The MOST RETRO Mouse EVER!!! | Lofree PBT Wireless Touch

Join our Discord! ►► / discord
This mouse is so incredibly strange. When I saw it on drop for under $60.00, I knew I needed it. Lofree is a company you've probably never heard of before. They have an... interesting history of manufacturing lifestyle PC peripherals. The Lofree Touch PBT Wireless is their first attempt at producing a retro-style mouse.
In this video, we tear apart the mouse and talk about all its different attributes and where this guy really shines. This one was definitely fun to film.
Do you guys think this mouse is neat? Would you use it? Let me know in the comments.

Finally a decent watchable review for this mouse. great job.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks man! I hope the make a newer version with a better sensor soon

[@iamhunterkane]

How does this video only have 250 views, the content quality is INSANE. You're gonna blow up soon enough, loved watching this video!

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks man! Comments like this keep me going! You made my day!!! 🙏

[@ar8dc]

you have a great amount of subscribers, imagine 921 people in your room !​@@TheRageAcademy

[@OOE1]

Yeah the other commenters are spot on, this is a killer review! And I just love mouse reviewers with solid movement in games, as I feel its a prerequisite for reviews. You didn't rate it bad because of its poor gaming use, but gave it solid critique and was a success for those who want that "retro look". Subbed!

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks man 🙏 you made my day

[@BrianVande]

Bought this mouse on Prime Day. Already impressed with your production. Subscribed.

[@KidScratchingHisHead]

brooo I thought you had like 1m subs holy cow this production quality is great! Subscribed!

[@TheRageAcademy]

You made my day! Thank you 🥰Comments like yours keep me going. We'll get to 1mil one day 😈

[@Shotbyha]

Boy I thought you got like 500k subs your quality is insane for such a small channel

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks man! In my wildest dreams we reach 500k. Here’s to hoping we hit 1k soon!!!

[@hunterwillems3135]

You made it! 🎉🎉​@@TheRageAcademy

[@TheRageAcademy]

We did it! 😊

[@Shotbyha]

​@@TheRageAcademy 2k already man keep your quality up the 500k are gonna come sooner or later

[@averyjames3179]

Quality of the video alone deserves a sub

[@TheRageAcademy]

🥰

[@MrMiniNuke]

Great video! Thanks for letting us know it’s not for gaming! You should review the keyboard as well! I’m looking for a be gaming keyboard with that satisfying *retro* click.

[@TheRageAcademy]

I’ve been looking for a retro keyboard for awhile now and I have one coming in that’s a modernish keyboard with retro keycaps from nuphy. Hopefully I’ll have that one out this year

[@juicyj4mie]

aw damn, i was really hoping that it'd actually sound like a mechanical keyboard. Thanks for the great review though! I'm sure you guys will be big in the future

[@TheRageAcademy]

Yeah man, I’m not gonna lie, I was really disappointed that it didn’t sound or feel like one. Thanks for the kind words man!

[@TheRageAcademy]

I got 1k 🫡😉

[@juicyj4mie]

@@TheRageAcademy the first thousand of many

[@ricky865]

The Block Retro Grey version is perfect to combine it with the upcoming 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard C64 Edition.

[@TheRageAcademy]

I just emailed them. Wish me luck 🤞

[@ian-hm6cx]

Came to KZbin to watch a more in-depth video after seeing this on TikTok. The tiktoker was very obviously not very into tech like you and I are, and when they said "the buttons are really weird" I immediately was like "THATS A KEYBOARD SWITCH!!!!" and the nerd that likes weird stuff almost bought it. Hearing you say it's just a regular mouse switch was heartbreaking lmao and then when you said to not use it for gaming I was shattered

[@TheRageAcademy]

Sorry to break your heart man! That's why I exist though. I'm real tired of the Tiktok tech review bros giving dishonest reviews on gaming related tech. They're all out for commission!!

[@dyXurChannel]

The video felt a bit like reading a reddit thread (with the humor and all), but it did clear up one question I had: Does it use keyboard or mouse switches? So yeah, thanks for the review! Saved me $50 - $70.

[@TheRageAcademy]

You’re welcome bud! That was the reason I originally got the mouse. It would have been so neat to see keyboard switches in this thing

[@jerome5969]

Hi, is the mouse wheel good for work/productivity use? It is really good looking mouse that I can pair with Cidoo V2 keyboard as they have the same color.

[@TheRageAcademy]

It’s about average for productivity. Only real downside is you can’t currently remap the side mouse buttons because the software doesn’t exist

[@jerome5969]

@@TheRageAcademy thanks for the info, it really helps. Actually I needed to remap one of the side button for screenshot which I used hundred times daily for work, perhaps I will hold buying the mouse for now. Btw your content is so great, keep it up. Thanks!

[@EG80]

Is that some LTT inspiration I'm picking up on?? This is the first time I've seen your stuff and honest to God I thoroughly enjoyed this video, a video that I only came to for the info on the mouse!! You come across very genuine 👍🏼

[@TheRageAcademy]

Ha! You’re the first person to notice my Linus Sebastian influence. LTT drama aside, he’s a great show host and I always liked the way he communicated with his audience. I’m glad you liked the video!

[@mickhead77]

the look sales it , in fact i just ordered one just because of it .

