Know before you buy
The standout feature is its premium CNC-machined aluminum chassis, which provides a heavy, high-end feel rarely found in prebuilt keyboards. It also pairs this metal construction with Varmilo’s proprietary EC switches, offering a unique, smooth typing experience that differs from standard mechanical switches.
No, the Varmilo Sword 2-108 is not hot-swappable. The switches are soldered to the board, so you should choose your preferred Varmilo EC switch type at the time of purchase.
The magnetic top case allows you to easily remove or swap the top portion of the keyboard frame. This design choice simplifies cleaning and provides the flexibility to customize the look of your keyboard with future color options released by Varmilo.
Yes, the keyboard uses high-quality PBT keycaps with dye-sublimated legends. PBT is resistant to the shine that develops on cheaper ABS plastic over time, and dye-sublimation ensures the legends won't fade or wear off with heavy use.
Yes, the Varmilo Sword 2-108 is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It functions as a standard plug-and-play USB device across all three operating systems.
No, the Sword 2-108 features white LED backlighting only. This provides a clean, professional aesthetic that complements the premium aluminum design without the distraction of multi-colored lighting effects.
