Pros and Trade-offs

Your workflow dictates the winner. If you constantly need arrow keys, function keys, or navigation keys without using layers, the Nuphy Air75's layout is worth the slight size and weight penalty. If your priority is a minimalist, travel-friendly keyboard that saves maximum desk space and you are comfortable with layered key commands, the Nuphy Air60 is the more portable option. Both deliver the same core low-profile typing experience, wireless versatility, and hot-swap customizability.
