm looking to make that jump as well, to a low profile mechanical keyboard. But anything less than a full size keyboard seems too far of a leap. Did you continue to use the Nuphy keyboard, or did you go back to the Keychron keyboard. I was also wondering if it help touch typing by placing some raised decal sticker on the arrow or numpad keys to tell the difference. I'm still sitting on the fence about 96% or going down the scale and purchasing a numpad separately. What would your thoughts be ? Cheers!
I went back to Keychron after the video. I just got ten keyless version with a new numpad I am currently trialing. Looking quite promising.
@@JosephKim Awesome ! I went with Nuphy's Air75 v2, thinking I'd rather miss the numpad than to have it there all squashed up and not use it. Are you planning on reviewing the numpad as well ? I'd be really interested to know what your thoughts are.
I am planning to! Been caught up in quite a few things!
Keep being Legendary brother@@JosephKim
I got a keychron K4 and wanted low profile keys so the nuphy shine through fits on k4! Only missing is the light button but I just put a random scissor key on it lol. otherwise I love the nuphy keycaps and its color variations it comes with.
Haha, I also used NuPhy keys on Keychron after this video :)
I wonder if you could install regular height keycaps on a NuPhy keyboard?
Not even sure if I really wanted to do that, just wondering.. maybe it could be nice
I mean it's already pretty low-profile
I suppose you can. I just think it would be odd though. Don't they also make full height ones?
@@JosephKim Dunno. But I will be getting this keyboard and just thought it would be nice to try different things with it
Will try
Agree, would like to see the 100% version
Yep! We just have the V2 though.
Very cool, but the main problem for me is that there isn't any gap between the F1 row key's. I'm using an Apple magic 2 keyboard and i really want to go with a mechanical one. But it's hard to find the right one. The KeyChron comes closest for me. Though it doesn't have any media controls. Which i also use quite a lot.
Keychron has been my daily. But, yeah. The media key problem.
@@JosephKim It's really a hard search for Mac users to be honest. I mean, not having media key's isn't really a dealbreaker. But it's nice to have. For me, response time/reaction and the feeling of typing (not sure how to explain) are more important. I guess the brown or red switches would be nice for me. I guess i'll just have to try one and see how it feels. 🙂
There are quite a few mechanical keyboards with Mac compatibilities. The key typing on mechanical ones are quite satisfying as it is more tactile.
can you compare keychron k17 pro
I prefer to have a full layout if I can't have the numberpad detached somehow. I use Home, End, Page up and down quite often, and can't adapt to alternative layout too well.
Unfortunately, I cannot purchase this keyboard. I live in Italy. I was refunded 4 times, I used different payment methods. The support department can't do anything. Has anyone had this problem?
Ah, I'm sorry to hear that.
I had the same problem, a few years back. I live in Indonesia. But thankfully we have an official Nuphy Indonesia now
Seems they don't include normal colors.
You like subtle or muted tones like I do?
Please next video unbox matterport 2 pro
I would love to, but can't afford one!
Hopefully later I can get sustenance and be able to buy it
Can Insta 360 One X also be used as a matterport for scanning to make home designs?
@@melvinsandyduwanovetri6060 yes you can. But I do fine later versions of ONE X has slightly better quality.
A backlight with no shine-through keys by default has got to be the easiest money grab tactic. What a dumb idea
Haha, I honestly don't mind no shine through. But I can see why that would be a problem for people who need them.
You sound like you dont like/know .... woman :D
Anime Characters are a bit meh. I got a wife :)
