    NOT the Best iPad or Laptop Mechanical Keyboard

    by

    The Nuphy Air60 is a tri-mode wired/wireless 60% keyboard with pre-lubed switches and double-shot PBT switches with dye-sublimated legends. This is a low-profile keyboard and Nuphy bills it as a solution to the terrible keyboards on some of the older MacBook Pro’s. Let’s get that idea out of the way first. Yes the butterfly keyboards
