Know before you buy
Topre switches use an electrocapacitive design that combines a rubber dome with a mechanical spring. This results in a distinct, tactile 'thock' sound and a smooth, cushioned keystroke that many typists find more comfortable than traditional mechanical switches.
The Leopold FC660C is officially designed for Windows. While it may function for basic typing on other operating systems, you may experience issues with key mapping or lack of support for specific function layers.
Since the FC660C lacks a dedicated F-row, you access these keys by using a secondary function layer. You can trigger these by holding the designated function key in combination with the number row.
Yes, the keyboard features high-quality PBT keycaps with dye-sublimated legends. PBT is a premium plastic that resists the shine and wear common on cheaper ABS keycaps, and dye-sublimation ensures the legends will not fade over time.
The FC660C is not a hot-swappable keyboard, meaning the switches are soldered and cannot be changed. While you can replace the keycaps, please note that Topre-compatible keycaps are less common than standard MX-style keycaps.
The built-in dip switches allow you to customize the keyboard's layout at the hardware level. This includes functions like swapping the Control and Caps Lock keys or changing the Windows key behavior to suit your specific workflow.
