At present, the layout of mechanical keyboards on the market is generally 60%, 80% and 104 full keyboards
60% of the well-known models have a big F Minila, Leopold FC660M and IKBC Poker
The 80% and full keyboard layout are many, and almost all brands have their own models.
Leopold LEOPOLD FC980M is a compact layout between 80% and the full keyboard layout. The pursuit of the effect is to have a “small†layout with 80% layout and strive for the “full†keyboard layout.
It is also a coincidence that his first desktop computer was to accompany this layout at the time, and that one of his first few mechanical keyboards, JAKIJD002 (not many players remember), is the same layout, so personally Kinds of layout are also more familiar.
The FC980 is Leopold's latest series layout, followed by a capacitor version. This time I bought a version of a white cherry blue shaft. Because it is a C store to buy, so it is not on the specific link, actually directly TB search FC980M
Outer packaging, similar to the previous style, but the country has a domestic proxy stickers like
Dust cover is still standard
Individuals like their family's white, so this time still choose the white version, but personal experience black version is more suitable with a third-party keycap, white version will pick the color of the keycap.
In addition to the main body of the keyboard, there are several additional keycaps and dust covers. No key puller included.
Still pluggable data line settings
The appearance of the keyboard is indeed a bit shorter than the 104 circle layout, and it is close to the length of the 87 keyboard (of course it will be a little longer)
Keycaps, their home's thickened PBT keycaps, one of the PBT's keycaps, which one of them would like to feel like, measure and set, but also a more practical orientation, but individuals prefer no more.
Leopold LEOPOLD FC980M the biggest difference is the layout of the right, the number keys + arrow keys instead of the original 87 keyboard function keys + arrow keys combination. However, the numeric keys are still switchable, so the use of 104 full keyboards has been retained as much as possible.
In this way, does the feeling of no moment look better?
Side height
On the back, the data cable still has 3 outlets
DIP switch also has.
The more conservative miniUSB, not to mention the advantages and disadvantages.
Rubber feet, the same snow, but worry about the oxidation of yellow.
The big button is the satellite axis setting. Some people like the more balanced feeling of the satellite axis. The individual does not matter.
The PCB of the keyboard has also become white, and the color will look better.
Crisp green, but their family seems to have a mute red, and then have the opportunity to estimate will try again.
Keyboard, workmanship details are very much in place, 1.5mm thick laser etching. Personally feel that this set of keycaps almost no need to upgrade, first of all, the current home-made keycaps almost do not feel workmanship can exceed this set of keycaps. If you have to change it, then you must sea high-end keycaps, or else it is a waste of this fine and comfortable keycap.
The connection of the edge of the keycap has also been dealt with
Compare with the size of another white minila in the next size. In addition to the size of the layout, F's white is the kind of white cheese, and Leopold's home is white.
use:
The significance of this compact keyboard is more likely to reduce the spacing between the right and left hands, which is also particularly important for gamers (of course I do not rule out that you like the large spacing).
Leopold LEOPOLD FC980M is still a Taiwanese production, so the quality of the basic feelings do not need to scrutiny probably also know one or two, still is that familiar feeling.
The most talked about the feelings and the advantages and disadvantages
At present, the same style of positioning keyboard almost only cherry 1808, of course, you may say cm flame gun, but I believe Leopold and large F players, should not take into account the CM kind of game-style peripherals, and cherry The 1808 problem of the family is still compact, but it is still very large.
While the large F family does not have the same type of layout model, so FC980 can currently say there is no very obvious competition models, there is this layout needs, like this low-key Mensao style set, then FC980 can almost say the only choice.
In addition, FC980M replaces the third-party high-end keycaps, which is still relatively convenient. At present, there are other cases where other players are relatively successful. (Think of my minila is pain...)
However, according to tradition, the aunt still has to say the following disadvantages:
No Bluetooth version. . . White is not suitable for smoking or hand oil users.
