Nuphy Air 75 V3 - Configuring on Linux

This will be a very short post to put something on the internet that I couldn’t easily find with Google.

I recently got the Nuphy Air 75 V3 mechanical keyboard. It’s great so far - from the 12 hours I’ve had it with me so far :)

The one problem I faced was trying to use the Nuphy.io configurator to change the keybindings. It worked on my Mac, but on my Linux (Omarchy btw :) ) it just failed with a confusing error about permissions. It showed up in the list of devices on Chrome when I tried to connect to it, but it just wouldn’t connect.

The solution is to create a udev rule that does something to allow the keyboard to be connected to from Chrome somehow. I have ZERO knowledge of the details, just that it works.

I created /etc/udev/rules.d/50-nuphy.rules and put the following content in it.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="19f5", ATTR{idProduct}=="1028", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="19f5", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1028", MODE="0666"

For other Nuphy keyboards, the vendor id would stay 19f5, but the product id will change. Use lsusb to find yours. On Omarchy I use the USBView application since lsusb isn’t installed by default.

Hope this shows up in the Google search for the next person facing this issue and helps them.
