What is going on, everybody?
It is, Mike, welcome back to Tech 24-7 TV,
I'm glad that you're back with me today.
I've got a keyboard here that I've been waiting for for
a long time.
This is the NuPhy I'm not really sure how
you pronounce it.
Air 75, but this is a mechanical keyboard that I am
interested in finding out how good it works and how
clickety-clack it is because I am a lover of keyboards.
Unfortunately, if you ask my wife.
We are going to unbox it, tell you whether or not it's
worth the $110 that it costs.
Let's get started.
All right.
So this keyboard again, the Air 75.
I bought it on Instagram.
You can buy directly from Nuphy for $110, and I'll leave links
to the product down in the video description below.
It is available on Amazon in limited quantities,
but let's see here.
So is low delay, low profile, lightweight 75 percent layout.
So it's not a full keyboard.
Now I'm using this to replace my Full-Size Magic Keyboard
with Touch ID, and I really don't use or don't need,
excuse me, the Touch ID because I'm using a new MacBook with
the Touch ID built into it.
So it would be nice, but I think it's not necessarily a
requirement to have now.
Honestly, I've never used a mechanical keyboard.
I don't know what it's like, but hopefully, it's everything
that the internet says it's going to be.
Now, since the mechanical keyboard, can be
configured with three different types of switches.
I chose brown switches, but red and blue are also available.
I went with brown switches like I mentioned because it seemed
like to be the best of both worlds.
It's not super-clickity clack and not super.
It won't be super quiet either.
Now, few know who this is on here.
You let me know down the comments below because I don't
know who that person is, but she looks like she likes to
use keyboards because she's got some switches around here
on her outfit.
Looks kind of cool.
Give instruction manual and some more stickers.
Looks really cool.
Nicely presented.
And let's put that here.
And what else is in the box?
We have a USB-C to USB-A charging cable.
This gets USB 2.0.
We have some additional switches and a USB receiver.
Some keycaps
and I think is a key removal tool.
So that is what's in the box.
And I also have a carrying case.
Now, the reason because I want to use this with my iPad mini
and this is one of the few keyboards I was able to find
that charges over USB-C because I don't want to hear any more
cables with me.
Wow, that is really nice.
I like the color.
That is a beautiful-looking keyboard if I do say
so myself.
So it's well-designed.
Let's see here.
Oh my god, it sounds amazing.
I think I'm in love.
Oh wow, that really sounds nice.
Let's take a look here.
So we have Windows or Mac, so there's the buttons here.
So it's is you can use it with both a windows or a PC,
which is good because I do have a PC that I use for work off
wired and wireless.
Even the nice design touch here, which is going to
be the USB-C charger.
While this looks really nice, I love the colors on this.
It looks really nice.
Well,
I really love the colors on this, but let's compare how
it sounds in comparison to the Magic Keyboard.
Now, there's certainly a difference between the typing
experience of the air 75 versus the Magic Keyboard, which is
expected right because this has a certain switch in there and
that switch keeps typing experience, the typing
experience itself lends to being a little bit louder,
a little bit chattier than I would say that on a shallower
magic keyboard 2.
.
Different strokes for different folks.
I like it, but let me know which one you like better down
in the comments below.
Oh, I look at the back thinking of this nice chrome plate on
there that says, who makes it obviously and the
model no input.
Oh wow, this is really nice.
I still have it on off duty.
Near the top.
There are two sidelights, on the left hand and the top
right hand side next in the escape and that alecky and the
left hand side it communicates whether you have caps lock
enabled and whether you're using wireless or wired
connection and on the right hand side is going to show a
three stage battery indicator.
Wow.
It's a poster, oh my gosh.
I'm the person who can get used to typing on a keyboard in
about 15 to 20 minutes.
And right now I'm doing horribly.
Oh, yes.
Let's hear 36 per words per minute, wow,
that is pretty slow.
Worth a try that will give it another take retake test 54.
So it's getting better.
I think it's just me having to use this now.
What are these other keys do now ?
Looking at this keyboard, there is a full row of function
keys at the very top, and these function keys are going to work
exactly as you would expect.
Whether you're using them on a Mac, they do work on the
iPad as well.
I can't test them on my Windows machine because my Windows
machine is not working at this moment, but these work
exactly as expected, and there are two special keys here for
copy and paste.
In that top row, we have copy and then paste here,
which looks like I don't know what it looks like to me, but I
don't think it is.
And what's also neat here, if we look at the back
of this, look at the how the RGV lights up the back
of the keyboard.
Now if I change this, it's it's off.
Oh, look at that.
Isn't that neat?
Oh, I think it's so neat.
I've never seen that on a keyboard before.
Now if you have, let me know that in the comments below.
Also, because of this super slim profile where I think it
goes from like 16 up to twenty one millimeters.
There's also they have these photos, which are
magnetic that go right on the the little rubber footing here
on back rising, raising the back edge of the keyboard up.
So I like the contrast on the back of it.
And then I also like the way that it feels when it has
these rubber, these or these risers put on the keyboard.
Now again, I bought this to go with my iPad Mini while I'm out
and about
for a little while.
That's really cool.
It's a nice color.
It's like that simple yellow.
This in here.
Now I will say this video is not sponsored.
I bought this actually buy two of them by mistake.
This is really good looking.
You get that orange, which that's not that color.
It's not that color, either.
But this just a good.
But
when you open this up here going to be on the side like
you might be.
Now the keyboard should fit right here.
But yeah, I got to take the footy's off first because it
raises it up.
And see, there's these indents here where a keyboard is going
to lay and it's going to wrap the keyboard just like so.
So that's how it's going to look.
While it is that now, if I want to open this up, I'm going to
take the keyboard out here.
And if I snip this back, this should allow it to make a
stand for it as well.
And I can use it in this mode, or I could use it in portrait
if I wanted to.
I could throw my phone on here to make it a little dual
display going so to speak or use it just like this.
And this would work with, you know, an iPad,
the iPad Mini, the iPad Pro 11 inch 12.9 inch.
You would work with the 10.2 inch as well, but you now have
this portable, I would say, typing machine, right?
Because you now have this 75 percent keyboard along with
your iPad to use on the go.
I really like this, and this is again the primary reason why I
want to use it because I wanted something that would charge via
USB-C and I didn't have to bring an additional keyboard
with me because that is a pain in the butt.
Now, I don't know about you, but I think this is really cool
to get to my first keyboard.
So I probably a little bit biased there, but I think
it's really cool.
$110 now, depending on where you're watching this video new
is having a sale for Thanksgiving.
I'll put the details of that sale down the comments below.
