Hi, im relatively new to the keyboard scene. I notice this Flow Lite is ABS plastic instead of aluminium. And this material turns yellow under UV light and heat. Well i dont type under the sun 😂 but does the Keyboard heats up? Is the oxidization something i have to worry about? Thanks for the answer man. Love your vide!

@@TristanPope i asked Lofree about the yellowing, their answer is as following: “I consulted the product department, and it is a common problem in the industry that ABS turns yellow after being stored for a long time, and this may be difficult to change. I specifically raised this issue with the manufacturer, and the latest reply I received was that they added anti-UV stabilizers to ABS to delay the yellowing of the plastic as much as possible.” What do you think? If you could choose again would you still pick the white color despite the risk of yellowing? Or would you pick the grey color?

For the typing feel which do you prefer more? The Lofree Flow 100 or the Lite 100? I would like to know how both versions of keycaps feel overall, is it smooth or textured? Which one is nicer to type on between the two? Thank you for the review, I reserved a spot already as well since the prices after the kickstarter is well, like you said a little crazy and no way I will afford it after then.
@TristanPope

Me personally still like the Flow 100 over this. And I prefer the tactile. The keycaps are more textured as well due to the shine through nature of the lite they are more plasticy.

Hi, really great video ! So, I have a few questions. I first saw the Lofree lite on Instagram and paid the dollar to make a 'reservation' for the product. But I don't know a thing about keyboards and it will be my first one. I plan on using it for school and peaceful gaming, is this keyboard able to handle it in a long term basis ? If I decide to buy customised keycaps, outside of Lofree, will they fit ? (If you already tried of course). If I understood correctly the volume roller (button ? thingy ?) will also work with Mac ? I can't think of anything else but I really want to make a good decision (as it is pricey even with the Kickstarter price), thank you again for your video and have a nice weekend !
@TristanPope
@TristanPope 8 дней назад
For gaming this is not really the keyboard I would get. For school work at the sale price sure. It is only customizable with the lofree switches which are 4 tactile linear these new linear and silent. If you want something you can work on overtime a low profile is not it. Check out my Q6 or upcoming Q3 from Keychron or my even sooner epomaker videos coming soon. They are affordable full size and have a TON of customization. Low profile is niche.
