The best thing I bought this year: a portable mechanical keyboard

The Verge praises the NuPhy Air60 V2 for its portability and distraction-free writing setup when paired with the Boox Palma 2 and NuFolio case.
The setup supports three devices, enabling seamless movement of the keyboard across personal laptop, work laptop, and Palma 2.
The reviewer describes the Air60 V2 as an improvement over a MacBook keyboard for extended writing sessions.
Comfort trade-offs include a cramped 64-key layout and a shallow angle, which may affect long-term use.
The author notes the Air60’s Moss switches offer satisfying thock without being too loud for public use.
The NuFolio serves as a stand and keyboard cover, enhancing portability when paired with the Palma 2.
The reviewer uses the setup for fiction writing and notes it supports Obsidian on Palma with the Air60 for focused work.
The author highlights portability benefits for writing at bars or quiet spaces, including a standing desk setup.
Despite cost considerations, the Air60 V2 is described as an indispensable part of the writer's routine after nine months.
The Verge notes the keyboard’s 2.4GHz dongle is included, though the author relies on other connectivity options.
