Whoever this helps, I got the lofree and hated every second of it. Sounds and aesthetics are pretty but I work for a living. No matter how much I practiced with the keyboard I couldn't get over 90% accuracy with my typing and no where near 80 words per minute. I returned it out of frustration alone. Alternatively other keyboards were great. I wish people would review typability beyond just sound. My personal experience
Always informative and as unbiased as possible! Love these comparison videos. Still extremely pleased with the Air75, has been my daily driver for a few months now 😊
I have been thiking which keyboard I should go and decided to go for lowfree flow. By comparing typing sounds, I prefer the lowfree much more than nuphy air75. Thank you for making this video it helps me a lots!
It's probably a good idea to mention NuDelta when talking abt NuPhy Air keybords. It's not comprehensive but gives you basic key mapping functionality which is really nice for mac shortcuts!
Hey man, I love your content and the way you break things down! I have a NuPhy Air60 for travel and really like the way it feels and sounds but I like the way these Lofree boards look too. Thanks for all your hard work!
Two quick updates! The Lofree flow is now for sale on Lofree's site and no longer on Indiegogo (affiliate link: semiprotech.link/lofree ) and the price has also increased to $159. Also, NuPhy has released the Air75 V2 which adds a bunch of upgrades including QMK/VIA, bigger battery, and lower latency on wireless connections (affiliate link: semiprotech.link/air75v2 ). I've made an updated comparison video with the Lofree Flow: th-cam.com/video/MIVPhLbLWEs/w-d-xo.html
I own both of these and construction of the Lofree Flow is way better than the Nuphy. I would hands down pick the Lofree over the Nuphy. The Lofree is a bit more expensive but feels a lot more solid than the other. And no extra noise from wobbly keys like on the Nuphy.
Another great comparison. Having both the Nuphy Air75 (brown) and the Air96 (Wisteria) I can say for me, the Wisteria are a great switch. The Air96 is what I take to work. 👌🏼
Thanks for another great review. I do like to sound of the Lofree better for sure but NuPhy is still the one to beat. I would cop it in a second if it came with the Twilight keys in shine-through.
uuuuuuuh that spacebar sound of the lofree :O Currently using a logitech MX mechanical mini with linear red and what really grinds my gears is that the keys make a metallic echo or sound after they spring back into position - hard to explain. Thanks for the video man!
I actually know exactly what you mean - I have an MX Mechanical Mini for Mac with the tactile switches and they sound pretty terrible to me. It's strange coming from a company that is generally going for mass-appeal with their products because I don't think you have to be a keyboard enthusiast to tell they sound unpleasant. I really wanted to like it but man, they are rough!
I've been looking for a low profile, mechanical, wireless keyboard and this vid came in really useful, as I now have a reference to help my buying choice, so thank you for the work done here. If I could get the sound of the Lofree with the keycap legends and connectivity of the NuPhy Air 96 (I need the numpad) in a charcoal black, I'd be happy. They both look really well made. IMO the missing support for kb layouts outside of the US is a poor design ommission and limits their appeal to bigger markets. I also think that the function row should be set to operate the media settings as the default, rather than having to push the function key to access them. And they they really need better feet for people to angle the kb as required.
Hey, thanks for your amazing videos surrounding this topic! I heard some weird things about the Lofree's function row. Some say they work as function keys and if you want to use them for volume/brightness etc. you have to hold fn, others claim the opposite. Can you tell me how it behaves when using a Mac? Thanks in advance!
Late reply but I just got my Lofree flow yesterday and can confirm that's how my fn row works too. Don't have a Mac though so won't be able to advise for that unfortunately
@@Shirley36 I could've replied to myself bc i got one too in the meantime 😂 Out of the box my function row worked as expected when using a Mac. However, I was scared to change any settings and holding fn + a function button does the same thing as when I'm not pressing it. So I'm still a bit confused.
I don’t know about the Lofree, but you can technically use non low profile key caps with the nuphy, you’ll just have less travel distance so that’s worth considering.
Leaning towards the Lofree, only because I may loose those feet while traveling... In your opinion what keys (linear or tactile) will be quieter for an office environment?
linear is more quieter than tactile. But even though linear keys, they are still noisy in office environment. Mechanical keyboards can't be helped.😢 I think the quietest one is the low-noise red switch though.
Do you know if its possible to fit the Nuphy switches (Gateron I think?) into the Lofree Free keyboard (Kailh POM switches). The pin design looks similar but also slightly different, not sure without having the switches in front of me for comparison?
Well that would mean it does not look better if you think the caps are boring. Your comment is contradicting. One clearly has key caps that are less boring.
Totally can't understand people travelling with mechanical keyboards. You already have a keyboard on your laptop if you want to be portable, you don't need another one!
It’s about the experience. I have never used mechanical keyboards, but I used to hate the keyboard on some of the laptops I owned, so I would carry around a magic keyboard.
I carry it with for my Samsung tab s9 ultra, rather spend the money towards a nice low profile keyboard instead of the $300 keyboard case. Pair that with an mx anywhere 3s mouse and you're good.
@@Jingz251 but this keyboard weighs 1.5 times more than your tablet, feels more logical to have a laptop IMO (if you care about portability at all, of course)

