Epomaker Galaxy100 vs Nuphy Air75 V3Full-Size vs Low-Profile Pick

The Epomaker Galaxy100 has a larger 8000mAh battery, which should theoretically last longer than the Nuphy Air75 V3's 4000mAh battery. However, actual battery life depends on usage patterns like RGB brightness and connection mode. The Air75 V3 vendor claims up to 1200 hours of use with RGB off.

The vendor description for the Nuphy Air75 V3 promotes its proprietary NuPhy IO 2.0 software for customization. There is no mention of native QMK or VIA support, which is a key feature explicitly listed for the Epomaker Galaxy100.

No. The Epomaker Galaxy100 uses standard-profile mechanical switches and keycaps. Its hot-swappable sockets are designed for 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches. The Nuphy Air75 V3 is the board designed specifically for low-profile 'Nano' switches.

The Nuphy Air75 V3's low-profile design and the vendor's description of a 'creamy' sound may be less intrusive. The Epomaker Galaxy100 is built with extensive sound-dampening foams, but its standard switches may still be louder depending on the switch type chosen. Both offer linear switch options which are typically quieter.

Yes. The vendor description for the Nuphy Air75 V3 specifically mentions it includes a knob that can be configured for actions like volume control or zooming. The Epomaker Galaxy100 also includes a knob.

Both have aluminum in their case construction. The Epomaker Galaxy100 uses a powder-sprayed aluminum alloy shell with a plastic (PP) plate. The Nuphy Air75 V3 features a CNC-machined aluminum case with a 220-grit anodized finish and also lists ABS and plastic as case materials.

The Epomaker Galaxy100 uses plate-mount stabilizers. The manufacturer's specifications note that it is not compatible with screw-in stabilizers. In contrast, the Nuphy Air75 V3 comes with screw-in stabilizers, which are generally easier to tune and modify.

Both have different ergonomic approaches. The Epomaker Galaxy100 has a fixed 7-degree typing angle and a gasket mount for a softer typing feel. The Nuphy Air75 V3 offers a 3-stage adjustable kickstand (4°, 8°, 10°) and a low-profile design intended to reduce wrist strain.

Both keyboards feature south-facing RGB LEDs. However, the Epomaker Galaxy100 vendor notes its PBT keycaps are not shine-through, meaning the legends won't glow. The backlight will shine around the keys. The nature of the Air75 V3's low-profile keycaps regarding shine-through is not specified.

The Epomaker Galaxy100 provides specific latency numbers in its specifications: 2.81ms for wired, 4.72ms for 2.4GHz wireless, and 15ms for Bluetooth. Both boards have a 1000Hz polling rate for wired and 2.4GHz modes, but the Galaxy100's published figures give a clearer performance picture.

Yes. The Epomaker Galaxy100 is listed as compatible with Mac and Windows systems. The Nuphy Air75 V3 also highlights Mac compatibility, mentioning a dedicated Win/Mac mode switch and OS-specific keycaps to ease the transition between operating systems.
