| Pros , different | Aluminum frame with virtually no flex (Tom's Guide, PCMag) Kailh POM switches that Tom's Guide and PCMag found comfortable to type on Gasket mount and low-profile PBT keycaps (Lofree, LTT Labs) Hot-swap sockets (Lofree, LTT Labs) Bluetooth with up to three devices, and wired USB-C (Lofree) Compact and light at about 594 g (Lofree) | About one pound (463 g) and 13.5 mm thick, built to travel (NuPhy) Hot-swappable Gateron low-profile sockets with four extra switches in the box (NuPhy) QMK/VIA remapping across Windows, macOS and Linux (NuPhy; AppleInsider) Tri-mode with 1,000 Hz polling over 2.4 GHz and wired (NuPhy) Aluminum top that PCMag found rigid, with double-shot PBT keycaps (NuPhy) Optional magnetic folio case that doubles as a stand (AppleInsider, PCMag) |
| Cons , different | Tom's Guide called the battery weak: five days at about six hours a day in its spec box, about a week of work in its text Switch options are rigid, and colors and switches cannot be mixed (Tom's Guide, PCMag) No remapping or macro software (Tom's Guide, PCMag) No 2.4 GHz dongle, only Bluetooth or wired (PCMag) Backlight shines around the keys rather than through them (PCMag) No volume roller or USB passthrough (PCMag) | Tiny right Shift that How-To Geek called a big compromise PCMag found the feet's locking tabs tight and shedding plastic after repeated use Bluetooth polls at 125 Hz (NuPhy) No dongle storage on the board and no barebones version (PCMag) Battery rated for only 30 to 90 hours with lights on (NuPhy lab figure) PCMag said it is best for mobile use rather than as a desk board |
| Research take , different | A beautifully built low-profile board with a good feel, but a weak battery, limited switch choice and no software, according to Tom's Guide and PCMag. Choose it for looks and typing, not features. | A well-liked travel 60% with real customization, held back by the cut-down right Shift and, according to PCMag, a design aimed at mobile use. Try the Shift layout before you buy. |
