Comparing with my air96v2, I'm liking the node100 layout more, especially for the home/end/pgup/pgdn keys. But why does the air96 still cost more? I think the keys are compatible with the air96 but the slightly different layout will affect the color layout of some sets like Space Engineer.

If you want something that actually fits all your criteria without getting into customs, the NuPhy Air96 V2 is probably your best bet. It's one of the only proper 96% low-profile prebuilts, so it feels close to a laptop, has wireless + USB-C (left rear I think), and stays fairly quiet (especially wi

Are you asking if you can upgrade the v2 to switches (Nano line of switches) that are sold for the v3? No, you cannot. Nano switches / Gateron 3.0 switches use a different pinout. You can use Gateron 2.0 switches, however, so you actually have more options than v3 owners at the moment. Side note: th

Just bought these and installed them on my air96v2 with Wisteria switches and loving them so far. Two things tripped me up. the first how to arrange the alt, code or menu keys for a mac setup and your post helped with that, so thank you. The other think on the Air96 was which caps to use for the hom

I'm using a NuPhy Air96 V2 and a MX Master 3S with my M4 Mac mini. I feel like it's the perfect combo. Everything works smooth as butter. The keyboard and mouse send their battery data to the Mac via Bluetooth, so I can view the battery levels through the battery widget. No delay on any of them.

perhaps the NuPhy Air96 V2? It’s a 96% layout with tri-mode (wired + wireless), works with both Mac and Windows. It’s not the quietest stock, but you can easily swap in quieter switches. Price also drops during sales pretty often, and they sometimes have promo codes too.

i ran into this exact search a few months back. the Keychron Q5 Pro is a solid bet—it's wireless, has a numpad, and the Mac compatibility is seamless with VIA support for programming colors. the south-facing RGB also looks really clean. for something that fits the budget better, the NuPhy Air96 V2 i

It's also my favorite. I've tried so many low profiles including Nuphy Air96 v2 with both Wisteria and Moss switches, Nuphy Node 75 with Blush Nanos, LOFREE Flow 100 with Phantom switches, every Logitech scissor keyboard, Logitech MX Mechanical, Keychron K5 Max with Brown and Brown silents, Satechi

TLDR: If you are willing to trade out the Bluetooth in order to get your keymaps to work properly, build and install the firmware from source using make, following their GitHub's instructions. Only some models and only ANSI. --- Hey, all After almost a year of struggling with this issue on my Air75

Lofree is good but they aren't compatible with android devices. I would check out the Nuphy Air75 v3 or Air96 v2 if you want a numpad.
