Know before you buy
A 65% layout removes the number pad and function row to save desk space while retaining dedicated arrow keys and essential navigation keys. It is an ideal balance for users who want a compact footprint without sacrificing the keys most commonly used for typing and light productivity.
No, the Ducky x Varmilo Miya Pro is a prebuilt keyboard with soldered Cherry MX switches. You cannot swap the switches without desoldering and soldering new ones, so be sure to choose the switch type that best fits your typing preference.
The keycaps are made from high-quality PBT plastic using a dye-sublimation process. This makes them highly resistant to the shine that develops on cheaper ABS keycaps over time, ensuring the legends remain crisp and the texture stays consistent even with heavy use.
The keyboard features clean white LED backlighting that can be adjusted for brightness and patterns directly through onboard shortcuts. It does not support software-based customization like QMK or VIA, keeping the setup simple and plug-and-play.
While the keyboard is designed for Windows and uses a standard US QWERTY layout, it will function on macOS via the USB-C connection. However, please note that some function-row shortcuts or media keys may not map perfectly without third-party software like Karabiner-Elements.
Yes, it utilizes a modern USB-C interface on the keyboard side, allowing you to easily detach the cable for transport or replace it with a custom coiled cable if you prefer a different aesthetic.
