Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you require a full-size keyboard with a number pad and value a solid aluminum build for a stationary desk, the Lofree Flow100 is the logical pick. If portability, desk space savings, and the versatility of a 2.4GHz wireless connection are higher priorities, the more compact and lightweight Lofree Flow Lite is the better option. Both deliver the core low-profile, gasket-mounted typing experience Lofree is known for.
