In May of last year, I reviewed the Lofree Flow and concluded that it was one of, if not the very best, low profile keyboard you could buy in sound and feel. That still stands today, nearly a year later, but a new challenger has entered: the Lofree Edge.

I share this because I’ve consulted with the PR team (me personally, not MMORPG) handling this launch and will not be reviewing it. I made it clear that they could not count on any review from MMORPG.com, from myself or anyone else, if I was brought in to consult,
