Good little keyboard but with some flaws
May 14, 2025

Overall the keyboard looks and feels nice, but there are some issues where sometimes the key "ASWD" doesn't respond and have to unplug and replug the USB for it to work again. To change the keyboard settings, you have to go through the Web app to make/apply changes which is a bit annoying. Overall I would say is an okay budget keyboard for magnetic switch with some software flaws.

Brilliant experience
May 15, 2025

Brilliant no complaints, fast reliable bit of kit, have not stopped playing it since received, highly recommended for retro gamers as you can download your own games and add to it as well

AJAZZ REVIEW
May 1, 2025

I initially was looking for an ergonomic keyboard that fit with my desks aesthetic. I wouldn't give this keyboard a high rating for his ergonomic build but overall I love it. My keyboard arrived faster than expected. It was easy to assemble and so far almost 4 months into using it I have experienced no issues.

Love the keyboard, wish it shipped faster
April 28, 2025

Really love my new Lofree keyboard. It took quite a while to arrive. Makes me hesitant in ordering other items I'm interested in. But it was still within their 15 working days estimate so it's fair enough. Three stars is-due to the over two weeks delivery time. Ordered 18th March, arrived 7th April. Otherwise I would have given five stars..

Not for PUBG
March 19, 2025

The remote can't enable PUBG to work, even though some of the reviews showed that it does
Did not find the games that work with it to be anything to write home about in a sense it's lying in a box and not being used

Great service and fantastic product quality!
March 5, 2025

Customer service were fantastic all throughout the shopping experience, prompt and direct with their responses. No fluff, no smoke and mirrors and will likely purchase another product.
Delivery time is "long" compared to what we are used to nowadays always expecting next day deliveries, but for the money I saved waiting a few days didn't hurt!

Placed an order for 1 device, immediately realised I wanted a different device. Contacted them via email requesting the swap and they said sure it'll be no problem. Confirmed the swap. My order was swapped from priority processing into normal processing which I considered fair because they had to do extra leg work to amend my order. I received no updates for over a week, and contacted them seeking an update, and received an email after a few days saying that my device would be shipped in 5-8 business days I waited 10 business days and got in touch with them, and they said it would be shipped shortly and apologised for the inconvenience, offering me a £5 discount for the delay (this discount never materialised). Once the package finally arrived over a month after placing my order, it was the wrong device. They had just sent the one I initially ordered, no effort to swap as discussed. Would not recommend purchasing from them unless you have no other option. UPDATE: I have been instructed by their customer service that I should commit fraud in my customs declaration for the return item, and that I will be liable for the customs charges. Absolutely pitiful. Unedited returns instructions: "Return Instructions: Please indicate your order number on the outside of the return package. 1) Return the item with the original box, cable, and charger. 2) Use a local shipping provider to ship the item back to us (do not use EMS, DHL, UPS, or FedEx). 3) Carefully wrap the item with bubble wrap to ensure it does not get damaged during shipping. 4) Declare the item as "Keyboard" and declare the item value as $17.5) Send us the tracking number (we will notify you when the package arrives). Please note: During return shipping, the customer is responsible for any customs fees, duties, or tariffs during the return trip to our warehouse. In these cases, we will deduct the customs duties from the refund amount you authorize." DO NOT BUY FROM WHATGEEK

Good service, good product
March 22, 2025

Had no idea when the product was going to be delivered, but got here in the end. Great product (although I keep it wired and need to unplug/replug it in every day - mabes customer support would contact me?). Basically, all good with reservations.

I like my device. Unfortunately there are no instructions available for connecting the 2x wireless handsets and/or micro hdmi to the tv, contesting can play on a larger screen.
