Title: Question about Leopold Keyboards
Post by: Rholeros on Sat, 31 October 2020, 18:16:58

Are Leopold Keyboards still suffering from Rattle in the Spacebar? I’ve heard that they have been having quality control issues last year...

I really want  to buy one, but I’d rather pick a Varmilo VA87M if the rattle in the Leopold 450R is going to be there.

:(

I don't know if my 2018 and 2019 Leopold FC900Rs had rattle in the spacebar, but the spacebar was loud AF. Out-of-sync noise-wise with the rest of the board.

It was fixed during customization, though. I can't guarantee recent Leopolds will come from the factory free of annoyances. I don't know if any factory keyboards do, presently.
