I own this keyboard but I find myself using the Nuphy Air75 more often than not . The Nuphy keyboard has a shorter battery life though and does not come with any desktop app for customization

How short is the Nuphy battery life? I'm interested in both, but if typing is somewhat close (and I'm coming from the M$ apple keyboard copy), I'd lean wanting the additional battery life and the logi software that is already on my work computer.
Great price for this keyboard. Great mechanical keyboard for most people.
Pros:
mechanical
best in class Bluetooth switching
Great battery life
Backlit, but not RGB
Low profile
OSX media / screen controls
Great intro to mechanical keyboards (or reintro depending on your age)
Negatives:
Backlight annoyoing over egineered with sensor activation. Often wrong, glows when you don't want it to or aren't near.
Mechanical experience is sub par, keys are stiff, profile is flat.
Keycaps are ABS and there's no matching sets ive heard of (Nuphy 75 key caps are close but no cigar).
Can't replace switches or anything else.
It may set you off on a mechanical kb perfect hunt and in six months you'll have five boards, boxesof unused switches and keys, and this board will be gathering dust.

Biggest deal breaker for me was that you cannot used this as a "wired keyboard with usb-c", I would have love to have been able to use it while it's charging or when I want faster response/less latency when gaming, Bluetooth has horrible latency (I believe their bolt receivers are also just Logitech version of BLE)

My use of a keyboard is usually 6-8hours a day. My Nuphy Air75 typically starts warning me of battery around 2.5 days into use and would probably die in the next 0.5 day. YMMV
The Nuphy can be used in the wired option, which is not an option on the logitech
The typing on the Nuphy IMO is better
I have one of these and I love it. I was using a Keychron K2 before it which I liked but it's so nice to only have to charge every few weeks instead of every other day.

Yeah, that's a pity I agree. It should work as a USB keyboard when connected.

I know it says it is for Mac, but would it work on a PC? Is the labeling of a few keys the only difference?
It will work for sure, though the layout itself is different with a different firmware. It's not just different silkscreen key labels.
It's not a huge difference, but different enough to be annoying when you are switching between devices. If you are a Windows PC user or regularly switch between PC and Mac like me, I'd pay extra for the standard PC/Mac version. Tried both and small differences can go a long ways.
One positive for the Mac version is that they come with a USB Type C to C charging cable instead of C to A in the standard version.
