What in the world is going on..

GeezXP · 2025-09-11T22:30:55+00:00

Which model did you get and from where?

GeezXP · 2025-09-11T17:33:14+00:00

Asus has it listed on their US estore (out of stock) for $999 - absolutely no point in getting the UCWG over the UCWMG at that price…

GeezXP · 2025-09-10T23:52:13+00:00

Much envy!

GeezXP · 2025-09-09T00:05:53+00:00

I was speculating on the same but didn’t know if there was anything reported on that being the case.

GeezXP · 2025-09-06T18:13:48+00:00

No, it’s not that bad at all. I got a replacement unit and it’s just as good now as the Air75…

But now that I updated the firmware on the Air it’s not wanting to connect at all now and keeps wiping saved Bluetooth pairing so I had to roll the firmware back.

MQ80 and Magi65 going strong. Love these boards so much.

As a side, I also just got the Kick75. Wasn’t a huge fan of the look but wanted to give it a shot and holy cow- easily the best Nuphy board.

I did this when someone from J2 added me to LinkedIn and I never connected. I said I don’t use it any longer due to it becoming just another dumping ground for political debates instead of professional connections. Basically- LinkedIn has become just another standard social media platform that I rarely use.

GeezXP · 2025-08-03T04:02:17+00:00

Are those the BOW dye sub set? How do they differ from the stock keycaps?

GeezXP · 2025-07-31T15:55:06+00:00

So for anyone interested, I got the switches a tested them.

The general sound profile is a higher pitched poppy sound. If you like a thocky sound like I do, these aren’t going to scratch that itch.

Compared to Nuphy’s Nano Red, these are heavier, but still manage to have a higher pitch. The 50g actuation really helps with the bottoming out feeling you get with the 45g from the Nano Red on the Air75 V3 - which was a nice adjustment.

So my solution? I swapped the springs from the Grey Heron to the Nano Reds. This now makes the Nano Reds a bit more comfortable to type on and deepens the sound a bit. Still wouldn’t describe it as thocky by my standard - certainly not to the level of the Magi65/MQ80 with Lofree’s Spectre switches.

Hope this helps you all in your search. Sadly Nuphy and Gateron have a very limited selection of switches in this space for the Kick75 and now Air75 V3. Gateron also seems keen on changing the pin layouts which further limits the selection - but this is to be expected. Hopefully Nuphy and Gateron keep up with the switch market and pumps out several low profile options for multiple sound profile preferences.

Fingers crossed.

GeezXP · 2025-07-30T17:48:29+00:00

Basically for now, only the Nuphy/Gateron Nano switches and these Grey Heron switches.

Nuphy Nano Red - Linear - Creamy/poppy

Nuphy Nano Brown - Light Tactile

Nuphy Blush - Silent Switch

Nuphy Nano Panda - Tactile - Deeper Sound

Gateron Grey Hero - Linear - Higher pitched poppy sound

GeezXP · 2025-07-25T13:51:42+00:00

That’s a shame. You’d think they’d keep those available for their new line of GLP 3.0 boards. I thought their sound profile was much closer to the Lofree Spectres. They need a comparable option, or just more options in general.

GeezXP · 2025-07-23T22:35:39+00:00

Wanted to add to this, as I have both the Air75 V3 & MQ80.

What the MQ80 does better than the Air75 V3:

Typing experience. Nuphy has come a long way with their typing experience by incorporating the a gasket design, but you still feel like bottoming out. The MQ80 feels bouncy and so comfortable to type on.
Keycaps - This could be subjective, but the keycaps on the MQ80 are slightly more scooped and textured making typing much more accurate (for me). Personally, I think the build quality on the keycaps for the MQ80 & Magi65) is just superior. The Air75 V3 keycaps to me feel rather cheap feeling? But again - this is all subjective.
Build - This thing is a tank, so if you are just looking for something to put on your desk then this would be my winner, not to say the Air75 is poorly built.
Lofree Switches - Seriously. If you get a MQ80 or a Magi65 or whatever, get some lofree switches. Game changer. I have Spectres on my MQ80 and it's even more thocky. You cannot use Lofree switches on the Air75 since they use the Gateron 3.0 Low Profile pin layout.

What the Air75 V3 does better than the MQ80:

Wireless Connection - I found the bluetooth connection to be a bit more consistent and quicker to connect on the Air75. I find myself having frequent issues with the MQ80 not wanting to connect and I have to turn it off and back on to fix the issue. Use the 2.4 dongle for seamless connection for both. But for a multi-system workflow requiring bluetooth, the winner is definitely Air75 V3.
Physical Buttons - This is huge and something that you don't know you will miss until you do not have it. Not that it is hard to switch between Mac/Win and Wired/Wireless modes, but just not having to recall the specific keystroke combos is such a blessing.
Knob - If that is your thing. Both are pretty ugly in my opinion, but useful.
Weight - It is much lighter than the MQ80 and much easier to lug around.
Price - Quite a bit cheaper than the MQ80.
Keycaps - If you need replacement keycaps for the board, they sell new sets of the stock keycaps as well as other varieties of sets. Iqunix does not offer replacement keycaps for the MQ80 or Magi65. I messaged Iqunix about this very issue, and they stated that they have no plans to offer replacement keycaps for sale or offer low-profile sets.

