What works. What doesn't.
With limitations
Typing
RTINGS bought and tested the 100-key Flow 2 in Space Gray; its review covers the Flow 2 line, which Lofree also sells in 68 and 84-key sizes. It found the typing experience more refined than many competing low-profile keyboards, with factory-lubed switches and stabilizers and a slightly cushioned gasket mount, but the tactile switch option somewhat loud. Its first unit had intermittent wired connection problems and was replaced, and it reports other quality concerns such as spring ping.
RTINGS found excellent single-key latency and 1000Hz polling wired or on the 2.4GHz receiver, and Bluetooth pairing with up to three devices. Lofree lists Windows, Android, macOS, iPadOS and iOS, and rates the 3000mAh battery at up to 120 hours in Bluetooth with the backlight off and up to 17 hours with it on.
Lofree sells the Flow 2 in 68, 84 and 100-key sizes. The 84-key version is a 75% layout with a function row and no numpad. RTINGS notes the aluminum case makes it relatively heavy for its size.
Lofree lists hot-swappable support and Lofree x Kailh Cloud Series switches, and offers a set of its Void low-profile switches as an add-on. It does not say which other low-profile switches fit. Remapping and macros use VIA, which RTINGS found more limited than NuPhy's software. Backlighting is white only.
