Build Quality and Design

The keyboard features a transparent PC case with photoelectric plating on the bottom shell, making internal components visible. This design is patented and uses high light-emitting PC material, which may appeal to users interested in aesthetics and build transparency. The keyboard weighs just over 800 grams, providing a stable typing platform without being overly heavy.

Connectivity

Lofree 1% supports both wired and wireless connections. Bluetooth mode enables pairing with computers, MacBooks, and mobile devices, offering convenience for multi-device users. The Type-C wired mode ensures a stable connection and charging simultaneously.

Trade-offs

• The Kailh Jellyfish linear switches prioritize smoothness over tactile feedback, which may not suit users who prefer clicky or tactile switches.
• The white backlighting lacks RGB customization, limiting personalization options.
• Keycap material is PC plastic, which may feel different from more common PBT keycaps in terms of texture and durability.
• Firmware or key remapping capabilities are unknown, which could limit customization for advanced users.
