(This isn’t your average big box mart keyboard.)

The box is impressive and professional looking. It’s dubbed “Air96”, due to the 96 low profile key switches that make up this keyboard.īut, I’m getting ahead of myself. I will also be evaluating the Nuphy Air96 keyboard in terms of its features, its looks and how it feels for my day-to-day moderate typing needs. I am looking at Nuphy’s Air96 mechanical keyboard from the standpoint of an end user who may only be familiar with Apple’s included keyboard offerings. A cursory search of “keyboard review” on YouTube will bear this out. There are keycap reviews and key switch reviews, comparing actuating force to travel distance. There is a segment of tech enthusiasts that are really into their keyboards, and they are not afraid to get nerdy when discussing them. There are so many models and flavors to choose from, catering to nearly every niche of computer user (and wallet). The general consensus that canbe agreed upon is that computer keyboards have entered a glorious renaissance in the past 10 years. In short, you may not agree with my opinions-and that’s perfectly fine. As good as it may look in a picture, you’ll only really know whether you like it or not once you try it on. In fact, I’ll go out on a limb and state that reviewing a keyboard is a bit like reviewing a dress shirt. (Nuphy keycaps have been customized from their default layout.) The Nuphy Air96 feels like a spiritual successor to the IIGS keyboard, with improvements in all the right places. Below is the Nuphy Air96 keyboard purchased in 2023. My first keyboard (above) is an Apple IIGS ADB keyboard purchased in 1987.

Rather, it’s a statement to reinforce the notion that, despite my numerous experiences with keyboards over the past nearly four decades, I am not even remotely close to being an expert on them.

I have been using a computer keyboard for 37 years.
