Good for , different People who want a slim, stylish aluminum 75% Wired-or-Bluetooth users who carry a board between desks Typists who like low-profile POM switches 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 Buyers who want remapping software or QMK/VIA Gamers who want 2.4 GHz Anyone who needs long battery life 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 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) 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 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) 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 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 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.
