Business Transparency: How we operate?

As a small UK business, we handle every order ourselves — no dropshipping. We curate what we sell, pack orders with care, and stand behind everything we ship, so you receive exactly what you ordered and in the condition you’d expect.

To spread our logistics across two continents, we hold our best sellers in stock in both the UK and our warehouse abroad, managed by our co-owner Russel in Hong Kong. Less common products are sourced on demand from suppliers we trust, which keeps prices fair without warehousing slow-moving stock. Your order ships from wherever it’s in stock and closest to you — so the dispatch time shown on each product listing tells you whether it’s ready for same-day dispatch or needs a little extra time before shipping.

We also pride ourselves on providing the best customer support possible. When you contact us, you’ll always be speaking directly to one of the three people who run this business — no automated bots, no outsourced call centres, just real help from people who know and love the products we sell.

A Statement for Your Desk

Desk centerpiece. Writing tool. Style statement. A keyboard is more than just an input device—it’s an extension of your space, and you deserve one that feels just right for the task at hand. The Lofree 1970s isn’t designed to be a flashy, gamified peripheral. Instead, it offers a different kind of performance—one rooted in tactile comfort, acoustic satisfaction, and an aesthetic that inspires you every time you sit down to type.

A Statement for Your Desk

The Heart of the Feel: Gasket Mount

On any keyboard, the typing feel is what matters most. On the Lofree 1970s, that feel is defined by its gasket-mounted structure. Instead of a rigid frame, the internal plate is suspended between soft, elastic dampeners. This isolates the plate from the case, creating a cushioned, flexible response with every keystroke. In practice, this design choice does two things. It softens the impact when you bottom out a key, reducing finger fatigue during long writing sessions. It also refines the acoustics, absorbing any harsh, metallic pings and allowing the clean, deep sound of the switches to come through. The result is a typing experience that is less rigid, more comfortable, and acoustically satisfying.

The Heart of the Feel: Gasket Mount

Custom-Tuned Performance

The keyboard arrives ready to type with custom Lofree x Gateron Linear Switches. Co-engineered for a smooth, uninterrupted keystroke, they feature a perfectly balanced 45g actuation force that prevents accidental presses while remaining light and responsive. The switch stems are made from self-lubricating POM, a material that ensures the keys feel even smoother and silkier with continued use. For those who want to experiment, the board is fully hot-swappable. The PCB features premium 5-pin sockets, allowing you to easily pull out the stock switches and install your own favorites—whether they’re tactile, clicky, or a different linear—without any soldering.

Custom-Tuned Performance

A Modern Take on Typewriter Keys

The Lofree’s "Dot" keycaps pay homage to classic typewriter keys, but with a refined modern geometry. A traditional square base tapers into a generously sized circular top, a unique shape that maintains maximum surface area for typing accuracy while creating a distinct vintage silhouette. They are built from a durable double-shot PBT and PC combination. The outer PBT layer resists the shine and wear that comes from oils on your fingertips, while the matte texture provides a satisfying grip. When the warm backlight is active, it shines cleanly through the front-facing legends for a striking, functional look.

A Modern Take on Typewriter Keys

Engineered for Comfort and Sound

A multi-layered internal structure with sound-dampening foam and a flexible gasket mount isolates each keystroke for a softer, deeper, and more satisfying sound profile.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

Love this keyboard. Charge lasts for ages. Also loving the tactility and the various back light (spot on level of brightness, too) options. It's not really a criticism, but I did wish the keys felt a little heavier. To be honest, with that, I think it's more just adapting to the keyboard change. Highly recommend.
