Why this ranking

NuPhy Air75 V2 is the cheapest match on this page at $119.00; Glorious GMMK Pro asks $119.99, so the runner-up carries a $0.99 (1%) premium.

They part ways on layout: NuPhy Air75 V2 lists "75% ANSI, 84-key" where Glorious GMMK Pro lists "75%; 82 keys + 1 pressable rotary encoder (barebones); Knob Support: Yes".

They part ways on connectivity: NuPhy Air75 V2 lists "2.4GHz / Bluetooth 5.1 / wired USB-C" where Glorious GMMK Pro lists "wired, USB-C 2.0 (6 ft / 2 m braided cable)".

They part ways on hot swap: NuPhy Air75 V2 lists "yes, 3-pin low-profile socket" where Glorious GMMK Pro lists "yes, 5-pin hot-swap, south-facing".

Only Glorious GMMK Pro publishes a mount type figure ("gasket-mounted"); NuPhy Air75 V2's listing states none, so treat it as unknown rather than absent.

Price and value observations

Across these 4 products we hold 4 dated USD price observations, the earliest from 2026-08-26 and the most recent from 2026-08-26.

Every product here carries a single observation, so what you see is a snapshot rather than a trend. We do not draw a price history we have not collected, and we will not tell you something is "on sale" on the strength of one data point.

Availability

Of the 4 products here: 3 in stock, 1 out of stock.

Out-of-stock and discontinued products stay in the ranking; we do not silently drop them, and the price shown for them is the last one we recorded, not a live quote.

Who this is not for

Who this is not for: skip this page if your ceiling is below $100.00; or if you are not shopping the 75% end of the catalogue. We have not physically tested any of these — every ranking here comes from manufacturer-published specifications and prices we tracked ourselves, so if you want hands-on impressions this is the wrong page.

How this page was made: the question is hand-written, and everything below it — the ranking, the comparisons, the price and stock observations — is computed by deterministic code from the same corpus our product pages render from. No model writes the analysis, and no editor re-orders the result.
