Mold can cause watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, itching, coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, headache, and fatigue. It's important to find the underlying sources of moisture and eliminate it before cleaning the mold.

I bought a Lofree Flow after seeing your original video on it and I have to say, its fantastic; got it on sale for around 120 USD and I've been really impressed by it. I thought battery life might be an issue with it because the manufacturer seemed to really stress this 40hr value, however, I've been using it every day at work and at home as my primary keyboard and in the last month + I've not charged it once, or turned it off. I just leave it on in BT mode all the time and toggle it between my work laptop and rig at home. I have no idea how much juice it has left but I wouldn't be surprised if it just kept ticking for months more. I've even been playing games like Helldivers 2 on it and thought it would be a bad experience being a BT board but its actually completely fine and I haven't bothered to reconnect my Logitech G815 Tactile

I have the NuPhy Air 75 and have done for about a year. I guess mine is an earlier model--it doesn't have flippy feet, but detachable ones that snap nicely to the bottom with magnets. They also conveniently become lost forever within days. It's my "couch keyboard" because it can give me reliable 2.4 GHz connectivity to my gaming/media PC, or bluetooth for an iPad. Also quite nice for travel. It also did not come with any waifu stickers. What the hell, NuPhy. One feature you didn't mention is the hardware mac/windows switch, which I have found very handy. Don't know if the Lofree does that or not.

I got Keychron K5 Pro few weeks ago, with additional layer or sound dampener and lubed gateron brown lp v2, and it's been great. The sound is somewhat between Nuphy and Lofree (quieter than Nuphy, but more clacky than Lofree), but it feels _exactly_ how I wanted it to feel (I love old notebook switch feel, and was using Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard for years even though it had awful stickiness issues).

Great video Hipyo! Bought a Nuphy Air96 v2 w Wisteria switches. I’m not after Thock so can’t speak to that but the 96 size on low profile is a real upgrade over full sized keyboard. It’s a real joy to type on and I look forward to sitting down and cranking out words (not for gaming) and using it for spreadsheets etc. The only downside is there’s a learning curve for feeling the number keys and special keys bc they’re all jammed together for the 96 format, so it’s easy to mistype for a while until getting used to it. Definitely recommend.

Hi Hipyo, Nuphy keyboards have rgb leds under the switches, not only in those little leds. You can personalised it too. I have a Nuphy Air60 and it is a gamechanging when you have 2 pcs in your desk, so maybe you can work on one and then having the other showing you training or whatever. It is cool too to carry it to the office to have your own keyboard only touched by you. It has no weight at all, and it matched my gaming set up with pink leds when keypressing :D

I learned most of what I know about keyboards from your videos. I watch others too, but yours are the ones that made me comfortable ripping a board apart, lubing it, etc. I know where your stand on the Keychron lineup. I run the K3 Pro (the Max didn't exist when I purchased, I'll grab one eventually). I love I mean love low profile keyboards. I actually run 3 types of switches, red, brown and blue depending on the key usage. I use blue for most of the perimeter so I know when I'm on the border. I use reds on all commonly used keys and browns on the ones like symbols that are not border keys or regular use keys. I'm in the 100 wpm club. Not the fastest out there, but the type that gets comments when I type. Love your videos. But I 'am' your nemesis. Lol. I'm a Keychron fan.

My very first mechanical was a Cooler Master SK630 and I LOVED it for years. I had exclusively played on laptops for 18 years and I always fat fingered and messed up 80% of my keystrokes on standard sized keyboards. That was the first board I could comfortably type that was somewhere between a chicklet board and a standard mechanical. after living on that for 5 years and wanting to upgrade to my first custom I jumped onto a full layput Keychron and I've been using that since but I never could have transitioned my muscle memory to a normal keyboard without an in-between switch depth option. These are very much a necissary thing from an accessibility stand point for someone like me.

I had to replace the Keychron Red switches with Keychron Black, and then with Mint (which is like brown, but the tactile bump is wayyy higher and doesn't feel mushy because of it), because I rest my fingers on my keyboard and I kept pressing keys by accident. I also replaced the function keys and monifier keys (ctrl/alt/shift) switches with Keychron Orange, so I can hear a *click* whenever I press those - very nice :D

This was after doing zero research, so I really appreciate this video. I think the look and feel is fine. It was a bit louder than I would like when I’m sitting in a group (I already draw a lot of attention with my laptop stand and external keyboard (geez, who is this guy?)), so a bit of a quieter option would be nice. I’m excited to see that they’re expanding the low profile switch options though and I’m going to try to get my hands on some of those kailhs! Thanks for the rad video, Hipyo!

