Know before you buy
Varmilo EC switches use non-contact technology to register keypresses, resulting in a smoother, more consistent feel than traditional mechanical switches. They are designed to be highly durable and provide a refined, stable typing experience.
The wood grain texture is a high-quality aesthetic finish applied to the case. It is durable and built to withstand daily use, though it is primarily a design choice rather than actual wood material.
The keycaps are made from PBT plastic using a dye-sublimation process, which makes them highly resistant to the shine and wear that typically affect standard ABS keycaps. The legends are infused into the plastic, so they will not fade or rub off with regular use.
Yes, the MA87M is fully compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. It functions as a plug-and-play device, though you may need to adjust your system's keyboard settings to map specific function keys to your preference.
No, the Tenkeyless (TKL) layout removes the numeric keypad to save desk space and allow for a more ergonomic mouse position. It retains all the standard navigation and function keys found on a full-sized board.
The keyboard features a clean, single-color white LED backlight. While you can adjust the brightness levels and lighting modes directly through the keyboard's onboard controls, it does not support RGB color customization.
