Don't know why there aren't more Nuphys on here. Chose this low profile 96% as daily driver due to its portability for when I go into the office. Nuphy and Gateron's new "Wisteria" switches. I love it so far! I bought both this one (Nuphy air96) and Keychron K5 Pro and ended selling the keychron. Just preferred the thonkiness of the air96. Would appreciate keycap suggestions!

It's a beauty (and the cat too)! Personally, I had a 96% before and I wish there was a way to find the arrow keys without looking down or trying a key. When the arrow keys are separated, it's nbd to use them by feel. I sort of wish they keys had some sort of bump or something to make it easy to feel them out.

Ahh, I see it now! I had a 96% Keychron and it didn't.

I tried too. Bought a Kira when they came out. I put a few months into it but I just couldn't overcome 30 years of muscle memory and it turns out I use keys like home and end a lot.

So if anyone in here wants to buy it...
