Leopold FC980M PD

The 1800 layout is a clever design that compresses the standard full-size keyboard footprint by tucking the navigation keys and arrow cluster closer to the numeric keypad. It gives you the full functionality of a standard keyboard, including the number pad, but takes up significantly less room on your desk.

Yes, the hot-swappable sockets allow you to install most standard 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without needing to solder. This makes it easy to experiment with different tactile, linear, or clicky switches to find your preferred typing feel.

The custom-cut plate dampening layer absorbs unwanted vibrations and hollow echoes that often occur inside keyboard cases. It results in a more solid, muted, and refined sound profile rather than a sharp or pingy noise.

No, PBT plastic is highly resistant to the shine that develops on cheaper ABS keycaps after extended use. The doubleshot construction also ensures the legends will never fade, keeping the keyboard looking fresh for years.

Yes, the FC980M PD uses a standard Cherry profile and a layout that is compatible with most aftermarket keycap sets. However, keep in mind that the right-side modifier keys on the 1800 layout are slightly smaller than standard, so you will need a keycap set that includes those specific sizes.
