I admire Lofree for making the Hyzen, the brand’s new dual mechanical/magnetic keyboard. Dual-socket boards are ambitious enough in concept, let alone full scale production. So it’s a brave move from a manufacturer consistently struggling with its firmware, software and reliability.
However… first some context. The Lofree Hyzen isn’t the first gaming keyboard with a dual mechanical/magnetic switch socket. Glorious got there already with the socket on the GMMK 3 HE ($199). Lofree has gone a step further by designing (with Kailh) a dual MX/TMR switch to go in its clever socket.
