Know before you buy
The Tenkeyless layout removes the dedicated number pad, resulting in a more compact footprint. This provides extra space on your desk for wider mouse movements, which is particularly beneficial for gaming or smaller workspaces.
No, this keyboard is not hot-swappable. The Cherry MX switches are soldered to the plate, so you cannot change the switches without desoldering and soldering new ones.
The media controls are integrated into the keyboard via side-printed legends on specific keys. You can access these functions by using the designated function key combinations, keeping your primary keycaps clean and uncluttered.
Yes, the Varmilo VA Series V2 is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. It uses a standard USB-C connection and follows the US QWERTY ANSI layout, making it plug-and-play across these platforms.
No, this model does not have backlighting. It features North-facing LEDs for indicator lights, but the keys themselves are not illuminated.
The internal silicone pads are designed to dampen the sound of the switches and reduce hollow resonance within the case. This results in a quieter, more solid-sounding typing experience compared to standard mechanical keyboards.
