What we like about Leopold FC630MBT

  • Exceptional build quality with a sturdy, heavy feel and minimal flex.
  • God-tier 1.5mm PBT double-shot keycaps that are highly durable and have a premium texture.
  • Integrated sound-absorbing pad and foam for improved acoustics and quieter typing.
  • Modern connectivity options including Bluetooth 5.1 (multi-pairing up to 4 devices) and USB-C.
  • Features the newer Cherry MX2A switches, which are generally smoother than standard Cherry MX.
  • Compact 60% form factor is ideal for saving desk space and portability.
  • DIP switches for hardware-level customization of key functions (e.g., swapping Caps Lock and Ctrl).

What we don't like about Leopold FC630MBT

  • Lacks backlighting or RGB, which may be a downside for users who type in dark environments.
  • Powered by AAA batteries rather than a rechargeable internal battery, which some users find inconvenient.
  • Not hot-swappable, making it difficult to change switches without soldering.
  • No official software for remapping keys or creating complex macros (limited to DIP switches).
  • May still experience some audible 'spring ping' common to factory-built Cherry switch boards.

Verdict

The Leopold FC630MBT is a compact 60% mechanical keyboard featuring dual-mode connectivity with Bluetooth 5.1 for up to four devices and a wired USB-C option. It is characterized by high-quality 1.5mm doubleshot PBT keycaps, an FR4 dual-layer PCB, and the updated Cherry MX2A switch series, which includes options like Red, Brown, Blue, and Silent Red. Key pros include its robust build quality with internal sound-absorbing foam for enhanced acoustics, N-key rollover for accurate typing, and the portability provided by its small footprint and AAA battery power source. However, notable cons include the lack of RGB backlighting, no support for custom firmware like QMK/VIA, and the absence of dedicated arrow keys which may require a learning curve for some users.
