Know before you buy
A 65% layout removes the number pad and function row to save desk space while retaining dedicated arrow keys and essential navigation keys like Delete and Page Up/Down. It is an ideal balance for users who want a compact footprint without losing the keys necessary for efficient typing and navigation.
No, the switches on this model are soldered directly to the PCB. You cannot swap them out without desoldering, so it is best to choose the Cherry MX switch type that best fits your typing preference at the time of purchase.
The DIP switches allow you to make hardware-level adjustments to your layout, such as swapping the Caps Lock and Left Ctrl keys or toggling the Windows key functionality. These changes are stored on the keyboard itself, so your settings remain consistent even if you plug the keyboard into a different computer.
No, the FC660M does not include backlighting. The focus of this keyboard is on build quality and typing feel rather than aesthetic lighting effects.
PBT plastic is highly resistant to the oils and friction that cause standard ABS keycaps to develop a shiny, worn appearance. The double-shot construction also ensures that the legends will never fade, as they are molded into the keycap itself.
