"I started with the Boox Palma 2 because its E Ink screen and limited connectivity could make it a solid distraction-free solution if paired with a good keyboard. After a lot of research, the keyboard I settled on was the NuPhy Air60 V2, with the company's heaviest tactile Moss switches and the gorgeous NuFolio case in "nostalgic tan," which is really more of a bold yellow. Now, I am no connoisseur of mechanical keyboards, but I find the Air60 V2 to be delightful to type on."
"Its low-profile keys don't have the same travel and feedback as my regular keyboard or my vintage IBM Model M, but it is still an enormous improvement over my MacBook's scissor switch keyboard. The Moss switches offer decent-enough thock, but they're not so loud that I would avoid using the keyboard in public. It might be a bit much for a quiet cafe, but I've sat and worked on articles and short stories while seated at a bar and definitely didn't feel self-conscious about it."
"The ability to pair it with three devices means I can move the NuPhy between my personal laptop, my work laptop, and the Boox with ease. It also comes with a 2.4GHz wireless dongle, but I've had little need for it. I frequently bring the Air60 with me to get some writing done on quiet nights when I'm bartending. (Come see me at Flagship Brewery Tuesdays and Thursdays.) If I need to use my laptop, the Air60 is designed to fit perfectly over a MacBook keyboard while leaving easy access to the trackpad."
A distraction-free writing setup pairs an E Ink reader (Boox Palma 2) with a low-profile mechanical keyboard (NuPhy Air60 V2) and a NuFolio case. The Palma 2's limited connectivity reduces interruptions while the Air60 V2's Moss switches provide tactile feedback and a satisfying thock without excessive noise. The keyboard supports Bluetooth pairing with three devices and includes a 2.4GHz dongle. The NuFolio serves as both keyboard cover and stand, aligning well with the Palma's flip case to create a compact, portable workspace suitable for cafes, bars, and on-the-go writing sessions.
