What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Varmilo Lava keycap set for its exceptional quality and striking design. The PBT material is highly valued for its durability, satisfying texture, and resistance to shine, offering superior longevity compared to standard keycaps.

Know before you buy
No, these keycaps are not backlit compatible. The PBT plastic is opaque, meaning light from your keyboard's LEDs will not shine through the keycaps themselves.
This set is designed for MX-style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. They will fit most Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, and other similar switch types.
The Varmilo profile is a proprietary shape designed for ergonomic comfort and a consistent typing experience. It is generally similar in height and feel to the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built mechanical keyboards.
No, this product is a keycap set only. It includes 108 individual keycaps designed to replace the existing caps on your compatible mechanical keyboard.
The Caps Lock and Scroll Lock keys feature small, clear windows built into the plastic. These allow the indicator light from your keyboard's PCB to shine through clearly, even though the keycaps themselves are not backlit.
This 108-key set is designed for a standard full-size ANSI layout. While the individual keys will fit most boards, you may find that some keys—such as the bottom row or right-side modifiers—do not match the specific size requirements of smaller or non-standard keyboard layouts.
