NuPhy Launches Air 65 V3 and Air 100 V3 Low-Profile Mechanical Keyboards

NuPhy has completed its Air V3 lineup by adding two new low-profile mechanical keyboards, the Air 65 V3 in a 65% layout and the Air 100 V3 as a full-size option joining the 75% model that launched earlier last year. Both keyboards use low-profile Gateron x NuPhy MX-style switches with 3.5 mm total travel, available in 42 gf light linear (Blush nano), 45 gf linear (Red nano), and 50 gf tactile (Brown nano) variants. Construction is aluminium on top and PC (Polycarbonate) on the bottom, with a PC plate and gasket mount for a softer typing feel. Keycaps are double-shot PBT, and both keyboards are hot-swappable with N-key rollover and north-facing RGB with 20 backlight modes. Connectivity covers all three modes, 2.4 G and wired USB-C both at 1000 Hz polling, and Bluetooth 5.0 at 125 Hz.

The NuPhy Air 65 V3 measures 318.9 x 109 x 13.2 mm and weighs 635 g, with plate-mounted stabilizers and a 2500 mAh battery rated for 15 to 67 hours with lighting on and up to 761 hours with no lighting. The Air 100 V3 has a 380.6 x 133.6 x 13.2 mm footprint at 950 g and features a 4000 mAh battery good for 24 to 73 hours lit up or up to 1000 hours with lights off. Both offer three typing angles at 4°, 8°, and 10°, and come in Nova White and Nebula Dark color variants. A few weeks after announcing the Air75 V3, NuPhy faced some criticism over its decision to ship the keyboard with only a tall rotary knob by default. The company has since revised the bundle, with pre-orders now including both a high-profile knob and a low-profile variant with a translucent ring, along with the knob base. All components are color-matched to the selected keyboard finish. The Air 65 V3 is priced at $129.95 and the Air 100 V3 at $149.95.
