These keyboards offer a good overall typing experience. The keys are generally quite stable with only minimal wobbling that’s only a bit more pronounced on larger keys, and the keycaps are made of high-quality-feeling, double-shot PBT plastic. The stabilizers feel quite smooth and don’t make any rattling noises, and there are added silicone pads on the baseplate under the spacebar, which reduces the noise and the somewhat hollow feeling that spacebars often suffer from.
The low-profile design also means you don’t have to angle your wrists very steeply to reach all the keys, which can help reduce fatigue and strain from typing for longer periods.
Although these keyboards have standard spacing between keys, their compact form factors mean there aren’t spaces between some key clusters like on full-size keyboards (the arrow key cluster or navigation cluster, for instance).
These keyboards have somewhat unusual nSA profile keycaps. They’re slightly different from the keycaps on the previous generation NuPhy Air75, providing a bit more spacing between the edges of neighboring keys. Several people around our office subjectively found that typing on the newer NuPhy Air75 V2 doesn’t feel quite as cramped as the original NuPhy Air75 and feels closer to typing on a regular, full-sized keyboard rather than a compact model.
To illustrate this point, you can see an image comparing the 4.0mm space between the edges of the keyboard on the NuPhy Air75 V2 here compared to the 3.2mm space on the previous NuPhy Air75 here.
