Congratulations, you got twins! Leopold FC660M and FC660C

Leopold is clever enough not to waste a winning layout design.  Apparently, Leopold also manufactured an identical looking keyboard named FC660M, which is Cherry MX based.  That alone should bring the price back to Earth.  From the looks of it, mechanical keyboard.com is selling it for $150 or so, depending on the color schemes and MX switch types.  I am aware that there are white color scheme versions with MX brown and MX red switches.  I am pretty sure that other combinations exist.  It’s not that much difference, but could be a deciding factor.  If one fancies that Leopold’s layout but doesn’t like Topre switches, then this is a good alternative to consider.

I don’t have a FC660M in house for testing, so I can’t honestly tell you what exactly to expect.  By most indication, the keyboards should be almost identical, except the switch and some minor differences because of the switch related changes.  You never know tho.  So, this is more of an informational post than anything else.  If you have experience with FC660M that you would like to share, that would be great!
