NuPhy Unveils Air75 V3: A Sleek Mechanical Keyboard for Mac Users
NuPhy has announced the launch of its latest product, the Air75 V3, a low-profile mechanical keyboard designed with an emphasis on aesthetics and functionality for Mac users. This third generation of the Air series features a 75% ANSI layout with 83 keys, making it a compact yet versatile option for both work and leisure.
With a sleek design that includes a 220-grit anodized finish, the Air75 V3 presents a sophisticated appearance that aligns well with the minimalist style favored by many Mac users. Measuring just 13.2mm thick, it is lightweight and portable, making it easy to carry alongside a MacBook without adding unnecessary bulk.
One of the standout features of the Air75 V3 is its hardware switch that allows users to toggle between Windows and Mac layouts effortlessly. This approach simplifies the transition for users who may work across different operating systems. The package includes modifier keycaps for both platforms, enhancing its adaptability.
Innovative Features and Customization
The Air75 V3 introduces several innovative enhancements over its predecessor. Notably, it boasts a programmable rotary knob that can function as a volume control or be customized for other uses. The keyboard’s switches, available in three varieties—Blush Nano, Brown Nano, and Red Nano—offer a satisfying typing experience with a travel distance of 3.5mm. These switches are hot-swappable, allowing users to change them out easily.
The newly designed battery has a capacity of 4,000mAh, enabling the keyboard to operate for up to 1,200 hours without RGB backlighting. This significant increase in battery life, compared to the previous model, reduces the need for frequent recharging and enhances portability.
To cater to diverse typing preferences, the Air75 V3 features a variable typing angle with adjustable kickstand legs, allowing slopes of 4, 8, or 10 degrees. This adaptability is accompanied by a full row of function and multimedia keys that enhance its usability.
Connectivity and Customization Options
The NuPhy Air75 V3 offers multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth that can connect to up to three devices simultaneously, a 2.4GHz wireless connection for lower latency, and a USB-C port for direct connection and charging. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for users who require flexibility in their setups.
Additional features include customizable multi-segment LEDs, which provide battery status and key lock indicators. For those looking to personalize their experience further, NuPhy has developed a web-based configurator. This tool allows users to remap keys easily through compatible browsers, such as Google Chrome, using a simple drag-and-drop interface.
The NuPhy Air75 V3 is now available for purchase on the NuPhy website at a price of $139. With its combination of style, functionality, and user-friendly features, the Air75 V3 positions itself as a compelling option for those seeking a modern mechanical keyboard tailored to complement Apple’s design ethos.
