| Good for , different | Travelers and tablet users who want a small 65% QMK/VIA users who need a slim board Buyers who want a dongle in a slim board | Mac users and laptop switchers who want a thin mechanical board People who work across several devices Portable setups (598 g) Anyone who wants QMK/VIA in a low-profile board |
| Skip if , different | Typists who need function keys (see the K3 Max) Gamers who want Hall-effect features People who dislike low-profile switches | People who want full-height MX-style switch feel Buyers who want to use Kailh Choc switches Anyone who needs backlit legends without swapping keycaps Buyers looking for the cheapest wireless option |
| Pros , different | Thin 65% at about 436 g (maker) Hardly any deck flex and noticeable foam (Android Police) 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and wired QMK/VIA with PBT keycaps Good for tablets on the go (Android Police) | Low-profile switches with about 75 to 80 percent of the travel of full-height switches, per Tom's Hardware 2.4GHz at 1000Hz polling, which Tom's Hardware could not tell apart from wired in a shooter Up to 220 hours of battery with lights off per NuPhy, and 35 to 57 hours with all lights on Double-shot PBT keycaps and pre-lubed switches, both praised by Tom's Hardware QMK/VIA remapping with eight layers (Tom's Hardware) Mac/Windows switch with alternate keycaps, and AirFeet that let it sit on top of a laptop Four spare switches and seven spare keycaps in the box (NuPhy) |
| Cons , different | No function row on a 65% layout Only Gateron or Keychron low-profile switches fit (Android Police) Battery rated at 73 hours Low-profile typing may feel shallow Android Police still prefers full-height boards for desk use | Only Gateron low-profile (KS-33) switches fit; Kailh Choc switches do not The flat keycap profile takes an hour or two to adjust to, and a palm rest is not included Bluetooth polling is 125Hz; use 2.4GHz or USB-C for low latency VIA limits macros and static lighting scenes (Tom's Hardware) The stock keycaps are not backlit, so most of the light comes from the side bars Creative Bloq found the 75% layout a little cramped coming from full-size, and not the cheapest |
| Research take , different | A strong slim 65% for travel. The function-row sacrifice is the main trade. | A thin, light, well-reviewed low-profile 75% that suits portability and multi-device work. Tom's Hardware gave it an Editor's Choice award as one of the best low-profile mechanical keyboards, and Creative Bloq called it a high-quality, attractive choice. The compromises are a flat keycap profile, Gateron-only low-profile switch compatibility and a price above basic rivals. If you want full-height switches, look elsewhere. |
