| Pros , different | 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) | Easy-Switch for up to three devices over Logi Bolt or Bluetooth (Logitech, Macworld) Long battery life, rated for 15 days with backlight and 10 months without (Logitech, PCMag) Tom's Hardware and PCMag found the typing feel very good, with Macworld praising minimal wobble on tactile switches Smart backlight that wakes as hands approach (Logitech, PCMag) Choice of tactile quiet, clicky or linear Kailh Choc V2 switches (Tom's Hardware, PCMag) Aluminum top plate in a plastic case made with recycled plastic (Tom's Hardware, PCMag) |
| Cons , different | 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 | Switches are fixed at purchase, with no hot-swap (PCMag) How-To Geek found rigid switches, shaky stabilizers and off-kilter keycaps Low profile rules out standard wrist rests (Tom's Hardware) Options+ lacks macro programming (Macworld) and remaps only 24 keys (How-To Geek) USB-C cable is charge-only (PCMag) Backlight is white only, with no RGB colors (Tom's Hardware) |
| Research take , different | 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. | A polished productivity board whose strengths are connectivity, battery and smart lighting. Reviewers disagree on typing feel, so try the tactile quiet version if you can and skip it if you want hot-swap or macros. |
