Earlier this year Lofree released the amazing 1% compact 65% mechanical Keyboard. While the name might distract some users, the keyboard actually got into the top-selling list for its unique design and amazing features. 1% Mechanical Keyboard brought us a completely new experience with a fully-transparent design. Right from the chassis to the keycaps and even the switches are transparent on the keyboard. Following its release, Lofree also launched a 1% Orange Soda limited edition mechanical keyboard with a combination of clean transparent and orange transparent keycaps. Today, Lofree held their Autumn Launch event where they have released an all-new variant for the 1% series, meet the all-new Lofree 1% Lost in the Desire Mechanical Keyboard launched officially for $229.99. Refer here for more information.

The 1% Lost in the Desire keyboard completely revamps the 1% series with its stunning misty design. The keycaps here retain the patented ergonomic shape and are treated with a milky white color that gives the keyboard a misty character. Lofree 1% Lost in the Desire keyboard looks as unique as the OG 1% but in a different way. While the OG 1% keyboard had a completely transparent look, the new 1% Lost in the Desire has got a milky white misty look. The latest 1% Lost in the Desire keyboard has got a silencing cotton-padded layer placed between the PCB plate and the bottom plate. This layer absorbs the keystroke's pressure and their sharp sound resulting in smooth keypresses with soft acoustics. The keyboard uses high-quality MX-Styled Kalih Jellyfish linear mechanical switches. The keyboard also has hot-swappable sockets allowing the users to easily replace the switches whenever required. Lofree 1% Lost in the Desire keyboard also has full-key conflict-free typing support allowing you to type flawlessly with no ghosting issues. The 1% Lost in the Desire keyboard has got dual-mode connectivity with support for wireless Bluetooth V5.1 and wired USB Type-C connectivity. The keyboard has a white led backlight with seven different pre-built effects.

If this had per key rgb, rgb underglow, and blank keycaps (but I own a few sets of blank. Foggy white keycaps so no big problem), this would be my dream keyboard since I love 65% (have to have my arrow keys) and foggy, translucent cases. Only problem is the price tag, I just cannot discern between cheap and expensive switches and cheap and expensive keyboards enough to warrant anything over $150-$175, especially without those RGBs, haha. Plus I love clicky switches (sue me) so I wouldn't want to be paying for linear switches just to immediately take them out and throw them away (I can't stand linear switches, feels like I'm typing on a mushy, membrane)

The slightly foggy, translucent keycaps look nice but I think the legends need to be reworked badly. Tai-Haos 30$ keycap kits have better looking legends.
