My Daily Driver

Don’t know why there aren’t more Nuphys on here. Chose this low profile 96% as daily driver due to its portability for when I go into the office. Nuphy and Gateron’s new “Wisteria” switches. I love it so far! I bought both this one (Nuphy air96) and Keychron K5 Pro and ended selling the keychron. Just preferred the thonkiness of the air96. Would appreciate keycap suggestions!

p3tricor,

As a 40% keyboard user, I find amusing that a full size keyboard in disguise gets called “portable”

Nice keeb tho :)

noodohs,

I have the 75 at work. I kinda think I prefer the low travel distance of low profile switches and the Nuphys sound really good. If only I could get that feel in my QK75, hmmmmmmmm.

It’s a beauty (and the cat too)! Personally, I had a 96% before and I wish there was a way to find the arrow keys without looking down or trying a key. When the arrow keys are separated, it’s nbd to use them by feel. I sort of wish they keys had some sort of bump or something to make it easy to feel them out.

BlackRose,

The up arrow has a bump.

Ahh, I see it now! I had a 96% Keychron and it didn’t.

Also using the Air 96 whenever I work at the office and it's really nice. Overall, I prefer the Halo 75 at home but their pre-built low pro keebs are really neat.

For keycaps I am using these XVX doubleshot PBT shine-throughs on mine, like them a lot.

KBae,

Really like the look of the denim teal and purple neon skyline ones. Thanks!

priapus,

Nuphy’s low profiles are fantastic. I was so impressed by it’s feel and sound for it’s price and form factor.

Pechente,

I agree. I’m way happier than I am with my keychron k3. Build feels nicer and the battery lasts quite long.

KBae,

Agree. My keychron k5 just sounded hollow in comparison.

merida_belle,

God I love a 96% keyboard. I don’t have keycap suggestions but that is a beautiful keyboard and I love the low profile of it.
