Nuphy Air60 V2 Mechanical Keyboard

The Air60 is a lightweight keyboard with advanced wireless performance, offering exceptional connectivity and flexibility. It's designed for mobile devices and maintains a modern design aesthetic. The keyboard offers both aesthetic and functional improvements from its predecessor.

Design

The Air60 maintains a minimalistic design with enhancements, including an improved bottom case that features a finer texture and greater transparency, revealing the keyboard's interior components.

Performance

Offering both Bluetooth and 2.4G connections, Air60 V2 continues NuPhy's tradition of supporting mobile computing devices. It's designed for portability without compromising on the experience, ensuring you feel comfortable working from any location.

Wireless Performance

The Air60 is equipped with a 1000Hz polling rate chip, ensuring a high-speed wireless performance.

Benchmark tests have revealed exceptional latency performance, dispelling myths about low profile keyboards.

Sound engineering has been a focus, resulting in improved sound performance for the keys, particularly the spacebar.
