It's so satisfying when I find a video for exactly what I was searching for, and even more so when I come across such an excellent thorough comparison. What a gem of a youtuber, automatically subbed.
a correction: key caps are not fully interchangeable. Keychron uses proprietary stabilizers for some of the keys and some other keys have different heights. So if you want to customize your keyboard with custom key caps, then avoid K3.
Good to know. I might still get some Nuphy Asi75 keycaps for my Keychron K5 SE, just for the character keycaps. Unless Nuphy makes a 100% size low profile keyboard...
Kinda late to ask, but are NuPhy’s “standard”. Like, if I’m buying something like a custom keycap from Etsy made to a size that should be compatible with the Air75, will it be actually compatible?
Air75 has been nicely improved with some recent firmware updates and now the control software has been released which isn’t only for illumination but also is good for macros.
@@EnforcerMan worth going on the Facebook group , the default mode I think for fn keys is the wrong way round but a button combo and it’s fixed once the firmware is updated
Thank you for such an excellent side-by-side! I was leaning towards a Nuphy and my husband was recommending the Keychron- made this the perfect review video. 😊
Thanks for a very helpful review. I got the K3 after watching; partly because there is a UK version. I have the optical blue switches. The click is there but it's subtle. The easiest way to describe the feel is that it is 'soft', next to my K3 with browns and RK61 with blues. On the up side, it is stylish, slim, quiet, and certainly portable. I'll probably keep it but I’ll see how I feel in a few days.
For now also dedicated software is worth to mention: Nuphy develops (now in beta) its own dedicated Nuphy console to customize board macros and key bindings. Keychron does not offer such software
I tried both, immediately returned the K3 V2. The K3 V2 is stepped like a typewriter, and my fingers were routinely blocked by each row above whatever row I started from. The NuPhy Air 75 with red switches is my favorite keyboard ever, even ordered some of their holiday and beach themed keycaps :) I also tried the Logitech Mechanical Mini - which I also returned due a noticeable delay while gaming, and awful feeling keycaps, which may not be an issue for most. I cannot comment on the wireless as I use the NuPhy in wired mode 100% of the time.
Awesome review. The moment I saw the NuPhy board on the LTT review I wanted to see a comparison video like this because I have the k3v2 and could easily spot the similarities.
I like your review, just want to mention that it's hard to judge the sound of the keyboards in the first typing test, because you seem to have some aggressive "noise removal" applied to your audio. It mutes the sound of the keys right after you press the key, cutting off any reverb or other sounds that distinguish one keyboard from another.
Thanks for this. Very clearly explained After this video, my prefs go for K3 because it looks a little bit smaller and silent, although both look great
Amazing video man! First video of this channel i've watched, and gotta say it was better than most keyboard review videos our there! Can see you did your research, and also thanks for the thorough sound tests :P You got a new sub from South Africa :D
I got the K3 V2 yesterday after a long wait with the stocks being out for so long. Worth the wait 💯 Amazing keyboard. The V2 with the palm rest is an amazing typing experience. Will be my go-to for a while now
just got my Keychron K3 with red switches today. So far I love it ... My only issue is I'd love to switch the keycaps. I did however mod the WASD keys with some mouse grip tape for gaming purposes.
Really wanted to go for the nuphy, however as far as I'm aware they didnt ship to Norway, nor did they have a nordic layout available and lastly if I really wanted it toll fees would probably be tremendous. The k3 however was sold at a Norwegian tech store so I bought it there. Amazing keyboard compared to my last one
Nuphy is built like a tank and has that THOCC sound even with low profile case. I bought mine in October 2021 and it still going solid. The best part is that they have smart feet that allows you to put it on top of laptop and it snaps right on top of it.
They both USB-C connectors or aviator style? I really like the colourway of the AIR75, just wish it didn't have that big top bezel 😏 also would have loved if the keys had transparent lettering to really show off that RGB. All of that aside I still think I'd go for the AIR75, really like the much bigger battery too. Great review my man 👌🏼
@@EnforcerMan Cheers for clarification my dude. A nice orange or yellow coiled cable would look absolutely sick and really compliment the colourway. Your review has made me do some research on the AIR75 and now really considering grabbing one 👌🏼 You got an amazon referral link or anything I can use to give you a little kickback and some thanks! Really appreciated this review my man. Thanks.
can you do another comparison between the two reviewed here VS the new logitech mx mechanical mini? dying to know how they fare against each other .. awesome review btw .. love it
Thank you for the feedback... that's actually a great recommendation. I'll add it to my list (which means it could take 2-3 months due to my backlog of product reviews)
If Nuphy AIR75 would have transparent caps so that the light would shine through the lettering, I would have already bought it. Until they have actual LED backlighting that shows the key symbols, it's a deal breaker for me.
