Will there be special discountsnfor black friday?

Thanks! I hope it’s helped you make up your mind 👍

Thanks for the feedback - I’ll make sure to keep that moving forward.

I tried the MX Mechanical Mini and hated it, returned it immediately. The keycaps started to shine almost the second I first typed on them, the quality of them is simple awful + the tactile switches were horribly brittle and overly clacky to type on. You are paying £150 for a mini keyboard that has great connectivity and battery life with literally nothing else. I built my own custom (although not mini) keyboard for about £180 and it is 10x better to type on.

Thanks, I’m really glad you think so

Wrong

May I know which kind of switch did you bought for Flow?

What are your thoughts on the v2 versus the lofree?

@flarierza33 I enjoy my v2 a lot but for different reasons to the flow. V2 is better for gaming for sure and the switches seem quicker than the linears on the lofree. Lofree still offers the better sound, more creamy compared to v2. I really only use the flow to hear it haha otherwise the v2 does everything I need it to.

Hey thanks for replying. What switches did you get with your nuphy? Red/brown/blue or one of their customised ones? ​@@echo021

I just started researching last week and made the exact same purchase today. Keyboard brothers.

@@alexbowe2316 Nice 👍 I got the notification that mine shipped yesterday

Wow, I just did research and bought the V2 also. I’ve been using the Corsair strafe for six years.

Bought it today as well. I have basically never used such keyboard before other than a laptop keyboard. Done.a ton of research and apparently the NuPhy one seems the way to go, especially if you're used to low profile like I am. Pretty excited to receive it. Let me know how you like it?

How has your experience been with brown switches? I ordered mine today with cowberry switches hoping its thocky and quiet

That would be best, unfortunately, the switches weren’t compatible between all of them 👍

Thanks for sharing your experience with the K3 - I’ll be interested to know what you think of the AirV2 once you get it 👍

What's stopping you from remapping this key using VIA? Or are you talking about regular, non pro K3?

That’s a fair point about the travel range of low-profile keyboards. Something I suspect you’ll run into with most, so ya, I would recommend trying a higher profile keyboard rather than a low-profile one. More options in the high-profile category as well (from these brands and others) ✌️

Thanks, ya - I tried to get the tactile NuPhy switches, but they weren’t available at the time. I’d love to try them, but the Kailh Phantoms in the Flow are pretty awesome TBH - I wish they had more standardized pins to be able to swap for a head-to-head comparison ✌️

Thanks for sharing your experience and insights regarding the keyboard positioning 👍

Never use a keyboard protector on a MacBook. It will eventually crack your screen when you close the lid.

The Air V2 is definitely louder. I kept the gain equal for both in the video, so you should be able to get an estimate of their relative sounds levels in the demo part 👍

I have cowberry switches with the air v2 and they are far, far quieter than the clackity daisy switches demonstrated in the video.

@AaronCyni thanks for sharing your experience with the Cowberry ones 👍 I want to try those too at some point.

​@@JakeReevesVideohi, could you tell me which switches in the air75 v2 are the quietest?

@user-co8ts9rc1n I haven’t tried them all, so I can’t comment on the switches they offer directly, but - generally speaking it will likely be one of the linear switches ✌️

Also check out the new LoFree Edge - it’s a bit different again, but includes the QMK customization that you want ✌🏻

@@JakeReevesVideo Thank you!! I would definitely contribute to it, but, unfortunately, I live in the most sanctioned country of the world, so there's no way for me 😞

I use Macs and haven’t experienced problems with any of these and Macs.

This is the one I’m using: amzn.to/3RPMOj0

I think a big consideration has been the move to PBT keycaps rather than ABS ones. It can be tough to find PBT shinethrough keycaps. This subreddit goes into more detail about it (www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/yoe3dw/why_is_it_so_hard_to_find_pbt_shine_through/) but I agree, it would be nice to have the option for some shinethroughs as a configuration choice during the checkout 👍

Wired, all would be similar, but only the Air75 V2 polls at 1000Hz over RF. It also has the wider selection of compatible switches ✌️

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and recommendations - I would second those suggestions 👍

All would be about equal in this sense because they have the same standard key spacing.

