My first computer was laser 486 so I probably used this keyboard

I'm not sure how it works at other places but at the pretty large American company I work at circuit boards are laid out using a weird combination of metric and inches. There's even units that have names that make you think their metric but they aren't unless you've brushed up on your Latin.

I'm amazed and impressed that they got this to market.

A shame it seems to be no longer available; they only offer it in Mac layouts now which is... not suitable for my uses.

Got it... the sound reminds me of the 1978 movie The Medusa Touch staring Richard Burton. Beamspring reminds me of the noisy oscilloscope type machine at the very end.

has anyone seen a latency test on this board?

My, that's *hideous* ; I don't get this Lofree crap.

That thing honestly looks like someone took a laptop keyboard & frankensteined a keyboard together for regular computer use. Eww.

As a programmer that macro pad will be so funny to bind to ctrl c and ctrl v

this keyboard is for people with special need who can not move their hand side to side to type and people who use stick in their mouth to press keys to type.

This would be great in a laptop but fails as a standalone product

I like the font.

it's a really cool layout, would like to expand on it, my adding an extra 2 function keys and a "00, 0 and ./del" numpad layout to have a better arrow cluster on the numpad.

I like the lofree flow84 much more...

For an F version of this I would actually shell out a grand.

Isn't backtab shift+tab? Is that all that key does? Or is it some weird special key?

Gotta make a breaking bad themed board with these keycaps

8bitdo is doing great. I have the famicon edition and it's fantastic fully stock. And the wireless dongle communication? spotless and lasts like 2 months. Also - They now have amazing calculator/numpad for preorder and M version (after model m I suppose)

I feel like you should've tried it with full-size caps. But thanks. I was wondering what their 250$ keyboard is like. Going to go with NuPhy

When you mentioned backlighting, I was like "...WHAT backlighting?!?!"

8bitdo makes good controllers... not crappy little brother controllers.

I also really don't like split keyboards but I'm forced to use one. I get RSI with a regular keyboard I don't get it with these so I just have to adapt. Plus it means you can put one half on each side of a laptop and save space on the desk.

Hey chyros what keyboard kit would you recommend to put clicky switches in, something with a roomy plastic case, because 90% of the kits out there have noise dampening and other mods meant to dampen linear and tactile switches. Ideally something under $100. I was heavily considering the 8bitdo keyboard but was wondering if there are other options.

The fact it's glued together pisses me off so much

What the actual fuck is that font? If I used a font like that for a marketing piece (as that's my only professional qualification), I'd be immediately rejected because it's just wrong.

It has a waning, always a great start.

Indeed it's an "interesting" board (the inverted commas being made of expensive carbon fiber) but its design goals are muddled. Alas it's a rather academic curiosity that (to quote Indiana Jones) "belongs in a museum". As always though I'm glad you provide that keyboard museum in the form of your great reviews (including this one !) :-)

Damn this trailer fire 🔥

Those screws on the top edge are a terrible design. They are not going to be holding that top veneer in for very long.

You didn't talk about how 'thocky' or 'creamy' the switches are. That seems to be what the online keyboard community cares about these days. 🤷‍♂

I edge till she free my lo

the font is ugly af but i kinfa like it.

The keyboard of the guy she tells you not to worry about

1:02 - Sold me the video

6:20 liked the cherry

Warning, bad keyboard. First half of the video, nothing but praises. I know these are legitimate reviews with the pros and cons, I just thought it was kinda funny to have it put this way.

Gotta say, shitty keyboards are far more entertaining than the trillion iterations of TKL keyboards, which to me are more or less the same.

i bet they are pumped about sending you this keyboard now lol great review though, love the honesty!

9:50 people use typing as asmr for me this type of typing sound is reverse asmr it makes me uncomfortable what the hell am i listening to shut up

We're eating good tonight

the font looks like it was crushed under a hydraulic press, much like the font designer's brain. seriously how the hell could anyone look at that and think "ah yes, a good font"

I think I have left this comment once before, but I'm doing it again! Honestly, I appreciate you covering these keyboards. About a year ago I needed to start carrying a bluetooth keyboard with me. It was tough to find anything decent that didn't cost a millionty-billionty dollary-doos. In the end I went with a Keychron, which I like a lot, but it uses standard sized switches and keycaps so in the end it's about the size of 3 of these lofree keyboards stacked on top of each other. I wish I had more trusted reviews of low-profile keyboards for better decision making.

it actually sounds pretty good. Literally everything else is terrible though...

Your hands were more visible than the backlight

Well yeah 8bitdo is mainly known for their retro style game pads, which for a long time console gamer like myself does appreciate. And to their credit, they do make solid game pads for those of us who still can't get their heads around a keyboard and mouse for gaming (especially platformers, I cannot for the life of me can't get used to using a keyboard for them. As a console gamer since 1986 yeah I really struggle with a keyboard for those kinds of games.) First-person shooters? Yeah, no beating a keyboard and mouse there but for platformers? No sorry cant do it.

150 for a ten-keyless low profile with a shitty key cap typeface and abysmal illumination is just… hiiiiiiddeeeeooouuusss! no matter the switches or construction. Temu-garbage-bin if you can afford to fund the corrupt CCP for sharts like this. Edit: No wonder it’s geared for Mac users. More money than brains or hands.

I preordered this keyboard and got it a week later. Absolutely wonderful. The indents, the material, the switches, everything is great.

one tenth of a bucket of KFC? this thing won't fill me up, no good at all

fuck me with a toilet brush and a glass of mayonaise
