Overall, this is very decent keyboard. If you are looking for a low-profile keyboard, then it should be a good option.

I love low-profile and bluetooth. But this is red switch and it is terrible for typing.

Disagree. I have more than 5 mechanical keyboards, and tried 4 low-profile keyboards, and this is super easy to type compared to all other keyboardsConfused

Aren't red switches supposed to be good for gaming and quite decent for typing too?

Yes, for an average user red switches are great fine balance. I use 2 nuphy keyboards with red switches; both are great all purpose. I cannot comment on gaming since I come from mac.

These keyboards however may or may not have messed up the experience. I dont own one so cannot vouch for this keyboard.

I just got the nuphy and replaced my keychron. Definitely the best typing experience so far.

Any reason? I have a Keychron K6 shipping soon from Amazon.

Never mind, not really comparable since the cheapest nuphy is twice as expensive with many being closer to 3x the price of the keychron

I got the Nuphy75, which was about 120 full price. But I got it on sale on Amazon for about 100 shipped. The Nuphy is more compared to the Keychron Pros.

My K1 has red low profile gateron switches. It's a lot squishier but quieter than Nuphy's Gateron Low-profile 2.0 Switches. But the amount of force plus tactile feedback seems to match perfectly with the nuphy, vs the K1. The click clack isn't super loud, but is enough to tell you its a mechanical keyboard. Also, Nuphy is better for gaming as it has low frequency. Look at reviews for Keychron vs Nuphy on RTings. If you're interested, wait for a sale, totally worth the price at 20% off. When Nuphy had a sale, the amazon price went down too, so I got free shipping plus 5% back.

I have two keychron k6s (red switch) and typing experience is not bad at all, but it's not a best experience tho. I prefer gateron yellow switch which I've been using very often more than other switches.

How about input on the deal posted, anyone use this? What brand switches are they? Hot swappable?

From the specs, 2 hr battery, 75% (no num pad, not my preference), USB-C is nice.

Seems like a good value if it fits your needs.

Thanks. I went with the Keychron K6 with Gateron Brown which I figure will be better for typing than the reds. Would prefer PBT keys than the Keychron offerings, but at the $55 price point it seems hard to beat.
