Lofree Flow2 and Hyzen keyboard product rollouts

Overview

In June 2026, Chinese peripheral maker Lofree Culture Co. announced its low‑profile mechanical keyboard Flow2 for Mac, designed to match Apple’s MacBook Neo colour palette. Offered in 84‑key and 100‑key versions with aluminium bodies and Kailh Cloud switches, it entered reservation sales in Japan on 10 July through distributor Sanyo Gōdō Kaisha at prices between ¥33,000 and ¥35,200. The Flow2 features a touch‑bar for volume and brightness control, supports VIA key‑remapping, and is available in Silver, Brush, Citrus, and Indigo.

By mid-July, the company’s high‑end Hyzen hybrid keyboard, which combines magnetic and mechanical Nexus switches, successfully closed its Kickstarter campaign. Priced at $299 for the tri‑mode wireless version and $279 for the wired model, the Hyzen features a CNC‑machined aluminium case and per‑key RGB lighting. While reviewers noted its performance rivals brands like Razer and Logitech, they cited concerns regarding its premium price and subtle tactile feel in magnetic mode.

Following the scheduled mid-August shipment window for the Flow2, technical reviews emerged. While the Flow2 was praised for providing an excellent typing experience that can increase speed, reviewers identified several design flaws, including an awkward side-mounted USB-C port, the lack of dedicated storage for the wireless receiver, a touch strip prone to accidental input, and a difficult VIA setup process. Despite these issues, the product remains a competitor to premium brands such as Keychron, NuPhy, and Logitech.