Excellent. It’s overwhelming how many mechanical keyboards have flooded the market, and given how much waste the world is facing. How many extra buttons n switches folks accumulate to mod their $67 d keyboards. I just ordered a Mac studio so I wanna get a cool travel monitor, and mechanical keyboard to utilize mostly for music, but work as well. I was turned off by the Nuphy when I was about to order it, and saw that it was $24.99 to ship the keyboard to Asheville, NC. I realize their made in China, but their based in Montana. Truth b told 98%. Of em are probably made in China. End of the day is it really worth it? There’s unfortunately no store to take these buggers for a ride. RK84 is on my radar. Morkibo looks interesting, and then I go down the switch n key rabbit hole, but this one looks so 1962 vintage. Haha. Great video.
Why is the Nuphy keys not white on black background with transparent characters ? The K3 way in this regard is so much smarter. How is it possible we are forced to a colorscheme by Nuphy ?
I ordered one last week, but sadly I don't even have a tracking number yet after 6 days. The website said it's supposed to ship within 1-3 days..... I sent them an email with no answer yet. I also ordered a keychron K1 a while ago, everything went as it was described on their site. I hope this NuPhy is a serious company and will deliver a good product.
NePhy would beat Keychron if they had shine through key caps. But *with opaque keys what is the purpose of RGB behind the keys?* That is absurd! I got myself Keychron K7 and happily typing this post away on my grey shine through keys 😊
@@Stoic_Rational_Buddhist Not as interested anymore, I ended up going with the Nuphy Air75 to avoid waiting several months for a keyboard. No complaints so far aside from having to get used to slightly wider keys than my laptop.
Have both keyboards. Air75 looks and feels more premium but for some reason i love using the keychronk3v2 more. Since ive had it it hasn’t left my desk. Shouldn’t have bought the air75
Out of curiosity, what about the Air75 is not so appealing (feature and feel wise) vs the K3V2? If you didn't have the K3V2 would you still like the Air75? (I'm thinking of getting the Air75 and the main reason I'm not really looking into the K3 is because I need the 2.4 receiver)
I really wish the Nuphy came with shine through key caps, i tried 3 different keychrons they did not do very well with the bluetooth connection, always waiting for it to "wake up" . Nuphy looked solid but then i found out the keycaps are not shine through. I finally found one i love, the rk royal kludge rk84 pro. I chose the clicky blue switches, it has zero latency. Keyboard can be sitting for hours and press a key it instantly types, no wake up time. thats with the included 2.4 ghz dongle, i think the 2.4 ghz is much stronger connection than bluetooth. Its so nice to type on i just typed this long ass comment lol
I'm trying to find a keyboard which is: full size, uses brown switches and is low profile. I found one years ago and it's hands down the best keyboard in this multiverse. I cannot use anything else since that but they stopped making that keyboard so I'm desperately trying to find similar one but seems nobody is making those. Any ideas?
Hi. Are you aware of any 75% options on the market that do NOT include the silly and useless OS keys (windoze/mac) between CTRL and ALT? Thanks for any leads.
The K3 has more spacing between keys than most mechanical keyboards and I felt arthritis like pain developing when I used it. I wound up with a Nuphy 60 as a travel keyboard. I also have a 75 that I plan on selling. I personally would prefer an Air75 with the top row removed.
I made the mistake of buying a Keychron K7. What I received was NOT wireless (no dongle included) and, when connected by USB cable, many keys did not work. Keychron ignored all my requests for an RMA and a refund. Before buying anything from Keychron, think! Do you want to give your money to a company that treats its customers this way?
I don’t understand what’s the point of backlit keyboard with non shine through keys… that’s one thing i hate about the nuphy… otherwise i like everything about it
Keychron feels so damn cheap. I Just bought a Halo 75 off offer up and it feels incredible, substantial, and a bit sexier. Returning the keychron to amazon asap
Hey! Very nice comparison. I was looking exactly for this. I have to say I like keychron design more. But what's holding me back from buying it is problem with bluetooth. I've read few reviews about k3 and it seems it is pretty frequent problem. Have you noticed any connection issues with k3? Thanks for awesome work!
Thanks for the feedback meet. The K3 is not my daily driver but during the test I did not notice any Bluetooth issues. Since then I have reviewed another keyboard that I personally really really like but it’s out of bed of a higher price point. Have you seen my NJ80 video?
