Lofree asserts that its latest product is "extremely thin" compared to the average "all aluminum" mechanical keyboard. Nevertheless, it still accommodates "highly acclaimed" Full POM switches from Kailh that are, moreover, hot-swappable and paired to custom keycap layouts. The Flow also integrates an "innovative" Gasket Mount system and can be used in wired or wireless modes.

Lofree touts its new Flow keyboard as a particularly "low-profile" exponent of its mechanical category, with just 10 millimeters (mm) of height and a "3.9-degree tilt". Nevertheless, it still packs a "Gasket Mount Design" for a potentially "smooth" typing experience, found under equally slim switches that are also the world's first to be "made entirely of POM material, providing self-lubrication and an ever-smoother feel over time".

They are made by Kalih, and have been made available to the Lofree Flow in 3 different variants: linear ("Ghost"), tactile ("Phantom") and clicky ("Wizard"). The keyboard's Black colorway has a full set of Phantoms by default, while its White model ships with Ghosts - however, potential buyers can buy additional switches to mix and match them on either SKU to their heart's content and on the fly.

Lofree has also made alternative keycap sets available, which are also treated with a "5-sided dye-sublimation" process touted to surpass the double-shot technique in terms of looks and longevity. The Flow is also equipped with RGB side-lighting, not to mention both Bluetooth and a USB type-C port to enhance the "versatility" of its use.

The Lofree Flow is currently available via its OEM's website at a price of US$159, with a release to Amazon planned for October 2023.
