On June 10, 2025, NuPhy finally opened preorders for the Air75v3, the latest addition to the Air series.
In addition to the ANSI layout, the “JIS” and “ISO” layout lineup is also available this time.
Many Japanese may be especially pleased with the long-awaited “Japanese-language array.

The selling price is $139.95, and please note that the preorder acceptance schedule varies by layout.

ANSI Layout
- Start date: June 10, 2025
- End date: July 10, 2025
- Estimated ship date: All pre-orders will ship beginning July 15, 2025.
JIS and ISO (German, French, British) layout
- Start date: June 30, 2025
- End date: July 30, 2025
- Estimated ship date: All pre-orders will ship beginning July 30, 2025.
Thus, the preorder start date for the Japanese-language sequence is June 30.

Presumably, NuPhy Japan will announce the start of preorders in Japan during this time.
Considering support and other factors, it is better to purchase from a domestic distributor for Japanese-language layouts.
I will make an announcement here, so please consider where to purchase Japanese-language sequences!
Simulate the total amount with KeebTax.
The amount shall be $129.95 after applying the coupon code.

Thus, the estimated payment would be about 22,000 yen if purchased from the head office.


For those who have been waiting for the arrival of the Japanese-language layout, this is a long-awaited product.
It is also one that ANSI users would consider replacing.
While there are many advancements from the previous model, such as extended battery life and interchangeable rotary encoder knobs, the key to this replacement is the “new PCB and keyswitch”.
The new PCB with Gateron LP 3.0 is compatible with MX compatible normal profile key switches as well as Kick75.
Although there is no mention of switching to normal profiles, we very much appreciate this new keyswitch support in terms of expanding the possibilities.
As for the conventional LP2.0, it may be a bit noisy to use in its original NuPhy state in office use, given that the quiet switch is only available from Keychron.
PS: We have been informed that the original Gateron has also released a silent linear switch with LP2.0 standard. Thank you, Kenjiro!
With this in mind, v3 also offers a slightly quieter “Brush Nano” option.
We also believe that if Silent Linear is released in the future, it will most likely be from LP3.0, which is the newer standard.
It looks like a great product to buy.
Let’s look at some of the details.
First, the size.
The thinnest part at the front is approximately 13 mm, allowing comfortable typing without a wrist rest.
As for the tilt angle, it defaults to 4 degrees and can be increased to 8 or 10 degrees when the foot is out.

As before, it seems to be designed so that it will not interfere with existing keys when placed on top of a Macbook.
The so-called “nobleman style”.

The keyswitch uses Gateron LP 3.0, with a total travel of 3.5mm, 0.1mm longer than the previous model, and a deep stroke that is almost the same as a regular MX standard keyswitch.

There are three types of keyswitches.
Although not explicitly stated, I would expect the silent linear position to stand as Blush Nano, Tactile as Brown Nano, and Linear as Red Nano.

Gasket mount is used as before.

The continuous usage time is an astonishing 1200 hours.
However, it takes 5 hours to fully charge the battery.
It would be nice to have a battery indicator for better visibility.


As for the upper right key, it appears that it is possible to switch between a normal keyswitch and a rotary encoder knob.


Key mapping, lighting, and macro settings can be done with the NuPhy IO 2.0 web application.