I'd like something a bit better than my Logitech MX keys which works fine but has mono backlighting that turns off when you take your hand away...this can be a PITA when gaming in the dark - but it is quietish. I really want RGB shine through caps so I can set different groups of keys to different colors. Thock does not rock for me, though. Now, if I could quieten down the Nuphy to MX keys level, I'd be a happy chappy.

Was leaning toward the LoFree initially, but even with the universally lauded typing feel, I just couldn't justify all the features you lose (VIA, 2.4Ghz, RGB, adjustable feet, mix-and-matching any color with any switch, etc.) vs. how much more it costs. Either way, appreciate the informative reviews, and congrats on the recent success with the AirUp vid!

Also, some feedback - It'd be nice to know when you review a keyboard not only if it's wired/wireless/bluetooth, but if the keyboard has a built in space to store the 2.4ghz dongle - the nuphy does not and that kinda annoys me. this finally made me break down and replace my venerable, clacky, dated feeling (but still 100% working like a champ) custom maxkeyboards board from nearly 15 years ago. I still kinda feel like I betrayed it. it worked fine, had the custom mix of red/brown/black switches placed strategically and a custom fixed LED color that I loved. Maybe I'll take the time to do it some justice - convert to USB-C, foam mod it, and solder in some new, better switches.

I've had the Nuphy for about two months, and have recently tried the Lofree. The Nuphy I really like, but longer term it has some issues. I move my keyboard around a lot, and those tiny little rubber feet tend to rip off easily, so I replaced them with some larger generic feet. I also experience lost keystrokes with mine in wireless mode. Now, to explain, I have tried the included dongle and Bluetooth. I've tried a really expensive powered hub, a high quality cable, and moving my PC to within a foot of my keyboard and plugging it directly into the motherboard... and using any wireless connection method it occasionally drops keystrokes. Wired it works flawlessly. I like the keyboard so much I've decided to keep it and use it plugged in, but in my experience their wireless implementation stinks. I accidentally ordered the wrong Lofree keyboard (I wanted the black one, ordered the white/linear one by accident). I tried it out, and while I REALLY like how it sounds, the white colorway simply doesn't work in my office. I have the correct one on the way, hopefully the tactile switches won't detract from the experience.

Where was this two years ago when I purchased my NuPhy lol I was looking for another low profile 65-ish % wired/wireless mechanical keyboard since desk space is at a premium for me! I was one of the early adopters of the NuPhy 65, and the first thing that I did with mine was to replace the gateron reds that came with it. I know that I will be crucified when I say that after a few switch tests I replaced my NuPhy switches to cherry blues lol I don't know why, but I really like the slightly hollow clack of the blues, and as a career pianist, it's much more satisfying for me to type on a lower profile keyboard where effort and efficiency is prime. The cherry blue switches tell me exactly when the attack on a key has been triggered and the feedback allows me to not have to press as hard when typing faster for longer. I would now like to try the Lofree, but I have a decent custom Anne Pro II that sports gateron browns. I swap between the two every couple of weeks or so depening on how I feel. I enjoy the customizability of the NuPhy at a moment's notice, but you have turned me onto something very comparable for not too too much more! :-D

I do love the nuphy - it's fun to type on and I love how portable it is, because sometimes I will take it out to a cafe and use it with my laptop stand to save my neck!

Hello HypioTech! Ive been watching your videos and i have been inspired to mod my first mechanical keyboard. I'm thinking of buying an RK61 and replacing the switches with some Akko silver V3 Pros which are for gaming. Then, im looking for a set of keycaps that can fit akko switches and that are nice but i haven't decided yet. If you have time, please give me some ideas of some keycaps under 50$ to buy that are cool and suitable for akko switches. Thank you. If i have something mistaken, please let me know.😊

Coincidentally, I was just looking at the lofree to use at work. Do more on low profile keyboards ❤

I think the serious issue with Keychron is the vast gulf of difference in quality and performance between the regular K low profile range and the K-Pro. Honestly, I had a K1 (now at home) and I cant wait to bin it. My K1-Pro that I bought for work has been stock very nice with red switches for an office job. Needing a Numpad soon so hoping Keychron pull the thumb and make a southpaw K-Pro Low profile, or upgrade their K17 (Nuphy Air96) competitor to the 2.4ghz Max version. I prefer the look and layout of Keychron but Nuphy has been very tempting.

