It has low latency, good key feel and key travel somewhere between notebook keyboards and full-size +mech keyboards. + +I've tried many mech keyboards before, including super-minimalistic [Vortex Core](https://vortexgear.store/products/core) and +the split [ZSA Voyager](https://www.zsa.io/voyager). Most of the keyboards that have "layers" didn't quite work for me. Mostly +because my typing style makes use of "rolling over" the keys, and because of this I was frequently releasing the layer keys too +quickly. There are many people like me who have trouble typing using layer keys, and some solve this problem by adjusting the +key release timings. + +Full-size [Varmilo](https://varmilo.com/products/cmyk?variant=45112265900251) keyboards worked a lot better, but I find their +keytravel too big. You have to type really hard in order to register a keypress. + +On the other hand, typing on laptop keyboards feels too shallow and unsatisfying. This is why I was super impressed by NuPhy Air, +which is something in-between. It is great to type on, and I've spent almost last 2 years using it non-stop.
