The Air75 V2 is the mechanical keyboard for people who work from a laptop and move around. At 598 g it is the lightest board here, and NuPhy says its Airfeet let it sit on top of most laptops, including MacBooks, so you can type on it directly over the built-in keyboard. It uses low-profile mechanical switches in several weights, connects by 2.4G at 1000 Hz, Bluetooth or USB-C, and NuPhy says it supports four devices. The 4000 mAh battery is 60% larger than the previous model's. Since the V2, NuPhy ships the Air series with QMK/VIA, so remapping and macros work in a browser on Windows, macOS and Linux, and Mac shortcuts such as Spotlight and Dictation are built in. Double-shot PBT keycaps replace the older dye-sub set. The trade-offs are a shallower low-profile feel, a 1-year warranty and no magnetic switch features. NuPhy was running a Black Friday discount when we checked.