@@EnforcerMan Thank you for response. It's interesting, someone literally doesn't have any issues with it but someone does. I am curious what is causing it. I haven't seen the video yet. I will watch it immediately.
@@EnforcerMan So I've watched your NJ80 video. Keyboard looks nice and solid, but I am looking more for low profile keyboard. So I think I will go for the Nuphy air. Thank you again for your awesome work! Subscribed
Not K3, but I've used the keychron k8, and I've gotta say, the bluetooth is sluggish af. It usually takes a few seconds to connect. On the other hand, nuphy's bluetooth connection is excellent so far. Even if it doesn't connect after turning it on, press 2 buttons & connects instantly.
@@damnfreakingsien Thank you a lot for sharing your experience. I've already ordered Nuphy and I should have it this week. I have to say that more I looked at Nuphy the more I liked their design... and connection is obviously basic feature in wireless keyboard, so buying keychron doesn't make sense yet imo. They have to fix it.
Great video! Thanks for the review! I want to get a nuphy after watching this! Do you know if keychron optical switches are compatible with nuphy? If they both can use gateron LP mechanical, i assume yes?
@@EnforcerMan There's no mention of a UK layout option on their site. I've also read in several places that they don't make one, which rules out this keyboard.
Sounds stupid but I would like to ask... Is there any chance to find the keycaps of Nuphy and change on K3 v2 ? I really like the colors of Nuphy, but I already have the K3.
I see a lot of complaints about Bluetooth on Keychron devices, but what I don't see is what dongles, laptops or setting they are using. I say this because I do not have the same experience, BT is perfect on my K3 V2 with TP-Link dongle on my Windows desktop. That makes me think the problem is more the user or setup and not the device. I wish people would give examples of what BT dongle they are using if on a desktop computer, or what laptop they are using, or if they know how to adjust settings within the systems they are using. It can't be the hardware if its fine for some and not for others.
I own the k3 - i think the air 75 looks better in my opinion. Things i hate on the k3 are the function buttons dont work in linux (out the box - you can fix the issue but its a pain) and the first rgb lighting mode when you plug it in is some crazy annoying animated one. I unplug my keyboard a lot so its a pain to have to turn it off everytime
the k3 takes ridiculously long to connect and misses keys sometimes but maybe that is when the battery is low. the connection time is a joke. for the amount of money that it costs it is unacceptable. this can't be called the best. maybe best looking but that is about it. plus, you can barely see the rgb lighting. it steps down in brightness when it is not connected but you can use a trick to bring it up, press fn+end and you have some static bright colors. or white. but still...
I can't believe you spent ten minutes talking about these keyboards and didn't even mention how they were to type on! Did you find one easier to type on than the other? Did you make more or less mistakes with one rather than the other? Which one was more satisfying to type on? These are the most important aspects of a keyboard rather than how it sounds or what size battery it has.
@@rogimx I got the Keychron K3 Pro which is also disappointing: the keys are larger than the K3 (good) but the keys are less clicky and the backlight is also kinda useless. Actually better off sticking with my old K3 😞

The keys on the Air75 are closely packed together. Is there likelihood of pressing the wrong keys?
yes. I am kind of regretting buying it for the typing inaccuracy. Apart from this, everything else is great.
If Nuphy AIR75 would have transparent caps so that the light would shine through the lettering, I would have already bought it. Until they have actual LED backlighting that shows the key symbols, it's a deal breaker for me.

Can you use Nuphy Air 75 keycaps for Keychron K3v2?
Could you switch up the keycaps from K3 and add it to the Air 75??
Hi. Are you aware of any 75% options on the market that do NOT include the silly and useless OS keys (windoze/mac) between CTRL and ALT? Thanks for any leads.
They are modifiers super useful in linux as well.
The K3 has more spacing between keys than most mechanical keyboards and I felt arthritis like pain developing when I used it. I wound up with a Nuphy 60 as a travel keyboard. I also have a 75 that I plan on selling. I personally would prefer an Air75 with the top row removed.
keychron looks better imo. just wish they had more colorful keycaps
I don't like how close the keys are to each other on the nuphy
do either of these keyboards have a scroll lock button?
Can you use the folio with the Keychron? Likes, does the K3 fit in it? I have the K3v2, & I've been looking for a case for it.
Keychron sells their own cases if you want to look into that
I made the mistake of buying a Keychron K7. What I received was NOT wireless (no dongle included) and, when connected by USB cable, many keys did not work. Keychron ignored all my requests for an RMA and a refund.
Before buying anything from Keychron, think! Do you want to give your money to a company that treats its customers this way?
