What customers say
The Leopold FC630MBT in Coral Blue earns high praise for its exceptional out-of-the-box typing experience and superior build quality.

Know before you buy
The Cherry MX2A switches are an evolution of the classic mechanical switch, featuring improved factory lubrication and a new spring design. These updates result in a smoother keystroke, reduced scratchiness, and a more consistent feel compared to previous generations.
The FC630MBT uses Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless connectivity and is powered by three AAA batteries, which are included in the box. This setup allows for a clean, cable-free desk while maintaining reliable performance across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices.
The 60% layout removes the number pad, function row, and navigation cluster to save desk space. While it is excellent for typing and gaming, you will need to use function layer combinations to access keys like the arrow keys or F-row, which may require a short adjustment period.
No, the Leopold FC630MBT does not feature any LED backlighting. This design choice prioritizes a clean, professional aesthetic and focuses on the high-quality build and typing experience.
The combination of an FR4 dual-layer PCB and internal sound-dampening foam helps to absorb unwanted vibrations and hollow sounds. This results in a more refined, solid, and muted acoustic profile that feels more premium than standard plastic-plate keyboards.
Yes, the keyboard is compatible with macOS. Please note that because it uses a standard ANSI layout, you may need to adjust your system's modifier key settings in the keyboard preferences to match your preferred Mac layout.
