If you are like me and you love keyboards, but you're
looking for something maybe a little bit
more clickety-clack, you want to level up your typing game
either in your home office or while you're out and about.
I think I've got something for you.
This is the NuPhy Air60 60, and this is an ultra slim
mechanical keyboard, and I have it here on preview, which I
love to share with you.
Let's get started.
Just so you and I are on the same page in the Air60 that I
have here is provided by NuPhy is a production version.
It's not yet available but will be available soon and I
will leave leave.
Lou Leave links down the description below in case you
want to view details about that.
Now, that NuPhy Air60 is a $110 ultra-slim mechanical keyboard
that is a further iteration from the new F1 and the
Air75, which I own and I did a review and I'll leave a link
here above in case you want to view that.
The keyboard costs one hundred and ten dollars on NuPhy's
website and there are several different ways that you can
configure it, along with having the option to do red, brown or
blue switches in a mind that I have here,
these have brown switches.
We're going to a typing test in a few minutes so you can get a
feel and hear what the differences are.
This is a 60 percent layout keyboard that's
available for Windows.
It's available for Mac.
It does have three different
connectivity options.
You can use wired, wireless or corded.
You can Bluetooth pair this keyboard up to three
different devices, either using Bluetooth 2.4 or Bluetooth 5.0
and then you have the additional option of using the
included two-point four gigahertz receiver.
Now, the keyboard is made from all machined aluminum,
meaning it's got high quality.
You shouldn't actually have any flex in it.
In the bottom of it is a translucent color
allowing the RGB, which I think there are like 20 different
patterns to shine through.
The bottom gives it a nice, cool look.
Under the back plate is a two thousand five hundred milliamp
hour battery,
NuPhy says that you'll get about 48 hours worth of usage
time out of this keyboard.
In my experience, I leave the keyboard on most of the day
when I'm using it, when I'm not using it, I do shut it off and
I've had a number of days where the standby I think I'm right
now at seven days where the standby.
Now the twenty five hundred million battery does charge via
USB-C and there's a USB-C plug right here on the bottom.
So it's perfect for people.
If you have an iPad and you want to be able to charge this
using the same cable that you charge your iPad with as well,
I do power off at night, which it does have to
extend the battery.
There is an auto sleep portion where the device will go into
sleep mode if no inputs are detected after a certain period
of time, but know that if you want to save the most amount of
battery life, you're probably better off to shutting it off.
Now here in the bottom, there are these removable feet
and these actually stick on top of these risers that are
on the bottom.
You would actually want to use these if you were using this
keyboard on top of your MacBook Pro, your 16 inch
MacBook Pro, 14 inch MacBook Pro.
This would rest on the keyboard, and it would make
sure that this does not or is not pressing any of
those keys.
They're magnetic, and there's this little slit that is in
there and you put it on and they're just like that.
Now these keys are hot, swappable, meaning that you
could swap the keys or the switches while there is power
on and connect to your device.
All right, so here we have the Air75, here's the AIr60.
Now if we look at these keys here along the left hand side,
you know there's sidelights, which are exactly the same for
the escape key and the tilde key of can be compressed into
one key here on the Air60.
The rest of these buttons here along the side look to be
about the same.
The space is shifted a little bit to the left and here along
the bottom, the control key is missing.
All right, which makes room for the arrow keys.
And then here along the right hand side, these keys have been
completely eliminated, allowing the arrow keys to move
over to the right or to the left excuse me.
And while eating into the key, I actually think I like the
larger shift key better than the small shift keys.
A little bit easier to type for me.
Let me know what you think down the comments below.
Now that we've seen the preview of the Air60, the question is
do you want to buy the Air60 or the Air75?
I think it really depends on the person in the application
that you're using.
Really, I think it's a size perspective and what you
prefer from, you know, typing layout.
For me, I think I prefer the larger shift keys on the right
hand side of the keyboard opposed to the smaller shift
keys that are about one you in size.
It's just easier for me to type.
I always use a keyboard that had full size shift keys, and I
think this plays into that.
It doesn't really bother me that I won't be able to use it
on top of my MacBook Pro.
But again, it's just an option for you.
It does work that way.
Let me know if you have any questions down in
the comments below.
My name is Mike.
This is tech 24-7 TV, folks.
I will talk to you in the next one.
