Recently bought Air96 v2 with Red 2.0 switches. I like the profile. Really liking it! I've also used Flow2. It was equally comparative. I use Air96 v2 for gaming and work.

if you wanna keep the low profile nuphy air96 v2, you can get silent switches to put in. Its not hard at all to swap out switches and takes like 3 minutes. my keyboard is silent unless you slam on it.

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

Point still stands, your preference is fine but saying the travel time impacts your gameplay is kinda ridiculous. Just say like I prefer low profile and membrane no one will complain about that ^^ if it's like optimum speed you want it's gonna be a HE keyboard even though I don't think the differenc

I found some options but I can't tell you if they are good or not. The features you look for in a keyboard are basically all the exact opposite of what I want from one :D. Lofree Lite100 NuPhy Air96 v2 Neither of these have a screen. The low profile+full size combo alone is not very common. Personal

Finding a true 100% low profile is tough, i feel you. Besides the Keychron K5 you mentioned, check out the NuPhy Air96 V2 - it's 96% but closer to full size than the 100-key ones. If you really need the numpad, the Logitech G915 is full size and low profile but pricier. Honestly the Keychron is prob

Decided to give mechanical keyboards a try. I just wanted to get more opinions since everytime I found something I might like there are tons of negative reviews. I am liking the the Nuphy Air96 V2 Aloe and Keychron K5 Max Banana for it's low profile keys and numpad. Can anyone help me decide which o

Adding onto u/amynias comment, maybe also try a lower profile keyboard. e.g. NuPhy Air96 V2 Low-profile Mechanical Keyboard. Ducky One 2 Mini is taller (~3.8–3.9 cm) compared to the NuPhy low-profile (~1.8 cm). Aloe switches have the lowest actuation force of 37 grams.
