Know before you buy
No, the Varmilo VPM108 Beijing Opera is a prebuilt keyboard and does not support hot-swapping. The switches are soldered to the board, so you should choose your preferred switch type at the time of purchase.
Yes, the keyboard is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. Please note that it follows a standard US QWERTY layout, so you may need to adjust your system settings to ensure all function keys map correctly to your specific OS.
The keyboard includes double silicone sound dampening pads integrated into the chassis. These pads help absorb vibrations and reduce the hollow 'ping' sound often found in mechanical keyboards, resulting in a more refined, muted acoustic profile.
The VPM108 features a static white LED backlight. While it provides excellent visibility for the legends, it does not support RGB color customization or complex lighting software.
Dye-sublimated PBT keycaps are highly resistant to the shine that develops on standard ABS plastic over time. The dye-sublimation process infuses the ink into the plastic, ensuring the legends remain crisp and will not fade or wear off with heavy use.
The base of the keyboard features built-in grooves that allow you to route the USB-C cable out of the left, right, or center of the back edge. This helps keep your desk tidy and allows you to position the cable based on where your computer or hub is located.
