Using a mechanical keyboard

NuPhy Air60 V2 review

Since two months I have been using a mechanical keyboard, a NuPhy Air60 with Moss (60gf) switches. I long doubted the value of replacing my standard keyboard, liking keyboards from Apple and Framework enough not to switch. After reading lots of love from others, I decided to try it myself.

The Typing Experience

Compared to the standard keyboards, individual keys feel more intentional, you can clearly feel and hear each press (much to the appreciation of folks in the same room... "takkeherrie!"). While you may not realise it at first, this 'richer awareness' while typing adds to a rhythmic feel. It's kind of like playing a musical instrument, where different kinds of texts have their own vibe: e.g. programming with it 'sounds and feels different' than writing an email. The Moss (60gf) switches are known to maximise this effect with pronounced audible and tactile feedback.

Conclusion

Two months in I simply love it, it has become my main and only keyboard. I use it in combination with iPad, Vision Pro and my Framework laptop. If you're unsure if a mechanical keyboard is something for you, I can only recommend to try it yourself - maybe it clicks for you, too!
