Know before you buy
No, this frame is specifically engineered for the Varmilo Sword 2-87 TKL layout. It will not fit other mechanical keyboards due to the unique magnetic mounting system and chassis dimensions.
The frame features integrated magnets that snap directly onto the compatible Varmilo Sword 2-87 base. You simply align the frame with the chassis, and it secures itself into place without the need for screws or specialized tools.
While the frame is primarily an aesthetic and structural upgrade, the aluminum construction adds a slight amount of weight and rigidity to the keyboard. This can result in a more solid, dampened sound profile compared to a standard plastic frame.
Yes, the frame is designed to accommodate standard Cherry MX style switches and does not interfere with keycap clearance. It is compatible with any keycap set that fits the standard Varmilo TKL layout.
The matte anodized finish is durable and resistant to fingerprints. You can keep it clean by wiping it down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
