Super happy with my switch from the #Keychron #K3 Max (Blue switches) to the #NuPhy #Air75 V3 (Blush nano switches).
You really can't go further in terms of clickyness and loudness of switches, to now dead silent ones. Still, I love it and I think my girlfriend and coworkers appreciate it even more.
Overall, the Air75 feels more premium than the K3 Max. I now have a battery that lasts for more than a week, and the option to add a fun knob!

Finished setting up my new #NuPhy #Air75 v3. It's great, there's a lot to love! I dig the typing feel, the sound is wonderfully muted, it's a very nice tool.
That said: The v3 seems unable to send a "real" `Fn`/Globe code to the Mac; that is some weak sauce. To make `Fn` work, I mapped the v3's "Fn" key to `Right Ctrl`, and then on #macOS used Karabiner to rewrite that to a proper `Fn`. Bit naff but it works.
I've disabled the RGB lighting entirely.
Also, NuphyIO's UI is a bit confusing

For anyone curious, the v1 keyboard’s 2.4g dongle will not connect to my v2 keyboard. So anyone taking up a keyboard kit offer might want to consider that when deciding if they want to pay the additional $10 dongle fee or not.
I generally keep to wired or bluetooth so I was just curious to see if it would work or not.

The replacement kit arrived today so spent the morning fitting switches and keycaps into the new board.
I had several keycap sets and a set of switches spare so I can keep the old board as a backup wired keyboard ready to go. If I ever get round to setting up a retro computer gaming device it might be perfect for that.

Today’s (not so) fun task was dismantling my keyboard to remove its newly acquired 'spicy pillow’.
Really don't want the battery exploding on my desk or anything. So best to be safe while I wait for the replacement v2 kit to arrive.
Thankfully it came apart easily enough and is all back together and fine now. Albeit limited to wired only mode.

Finally my #mechanical #keyboard search has come to an end for the year. I tried different switches, blue, red and brown (primarily cherry). Longest standing were #keychron (K2, K3, K8, K4, K6) but didn’t feel fully satisfied; something was missing - couldn’t put my finger on it (pun intended).
Now this #nuphy #air75 with #gateron #brown switches is already bringing a smile & the keys are so comfortable (wider?) and all in a slim profile. Brownie points that the color profile is refreshingly good + switches are hot-swappable.
