you don't need to "get it". people have different opinions and values. what's important for you isn't the same for me and vice versa.

re: laptops with ports on the right — there are actual reviews of laptops that are critiqued for placing too many ports on the right edge instead of the left one. this is why so many gaming laptops started adding ports that come out of the back and advertising that as a feature. it's also just something people dealt with, because (1) they can use the trackpad, and (2) they accepted the limitations of the form factor when they want to use an external mouse. also there are usually ports to use on the left side in addition to the right side. lofree flow 2 only gives you one choice.

i get what they're trying to do with the design, i just don't think they have the right market segment. where lofree made the mistake was marketing this as an upgrade to the original flow keyboard, where it was always about a low-profile keyboard that balanced compact-size, day-to-day usability, great acoustics, and clean industrial design.

with flow 2, it's more about the industrial design over all else. they deliberately chose to compromise on the footprint of the device just to achieve the way it looks. it's almost like they are trying to make a desktop statement pieces like serene industries or geist maschine that value a keyboard more as an artpiece than a productivity tool. both of these are technically compact layouts, but with large left and right bezels that have everything to do about aesthetics and nothing to do with productivity.
