Air75 HE Magnetic Switch Gaming Keyboard

If you go with a Hall Effect board (and it’s a solid choice) just make sure to research what magnetic switches the board you are interested in uses. Keychron/Lemokey, HE boards for example, can only use a specific Gateron dual rail switch along with Glorious switches. For me personally, the stock Gateron dual rails are not very pleasing. A spring swap though brings them to life. I enjoy doing that work but you may not. Wooting and any board that uses the same polarity will have the most switch options available. This includes popular switches like Geon Raw and Gateron Jades. I have owned ad Keychron Q1 HE, Wooting 80, Wooting 60, Keychron K2 HE, Maggard 68 Pro and Nuphy 75 Air. The Wooting is the most premium option. As others have said, the software blows all others out of the water. I was really impressed with the Nuphy. It’s a low profile keyboard so different switches / keycaps than the others but it’s a fun board. The software on all the boards I’ve used lets you set actuation per key, rapid trigger, SOCD, dynamic keystroke and macros (plus more). The Wooting is the most intuitive and best for RGB if you care about that. I could not get dynamic keystroke working on the Nuphy but didn’t try after the first day as I replaced it with a macro for what I wanted. The Nuphy and Keychrons you are limited to 3 profiles. Maggard is 4 and the Wooting is unlimited, but only 4 active profiles (all your other profiles are archived within the online software). There’s a database of other Wooting profiles that you can easily copy/paste a code for yourself to utilize that users profile. Finally, I’m pretty sure Keychron boards have gamepad support and I know Wooting definitely does. This would allow you to set keys as controller functions for things like racing games / GTA driving / etc.

I have to say the Air75 HE is a phenomenal board. Feel, fit and finish is excellent. Aluminum top case with a bottom plastic. I can’t lie, I wish it was all metal like an Iqunix but at the same time I need the flip feet with a low profile keyboard. One word of note. I almost didn’t buy this because video reviews I watched said every time you move the keyboard, the flippy feet collapse. I’ve never experience that. I primarily use the small feet but have also tested it with bigger feet and there’s no issue there. Software is almost on par with Wooting and Keychron. The only con is I couldn’t set a Dynamic Keystroke with the Nuphy. I normally map the right side of R4. Instead of Control and Alt on the right side I remap those keys to Win+Tab and either Win+G or Win+x. I can’t remember what I did to make it work but it wound up being super easy. Might’ve been a macro or a different way to combo keys, I cannot recall. Either way it turned out to be fine but if DKS matters to you, I don’t know how well that works. Yes, I bought the berry Oblivion caps after the fact. Someone else here recommended them. They are fine, no complaints. I was hoping the higher profile would help me stop making mistakes in game between hitting Esc when I want ~ but I still make that mistake sometimes. That more from the compact layout and has nothing to do with the board nor the keycap profile itself.

If you want to stick with mechanical keyboards, then you'll want to stick with linear switches, especially silent focused linear switches, and get keyboards with a lot of foam damping. You may also want to get a desk pad because a significant amount of noise from mechanical keyboards is actually the sound reverberating through your desk. NuPhy Air75 / Air96 with red or aloe switches, or Keychron K series with red switches for example are reasonably quiet and around the same price as the G413. Both are low profile mechanical keyboards, which doesn't mean they'll be as low profile as a laptop keyboard, but just lower profile than your average mechanical keyboard. NuPhy also have the Blush switches that are exceptionally quiet. There's also the Chilkey ND104 which with the linear switch option and not using the faux metal caps, is almost entirely silent. But it's also over $200.

I'm going to mess both of you up even more and say if you want something low profile don't look into lofree, instead look into NuPhy, specifically the NuPhy Air 75 (V3 for mechanical ; HE for magnetic), or the new NuPhy Node 75. I have the NuPhy Air 75HE as my primary gaming keyboard and I'm ordering the Node 75 for a general multi purpose keyboard. I'm a huge fan of NuPhy, especially their IO is damn near perfect.

I'm surprised IQUNIX don't offer any *low profile* hall effect switch options. They offer their own in-house X Ultra magnetic switches and also the Gateron Jade Pro switches. The NuPhy Air 75HE uses the low profile version of the Gateron Jade Pro switches. I personally love the Gateron Jade Pro switches, combined with the low profile nSA keycaps, it's been a game changer.

I recently switched from using mechanical to magnetic / hall effect for the first time earlier this year with the NuPhy Air 75HE and it's been a big enough game changer for me that I would recommend for others who are interested in keyboard customization or having a slightly better competitive edge with gameplay. The biggest differences are the customizations with the triggers, you can set and adjust actuation points, rapid trigger, dynamic keystone, etc. I primarily play Fortnite with a ton of keybinds and other 3rd person / first person shooters and I have definitely noticed a difference in my movement and ultra low latency. It's obv not going to make you a better player, but if you are asking about it I would suggest it.

Love my current setup: Nuphy Air 75 HE + Razer Viper V3 Pro

i can give credit Nuphy Air75 he,too. Magnetic switches generally have so much voices

First question to ask is if you want hall effect or not. Standard mechanical switches are what you are used to, but in recent years many gaming keyboards have begun using magnetic switches with analog input. This allows for features like rapid trigger or dynamic keystroke. If you want those extra features, then there are a litany of cheap keyboards out there that have them. However, the software for them is not always great. If you want the best software experience, then get a wooting keyboard. Their software really is the best. I've tried a few others from cheap brands and go back to the wooting for the software. But wooting is super pricey. The best I've found that is nearly as good as the wooting with easy to use, nice looking software is nuphy. The only thing wooting beats them with is the ability to map a controller joystick to wasd, which is nice for racing games. But, nuphy claims to be working on this feature right now. And when they do have it, I'll say it's better than my wooting. The air75 he is also the only low profile magnetic keyboard if you want that. Otherwise, the field75 he is a direct competitor to the wooting 80he for a cheaper price with additional macro keys if you find those useful, since your k95 had them as well.