[@abrahammeneses6965]

I’m in it for gaming… quake 3 arena + retro mouse = I’m gonna die

[@TheRageAcademy]

lol, that 500hz polling is gonna get you

[@magnemattix]

I was so considering this mouse, as I’m planning on making a *retro* mechanical keyboard at some point and hoped I could find something to match the vibe. I guess I’ll just stick with my dark core pro

[@TheRageAcademy]

Looking for something retro but not behind in tech specs?

[@magnemattix]

@@TheRageAcademy yeah idk, I’ve seen a lot of neat pre built retro keyboards but I’ve been also wanting to just build my own so I just want something for the aesthetic and to be nice to use daily for whatever. The mouse would’ve just been the cherry on top if I was able to get one that works good and looks retro lmao

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@magnemattix Go for it man. Ain't nothing wrong with having a keyboard/mouse for style during the day and the higher tech ones to use for gaming at night. Get something that makes you happy man. In the end, that's what it's all about

[@bearymos4805]

I know I got an Xtrfy m4 retro mouse. the shape isn't retro, but at least it color matched to my keyboard

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@bearymos4805 Someatimes its all about that look

[@PinchCactus]

That screen is cool but the mouse looks like it belongs in the early 90s

[@Viper4ever05]

this mouse was so weird I had to watch a review

[@TheRageAcademy]

This mouse was so weird I had to own it

[@liewenjin8152]

Is the middle wheel clickable?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Yes! And it’s very clicky!

[@andreamaral9725]

Just wish it performed better it looks so neat

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@andreamaral9725 me too. They should do a v2 with a 3395

[@Ismailoff_eth]

About mom was personal

[@TheRageAcademy]

You know how proud your mom and I are of you

[@gaigepentell7854]

I wasn’t interested until he clicked the buttons

[@TheRageAcademy]

Button clicks induce serotonin

[@SantoPapiii]

is this good for a productivity mouse?

[@TheRageAcademy]

I’d rate as a below average productivity mouse. The only downside vs something like the Logitech g305 is that the the Lofrees software isn’t downloadable from there website so you can reassign macros. But it’s got that retro look

[@joshd108]

I know it’s supposed to look retro with the color, but I badly want this in black

[@TheRageAcademy]

That would actually be sick

[@ItzNinjawho]

it looks clean if you ask me but i have this cool idea, basically take the mouse case and put the Logitech tech in that case cool idea, but will cost you alot yah...

[@TheRageAcademy]

Not a bad idea to try and retro fit a logi pcb in there. I’d probably do attack shark since they’re so cheap though

[@ItzNinjawho]

@@TheRageAcademy i use an ajazz 099 good price for the performance

[@nukert658]

I avoided this mouse due to its weight and questionable sensor but now seeing that it isnt even keyboard switches at all makes me so happy I skipped it. I like the concept but delivery was a big fail. If this was 85 or less grams and had hotswap keyboard switches and a top sensor option I would be sold.

[@BBCsandwich]

Hopefully i see the gaming horse in this video Retro mouse looks good Gaaaammmmminnng hoooorrrse 10 out of 10 Yes i am writing this while watching the video Mouse is ugly af but also pretty af I know my mum is sturdy Small screen is nice 5 buttons ✅ Also nice clicking sound ✅ No software in the mouse Also no retro gaming 😢 Also titan fall 2 >. Apex legends Would like titan fall gameplay in next video 🐁 Is a 5/10 Video 9/10 Can't give a ten or the other revs will think you paid me to give you a 10

[@TheRageAcademy]

You found him! The gaming horse is also my wife's favorite. I promise I'll look for a spot to put the gaming horse into upcoming videos. Is Titanfall 2 still active? I've been doing a lot of CSGO2 recently. Titanfall is sick

[@BBCsandwich]

@@TheRageAcademy the servers are back active. Not getting ddosd anymore

[@TheRageAcademy]

That’s good news. I’ll snag some titanfall 2 gameplay

[@BBCsandwich]

@@TheRageAcademy sounds great

[@Ramesiel]

75 hours battery life??? My Logitech G603 uses AA batteries and lasts for months.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Double A batteries are much heavier. 75hrs is like the average for most wireless mice I'd say

[@GoshujinGastly]

why not just run it wired while gaming?

[@TheRageAcademy]

You could if you want, I personally don't like the cable drag while gaming. I don't think the polling rate increases over cable either

[@matt2.052]

Man is it really bad for gaming :(

[@TheRageAcademy]

Yeah, it’s not the greatest, I could tell immediately when using it

[@BlahajGaming2001]

first

[@giomjava]

What makes it "gaming"?? There is not a gaming bone is that mouse.

[@1stRanger]

Very mediocre specs for that price tag.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Not even mediocre, absolutely trash tier. That’s why it fails as a gaming mouse and the only reason to get it is for aesthetic

[@1stRanger]

@@TheRageAcademy I'd say 500Hz for casual gamer is enough hence mediocre. Same for DPI. Some people game with office mice that don't have even that. :D But sure, on a gaming mice scale specs are trash. :) Which is a shame, because design absolutely rocks.

[@TheRageAcademy]

@1stRanger yeah, the design is really neat. Another commenter said I should make a video switching out the pcb with another brand for better performance, I thought it might be interesting

[@1stRanger]

​@@TheRageAcademy Idk. The screen will most definitely stop working and it's still gonna be quite heavy for competitive gaming. :)

[@OrgasmicVibes]

Can it be set to 400 DPI?

[@TheRageAcademy]

The lowest you can go is 800. Unfortunately, you can’t go any lower since the software isn’t available (for some reason)
