Know before you buy
No, this keyboard does not use software. You can make basic layout adjustments, such as swapping modifier keys, by using the physical DIP switches located on the bottom of the keyboard.
The FC900R OE uses high-quality double-shot PBT keycaps, which are significantly more resistant to the oily shine that develops on standard ABS plastic keycaps after heavy use.
The internal dampening material is designed to absorb vibrations and reduce the hollow 'pinging' sound often found in mechanical keyboards, resulting in a more solid, muted, and refined typing sound.
Yes, it is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux systems. While it is designed with a standard US QWERTY layout, you may need to adjust your system settings to map the modifier keys to your preference.
Yes, the keyboard uses a detachable USB-C cable, so you can easily replace it with any standard USB-C cable if the original is lost or damaged.
No, the Leopold FC900R OE does not feature any backlighting. It is designed with a focus on build quality and typing performance rather than aesthetic lighting effects.
