Know before you buy
Varmilo EC switches use non-contact capacitive sensing to register keypresses, which eliminates physical metal-to-metal contact. This results in a smoother, more consistent typing feel and increased durability compared to traditional mechanical switches.
No, this keyboard is not hot-swappable. The switches are plate-mounted and soldered, meaning they are not designed to be removed or replaced by the user.
The multimedia functions are accessed by using the function key in combination with the designated keys. You can easily identify these functions by looking at the side-printed legends on the keycaps.
Yes, the keyboard is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. While it uses a standard US QWERTY layout, it functions plug-and-play across all three major operating systems.
The internal silicone pads are designed to absorb vibrations and reduce the acoustic resonance of the keypresses. This creates a more muted, refined sound profile compared to standard plastic-cased keyboards.
Yes, the V2 series features a double-section kickstand on the bottom. This allows you to choose between two different typing angles in addition to the flat position to suit your ergonomic preference.
