Know before you buy
Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on physical contact points, these Hall Effect magnetic switches use magnets to detect key presses. This design eliminates switch bounce and chatter while allowing you to customize the actuation point between 0.1mm and 4.0mm.
No, the Minilo75 HE is designed specifically for magnetic switches. While the PCB is hotswappable, it is only compatible with other Hall Effect magnetic switches, not standard 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches.
An 8000Hz polling rate allows the keyboard to report input to your computer up to 8000 times per second, resulting in ultra-low latency. While most noticeable to competitive gamers, it provides a highly responsive and fluid typing experience for any user.
Yes, you will need to use the dedicated Varmilo software to configure the actuation points, Rapid Trigger settings, and RGB lighting. Once your preferences are saved to the keyboard's onboard memory, you can use it on other devices without needing the software running.
Yes, the keyboard is compatible with both operating systems. However, please note that the dedicated software for customizing actuation and lighting is typically designed for Windows.
The Minilo75 HE features an aluminum plate and integrated sound-absorbing layers designed to minimize hollow echoes and harsh vibrations. Combined with the smooth magnetic switch travel and high-quality PBT keycaps, it offers a refined, stable, and dampened typing sound.
