There is very little on the market today that dedicates itself to one thing as the Lofree 1% does to being transparent, and in this regard it gets my respect. The cost is on the higher side of average no doubt, although Lofree likely does not expect to sell a lot of units and the material composition and design add to the cost, too. Where else would you find a keyboard using polycarbonate for the case and keycaps, a high-gloss plating on the ABS bottom case panel, and even unique transparent Kailh mechanical switches? Combine this with the hybrid wireless connectivity and extensive onboard controls and there's a lot to like in this 65% layout keyboard that is a light show like no other. I wonder what would have been had Lofree gone with bottom-facing LEDs on the underside of the PCB, and had them all be RGB LEDs, too!

What I would have also wanted is Lofree actually getting the basics on par with other such premium keyboards, including hot-swappable switches for those wanting to try other such clear switches with tactile feedback perhaps, or even simply lubed stabilizers and tighter tolerances on the custom-made keycaps over the switch stems. Then there are the two separate Fn switches distinguished by position and color, with the manual the only thing identifying them to make the most of the pre-programmed controls. Making this a compromise in more ways than one is the lack of software control and key mapping of any sort, too. The Lofree 1% offers a very specific aesthetic and feature set that will please many and have even more look into it further out of interest, so while it is not exactly to my liking, I can certainly appreciate that others would love it for obvious reasons.