The Air75 is $109.95 and the K3 is $74.00, so I would argue that cost is definitely a factor.
That’s the base model price (not RGB and not hot swappable)… I think if you add both you’re at $94 (for version 1)
Please, compare them (especially the Nuphy) with the new Logitech MX Mechanical
It may be a while mate. I have over 2 months long back log of products to review but I’ll certainly consider. Thanks for the recommendation

Great video! Thanks for the review! I want to get a nuphy after watching this! Do you know if keychron optical switches are compatible with nuphy? If they both can use gateron LP mechanical, i assume yes?
Does the Nuphy Air75 have the option of a UK layout?
No that I'm aware of... check their site see if you can find some information. and let us know if they do :)
@@EnforcerMan There's no mention of a UK layout option on their site. I've also read in several places that they don't make one, which rules out this keyboard.
Sounds stupid but I would like to ask...
Is there any chance to find the keycaps of Nuphy and change on K3 v2 ?
I really like the colors of Nuphy, but I already have the K3.
Tenkeyless, low profile keys, blue Gateron switches, white light. To me this is the perfect setup for typists who enjoy hearing themselves type.
Is it possible to interchange these keyboard switches..for example the nuphy using optical keychron switches?
from what i know keychron opticals are proprietary and not interchangeable because they aren't mechanical
So helpful thank you. Can you suggest for typing accuracy which is better?
You got it! I personally haven’t had any issues but some have reported BT issues with older keychain keyboards… so to be safe may be go with nuphy
@@EnforcerMan sorry I mean like in terms of missed presses/typos
I see a lot of complaints about Bluetooth on Keychron devices, but what I don't see is what dongles, laptops or setting they are using. I say this because I do not have the same experience, BT is perfect on my K3 V2 with TP-Link dongle on my Windows desktop. That makes me think the problem is more the user or setup and not the device. I wish people would give examples of what BT dongle they are using if on a desktop computer, or what laptop they are using, or if they know how to adjust settings within the systems they are using. It can't be the hardware if its fine for some and not for others.
Agreed k3 bluetooth works flawlessly on surface pro. You don't even have to think about it.
but how do you make your beard shape so perfect?? 😭
But the same one NON-MECHANICAL ?
Loved the video but it doesn’t matter anymore, air 75 isn’t even available, asked them when it will, stated unknown 🤷🏻♂️
I own the k3 - i think the air 75 looks better in my opinion. Things i hate on the k3 are the function buttons dont work in linux (out the box - you can fix the issue but its a pain) and the first rgb lighting mode when you plug it in is some crazy annoying animated one. I unplug my keyboard a lot so its a pain to have to turn it off everytime
When is nuphy 60 coming out ?
Hi.
Can i swap Nuphy keycaps to keychron? Does it fit?
the k3 takes ridiculously long to connect and misses keys sometimes but maybe that is when the battery is low. the connection time is a joke. for the amount of money that it costs it is unacceptable. this can't be called the best. maybe best looking but that is about it. plus, you can barely see the rgb lighting. it steps down in brightness when it is not connected but you can use a trick to bring it up, press fn+end and you have some static bright colors. or white. but still...
Battery Life?
Easy choice. Only one comes in ISO layout.
I can't believe you spent ten minutes talking about these keyboards and didn't even mention how they were to type on! Did you find one easier to type on than the other? Did you make more or less mistakes with one rather than the other? Which one was more satisfying to type on? These are the most important aspects of a keyboard rather than how it sounds or what size battery it has.
خوب بود. تشکر.
دمت گرم. مرسی
The Air75 does not come with the case unless you're getting it as a combo purchase.
has anyone used any of them with Ubuntu?
Air 75 will bin becuase of how the keycaps look, the color scheme and the frame. The difference is clear!
Nuphy should have shipped the keyboard with their nsa shine through keycaps.
Backlight on the Air75 is kinda useless and a dealbreaker for me, even though it’s nicer in other areas.
I agree. I just bought mine and it was the thing I got disappointed at. I have no idea why they did this. Like you said it’s just useless.
@@rogimx I got the Keychron K3 Pro which is also disappointing: the keys are larger than the K3 (good) but the keys are less clicky and the backlight is also kinda useless. Actually better off sticking with my old K3 😞
Are there any other lowrise 75% keyboards that compete with these two? This is all I've been able to find
I have this one also: www.hexgears.org/products/x-1-mechanical-keyboard
@@EnforcerMan those look nice but they're not quite 75% keyboards right
and everyone who reads this comment better sub to this guy cause he’s great and underrated, he’s gonna grow big this year, im calling it
Thanks mate 👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼 appreciate the support
