Know before you buy
These keycaps are significantly thicker and more durable than standard ABS plastic. The DoubleShot molding process ensures the legends will never fade, while the PBT material resists shine and wear over time, providing a premium, textured feel.
The integrated dampening pad helps absorb vibrations and soften the bottom-out sound of the switches. It results in a more muted, refined acoustic profile compared to keyboards without internal sound-deadening materials.
Yes, the Leopold FC900R PD is compatible with both Windows and macOS. You can use the onboard DIP switches to adjust the layout settings to better suit your operating system preferences.
The four DIP switches allow you to customize the keyboard's hardware behavior, such as swapping the Caps Lock and Left Ctrl keys, or disabling the Windows key to prevent accidental interruptions during gaming.
Cherry MX Red switches are linear, meaning they have a smooth, consistent keystroke without a tactile bump or audible click. While they are popular for gaming, many professionals prefer them for typing because they require less force, which can reduce finger fatigue during long sessions.
Yes, the keyboard features a detachable USB cable. This makes it easier to pack the keyboard for travel and allows you to replace the cable with a custom one if you prefer a different length or aesthetic.
