Know before you buy
The Varmilo VPT87 features a hotswap PCB compatible with most standard 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. This allows you to swap out your switches without soldering, giving you the freedom to experiment with different tactile or linear feels.
Yes, the keyboard is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It functions seamlessly across these operating systems, though you may want to adjust your system settings to match the specific key mapping for your OS.
You can switch between three connection methods: a stable wired USB-C connection, Bluetooth 5.1 for multi-device pairing, or the 2.4 GHz wireless dongle for a low-latency gaming experience. This flexibility allows you to easily toggle between a desktop, laptop, or tablet setup.
The integrated silicone layers are designed to absorb vibrations and reduce the hollow 'pinging' sound often found in mechanical keyboards. This results in a more refined, muted, and premium acoustic profile while you type.
Yes, the dye-sublimated PBT keycaps are highly resistant to wear and shine. Unlike standard ABS plastic, PBT maintains its texture and appearance over time, even with heavy daily use.
The Varmilo VPT87 features built-in hardware controls for the RGB backlighting, allowing you to cycle through lighting effects and adjust brightness directly from the keyboard. This makes it easy to customize your aesthetic without needing to install additional software.
