NuPhy Air75 three-mode low-axis mechanical keyboard evaluation: multi-mode, beautiful, light

Small-sized mechanical keyboards have emerged in an endless stream in the past two years, and the layouts of 40, 64, 68, 75, and 84 have also been continuously introduced. The combination of various styles and designs has also brought more choices for users. In order to further reduce the space occupied by the keyboard, many manufacturers have also set their sights on the short shaft, which is a branch of the shaft body, hoping to not only bring users the functional requirements that meet daily needs, but also have a smaller and lighter size. , so that users can easily carry it when they go out. Recently, we received a low-axis mechanical keyboard with a 75% configuration from NuPhy, which provides a three-mode connection solution and key adaptation for the MAC system.
