Compact 96% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

The NuPhy Air96 V2 is a 100-key wireless mechanical keyboard built on an aluminium frame with PBT keycaps and a 13.5 mm thin profile. It offers Bluetooth 5.1, 2.4 GHz and wired USB-C connectivity with simultaneous pairing for up to four devices. QMK and VIA support allows full key remapping and lighting control across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

Suits users wanting a low-profile.

The 96% layout keeps navigation and number keys in a compact footprint, ideal for desk space savings and portability. Hot-swappable sockets let owners change switches without soldering. Buyers who require a dedicated macro column or a full numeric keypad cluster in a larger form factor should look elsewhere. The 3.5 mm travel of the linear Gateron Orange switch may not suit typists who prefer a tactile bump or heavier actuation.

1000 Hz 2.4 GHz polling rate for low-latency input

In 2.4 GHz wireless mode the keyboard reports at 1000 Hz, matching wired performance for competitive gaming. Bluetooth 5.1 operates at 125 Hz, which is standard for the protocol but higher latency than the 2.4 GHz link. A 4000 mAh battery delivers 35 to 120 hours with RGB on or up to 220 hours with lighting off.

Questions about this item

Does the Air96 V2 need any extra hardware to connect wirelessly?

It connects over Bluetooth 5.1 or its own 2.4 GHz receiver, so a PC or laptop with built-in Bluetooth or a free USB-A port for the dongle is all that is required.

Will the keyboard work alongside a legacy USB-A keyboard I keep for macros?

Yes, the Air96 V2 runs independently over 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.1 or USB-C, so a second USB-A keyboard can stay plugged in and both will function normally.

How can I confirm the Air96 V2 is running at its 1000 Hz wireless polling rate?

The 2.4 GHz link operates at 1000 Hz; you can verify the active mode and polling rate in the VIA configurator or the NuPhy console software.
