is now the end of 2022, and mechanical keyboards are no longer new, but the mechanical keyboard I recently got made me happy for a long time. It has a "different" of 100 million points. This issue will be unboxed in one issue - leopold FC980MBT PD.
The "different" of this keyboard starts from the packaging box, and there should be a layer of film on it, which is very smooth. It’s not that this material is so good, it’s just that it’s very niche and has a very special feeling.
Unpack the package and see the keyboard inside. This model is called FC980MBT Dutch PD. The main body is light gray and has a good texture. The saturation of the lilac and mint green color combination is also relatively low. Although it does not seem very strong at first glance, its advantage is that it is very comfortable to match, and it is a type that is not greasy to watch, maintaining LeoBod's color matching style and product texture as always.
keycap is made of two-color injection molding process PBT material, original height. Compared with ABS materials, this PBT has better wear resistance and will not be oiled even if it is used for a long time. The keycaps have a thick matte texture and are not bad in slippage. Compared with those finer mattes, this one has a high recognition.
From the side, this keyboard adopts a step-like layout of keycaps, which will be more ergonomic. For long-term use groups, the fatigue of wrists and fingers will be less.
This keyboard keys use the original L-trained satellite axis structure, as shown in the figure below.
And it has two black silence silicone strips in the gap between the steel plate below the space bar.
Let’s take a look at the space bar again. It has a whole piece of sound-absorbing cotton embedded inside, which can better absorb the noise of the keyboard. In fact, in my impression, LeoBod started doing various silent designs in 2018, and it was also a manufacturer that paid attention to this area early.
Let’s look at the back. This keyboard has two foot pads. Regardless of whether the support is open or not, it can ensure that the foot pads are in contact with the desktop and will not cause scratches to the desktop.
This keyboard is a Bluetooth dual-mode version, and then the upper left corner is a 4-speed DIP switch. This is also the feature of LeoBod, which can directly change the key position and swap or lock Win.
, especially switch 2, Alt and Win on the left swap positions. Mac users were ecstatic after listening to it. Switch 4 is a hard-core lock Win, which is also the favorite of the game party. Of course, the above operations need to be set in the event of power outage.
Let me talk to you about the experience of using this keyboard. After I started to experience it for a while, the two deepest impressions left on me were mute and tightness.
First talk about muteness. As mentioned earlier, it has put a lot of effort into muteness. My personal feeling is: while retaining the sense of the axis paragraph, it is indeed quieter, and all kinds of noises are controlled well, including the bottoming echoes. Then there is the tightness in the feel. The one on your hand is the red shaft version, straight up and down, and there is no need to say more about the feel of the original cherry shaft.
Regarding the Bluetooth connection of the keyboard, let’s talk about it briefly here. The first step is to turn on the switch on the back and insert it into the hole with the Bluetooth logo with the pin. Then you will see the keyboard's Bluetooth indicator light begin to flash, the keyboard begins to pair with the computer, just enter the PIN code according to the prompts of the computer.
After the pairing is successful, the indicator light will light up and it can be used normally.
overall is still very stable after connecting to Bluetooth. You can connect to up to 3 devices, and users can switch the connection mode at will.
Bluetooth version is 5.1. Leobod's dual-mode has been almost 2 years apart from the launch of the market.We also consulted the official and the reply was that this product was internally tested and polished worldwide, which took a lot of time, so its connection experience and connection stability were better. There were no problems such as lag, disconnection, and serious delays during the experience.
If gamers think that Bluetooth connection will affect super magical operations, they can also choose wired connection. This keyboard comes with a C-port connection cable, and the delay will be further reduced after wired connection.
I want to say that, I really like the color scheme of this keyboard, and every time I see it, I feel very fresh. The pure black and pure white keyboard has no freshness, and the various fancy bells and whistles and customized keycaps look a bit eye-catching. It’s better to try this low-saturation combination, which is really a visual enjoyment.
This keyboard is not just a vase, but has also put a lot of effort into user experience. The typing feel, silent processing, product workmanship, etc. are all very good. The dual-mode design also improves convenience.
