Product details
A Retro Statement Piece
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Built for the Modern Workflow

Connect seamlessly with Bluetooth 5.3 and pair up to three devices at once. For a zero-lag connection, use the included 2.4GHz wireless receiver. Or plug in with the included USB-C cable to type while you charge.
Warm, Ambient Backlighting
The keyboard features a cozy, warm-toned white LED backlight to match its retro aesthetic. Choose from 7 built-in lighting effects and 4 brightness levels to set the mood for your desk.
Long-Lasting Battery
A massive 4000mAh battery provides up to 14 days of average use with the backlight off, or up to 30 hours of continuous use with the lights on. It recharges in about 5 hours via USB-C.
