The Lofree keyboard is a sleek, minimalistic mechanical keyboard that’s got everyone talking. In this review, we’ll dive into what makes it great, its downsides, and one noticeable design flaw.
Appearance and Typing Experience
The Lofree Flow is not only beautiful but also very comfortable to type on. Its biggest advantage is the stability of its keys. Whether you’re typing or gaming, the keys are reliable, stable, and highly responsive. Although it’s not specifically built for gaming, it’s a great choice for gamers seeking a compact and dependable keyboard. If you hate wobbly keys, especially the space bar, you’ll love the Lofree Flow. It passed the space bar test seamlessly, with consistent and smooth keystrokes.
What’s in the Box
Lofree, a Chinese company known for its design-centric see-through keyboard, continues its design focus with the Lofree Flow. The package is sleek and well-organized. Inside, you’ll find the keyboard, a user manual, and a USB Type-C cable. The package is as minimalistic as the keyboard itself. However, if you want extra keycaps or a key puller, you’ll need to purchase them separately for $15, which also includes a cleaning brush.

Design
The Lofree Flow is a stunning 75% keyboard with a sleek aluminum unibody frame and shallow keycaps, making it a great match for devices like Apple’s metallic MacBooks. If you’re a professional who likes to game after work, this keyboard will fit perfectly on your home desk.
The layout is simple with no extra macro keys or fancy knobs, keeping it compact and minimalistic. I reviewed the white version, which features a silver aluminum body with rose gold accents—a classy and understated design. While some younger gamers might find it too plain, I found it very pleasant.
Build Quality
The Lofree Flow excels in build quality. Its metallic unibody and high-quality keycaps give it a premium feel. I’ve taken this keyboard along to a few LAN gaming nights and it performed flawlessly. Its compact size makes it easy to carry around, especially with your gaming PC. Just remember to bring the USB Type-C cable for the best performance.
What truly sets the Lofree Flow apart is its internal design. The keyboard features a full gasket mount and sound-dampening materials, ensuring a top-notch typing and gaming experience.
