NuPhy - Air96 V2

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

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.

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.

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.
