The Lofree Flow 2 keyboards are low-profile wireless mechanical keyboards with aluminum cases. They use a gasket mount with multiple layers of dampening material, which gives them a slightly softer, more cushioned typing feel than stiffer tray-mounted designs. They support wireless connectivity over a 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth and are compatible with VIA for key remapping and customization.
Lofree offers this keyboard in 68, 84, and 100-key sizes. We've tested the largest Flow 2 100 model. For more details, see the Differences Between Variants section.
Our Verdict
The Lofree Flow 2 boards aren't primarily designed for gaming, but they're still great options for casual or even competitive play. They offer excellent overall latency performance and support a 1000Hz polling rate over wired or 2.4GHz wireless connections. The build quality is superb, with factory-lubed mechanical switches and stabilizers, and a refined gasket-mount implementation adds a small degree of cushion when bottoming out your keys. Their low-profile design also makes them comfortable to use for long sessions without worrying about needing a wrist rest. While they feature backlighting and shine-through keycaps, the lighting is white-only, which may be a drawback if you prefer matching RGB across your setup.
Excellent single-key and very good multi-key latency.
Remarkable build quality.
Low-profile design is comfortable without a wrist rest.
Higher and less consistent latency than dedicated gaming keyboards; negligible in-game impact but may slightly limit your competitive ceiling.
Minor quality control concerns. See Build Quality for details.
The Lofree Flow 2 keyboards are well-suited for office work. They offer remarkably good build quality, with a premium-feeling anodized aluminum case, very stable factory-lubed switches and stabilizers, and a gasket mount that adds a slight cushion to typing. Their low-profile design makes them comfortable to use without a wrist rest, and they support wireless connectivity over a 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth. That said, the tactile switch option can be on the louder side, though quieter linear and silent linear switches are available if you work in a noise-sensitive environment.
Superb typing quality.
Remarkable build quality.
Low-profile design is comfortable without a wrist rest.
Connects with a 2.4GHz receiver or via Bluetooth for multi-device pairing.
Somewhat loud typing noise if you choose the tactile switch option.
Minor quality control concerns. See Build Quality for details.
The Lofree Flow 2 keyboards are suitable for tablet or mobile device use. They support Bluetooth pairing with up to three devices at once. While we tested the largest 96% variant, they're also available in two smaller sizes, including a compact 65% option that's easier to move around a home or office. Build and typing quality are both superb, but the solid aluminum case makes them relatively heavy for their size, and clearly designed for stationary desktop use rather than portability.

The Lofree Flow 2 keyboards are excellent for programming. They offer very strong build and typing quality, with a solid aluminum case, a slightly cushioned gasket mount, and factory-lubed switches and stabilizers that feel smooth and satisfying to type on. The low-profile design stays comfortable during long typing sessions without a wrist rest, and white backlighting with clear legends makes the keys easy to read in the dark. You can also record macros and adjust other expected settings using VIA.

The Lofree Flow 2 keyboards are adequate for an entertainment or home theater PC setup. They offer remarkably good build quality and connect wirelessly over a 2.4GHz receiver or via multi-device Bluetooth pairing. White backlighting and shine-through keycaps make the legends easy to read in the dark. They're available in several sizes, including a compact 65% option that's more comfortable to use from the couch. However, the all-aluminum construction makes them relatively heavy for their size, and while they support media key shortcuts, they don't have dedicated media keys.

These keyboards have great raw performance. They offer excellent single-key latency and very good multi-key latency with a 1000Hz polling rate over wired or 2.4GHz wireless connections. They're more than suitable for casual or competitive gaming, though they don't support advanced features like adjustable actuation or higher polling rates, which may be an important consideration for you if you play games at a high competitive level and are interested in getting any marginal performance advantage possible.

Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The Lofree Flow 2 keyboards continue Lofree's Flow series of low-profile, wireless mechanical keyboards and introduce some meaningful changes over earlier Lofree Flow84/Flow100 and Lofree Flow Lite84/Flow Lite100 boards. These include an anodized aluminum case, new Kailh low-profile switch options, a built-in touch bar for volume and brightness, VIA support, and a new 68-key size option.
The Flow 2 boards offer a noticeably more refined typing experience than many competing low-profile keyboards, including popular scissor-switch models like the Logitech MX Keys S. They also look and feel more premium than mechanical alternatives such as the budget-focused Keychron K Max series and mid-range options like the NuPhy Air75 V3. Whether that improved typing feel and finish justify the higher price depends on your priorities. Compared to more expensive custom keyboards, they’re a compelling middle ground, delivering a high-quality out-of-the-box experience without the cost, effort, or learning curve of a custom build.
The first unit we purchased had intermittent wired connectivity issues and required replacement. We cover this in more detail in the Build Quality section, along with other reported concerns such as spring ping. These issues aren't necessarily dealbreakers, but there may be a higher risk of receiving a unit with defects that require a return or replacement.
For other options, see our recommendations for the best wireless keyboards, the best keyboards for typing, and the best low-profile keyboards.
The NuPhy Air75 V3 and the Lofree Flow 2 are wireless, low-profile mechanical keyboards. The NuPhy has a plastic case but boasts full RGB backlighting, wider aftermarket switch compatibility, and slightly better gaming performance overall. The Lofree, on the other hand, is available in three different sizes and has somewhat better and more premium-feeling build quality with a solid aluminum case design. However, it only has white backlighting and uses relatively more limited VIA configuration software.
The Lofree Flow84/Flow100 keyboards are earlier models in the Flow series, while the Lofree Flow 2 models are newer and come in 84, 100, and a new 68-key size. The Flow 2 keyboards feel more premium because they use a solid aluminum case. They also have larger batteries with longer advertised battery life, and they support VIA software, while the original Flow models don't support any configuration software.
Both the Logitech MX Keys S and the Lofree Flow 2 are low-profile wireless keyboards. The Logitech has a more traditional full-size layout with all expected keys, and it uses scissor switches that provide a typing experience similar to a laptop. It's also much thinner and lighter, has significantly longer advertised battery life, and operates more quietly overall. The Lofree Flow 2 , by comparison, uses mechanical switches and delivers a more refined typing experience thanks to its pre-lubed switches and gasket-mounted design, which provides a slightly cushioned bottom-out. It also has noticeably more premium build quality with a CNC-machined aluminum case and pre-lubed switches and stabilizers.
The Keychron K5 Max and Lofree Flow 2 are both low-profile wireless mechanical keyboards. The Keychron is available in a wide range of sizes and key layout configurations. They also have better raw gaming performance, and they're available with full RGB backlighting, although the keycaps lack shine-through legends. By comparison, the Lofree keyboards are only available in three size variants, but they have noticeably better build quality and feel much more premium overall, with slightly more refined typing quality. They only have white backlighting, but the keycaps include shine-through legends, which makes them easier to read in darker rooms.
