LEOPOLD is a first-line peripheral brand in South Korea, and it was the early agent of the sales of TOPRE electrocapacitive keyboards, FILCO keyboards and DUCKY keyboards in South Korea, and then established its own brand LEOPOLD.
LEOPOLD IS SIMILAR TO FILCO, AND IS ALSO CALLED "BIG L" BY ENTHUSIASTS, BUT IT IS FAR LESS WELL-KNOWN THAN FILCO AMONG ORDINARY CONSUMERS. IT WAS FOUNDED IN 2006, TWO YEARS LATER THAN FILCO STARTED TO MAKE CHERRY MECHANICAL SWITCHES, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PERENNIAL AGENT FOR MAJOR HIGH-END MECHANICAL KEYBOARDS, LEOPOLD HAS SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD KEYBOARDS AND EXPERIENCE IN MAKING KEYBOARDS.
From the very beginning of the brand, LEOPOLD has positioned itself as a high-end brand with a very high starting point. Compared with FILCO, LEOPOLD uses more advanced PBT sublimation keycaps in the case of the overall and hand feel, which is changeable in color and durable without oil, and also makes up for the shortcomings of FILCO in various functions.
LEOPOLD'S KEYBOARDS ARE NOT DIVIDED INTO ENTRY AND FLAGSHIP, THEY ALL START WITH FC, THE NUMBER REPRESENTS THE NUMBER OF KEYS, AND THE R AND M AT THE END REPRESENT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE KEY LAYOUT, THE R SERIES IS A TRADITIONAL LAYOUT, WHILE THE M-TYPE LAYOUT IS MORE COMPACT AND HAS LESS SPACE AROUND THE ARROW KEYS. The whole series of FC adopts CHERRY MX shaft, PBT keycaps. In addition to the difference in the number of keys, it can also be divided into two series: PD and PS according to the different keycap processes. The characters of the PD version of the keycaps are basically seamlessly connected with the surface of the keycaps, the flatness is quite high, the font is clear and can be mixed and matched with the keycaps to create rich color combinations, which is the first choice for gamers with good looks. PS refers to PBT sublimation process, which has a better effect than PD, and the surface particles of the PS version are more delicate, but the cost is higher, so it will only be seen in high-end keyboards.
In addition to the difference in keycaps, the biggest feature of LEOPOLD is its overall color matching, whether it is the color matching between the keyboard panel and the keycaps or the contrasting design between the keycaps and the keycaps, LEOPOLD is quite good, and the overall feeling is fresh and refined, which is different from a lot of cool game keyboards, especially suitable for office scenes.
LEOPOLD's keyboard is the most distinctive can be regarded as FC660M, one of the reasons is because it only has 66 keys, the overall appearance is very simple and generous, and the other reason is that its thickened PBT keycaps feel quite outstanding, and it has a very good reputation among the player group, and the price of more than 800 yuan is also the cheapest in LEOPOLD.
