Leopold FC750R PD

The FC750R PD is the tenkeyless Leopold. Tom's Guide describes a thick plastic case with a steel-mounted plate and extra padding that dampens the spacebar, DIP switches on the back for swapping keys such as Left Ctrl and Caps Lock, and a menu key the reviewer came to value. It comes with a removable 48-inch mini-USB cable that can be routed left, right or centre, plus a PS/2-to-USB-A converter and a plastic dust cover. Leopold sells it with seven Cherry MX options (Brown, Blue, Red, Black, Silent Red, Clear and Silver) and the review describes the PBT double-shot keycaps as thick and crisp. Leopold's own product pages show the specification sheet as images, so the details here come from the review; Tom's Guide gives a weight of 2.2 pounds, about 1 kg.

Tom's Guide judged the build excellent, the design straightforward and the typing experience fantastic, with a Cherry MX Brown unit it found just right for tactile feel without waking a cubicle-mate. Its cons were a single height adjustment (it wanted two elevation levels) and a cheap plastic keycap puller that it recommended replacing with a metal one. It describes the keyboard as aimed at enthusiasts who can live without a number pad and do not need gaming extras.

There is no RGB, software or hot-swap, so the switch choice is made at purchase.
