NuPhy - Air96 V2

Been using the Nuphy Air96 V2 and it lets me switch between my Mini, dell work desktop, and iPad.

IMO the best low profile keyboards are Nuphy Air series, Lofree Flow (lite), Iquinix MQ80 (I would go for for the MQ80).

I have few from keychron and nuphy - all low-profile. I use them everyday home/office/livingroom and I do not even prefer one over the other, all of those are in ANSI layout and this is my preference, got the red switches for, like how tactile those are. I also have Logi MX keys but in local layot and just because of it I do not like it, other than that it is also fine. As for connection - I have the dedicated adapter, BT and cable, depending on the setup - I see no difference in response times while typing or gaming. As for RGB - I apriciate it only in livingroom while watching movies. Oter than that I do not care, I do not look on the keyboard while typing. From wow side - nuphy is much more eye-catching, I got many positive comments about it while using in the office. If you configure something - make sure to have the shine-through key caps, the "behing keys" backlight is rubbish. For config, VIA software - whatever - I never cared about it, function lock was always there, never needed anything more. Except for nuphy v2 - I had to set it,as was F keys by default, but easily done with browser plugin and VIA software, I think it is unified. If you need macros etc - all is linux compatible (except logi - this I have no idea), As for your question: "The best Gaming Keyboard to buy for Gamers now?" I nmy opinion there is nothing like "gaming keyboard". Keyboards can be good or bad. Good keyboard is good for gaming and typing, bad is bad for everything xD

I don't think that fits in your criteria in term of switch and/or size but I had a Nuphy wireless before and it worked with no issue at all (although the battery on it isn't great, had to charge it like every week, sometimes more). I've switched to an 8bitdo keyboard now, same, works no issue out of the box but this one has a beast of a battery...I think I've charged it maybe 4 times? And I bought it in october last year.

Yeah for sure. It's very disheartening that I can't change the switches out on the K2. The Nuphy Air is gonna be my first low profile though, I'm nervous about it.

For 99.9% of people it doesn't matter at all. Someone may feel cooler when their keys have a certain look, typing feel, or sound, but none of it is going to have any meaningful impact on gaming regardless of what the marketing wants you to believe. The main appeal with modern keyboards is their insane levels of customization - you can get whatever you want and replace switches on a whim if you want to. If you want the flat laptop style keys I'd suggest looking into something like a Keychron K1 low profile or the Nuphy Air series and branch off from there as you figure out your preferences.

how did you like the nuphy air? got one recently and can't stand it

I've tried nuphy air (nope; couldn't stand the loud slickly switches and typing experience was terrible for me) so I returned it. I have and love the lofree lite. I know you're interested in the flow but I really do like the lofree keyboard; it's such a great typing experience, I changed the keycaps to the nuphy coast twilight and it made the typing experience even better, sounds extra creamy (which I love) and I liked this keyboard so much I went and ordered the 100 in a different colour.

MX keys mechanical is good if you want a low profile board. I tried nuphy and really wanted to like it but it wasn’t for me. Still would recommend, it was very high quality and a very nice keyboard, we just weren’t a match. My daily drivers now are a royal kludge S98 for my work computer, and their southpaw version L98 for my personal computer. The pros are it was the only mechanical southpaw I could find that was reasonably priced, cons are that it doesn’t play well with Mac’s.

For typing feel exclusively, the best is lofree flow. I am selling my Nuphy because of this despite the flaws with lofree.

I think the Bluetooth connection isn’t great. That’s the major downfall and takes a while to wake up. So I end up having it wired the entire time and that’s fine for me. I still think it’s great. If you want a better overall version except it’s not aluminum then the kickstarter lite version is the one you should get.
