Story

 

The slimmer and lower profile design of low-profile keyboards should ideally offer a more comfortable typing experience. However, The current existing low-profile keyboards don’t really catch on with consumers, like lacking the smoother typing experience they should provide, or limited key travel and tactile feedback. When they try to upgrade their keyboards and customize them to fit their typing preferences, they often find limited options for modifications and upgrades in the market.

 

In today’s productivity-driven world, low-profile keyboards should excel in performance, offering a superior and smoother typing experience for extended use. Lofree understands the importance of enhancing the typing sensation of low-profile keyboards. Through extensive research, we have discovered that achieving an exceptional typing experience involves the seamless integration of key components like switches, gaskets, and more. This comprehensive approach ensures an optimal typing sensation beyond addressing a single issue.

 

Thus, Lofree has revolutionized switches by optimizing fundamental materials and overall structure, setting development standards, establishing parameter guidelines, and implementing a modulation scheme to deliver an unmatched switch feel. In collaboration with Kailh, a reputable factory renowned for precision switch development and extensive manufacturing experience, they have successfully transformed this innovative idea into a tangible reality.

 

 

Why do we need a low-profile keyboard? Compared to traditional mechanical keyboards, it’s more portable! Because of its slim and streamlined design. They take up less space on your desk and can easily fit into laptop bags. Also, It’s more comfortable! The shorter key travel distance of low-profile keyboards allows for quicker and more effortless typing, providing a superior typing experience compared to conventional keyboards, and minimizing discomfort and strain, particularly during extended usage.

 

Indulge in an unparalleled typing experience with Kailh Full POM Switches, the world’s first low-profile switch made entirely of POM material for self-lubrication and an ever-smoother feel over time. Get ready to effortlessly glide through your workday with ease.

 

Experience the ultimate typing pleasure with our self-lubricating switches. Their low friction ensures smooth and effortless keystrokes, accompanied by a satisfyingly crisp typing sound. As you embrace the joy of typing, our switches adapt and become even smoother over time, perfectly aligning with your unique typing style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To achieve the smoothest keyboard experience, simply addressing switch-related issues wasn’t enough. That’s why we turned to the widely-used gasket mount found in traditional mechanical keyboards. By seamlessly integrating the switches and reducing keypress harshness, we’ve created a more comfortable typing sensation. Despite the challenge of compact low-profile keyboards, Lofree has successfully combined these two elements to create the perfect keyboard – the Flow. It features smooth switches combined with gasket dampening, providing an exceptional typing experience.

 

Revolutionize your typing experience with the world’s first gasket-mount low-profile keyboard. Enhanced cushioning and even pressure distribution that the gasket mount brings, help you enjoy a truly sleek, precise, and incredibly comfortable typing experience.

 

 

The quality of PBT keycaps is determined by the percentage of PBT content. To ensure the utmost quality, Lofree has meticulously crafted keycaps with a PBT content of 85% or higher in our own factory, specifically for the Lofree Flow keyboard. 

These keycaps utilize an advanced dye sublimation process, known as “five-sided dyb-sublimation,” which surpasses ordinary double-shot techniques. This process allows for vibrant and highly detailed patterns to be printed on the keycaps, ensuring a visually appealing and durable keyboard.

 

Whether you’re typing up reports, writing creative pieces, or engaging in intense gaming sessions, the PBT low-profile keycaps deliver a seamless and enjoyable typing journey. Let your ideas flow freely with every keystroke.
