Leopold fc660c Keyboard
Description:
This is a tenkeyless mini(or compact) keyboard made with Topre key switches from Leopold keyboards. It comes with a tenkeyless design and it goes further yet with a compact design of only having 66 keys on the keyboard. The dimensions are smaller than your typical tenkeyless mechanical keyboard which is usally about 14 to 15 inches in length. It's length is 12.9 Inches, its width is 4.37 inches, and it's height is depending on feet down or not, feet down the height is 1.57 inches and without feet the height is 0.98 of an inch tall. So you can understand why this is considered a compact tenkeyless keyboard. Now in the description the color of case and key caps is listed as black but this isn't entirely accurate, because the color is more of a charcoal grey for both case and caps. Now the key caps are pbt but with pad printing legends so eventually the lettering will rub off. The caps themselves feel great with the topre switches while typing, and this is truly a unique and enjoyable experience....and I can see why many mechanical keyboard owners crave and eventually save for these type of keyboards, now I didn't list it as a mechanical keyboard because there is some debate because it is a hybrid between a rubber dome and a mechanical switch. You have the plastic stem(which I believe is call plunger) directly underneath the key cap with a housing, then a steel black plate, and this next part is where there is debate because underneath the housing a plunger and then back plate is a rubber dome, which then there is a conical spring underneath that rubber dome giving some resistance to the key press, and then we have the circuit board. Sorry if that explanation was somewhat trivial but you can go to Elitekeyboards.com and check out this nice little diagram they have on the switch and what not. So for arguments sake I will refer to this switch as a mechanical one because of the stem and spring used for the initial key press. It is of high quality and is meant for comfort while long sessions of typing. Other keyboards in comparison to this one are the topre Realforce keyboard, the Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2(hhkb pro 2), and the Type Heaven topre switch keyboard(a bit on the cheaper side as far as topre keyboards go) I hope this description was an adequate one for those who have yet to read about and or use a topre switch keyboard.
