Product Description

The Fl·esports X80 is a tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard kit designed for users who want to build and customize their own mechanical keyboard. It suits hobbyists who value hot-swappable switches and versatile connectivity, as well as gamers and office users seeking a compact layout with reliable wireless and wired options. Its features focus on typing comfort, sound dampening, and full RGB lighting customization.

Key Features

Full hot-swappable sockets support both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, allowing easy switch replacement without soldering.
Dual-positioning plate options let users choose between a gold-immersed fiberglass plate or a softer POM plate, affecting typing feel and sound.
Full-key RGB backlighting with multiple effects, including musical rhythmic modes, offers customizable lighting for different environments.
Three connectivity modes: wired USB, wireless Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless, provide flexibility for various devices and setups.
Automatic Windows/Mac system switching simplifies use across different operating systems.

Build and Typing Experience

Gasket-mounted structure with multi-layered internal padding (PORON, cotton, IXPE, silicone) reduces typing noise and adds cushioning for a softer keystroke.
High-quality silicone screws support easy assembly and disassembly without damaging the case.
Two-stage adjustable feet allow users to customize typing angle for comfort.

Connectivity

Wired USB connection ensures low latency and stable performance for gaming or work.
Wireless 2.4GHz mode offers a reliable connection with minimal interference, suitable for desktop setups.
Bluetooth mode supports easy pairing with mobile devices or laptops, though may have higher latency compared to wired.
4000mAh battery provides long usage times, up to 25 days without RGB and about 15 hours with lighting active.

Trade-offs

As a DIY kit, it requires assembly and sourcing switches and keycaps separately, which may not suit users wanting a ready-to-use keyboard.
The TKL layout lacks a dedicated number pad, which may be less ideal for users needing extensive numeric input.
Battery life decreases significantly when RGB lighting is on, limiting wireless use duration under heavy lighting.
