Know before you buy
Yes, the keyboard features a hot-swappable PCB. This allows you to pull out and replace the Kailh switches with other compatible mechanical switches without needing any soldering tools.
Yes, the FL980V2 uses a compact 97-key layout that retains a dedicated number pad. It achieves this by tightening the spacing between the main typing area and the navigation keys, saving desk space without sacrificing functionality.
You can toggle between 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB modes using the physical switch or function key shortcuts located on the keyboard. This allows you to easily pair the device with multiple computers, tablets, or laptops.
Yes, PBT plastic is significantly more durable and resistant to the oily shine that develops on standard ABS keycaps after heavy use. These keycaps maintain their texture and matte finish much longer, even with daily typing.
The keyboard is designed for broad compatibility and will function with both Windows and Mac devices via USB or Bluetooth. While the layout is standard English, some specific media or function key mappings may require minor adjustments in your system settings when using a Mac.
