TechRadar Verdict
The Lofree Flow Lite shows that a lower price doesnt have to mean lower quality.
Typing on the Flow Lite feels good for the most part.
Its admittedly a bit less intuitive than some rival keyboards apps, but it gets the job done.

The USB-C to USB-A cable is also now of the standard plastic, non-braided variety.
Finally, Lofree has cut the number of lighting effects from 16 to 8 compared to the Flow.
Interestingly, Lofree has actuallyaddeda few features to the Flow Lite that the regular Flow lacks.

The most noticeable example is the copper-toned volume roller in the top-right corner.
It is a little stiff, but its a useful extra regardless.
That makes choosing between the Flow Lite and the Flow more complex than simply wanting to save money.

Hopefully, Lofree will work these advancements into a successor to the Flow, if or when that arrives.
Whether you decide the trade-offs are worth it for the price cut will come down to your personal taste.
Right now, its available on Kickstarter, and will be sold on Lofrees website and on the companysAmazonstore.

Should you buy the Lofree Flow Lite?
You use both Windows and macOS
The Flow Lite comes with keycaps showing both Windows and macOS symbols.
It also lets you switch between the two systems respective keyboard layouts with a quick key combination.
The latter ditches the metal body, braided cable, and more for bring the price down.
That doesnt work for everyone.
That included writing articles, gaming, and generally using my computer throughout the day.
