Know before you buy
Varmilo Electrocapacitive switches use non-contact sensing technology, which provides a smoother, more consistent keystroke compared to traditional mechanical switches. They are designed to offer a unique tactile feel while maintaining high durability and precision.
No, the TKL (Tenkeyless) layout removes the dedicated number pad to save desk space and allow for a more ergonomic mouse position. It retains all the standard function and navigation keys found on a full-sized keyboard.
No, the thick Dye Sub PBT keycaps are highly resistant to the oils and friction that cause standard ABS plastic keycaps to develop a shiny, worn appearance. They maintain their matte texture and vibrant legends even after extensive use.
The integrated silicone pad sits between the PCB and the positioning plate to absorb vibrations and reduce the 'pinging' sound often associated with mechanical switches. This results in a deeper, more muted, and refined sound profile while typing.
Yes, the bottom case features built-in cable routing channels that allow you to exit the USB-C cable from the center, left, or right side of the keyboard. This helps keep your desk setup clean and organized regardless of where your computer port is located.
Yes, the V2 series features an improved double-section kickstand. This allows you to choose between three distinct typing heights to better suit your ergonomic preferences.
