Leopold FC660MBT Vapor Mechanical Keyboard

The Leopold FC660MBT Vapor is a compact 65% mechanical keyboard designed for users who want a smaller footprint without sacrificing essential keys. It suits office workers, coders, and enthusiasts who prefer a wireless option with Bluetooth 5.1 and a reliable wired USB-C connection. Its fixed Cherry MX switches and durable PBT keycaps offer a consistent typing experience but limit switch customization.

Typing Experience

Trade-offs
