Leopold FC750RBT V2 specifications and in-depth review

Leopold FC750RBT V2

Manufacturer: Leopold

The Leopold FC750RBT V2 is a tenkeyless (80%) mechanical keyboard that offers both wired USB and wireless Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, with a detachable cable included for flexible cable management. Built on a plate-mount construction with an FR4 plate inside a plastic case, it follows a standard profile and comes in black with adjustable feet for tilt adjustment. The keyboard uses a standard ANSI layout with PBT double-shot keycaps in the Cherry profile, keeping the design clean and focused on long-lasting typing performance without backlighting or RGB.

Internally, the FC750RBT V2 is equipped with Cherry MX2A Red linear switches, delivering a smooth keystroke at 45 g actuation force across a 4 mm total travel distance. It supports N-key rollover (NKRO) for reliable simultaneous key registration and reaches a 1000 Hz polling rate over wired connection. Media functions are handled via the Fn key, and there is no rotary dial, hot-swap support, or onboard display. QMK, ZMK, and VIA are not supported, so the keyboard does not offer open-source firmware customization, reflecting a straightforward approach built around dependable daily use.

Pros
  • Bluetooth 5.1 and wired USB dual connectivity with a detachable cable provides genuine flexibility for multi-device and cable-free setups
  • N-key rollover (NKRO) ensures all simultaneous keypresses are accurately registered without ghosting
  • Cherry MX2A Red linear switches offer a smooth, light keystroke at 45 g actuation force across a 4 mm travel distance
  • PBT double-shot keycaps in the Cherry profile resist wear and shine over prolonged daily use
  • Standard ANSI key layout makes sourcing and fitting aftermarket keycap sets straightforward
  • Adjustable feet allow the typing angle to be tailored to individual comfort preferences
Cons
  • No backlighting or RGB lighting limits usability in low-light or dark environments
  • Switches are not hot-swappable, requiring soldering for any switch replacement
  • QMK, ZMK, and VIA are not supported, ruling out open-source key remapping and macro customization
  • Media controls are only available through the Fn key, with no dedicated media keys on the board
  • No wrist rest is included, which may affect comfort during extended typing sessions
  • Not designed for Mac, so out-of-the-box key labeling and layout may not suit macOS users
Who is this for?

The FC750RBT V2 suits typists who want a compact tenkeyless layout without sacrificing connection versatility, particularly those who move between wired and wireless setups at the same desk. The Bluetooth 5.1 and detachable USB cable combination works well for users who pair the keyboard with multiple devices or prefer a cleaner desk when wireless mode is in use. The Cherry MX2A Red linear switches and NKRO support make it a comfortable fit for long typing sessions where smooth, accurate keystrokes matter more than tactile or audible feedback, especially in well-lit work environments.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who frequently type in low-light or dark conditions will find the complete lack of backlighting a practical limitation, as there is no keyboard illumination of any kind. Those who rely on open-source firmware tools for remapping or macros will be stopped entirely, since QMK, ZMK, and VIA are all unsupported. The keyboard is also a poor match for switch enthusiasts who want to experiment with different switch types, as the non-hot-swappable design means any changes require soldering — and Mac users will need to manually adjust their workflow, since the board is not designed for macOS.

Has a backlit keyboard ✕
Case material Plastic
Plate material FR4
Case colors Black
has adjustable feet ✓

Backlight facing direction North-facing

The keyboard features a plastic case with an FR4 plate, finished in black as the sole color option. Adjustable feet are included for tilt customization, though no wrist rest is bundled with the keyboard. There is no backlighting or RGB lighting, giving it a plain, unlit appearance — the north-facing LED direction listed in the data is noted but no backlight is active on this board.

Switches:

Switch type Mechanical
Switch feel Linear
Hot-swappable switches ✕
Switch name Cherry MX2A Red
Actuation force 45 g
Total travel distance 4 mm

The keyboard is equipped with Cherry MX2A Red mechanical switches, which offer a linear feel with no tactile feedback or audible click. They require 45 g of actuation force and have a total travel distance of 4 mm, resulting in a smooth and uninterrupted keystroke from top to bottom. The switches are not hot-swappable, meaning any switch changes would require soldering.

Features:

has rapid trigger ✕
has dual actuation ✕
has adjustable actuation ✕
has NKRO ✓
has USB passthrough ✕
Has a display ✕
has QMK support ✕
has ZMK support ✕

The one active feature in this section is N-key rollover (NKRO), which allows every simultaneous keypress to be accurately registered without ghosting. All other listed features are absent — there is no analog input, rapid trigger, dual actuation, adjustable actuation, USB passthrough, or onboard display. QMK, ZMK, and VIA support are not available, so the keyboard does not support open-source firmware customization or key remapping through those platforms.

Keys & layout:

Keyboard layout ANSI (United States)
Keycap type PBT, Double-shot
Keycap profile Cherry
uses a standard key layout ✓
Media keys Via Fn key
has a rotary dial ✕

The keyboard uses a standard ANSI (United States) layout fitted with PBT double-shot keycaps in the Cherry profile, which hold up well against wear and maintain legibility over extended use. The key arrangement follows a standard layout, making aftermarket keycap sets easy to source and install. Media functions are accessible through the Fn key rather than dedicated keys, and there is no rotary dial included on the board.

Final Verdict

The Leopold FC750RBT V2 is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard that keeps its focus narrow and executes it well — offering reliable daily typing through a combination of Bluetooth 5.1, wired USB connectivity, and N-key rollover, all in a compact layout with durable PBT double-shot keycaps. It is built for users who want a dependable, no-frills board that handles both wired and wireless use without complexity, rather than one that invites tinkering or customization. The absence of backlighting, hot-swap support, and open-source firmware compatibility will rule it out for some, but for typists who value a clean, consistent typing experience over configurability, the FC750RBT V2 delivers a focused and well-rounded package.
