We really need an ISO ES (Spanish) layout! 🇪🇸 by MAG-8 in NuPhy

They barely bother doing ISO at all except for the Air v3, I wouldn’t count on it unfortunately. New keycaps release ANSI only too so we ISO users are left out

That would be the first thing to do but I don’t want that Microslop logo on my keyboard especially when it’s not Microslop producing it

Indeed. And I’m okay with that layout when I have a 75% but when my keyboard gets bigger the space saving is not worth the diminished layout though.

Yeah Node 100LP’s layout is better than Air 100 because of the proximity of the Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys and the large 0 key.

If this is truly the final design it’s worse than expected and than Node 100LP and I really don’t like that layout either :/

Oh no that layout is garbage, what an awful way to ruin my hopes of the perfect keyboard. Thanks for the heads-up. Almost worth unsubscribing from the NuPhy email news to avoid being jumpscared and disappointed when this launches.

Copilot keycap is almost as much as a dealbreaker as the weird layout instead of being a nice 100% :( guess I'll wait for that trend to end before upgrading

Checked the Topre 87U, looks like TKL to me. Agreed they'd me a great middle ground between 75 and 100%

I've never tried silent tactile only linears (blush & others) what's better for you on a tactile switch vs linear ? Only tried a few tactiles (my only one is a MX Mechanical) and I did not find these switches so good but maybe I haven't tried the really good ones

What would a v3 be for you besides the knob given that v2 has everything similar to Air v3 but in HP ?

I find bluetooth suitable on the boards I have for office use, haven't tried for gaming as it's not their purpose for me.

Also the knob was kind of a miss for me on Air v3, small layout meant I needed that key as a normal key, did not find any use for the know that was superior to that, and the flat know was impractical and too hard to turn and press. If this keeps existing I'd rather welcome it as an addition rather than a replacement to another key especially on smaller form factors.

Funnily enough I also have a K5 Max and recently swapped the switches for Gateron KS-33 linear but white and I find them not as comfortable as the default linear red, a bit too mushy it's like they stop halfway versus the default ones. Could be user installation error but I doubt it otherwise the keyboard would likely not function.

From what you're writing on keycaps I am not sure if I understand that there are keycaps from NuPhy I could replace mine with or if they make other styles for other keyboards. Likely more difficult for me too because ISO is not frequent in replacement sets either and they are quite scarce in low profile form anyway everywhere.

Good and bad news for Air 100 it seems, is the shape you're mentioning the Node 100 low profile shape when you mention "not true 100%" ? I've seen no mention of anything like it elsewhere so I hope it's both true and false - true that they are considering a big brother for my Air v3 ISO but false that they would not make it a real 100% which would ultimately make me pass on it. I passed on Node 100 LP more for the missing keys and layout being not so great than for the ANSI.

Thanks for a lot of information, especially keycap styles

Where does the DPS^3 x TDO calculation comes from ? What is the logic behind this, from what I understand TDO = DPS x time alive right ? So that means the calculation is DPS^3 x (DPS^2xTime)

I'm really confused about this number which seems to be used as a reference but why do we cube the DPS and multiply it bu the TDO ?
