Lofree is giving their low profile mechanical key lineup a refresh with the Flow Lite 2. Aimed at more budget-oriented consumers it takes low profile mechanical typing and gives it a better experience. With this one it matters because of their compact factor and having updated connectivity that many users would need in a mix of device usage. We're clearly seeing a trend of versatile peripherals that would work just as well in both macos and windows usage without a compromise.
New low-profile mechanical keyboard features custom switches and multi-platform support
With the Flow Lite 2 they're coming with two variations of the board. You have the 84 key variation and the larger 100 key variation. Both boards give you the lower profile feel that some users prefer for a flat type experience. Lofree has given both of the boards the hot swappable switch feature so you can have your own type feeling without having to use solder tools.
Specifications
- Switches: 45gf linear Echo (POM stem, PC housing)
- Battery: 3,000mAh (84-key model)
- Connectivity: USB wired, 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth
- Display: Integrated status screen
- Compatibility: macOS, Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Android
For their new keyboard their core is the custom echo switch that has a 45gf linear actuation. This custom switch uses a POM stem and PC housing so you're going to have less friction and better durability. The 84 key variation also comes with a 3000mah battery.
With the battery you can use usb wired, 2.4ghz wireless, or bluetooth connectivity options. The board itself comes with a built in status display so you can easily see battery and mode.
It's multi-platform compatible for macos, windows, ios, ipados, and android giving it the cross-platform potential. It also has via mapping available for power users if you want to have more control over key functions. The 84 key version will be 109 usd (approx. 109 usd) while the 100 key will be 119 usd (approx. 119 usd).
Lofree is doing a black friday sale with 20% off that starts November 1 2026. So the 84 key version will be 87.20 usd (approx. 87.20 usd) and the 100 key version will be 95.20 usd (approx. 95.20 usd) for that sale. This sale is for anyone placing an order between November 1 – November 30 2026. So make sure you keep in mind when to make your purchase to take advantage of these reduced prices before they're over.
is the 109 dollar price for the 84 key version fair considering it has the larger 3000mah battery while the 100 key is only 119
the price delta is only ten dollars for the extra ten keys. you get the full connectivity suite on both boards including the status display so the value is decent
I am skeptical about the battery life claims for the 100 key model since it does not list a capacity but likely uses a smaller cell than the 3000mah unit in the 84 key version
glad they finally added a status display instead of just blinking leds for battery and mode
hot swappable switches are standard now but the pom stem and pc housing combo for the echo switches is a nice touch for low friction linear typing
multi platform support is listed but you need to verify if the proprietary software works on linux or if you are relying on via mapping for custom key functions
