LoFree Flow LITE - The Best Budget Low-Profile Mechanical Keyboard?

The LoFree Flow LITE is the latest addition to the company's low-profile mechanical keyboard offerings and brings with it a few improvements to address the major shortcomings of its predecessor - the Flow. In this video, I discuss the pros and cons as I see them, with reference to the LoFree Edge and the original Flow; and I explore each of the Shadow Series switches by Kailh, which are compatible with the Flow Lite: Specter, Ghost, Phantom and Hades.

Such a calm presentation in this video, also really liked you honest transparency message in the beginning.

The Hades Silent Linear is butter. Wow, what a nice quiet sound.

Hands down the best made video on the Lofree Flow Lite keyboard in YouTube ❤

Only buying this one because of the Hades switches. This is the most silent low profile switch I have seen here in YT which is best for office use.

I love tactile but the silent one on this board is very tempting.
It's great to see finally low profile models getting the care we've been waiting for.

Absolutely loved the presentation! Especially the breakdown of the switches and their compatibility. I’ve been looking everywhere for more information on this.

I think the appearance of this generation is inferior to the previous one, but the sound remaining and a 2.4Ghz dongle?! Lets

Excellent review! Thank you for the thorough switch sound comparison!

[gavlatennis]

Excellent review - very comprehensive and useful

[CraigfromOmaha]

Just ordered the 84 key version with the Vintage keycaps and the Hades switches. A ton of money to drop all at once, but it was calling to me!

[arfarfsabingdog]

Phantom and ghost sounded very different with the lite maybe due to the plastic body.

I have a request. Can you expose Lofree on how it handles their potential customers right now? Lofree doesn't make Hades as a default. The Price goes above $130 + VAT that way. They also promote 90 switches but don't get the issue to sell a 100 keys keyboard with it.

I think, Flow is the best sounding. But I want the Flow come with scrolling and firmware customization.

[Lonesome]

Hey, great review! Do you know whether the board is compatible with Kailh Chock V2 Switches?

[陳宇安-et]

What a awesome review! I got the same opinion as you. The original Flow sounds deeper and thockier which I prefer rather than the new version.

[mybuddyerick]

I have signed up for the keyboard, I am pretty excited to hear more about it. I hope they fix their spacebar and improve the software. I don't know why companies don't like to implement VIA.

[JackDaniels-ruxy]

I’m confused, the backlight shines perfectly through the keys allowing you to see them clearly. Not sure what you were talking about regarding the key caps here.

[FONVash]

I love typing on my Flow, but its disappointing to see that they still haven't 'resolved' the 'shine-through' keycaps design. I've seen various solutions (Nuphy keycaps, etc.) but I wish they had their own keycaps to choose from but its slim pickings for the Flow series.

Great video though! I appreciate the in-depth look through the Flow LITE.

What I miss form the review - is the macros saved on board or do I need the software :(
