Leopold FC980M

The 1800 layout compresses the navigation cluster and numeric keypad into a tighter footprint, saving significant desk space while still providing all the keys found on a traditional full-size board.

No, the switches are soldered to the PCB. You cannot swap them out without desoldering, so it is important to choose your preferred Cherry MX switch type at the time of purchase.

The FC980M is officially compatible with Windows and Linux. While it may function for basic typing on a Mac, the specific media keys and layout customization features are not supported.

The dip switches located on the bottom of the keyboard allow you to perform hardware-level layout adjustments, such as swapping the Caps Lock and Left Ctrl keys or toggling the Windows key lock, without needing extra software.

The keyboard features Double Shot PBT keycaps, which are highly resistant to shine and wear over time. The double-shot molding process ensures the legends will never fade, as they are molded into the plastic rather than printed on the surface.

No, the Leopold FC980M Vapor does not have backlighting. It is designed for a clean, professional aesthetic that prioritizes build quality and typing feel over RGB or LED lighting.
