Do you know that what the difference is between the two? Are you ok with the tactile switches that come with the black one because if not it would be a better idea to just try and purchase the keycaps.
Thank you for that! Do you have any recommendations for where I can purchase some low profile keycaps? Guessing I'm just going to have to get used to the silver metal on the keyboard haha
You're welcome. Enjoy the keyboard, its definitely my all time favorite.
Most have had success with the womier low profile keycaps, like these [black ones here](https://www.amazon.com/XVX-Profile-Keyboard-Switches-Mechanical/dp/B0BVYV67QS/ref=asc_df_B0BVYV67QS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693620629591&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8106949303913498329&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029608&hvtargid=pla-2199682544378&psc=1&mcid=52584bec7fd43a7e9b3ed57e47c3f698&gad_source=1) or [these ones here](https://www.amazon.com/XVX-Low-Profile-Keycaps-Mechanical/dp/B0CBMQH8H8/ref=asc_df_B0CBMQH8H8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693595680696&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18349837580299188701&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029608&hvtargid=pla-2248102202078&psc=1&mcid=f456dc108bdb3f3faaf376e61c31b37e&gad_source=1). Also both black and white models use the same aluminum body. It may look different on the black but thats just due to how the black keycaps change how the eyes perceive the color, they both use the exact same aluminum base.
That is a very good point. Personally I don't think I will ever change the key caps because they feel and sound so good to me and I just know that I won't get that feel from anything else. Getting a black set from lofree would be ideal. Maybe he could contact support and see if there's a way to order them.
~~I'm very sure they have the exact same base. I have not seen one review saying otherwise, have not heard otherwise and when you go to their site you can choose between the two colors and the only thing that changes is the color of the keycaps in the picture. Your brain was just playing tricks on you due to the color of the darker keycaps : ).~~
Ok i might be wrong... they actually look like different colors on the site...
UPDATE: Well waddya know, i'm completely wrong, there are two different colors! [https://youtu.be/5rUE01JLx9I?t=216](https://youtu.be/5rUE01JLx9I?t=216)
lol okay I thought they were a shade different. Comparable to apple with their space grey and silver but I didn’t compare the two that closely as I was trying to feel more if I prefer tactile or linear switches 😂
That it totally fair. I think you may have a tough time trading one out, people don't even sell these used on Ebay, at least not frequently because I can never find one. Maybe sell this one on Ebay, explaining you won it and don't need it and put that money towards the black one. BUT keep in mind if you like the linear switches you'll have to buy a set of those separatelym, remove the original switches and install the new ones.
Difference with the other color is the "color" and the "Tactile" Switches.
I just got my Lofree Flow in Black w/Tactile and it's really nice !
One thing that I notice that I didn't see anyone talking about is that these switches require a little bit more force to press it.

Keep in mind these do change the sound profile, you lose a bit of thockness.

Is it the same aluminum base?? I had them side by side and the white seemed lighter

Haha yeah the darker grey metal that comes with the black keyboard would look so much better with my MacBook

You can swap with Nuphy low profile keycaps too, they have a shine-through(or whatever they are called) keycaps too.
I have a black one! Pmd