I'd say the Lofree layout of Home, End etc are in the correct positions. You can also remap them with Windows Powertoys if you want.

@@thecat4272 the main thing about remapping with QMK/VIA is that the mapping is stored on the keyboard itself. I’m using two laptops with the same peripherals and don’t want to keep their settings in sync manually

They all use switches with the same stems, so they are all compatible with the same keycaps. While the NuPhy may be the only one that offers shine-through keycaps from the same store, they can all use them.

Keychron also has shine through keycaps, but they sound worse than the ones from nuphy.

Yes, both have a perpendicular pin orientation so the low-profile switches from NuPhy should fit the Keychron (and the same in reverse) ✌🏻

What kind of O-rings would fit around the nuphy’s non-circular switch stems?

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion 👍

Same in Canary Islands…

I’ll look into it - thanks for letting me know

I spoke with the company and it should be working now 👍

I find the NuPhy aesthetic is more polarizing too (bright colours, etc) but do prefer the NuPhy build quality - what was it that attracted you to the build of Keychron?

@@JakeReevesVideo it feels like the case seemed to be of higher quality, not so squeaky to be honest, I don't like the assembly of NuPhy keyboards at all, the keycaps also sometimes stand unevenly, sometimes asymmetrically, there is a feeling that I have a non-final product in front of me which is weird to say. I bought myself two Nuphy keyboards and returned them both Air and Halo series.

@dmitrylaktionov9808 interesting - I’ve had the opposite experience. Perhaps a QC issue then

@@dmitrylaktionov If anything, it is the Keychron which feels cheap and makes weird noises when pressed in certain spots near top bezel.

Close… Ontario

ohh i didnt know they gave out the cult metal ring over there too (unless its just a really similar pinky ring XD)@@JakeReevesVideo

@ms-yl7qp it’s an engineer thing all across Canada.

It’s also 400 cad

The Flow’s sound is significantly better and it more than makes up for the other short comings… for me. I don’t remap keys, I’m fine with plugging in once a week, I don’t use backlighting and I hate steep typing angles. I will concede that no 2.4 ghz kinda stinks. Other than that, I’m team Lofree.

Lofree Flow is the winner for me. Buttery smooth typing action on the linear switches which is the main function of a keyboard. The Nuphy switches are rattly and cheap in comparison.

@@DMCnMEI thought flow sounded better too even tho I like thocc more than clak. Interestingly Lofrees true selling point is that it’s gasket mount for people who really don’t like firm boards. Keychron’s S1 board is low profile and all aluminum just like Lofree, whereas Nuphy is aluminum top but plastic bottom. I think there was a conscious design decision to go slight transparent plastic to see lighting on bottom/slide. Are you sure the nuphy switches are rattly and cheap? They have gateron v2 linears and two more linears of their own OEM modifying the gateron design. Never heard anyone describe them as “cheap” or rattly though I imagine all of the switches in all of these boards are by definition “cheap” 😂 for their manufacturers Lofree is Kailh clones, which again I find clacky but not buttery like gateron. Have you tested both? Just curious. Nuphy is not a cheap brand and definitely offers a lot more quality than a brand like Logitech’s G915-those are definitely the definition of cheap keycaps and cherry low profile clones at an absorbent mark up ($250 starting) no hot swap ability or QMK/VIA, no official keycap customization.

​@@Stinger913 exorbitant

At least he didn't grow up in a dark cave, like you.

@@Kaylas1821 yeah we learned how to properly type in there… That’s why cave dwellers are the good keyboard reviewers.

@@warpathh sadly there is no correlation between quality of the review and personal preference/habits. Living both in a cave and imaginary world. Sadge.

@@Kaylas1821 you’re clueless and inarticulate.

🤣

That's a worse recommendation, if I want a membrane keyboard I would have just used my fcking built in laptop keyboard. All 3 keyboard above are mechanical and a much better option than a membrane. Plus its hot swappable meaning if you don't like the key then switch it out with other options in the market. The swappable option will last longer than the membrane plus you will save more if for example only 1 key is defective since you'll only replace that specific key rather than buying a whole new keyboard that a membrane keyboard would do.

Why would anyone trust somebody who straight up lies just right after that?
