Why am I importing a NuPhy Air75 V2 from the US to Germany?

Why I chose to import the NuPhy Air75 V2

I have been searching for a low-profile mechanical keyboard that doesn't feel like a toy. In February 2026, the market in Germany is still lagging behind the US when it comes to specific mechanical keyboard releases. I noticed that the NuPhy Air75 V2 was constantly sold out in local European shops, or they only carried the basic brown switch options. I wanted the specific Wisteria linear switches, which led me to look at US retailers. I asked myself if the extra steps were justified, and my conclusion was that the US-spec availability is simply superior.

The lure of US-spec switches and colorways

I found that the Taiwanese keyboard community is currently obsessed with the V2 because of its QMK/VIA support and the 1000Hz polling rate. However, the most coveted versions—the ones with the specialized Cowberry and Wisteria switches—are often prioritized for the US market. When I checked the stock in Asian hubs, they were cleared out by local enthusiasts. By deciding to buy from US ship to Germany, I was able to secure the exact configuration I wanted without waiting for a local restock that might never come.

How I handled the shipping process

I knew I couldn't rely on direct shipping because many US stores either don't ship to Germany or charge astronomical rates. I used comGateway to get a tax-free us address in Oregon. This allowed me to avoid US sales tax entirely, which already saved me about 8-10% on the purchase price. From there, I used them as my freight forwarder to handle the long haul across the Atlantic. I found that having a dedicated international shipping service made the tracking process much less stressful.

Shipping estimates for the Air75 V2

Before I committed, I used a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost. I needed to know if the weight would make the keyboard twice as expensive. Here is what I discovered during my shipping process in 2026:

Lithium battery and customs rules for Germany

I had to be careful about the battery. The NuPhy Air75 V2 contains a 4,000mAh lithium-ion battery. Most international shipping regulations require these to be shipped inside the equipment, which is the case here. My package forwarding provider correctly labeled the package as UN3481. For my Germany delivery, I also had to account for the 19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer (Import VAT). Since the keyboard is under 150 EUR, I didn't face additional customs duties, just the VAT and a small handling fee from the courier.

My verdict on the total cost

I spent about 15 minutes setting up my shop us store account and another 5 minutes on the forwarder's site. Was it worth it? Yes. Even with the shipping fees, I received a keyboard with the exact switches I wanted—something I couldn't find in Berlin or Munich. If you are picky about your typing experience, don't settle for the leftovers in the local market. My advice is to use a parcel forwarding service and just get the US version.
