There is more to the Nuphy keyboard design than what can be perceived at first glance. It is built to be both a great MacBook companion and an iPad keyboard all in one layout.
Air60 vs. Air75
While the new NuPhy keyboards are easy to choose because of all the improvements and innovation that has gone into them, what’s a harder choice is deciding whether to go with the Air60 or the Air75. The essential difference between the two is the extra row of function keys and an extra column of navigation keys that the Air75 has and the Air60 doesn’t. In contrast to the Air60, this makes the Air75 slightly bigger, which might seem like a minute variance, but, in reality, this significantly impacts both the aesthetics and functionality of your choice.
