Air96 is coming with both light bars blazing! Let's cut to the chase: we know you want an specs maxed out Air with Air's ultra-mobility, and we want it too. So here it is, a realization of NuPhy's pioneering design concepts leveraging the most sophisticated materials and production techniques, we have built the most powerful low-profile keyboard to date.

An air of sophistication.

Ultra-slim aluminum frame, matte bottom, and gloss finish nameplate, Air96 has retained the classic elements of the Air design. But don’t be fooled by the simplicity of its look, beneath which we have introduced the super adaptable two-piece foot stand adjustable to three different typing angles, for maximum typing comfort in any environment. The iconic Ionic White color and the electrophoresis coating process that made it possible on the Halo series are also coming to Air96, making it the Air with the most refined and polished look so far.

PRODUCT SIZE

Triple the juice,
for a full tri-mode experience.

We don’t mind padding stats, if they mean genuinely improved user experience. Equipped with a not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4000mAh battery that beats competitors by a factor of 2, and comparable to high-profile keyboards, Air96 just keeps going, be it multi-tasking on 4 different Mac/Windows devices, or heavy-duty editing and gaming, on a 2.4 GHz low latency connection.

Native dual-OS support as a process.

As operating systems keep evolving, so does our effort to support them. To enable a more immersive Mac use experience, not only have we made the dedicated ‘Spotlight’, ‘Dictation’ and ‘Do not Disturb’ keys available in the newest MacOS accessible on Air96 after simple configurations, we have also built Mac-only Launchpad/Do not Disturb F6 replacement keycaps for you to choose. We will continue to find more ways, and shortcuts, including building new hardwares, to bring extra values to our users on the software side.

A double-shot keycap at half the thickness.

Double-shot PBT keycaps are finally coming to Air! With crisper texts, more vibrant colors, and record-beating thinness, you are bound to find it a lot more fun when styling your beloved Air with our extensive selection of double-shot keycap themes.

And if you are more of a sound than a look guy who prices thockiness above all else, we would strongly recommend you to have a look, or listen at our equally impressive collection of COAST Twilight, COAST Dawn and other themed Dye-sub PBT keycaps!

Nothing short of switchcraft.

NuPhy’s close cooperation with Gateron has continued to bear fruits-and flowers, meet Aloe (Linear, 37gf), Daisy (Linear, 48gf) and Wisteria (Tactile, 55gf), a new generation of switches low in profile but set the bars high in pretty much anything else. Not only has the travel been extended to a jaw-dropping 3.2mm, only a few tenths of a mm from what is seen on high profile switches, the smoothness and force feedback both receive significant boosts, thanks to the high precision mold and the upgraded 16.5mm spring, respectively. The widely acclaimed Gateron pre-lubrication is also fine-tuned to complement Air96 acoustically and tactilely. Suffice to say, a revolutionary low-profile typing experience now awaits at your fingertips.

Not so regular regulars.

If you want to stick with your old, trusted red, blue, or brown colored friends, there is good news too. The veteran Gateron switches all got upgrades to the 3.2mm travel, high precision mold and enhanced pre-lubing in the new 2.0 version, for better tactile response and smoothness. The looks are also slightly modified to make them even more symbolic: the bottom casing now displays the true color of its PA66 material instead of being painted black.

Switch. Swap. Swagger.

Each Air96 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 six bonus mechanical switches in the package. This enables different typing experiences as well as easy replacement of a damaged switch.

Flowing Backlight and Sidelight.

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 Air96 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 Air96 has more than 10 different color effects, which can be easily changed using key combination. Through Windows software, you can even limitlessly customize lighting effects.

Download NuPhy Console to customize your lighting effets.

Monochrome, many choices.

It wouldn't truly be Mono if there is no black. Acrylic Noir now joins Acrylic Frosted and Beech in the family to to provide elevated levels of comfort for those long typing sessions, and a perfect blend-in with Air96's Lunar Gray stylish coolness.

The keyboard is built very well and the Westera switches are very nice.

The keyboard feels very premium and feels great to type on. The Westera switches are tactile but not clicky, this gives them a nice sound without being too loud. The lighting is bright enough. With the standard keycaps, you can see the lighting around the keys which looks brillent with the multi-colour preset. If you pay extra for the shine-through keycaps, they let a lot of that light through so make the keys easy to see.

I am very pleased about this keyboard, esspecally with all the differnt ways it can connect to devices and the lovely poster in the box :)

Excellent keyboard!

The packaging for transportation arrived perfect! The keyboard is beautiful, with excellent response time, and it even comes with a sample of each switch available on the website. The wristrest is made of real wood, but I wish there was some way to attach it to the keyboard

Хорошая покупка

По итогу месяца использования могу сказать, что мои ожидания от покупки полностью оправдались. Получил то, что хотел. Добротно собранный, сделанный с душой товар. Свою функцию выполняет на 10 из 10. К недостаткам могу лишь отнести невозможность выбора русской раскладки при покупке в официальном магазине. Рекомендую.

Nice and good keyboard

I am quite happy with this keyboard. However, there is a strange sensation when typing quickly: an extra letter is created after the typed word. This phenomenon can be remedied with the command: ctrl + shift, but this only works temporarily.

Very sorry for this beautiful keyboard.

Awesome, finally a keyboard that works

I was searching for a trustworthy keyboard for a long time. After a YouTube review decided to try this one. I had to get used to the layout a bit but the experience so far is great. I am really satisfied with the keyboard and love to work with it.

Highly recommended

Best! This is the best low profile keyboard that supports both 2.5 and Bluetooth. The price is reasonable even if aluminum is used on the top plate. The 96% magnification was not difficult to adapt to. If you use the number pad often, I highly recommend it. I didn't feel much of a need for Palmrest.
