RTINGS's top low-profile keyboard. A 75% wireless board with Gateron Low-Profile 3.0 switches in hot-swappable sockets, a gasket mount, a volume knob and 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and USB-C connections.
We may earn a commission.RTINGS bought an Air75 V3 in Nebula Dark with Blush nano switches and named it the best low-profile keyboard it has tested. It found the gasket mount gives a soft, slightly bouncy feel, the internal dampening and Blush switches make it very quiet, and the 3.5 mm switch travel is longer than the Keychron K5 Max's 3.0 mm. The flat nSA keycaps and compact layout may take some getting used to, and the stock keycaps have no shine-through legends.
RTINGS found it connects through its USB receiver or over Bluetooth to up to three devices, with excellent latency and 1000Hz polling wired or on the receiver. After waking from sleep on Bluetooth it saw a 1 to 2 second delay with every input registered. NuPhy lists macOS, Windows, Android and iOS and rates the 4000mAh battery at 60 to 100 hours with all lights on and up to 1200 hours with them off, in its lab.
NuPhy sells the Air V3 in 65%, 75% and 100% sizes; the 75% has a function row and no numpad. NuPhy says it provides a Mac multimedia key layout and a three-stage kickstand.
RTINGS found the PCB hot-swappable with Gateron Low-Profile 3.0 switches and macros assignable to any key in NuPhy's NuPhyIO 2.0 software, which now has an offline client. RTINGS lists shine-through keycaps as an extra-cost option.
