Know before you buy
The Varmilo profile is a proprietary shape designed by Varmilo to offer a unique ergonomic feel. It typically features a slightly different height and curvature than standard OEM or Cherry profiles, providing a distinct tactile experience that many users find more comfortable for long typing sessions.
These keycaps are not designed for backlighting. Because they are made of solid PBT plastic, the legends will not allow light to shine through, meaning your keyboard's LEDs will only provide an underglow effect rather than illuminating the characters themselves.
This set is specifically designed for the standard ANSI layout with 108 keys. If your keyboard uses a non-standard bottom row, a split spacebar, or a compact layout like a 65% or 75% board, some keys in this set may not fit correctly.
Dye sublimation is a highly durable printing process where the ink is infused directly into the plastic. Unlike pad-printed or laser-etched legends, these will not fade or wear off over time, even with heavy daily use.
You will need a standard wire or plastic keycap puller to safely remove your existing keycaps. We recommend using a wire puller to prevent scratching the sides of your switches or the keycaps themselves during installation.
