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".

Both are wired on connectivity; the difference is that NuPhy Air75 V2 is 2.4ghz bluetooth5.1 and Glorious GMMK Pro is not (NuPhy Air75 V2 lists "2.4GHz / Bluetooth 5.1 / wired USB-C", 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.

Availability

Of the 4 products here: 4 out of stock.

The page's top pick, NuPhy Air75 V2, was out of stock at nuphy.com.au on 2026-09-06. We are telling you that rather than quietly promoting the next one up.

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.
