Livakivi | An Honest Review of the Lofree Flow (A Low-Profile Mechanical Keyboard) @Livakivi | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Update: The problem I described at 16:38 MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WITH THE KEYBOARD ITSELF. Read the pinned comment for more info.
After making a video on my history with mechanical keyboards, dozens of keyboard companies started contacting me wanting me to promote their keyboards. I declined all of them except one, who sent me their keyboard in exchange for an honest, unpaid review.

@Chyrosran22's video: youtu.be/USYLhN6wP4g
MUSIC:
- Final Fantasy XIII OST - The Yaschas Massif
CHAPTERS:
- 00:00 I was contacted by dozens of kb companies
- 00:53 The Lofree Flow & low profile keyboards
- 1:40 I accepted the keyboard to review it
- 2:00 Review/unboxing starts
- 2:10 Disclaimer about unpaid reviews
- 2:45 Why I won't do many videos like this in the future
- 3:20 The included cable
- 4:35 The cable could have been a bit more interesting
- 5:00 The keyboard is very light (first impressions)
- 5:30 Light keyboards can be nice too
- 5:58 The material is rather soft/flimsy/cheap
- 6:17 It has quite a lot of flexion, doesn't feel entirely premium
- 7:00 My brand new keyboard that I just unboxed had a dent in it from the shipping
- 7:20 Chyrosran22 had a similar experience
- 8:14 Potential quality control issue regarding the dent
- 8:28 More thoughts on build quality & issues with small details
- 9:05 Keycaps are alright, but very thin
- 9:20 I won't be covering the lighting/RGB more in this video
- 9:40 First time trying out the switches, they're actually pretty nice
- 10:05 Smoothness, self lubrication & stiction/steppyness
- 11:05 Stability & hot-swap that isn't really compatible with many switches
- 11:15 The typing feel, low travel distance and bottoming out
- 12:50 Sound test
- 14:20 More thoughts on the feel/sound
- 14:35 MASSIVE ISSUE this keyboard has (its not programmable)
- 15:45 Thoughts on the low profile