I had the Air65 v2 and I loved everything about it EXCEPT the fact I would always make typos while typing with it. I'm asking if any others have this issue? I have a feeling its due to its' non standard bottom row...

Would love to see someone try filing full size keycaps down to fit a low profile board, as I have a lovely set of keys but a slim board would be more convenient...

Hi Hipiyo, I really like you to answer a few things for us: 1. Can we fit nuphy keycaps on lofree (nuphy shine through) 2. Can we fit lofree switches in nuphy ? 3. Which among the lofree switches is better ? Phantom or ghost ? Looks like no company makes the ideal keyboard for office? Office keyboards should be ideally: 1. Low profile, quiet, yet tactile 2. Full size keyboard (like lofree flow 100/nuphy air96 v2) 3. Shine through keycaps with backlight for evening or late night work! Is this too much to ask for!

I'm still waiting for a good low profile keyboard with an ISO layout. I haven't been able to find a single one (apart from the few Keychron ones that still don't include the 2.4 Ghz wireless option). Can't wait for literally any manufacturer to release one to finally be able to try them out.

@dundar888 2 ай бұрын

The Keychron K3 Max has an ISO variant and 2.4GHz but I haven't tried it so I can't vouch for it.

I love my Nuphy Halo and air v2. I also got the wisteria switches for my air. I am curious what the air would feel and sound like with the Kailh low profile switches.

@guestdroner6757 Ай бұрын

I currently own Keychron K3 - optical with brown switches. Any recommendations for low profile keyboard, under $100, with a volume control knob and heaven/creamy typing experience and sound? Am I asking for too much? :)

I have had a Halo96 KB for about a year w/ Gateron brown switches. I likies. I totally get the Kaihl switch love though. I'm a numpad supporter so Lofree wasn't an option for me. Just got an Air96 this weekend. Typing on it now with Wisteia switches. Not bad at all so far for me. In regards to the LED's not being bright...Hyppo did ya increase the brightness or left them at default levels? They are pretty bright to me at max. You do drain the batteries though a bit quicker. Thanks for the vid. Edit: Ok apparently I dont know what I am talking about. Lofree has 96% KBs lol @ wasnt an option. Sry about that.

I have both the Keychron K1 and the Lofree Flow. For starters, I have no idea how people use normal height mechanical keyboards, I get wrist pain with the ones I tried. Then I tried the K1. The K1 I only used it for about a year, mostly general use, game dev + deep rock galactic. I found that with the K1 I tend to make far more typing/wasd mistakes. No idea why. The Lofree though, only about 2 weeks in. I make far less typing mistakes with it. BUT. The arrow keys and home/insert island on the K1? I really miss those. I can easily find the delete key or page up/down keys in the dark with the K1. Not so with the lowfree. If I had to use the arrow keys frequently, I would likely return the lofree. Even just the backspace key is difficult to find, though its getting better as my muscle memory gets going. I think both keyboards are excellent options, and being I don't really care about keyboards that's about all I can share. Mow!

2 years ago, I bought my Keychron K3 and i just cant get tired of typing on it. The feel is smooth and sounds very clean. Wouldn't change it for any other keyboard, the only one im intrested on are the Air75 from Nuphy, they look sooo good! Definitely my next buy are gonne be those

Another feature that nuphy low profile keyboards have is that they can fit snugly on laptop keyboards without pressing down keys. Currently using a nuphy air 60 to "replace" my mac butterfly keys

I’d love to see more low profile reviews! Enjoyed this one a lot, and agree with your conclusions. I have the flow w/linear and nuphy w/cowberry, I never use the nuphy. The lofree became my daily driver and is both luxurious feeling as well as reliable, with battery life that is perfectly fine for a work week. I have a few normal-height keyboards, but after typing on Mac laptops daily for over 10 years the low-pro’s just suit me better. Would love to try the Razer deathstalker (Razer RGB is fun). Anyone have other recommendations?

I just got my Lofree about 2 weeks ago and I’m glad to report they fixed the “shine through” Keycaps and all the other issues people were having like the weird dent in the back and gaps and whatnot. I have had 0 problems with it!

And yes, I did get the linear switches so it’s the board that’s silver with white Keycaps
