Title: Help with custom Air75 built
Post by: marouxlas on Thu, 22 September 2022, 10:22:02

New user here, please be patient...

I am looking to do my first custom built. Something similar to the NuPhy Air75.
Specs: 75%, low profile, no need for wireless or any lighting, this is a productivity keyboard.
Where it gets tricky is that I prefer keys that are close to each other AND keycaps that have no gap (similar to Air75). A volume knob and a split space bar would be great but not a requirement.

Any help to get me started?
Thank you in advance!

consider a keycult

Thank you for the feedback. I checked their website but nothing is available and I see no new releases for a year. Any other possible vendors would be appreciated.

^ He must be trolling with that keycult recommendation. Do consider a NIZ Micro82, it is a great productivity board with "light-tactile" typing feel. It's not low profile per se, but you can always use a flatter/uniform keycaps if you want.

Thanks for the suggestion. Any keycaps that would have minimal gap between keys?

Your best bet would be XDA and NP profile keycaps