Thank you! Glad your enjoying the Air75, it definitely gets a lot of things right!
The Nuphy air 75 v2 (newer version) that is open for preorder now has improvements in the right areas
Agree! The V2 is awesome. I have a review coming very soon!
I love the look of the Flow, but the lack of customization kind of kills it. I still love the design a lot and want one though at some point.
I have been thiking which keyboard I should go and decided to go for lowfree flow. By comparing typing sounds, I prefer the lowfree much more than nuphy air75. Thank you for making this video it helps me a lots!
I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the review!
LoFree no question. Wow 🎉
Build, sound,, feel.
And now with NuPhy Air75 V2 - they likely jump ito the lead. Easier to get and cheaper and lots of custom options.
Thank you for this video!! I just stumbled on the low free and needed a direct comparison with the nuphy.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Air75 V2 is out and solves the OG Air75 disadvantages.
I'm excited for V2!

Please i would like you to make a comparison video between the nuphy 75v2 vs the lofree when the nuphy is out
great video! didn't know lofree made such a similar keyboard.
Thank you!

Thank you! I agree the Wisteria switches are a nice change of pace from regular browns.
Great content, I'll subscribe!

Also Nuphy saw the competition and has come out with the nuphy 75v2, I just preordered
compare them with the Visless lp85 too, pretty much the same form factor

100% Nuphy bc the Lofree one is always on an angle and that sucks imo.

how about a review of Infiverse keyboard: Infi75?
Hi, will you do a giveaway for the Flow? 😊
Are Kailh's other low profile switches, such as the low profile red, compatible with the LoFree?
Can you use NeuPhy's keycaps on the Lofree?
i also want to know. nuphy colors are the best
nuphy colors are the worst. for some anime children@@quantum_ocean
Can the keycap on nuphy put on the flow and vice-versa?
Yes, they both use low profile MX style keycaps and they are interchangeable.
the flow has better sounds miles compared to the air. i wish i saw this video sooner. i bought the air by the way.
i think they still bit too thick to me called low profile KB
Lofree flow is impossible to use over Bluetooth, it lags horribly. Very disappointed.
I bought both because I have an addiction
And which do you prefer?
do either of these keyboards support regular cherry stem (non low profile) key caps?
I don’t know about the Lofree, but you can technically use non low profile key caps with the nuphy, you’ll just have less travel distance so that’s worth considering.
Leaning towards the Lofree, only because I may loose those feet while traveling...
In your opinion what keys (linear or tactile) will be quieter for an office environment?
linear is more quieter than tactile. But even though linear keys, they are still noisy in office environment. Mechanical keyboards can't be helped.😢 I think the quietest one is the low-noise red switch though.
Can I ask you where did you find your desktop wallpaper?
Sure! It's from Basic Apple Guy basicappleguy.com/basicappleblog/os-x-rancho-cucamonga
@@semiprotech thank you so much
Damn, why can't we merge the two! haha
Do you know if its possible to fit the Nuphy switches (Gateron I think?) into the Lofree Free keyboard (Kailh POM switches). The pin design looks similar but also slightly different, not sure without having the switches in front of me for comparison?
can you put the nuphy keycaps on the lofree?
Yes you can! Low profile MX keycaps will work on the Lofree.
Backlit keyboard without shine through keys are the dumbest.
but nuphy air v2 JUST announced haha
Yes! Already another one to compare, I'm excited!
The lowfree looks and sounds better. Keycaps are boring though
Well that would mean it does not look better if you think the caps are boring. Your comment is contradicting. One clearly has key caps that are less boring.
wait it doesn't have 2.4ghz, only slow ass bluetooth? what's even the point of comparing these then 😂
Nuphy was never even an okay keyboard
