NuPhy Air60 is an innovative 60% ultra-slim wireless mechanical keyboard. With the world's thinnest PBT spherical keycap, low-latency 2.4g wireless connection, and hot-swappable function, NuPhy Air60 combines such a powerful configuration in a small mechanical keyboard with just 60% layout, which has never heard of before.
With AirFeet™, the Air60 would be the best replacement for laptop keyboards since the NuType F1, compatible not only with the full line of MacBooks but also with 99% of other laptops.
With the NuFolio V2, the Air60 is undoubtedly the best iPad Keyboard, supporting the iPad while giving you the best typing experience on iPad has ever had.

Thanks to the ultra-thin aluminum frame and PBT keycaps along with the latest Gateron Low-profile Mechanical Switches, the thinnest part of Air60 is only 17mm. In addition, the 2500mAh built-in battery has 39% more power than NuType F1, which provides up to 48 hours (lab data) of battery life, enabling a whole week of use.
With the evolutionary aluminum alloy stamping process, we were able to completely hide the mechanical switches under the aluminum frame and keycaps while maintaining a simple structure. This elegant design makes Air60 a unique presence in the slim mechanical keyboard market.
NuType F1 revolutionized the typing experience for the MacBook, and now the Air60 takes it a step further. The newly designed AirFeet™ is compatible not only with the full line of MacBooks but also with 99% of Laptops.
The horizontal slats at its base can lodge in the space between the keycaps of the laptop, offering both stability and accidental touch protection. We use FN + Numeric keys to replace the function keys on the Touch Bar. The hotkeys we provide are highly user-friendly, But you can still keep the option of using the Touch Bar and Touch ID. Air60 also comes with one 1.5m and one 0.2m cable. Using the short cable, you can recharge Air60 while working on your laptop.
The unique "—" shaped AirFeet™ of Air60 is compatible with more laptops than the "T" shaped AirFeet™ of NuTupe F1. The following laptop models have been found compatible with the “—” shape design of Air60 after testing.

Without NuType F1, we wouldn’t have learned that so many iPad users love the typing experience of mechanical keyboards. The NuFolio V2 can not only protect your keyboard but can also become a stand when unbuttoned and folded, supporting all the iPad Pro/Air, iPad mini and iPhone.
We believe that an iPad keyboard with hot swap function, PBT keycaps, and multi-device connection will bring you unparalleled typing experience and efficiency, completely surpassing other iPad keyboards on the market.
With 2.4G wireless and Bluetooth 5.0 seamlessly connecting with up to 4 devices, Air60 can satisfy your multitasking needs at any time.
For gamers and editors who pursue input efficiency, the new 2.4G wireless provides lower latency and higher stability than Bluetooth. You can also use a USB-C cable to connect Air60 to your device.
For Air60 to bring a better typing experience, we designed the world’s first ultra-thin PBT keycaps. With form and function both in mind, we adopted an ergonomic spherical keycap design of 4.6 mm thickness, giving you an excellent typing experience on a slim keyboard.
Made of highly durable PBT material, COAST keycaps use advanced dye-sublimation coloring technology, which completely overcomes the shortcoming of ABS keycaps which are known to wear down quickly and develop an unwanted shine over time.
Air60 was designed to be perfectly compatible with macOS and Windows from the beginning. We provided Mac multimedia-keys layout for Mac users and F1-F12 keys to Windows users.
Each Air60 keyboard is hot-swappable, allowing you to easily replace or upgrade your switches without soldering and to enjoy a different typing experience free of restriction.
We also offer three bonus mechanical switches in the package. This enables different typing experiences as well as easy replacement of a damaged switch.
Gateron Low-Profile Red is linear-style switch. Its travel path doesn’t have the bump used to provide tactile feedback. The smoother movement makes red switches quieter than tactile and click switches. We recommend it to gamers and office workers.
Gateron Low-Profile Blue is click-style switch. It has a distinct “click” sound when depressed beyond the tactile point, making it the loudest switch. We know that many typists like it.
Gateron Low-Profile Brown is tactile-style switch. A good blend of typing and gaming. Brown is widely considered to be the best “middle-ground” switch. Its tactile bump, silent travel, and medium actuation force makes it a versatile switch.
Inspired by the early MacBook battery indicator which was hidden inside the case when inactive, we added two RGB light bars on each side of the Air60 aluminum frame. The left sidelight shows the caps lock and connection mode, while the right sidelight bar indicates the battery level and system mode. When you activate the gradient light effect, the sidelights will illuminate your keyboard with an arresting glow.
The backlight of Air60 has more than 20 different color effects, which can be easily changed using key combination. Through Windows software, you can even limitlessly customize lighting effects.

I love it! The feel of the thock is nice, it’s not light and springy unlike the higher profiled ones, which I appreciate. And the extras that come with the keyboard are convenient. The folio is also very convenient to have especially when you travel alot and have to stash your keyboard in your luggage. Helps protect it.
Quality is great. Looks really good. The concept of folio is also quite good. I enjoy the feel of typing and also the sound of the keys (red ones). BUT, I make so many mistakes on it mainly because the keys are so tightly packed together that I invariably hit others while typing. I’m still hoping I will develop a good muscle memory for it and it will get better because I’m definitely keeping it. Secondly the connection is also a bit slow initially with my MacBook Pro. Tried the receiver first but it was made the keyboard so unresponsive that I thought it’s a faulty keyboard. Switched to Bluetooth and after that it’s all good now. Switching between apple and windows works fine. Haven’t used it corded.
Thanks for spending time writing the review, it means the world to us.
Please try the following steps to make 2.4G connection more statable.
My new favorite way to write on my iPad. Sturdy and professional. The storage case makes a wonderful stand. I would love to see you create a 40% keyboard, as well.
Comfortable ergonomics and easy portability makes this keyboard a no brainer to invest for you day to day gaming and work life. The multiple profiles options makes taking it to work and back home easy. It takes a little use to getting use to but once you do, muscle memory takes over and then it's smooth sailing. Battery life is amazing as well!
good luck best
I want to live again, a cute guy.
perfect keyboard
beautiful color theme, nicely build, keycap gave amazing feels, totally new experience for a low-profile keyboard! Luving it ever since i had it! ❤️
This was my first 60% kb and i absolutely adore it. I use it paired to an iPad Air4 and it connects like a dream and has astounding battery life. I look forward to every time I get to open my nufolio up and show off my keyboard. This has gotten me lots of compliments.
PROS:
Sleek design
Lightweight
Easy pairing
Good side/accent lighting
Customer support - I selected the wrong switch during checkout and they easily corrected my mistake, and my keyboard was delivered as promptly as possible, given it was a pre-order.
CONS:
Very dim backlight, which makes sense on such a low profile board but is still something to be aware of.
Shipping updates were sparse, but again, this was a pre-order
Thanks NuPhy! Good work!
Good design, and is able to be placed on top of the laptop keyboard. Not overly expensive as well.
The size of perfect for code, the NuFolio is something else, such a premium keyboard and the connectivity is very fast if you use the Air60 between your PC, iPad, and laptop at the same time, the battery is very well, 2-3 days before charging again. The brand is awesome, keep doing keyboards and keycaps like this and you are going to have all my money forever 😜