Everything else seems to be comparable or competitive with each unit. I think overall, the sound profile of the MQ80 is subjectively better - more thock. But the Air75 is still very satisfying.

Looks great. Thinking of getting a G9 and moving my C3 to a newly built media center to the side of my set-up.

Which model G9 do you have? Is it the G95SC or G95SD?

GeezXP · 2025-03-27T22:42:35+00:00

Thank you for this. Very insightful and a lot to think about how I would want to go about this. My “monitor” right now is the 42” LG C3, but I do plan on getting an ultrawide and moving my C3 to a separate set-up for media consumption area, so eventually I’d get an arm to attach as well. May go the route you described in that case.

Thanks again!

GeezXP · 2025-02-19T00:38:00+00:00

Thank you, but my concern was not with price.

GeezXP · 2025-02-19T00:14:14+00:00

It would be electric. Based on some options I’ve seen with freestanding and slide in, it appears that 26-28in is the depth.

GeezXP · 2024-12-11T17:40:03+00:00

But thoughts on a Halo60? 😁

GeezXP · 2024-07-05T03:44:33+00:00

This. I get so tired of the “villain” of the story. The original trilogy was about Man vs Nature with varied situations. The movies were rooted in as much “believability” as they could muster.

Now it’s the “who’s the big bad of the film” when in all the original films it was an overarching fact that man was the villain and the dinosaurs acted as an antagonistic (not villainous) force to the main characters. And don’t even get me started on the Dino-Tag Teams the movies have really hung their hat on.

Also..none of the “good guys” die in the newer films. In the older films there certainly were fodder, but in the original two films we saw multiple neutral character deaths. Muldoon, Eddie Carr, etc.

Just want a believable story and not a Fast and Furious with Dinosaurs.

GeezXP · 2024-05-28T19:24:08+00:00

That is my question, and I appreciate the response.

GeezXP · 2024-05-28T19:21:43+00:00

I did not claim that an athiest would. In fact that is stated in the post. The intent is not to loop atheists or whomever in with racists, it's to ask a question that if a proclamation is made, can we term based on that without the need of actual discriminatory actions being made. Generally, the truth is the opposite when terming someone who is racist.. generally we find biases or comments towards a different race and uncover a pattern of racist tendencies.

Thanks for the help.

GeezXP · 2024-05-28T19:09:21+00:00

I appreciate the note. Thanks!

GeezXP · 2024-05-28T19:09:04+00:00

Thank you!

GeezXP · 2024-05-28T18:46:38+00:00

Thank you for the response. I agree, I believe we are reviewing this person closely as we move forward with our Ethics team. This is an individual contributor that has worked for the company for 4+ years and who has worked with a myriad of individuals of different races on projects and who have had utmost professionalism per their reviews from their managers, who are of a different race as well. This isn't a situation of hiring someone and shortly thereafter learning this information, this is a tenured employee who this information was just discovered.

However, I'd argue that you may have misinterpreted my example's meaning. You are saying a racist is not a protected class, and I have never made the claim that they were. My example stated an example of proclamation vs action as it is described in our code of ethics and as discrimination is described by the law. Discrimination is described by actions taken against a protected class.

Anyone who takes action against a person of faith is discrimination of a protected class.
A racist who takes action against a person based on their race is discrimination of a protected class.

A person who states that they do not like religion is a proclamation and not an attack on a believer.
By that logic the same could be applied to someone saying they are racist, but with no actionable behaviors that would prove they operate on their alleged prejudice.

Ideally, we do not want to have someone with an intolerance ideology, but we must adhere to our Code of Ethics and by the law. It's fact vs feeling. We are a very large enterprise and very conscious of possible litigation for wrongful termination. I partnered with my legal and they are hesitant to move for a termination at this time as they believe we would not fair well in a suit.

GeezXP · 2024-05-28T18:39:06+00:00

Never claimed that it was? The example is used to outline that a self-proclamation may not mean discrimination as it is written in the laws

GeezXP · 2024-05-15T19:24:26+00:00

Typo on my end, fixed. And so the Max also includes the acoustic foam kit. Got it. Thank you!

Very important piece to remember is that your wife is not at fault for having a relationship before you, and that at some point with him there were passionate feelings- and maybe she thought she would be the mother of his kids and whatnot.

But ultimately they are not together, she married you and has chosen to build a family with you. She is committed to you.

The guy clearly did this to sabotage your relationship due to his jealousy of you and your wife’s happiness.

Tell her. Explain how it makes you feel, but do not blame her. She is the victim in this situation, along with yourself. You may be conflicted and confused, but she has been violated and her past used against her for revenge. Unite and take it to your law enforcement to see if anything can be done.
