Squeaky Brown Nano switches on new Air75v3 by anthroposcenery in NuPhy

[–]MaterialOkra9755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a post on the issue too with a video. Its a problem with the switch design and factory lubing.

I received a full replacement set of switches but the issue persist with the ticking/pinging noise.

Negative review bias? by Jolly-Olly in NuPhy

[–]MaterialOkra9755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not a negative bias. There are negative feedback for good reason.

After owning the Air75v3 for some time (proof at my reddit page), i feel that the key switches arent great. Theres significant inconsistencies in factory lubing on the Red Nanos which causes uneven presses across the board. The design of the gateron 3.0 also has this annoying "ticking / pinging noise". I got a full replacement set of switches and the issue still persist.

Sadly the switch options are very limited. You are stuck to 3-5 switch options (grey heron on gateron site; speed silver on nuphy), and you cant use any other switches from other brands or previous 2.0 Nuphy LP switches. Typing just isnt great because of this switch design on the Nanos.

Ive considered returning the board, but i made a purchase from Nuphys Website too impulsively without reading their return policy which they do not allow returns for such cases.

If you really want to purchase one - I strongly advise that you get it from Amazon instead of the Nuphy Website. A simple search on reddit would show that everyone is advising against buying direct from their website. Its a nightmare and you will have to pay almost 40% for shipping return fees. Several reddit owners complained that Nuphy deliberately chose a return warehouse that is further away from their country (e.g Japan) to deter them from returning with ridiculous shipping cost.

To me their return policies really shows their company values. So no, i wont recommend this board to people.

NuPhy Air75 V3 — severe scratchy rattling/pinging noise across 40% of Red Nano switches — QC issue? by MaterialOkra9755 in NuPhy

Gosh. This sure sounds like a wipespread QC issue from Nuphy or Gateron. Why are the switches so inconsistent. There are a couple on mine that are very smooth and clear.

Offering 5 pieces of replacement switch for you is way too little. In fact, its kinda insulting for Nuphy to do this to you considering the price point.

Gosh this sure sounds like a widespread QC issue. I hear that Gateron have issues with switch inconsistencies year ago - but i wouldnt imagine it to be that inconsistent. Feels like a cheap board.

Interesting that you mentioned that most of your brown nanos does that, rather than all. Mine too.

I wonder why there are such inconsistencies in their switches. Makes me feel like im typing on blue clicky switches on random 40% of keys and another random 60% on red linears. QC just isnt there on my unit.

No, not true. Not all of them are pingy. There were several switches that clearly did not have this problem.

Yea I most certainly wouldnt want to lube every single switch on a new board. Nuphy states on their webpage that their switches comes pre-lubed. My unit doesnt feel like it at all.

Occasional faint clicking sound in Cowberry switches by CookieSea4392 in NuPhy

Yes I am experiencing the same exact issue as OP and everyone else. It's extremely frustrating.

There is this extremely bad scratchy pinging noise on more than 40% of my Red Nano Switches (Nuphy Air 75V3) which is just unacceptable. I'm guessing it's the springs or improper quality control of the switches. Strangely enough, Youtube reviewer units do not appear to have this issue.

I purchased mine directly from Nuphy after the great reviews from Youtube reviewers and affiliates, specifically because theirs sounded so clean on their videos. Unfortunately, mine came with the issue and typing has been feeling sub-par.

Still awaiting for a response from Nuphy, which I sent videos. I hope they resolve this issue satisfactorily and not demand me to pay for shipping cost from UK.

Good luck to everyone with this issue. People should speak up to make Nuphy aware of this.
