我没有买Air75，我买的是Halo65，不过刚好看到这则讯息就分享一下
简单说就是NuPhy这家公司升级韧体，可以延长电池寿命跟一些快捷键的改善
但是只适用于2021/12/30以后购买的Air75，之前购买的不行
为了表示诚意他们提供两个方案，第一个是购买旧的Air75的人
可以在9/30前寄信到 [email protected] 索取新的PCB自行更换
如果不想更换的可以拿到$10美金的礼券
另外他们还透漏今年底明年出会在初一版新的Air75采用更好的MCU控制芯片
老实说大陆有这么有良心的企业还真是出乎我意料之外
原文如下：
On Sep 5th we celebrated the first anniversary of Air75’s
release, and what a year it has been! Throughout the whole year,
your enthusiasm and support continue unabated, as well as our
dedication to tune, and optimize Air75 to its best. We have been
paying close attention to feedbacks from the community, trying to
listen to and understand each and every suggestion and opinion,
and this is the best time, we believe, to give you an update on
four things we have been working on and able to achieve with your
valuable inputs.
1.The much awaited accessories are finally here! Head over to take
a peek at the three flavors of the new Mono wrist rest, one
acrylic, two hardwoods, all designed exclusively for Air75. Also
fresh from the oven is the first set of shine-through keycaps for
Air75, in a short time there will be many more to come, so stay
tuned!
2. The Air75 firmware is now available for MacOS, bringing further
optimizations to improve battery life, savable sidelight settings
between power sessions, support for function keys/media keys
behavior switching with the FN+TAB+F shortcut, and adjustment to
the default Fn key behavior. Unfortunately, only Air75 ordered
after Dec 30th, 2021, will be able to support the installation of
Mac firmwares on a Mac device. For those Mac users whose purchases
were made before Dec 30th, 2021, any firmware update have to be
done on a Windows computer.
3.We understand and regret the situation these early supporters of
us have to face, and therefore would like to offer two forms of
compensations for them to choose. If you are an owner of Air75s
bought before Dec 30th, 2021(hereafter known as ‘old Air75’),
and would like free PCB replacements to use with Mac firmwares,
please E-mail us at [email protected] with your order details, and
state the number of PCBs you want before Sep 30th, 2022. The
shipping of all PCB replacement orders are scheduled between 10th
and 15th of October. Alternatively, if for any reason you are not
interested in a PCB replacement, you could get one $10 gift card
code for each old Air75 you own by E-mailing us, or simply wait
until 17th of October when we will automatically credit the
accounts of all old Air75 owners with the corresponding number of
$10 gift cards, which are stackable with other discount codes and
gift cards.
4. During Air75's initital development, we prioritized the support
of tri-mode connectivity in our selection of the controller chip,
according to what we believed provided the best value to our
users at the time. However, while our commitment to build on the
current Air75 hardwares remain unchanged, it is becoming
increasingly clear to us that its controller chip could not meet
our customers' demand for greater customizability and better
native OS support. Not only did we have to put on hold the
implementations of many features, including drivers and NuPhy
console for MacOS, which despite our sustained effort proved out
of reach for this chip. The inability to streamline development
and debugging process on this platform is costing us a lot of
resources which could have been devoted to more useful efforts.
We believe a fundamental change is in order, and are excited to
share bits of info about our new MCU chip under testing, the new
chip comes with support for up to 4 ‘layers’(the Fn1, Fn2, Tab
and native layer respectively), 1,000Hz polling rate under 2.4
GHz, and better support for MacOS and Windows. After careful
evaluation we have decided to base the next generation of Air75,
scheduled to be released late 2022/early 2023 on this chip, with
extra discounts provided to all Air75 owners. As we take up this
project in earnest and see it through, we will provide regular
updates to help you better follow our progress. The fellowship
that made Air75 possible is invaluable to us, and we would like to
build on it as we build new, fun pieces of hardware.
Thank you for your attention and support.
