At first glance it may look like NuPhy simply started a new line to offer a TKL layout, but the Gem80 is vastly different than the Halo series. It takes a step into “custom” keyboard territory, with the base price being a barebones partially-assembled kit that doesn’t include keycaps or switches.
The NuPhy Air75 V2 introduced several upgrades to NuPhy’s low profile keyboard line. But the Air96, which came out in early 2023, already had a few upgrades over the original Air75, so the V2 updates aren’t quite as substantial.
The battle for the title of best 75% low profile keyboard rages on, and NuPhy has a new top-tier offering in the Air75 V2. The features and specs now make it stand alone atop other low profile mechanical keyboards, but the Lofree Flow still offers a couple things absent in all other offerings.
The original NuPhy Air75 was, in my opinion, one of the best options on the market for a 75% low profile mechanical keyboard. The V2 now makes improvements in several key areas that were potential drawbacks to the original. Is it still the top choice?
A sixty-percent low profile keyboard is a great travel companion or partner to your laptop. As long as you don’t need a row of function keys, this layout can be a great option.

There is no shortage of competition in the market of 75% mechanical keyboards. Many of the options in the $80-$100 range offer great features but have a less-than-premium typing experience. At the same time, many of the $180+ (or even $250+) options offer a premium feel but fewer features (such as no wireless connectivity). So…
The NuPhy Air96 and Halo96 are two of the best pre-built mechanical keyboards I’ve used. They both deliver a premium feel and typing experience greater than their prices would suggest. But if you’re trying to decide between the low profile and high profile option, that can be a tough choice.
The Keychron K3 Pro is the closest I’ve come to finding a keyboard that could best the NuPhy Air75 when it comes to a 75% low profile mechanical keyboard to pair with my MacBook. How does it shape up against NuPhy’s offering?
In my ongoing search for the “best” low profile mechanical keyboard to pair with my Macbook Pro, I couldn’t ignore the Logitech MX Mechanical Mini for Mac. Will a Mac-specific mechanical from big dog Logi take down my favorite Air75 from NuPhy?
The NuPhy Air75 is one of the most popular low profile mechanical 75 percent keyboards on the market. But how does it compare to the newer Cascade Slim from AZIO?
