I looked for a while, and Varmilo was the only brand with an ISO-CH layout readily available as I didn't feel like building my own keyboard, buying keycaps aside, remapping everything, etc.
I was a bit worried seeing how expensive it is but have no regret... The typing sound amazing (I choose Silence), the keyboard feels sturdy and looks amazing, and changing some keycaps was super easy. Can only recommend!
I still have to say:
- Setting-up some shortcuts was tricky, I wish there was more explanation as to how to do so. That being said, it was my first time trying it and I managed, and the files Varmilo lists under "Support" helped
- I paid another 60€ to DHL for tax & delivery in Europe, which I think shouldn't happen when buying something already this expensive and paying for delivery
First time getting a real good mechanical keyboard (I had a Blackwidow in 2014 and that was my only experience with mechanical keyboards)
The feel is 11/10 I don't think that I will ever change something on this keyboard. (I'll maybe try ceramic keycaps)
I preordered the ISO-FR version and everything was perfectly fine
I took it with the Kailh Prestige Silent switches, and this is divine.
I honestly thought that it would be almost completely silent, but it itsn't. It is THOCKY and QUIET which is surprisingly even better, because it sounds really GOOD and on the other hand nobody is annoyed when I type a lot in my room.
The stabilizers are perfectly lubed for me, never heard a spacebar sound so deep and silent.
I saw a lot of person complaining about no RGB or whatever, but as you can see I turned mine purple/pink, with the website "Via" you can modify RGB and key bindings as you want.
The only ""downside"" for me is that not all keys sound the same (and that it costed a lot to ship to France but I was aware of that), this is a really slight difference, and I think it is normal (probably because they aren't on the same row/position/shape etc), but coming from a clicky keyboard in which all keys sound the same, it felt strange but nothing to be annoyed or upset about, still a huge 11/10.
Be careful for the extra charges, I am in Spain I had to pay 301 eur for this keyboard: keyboard 169 iso Profile + shipping 46 (double than other companies) + tax 40 + DHL custom service 46 (the final customer has to pay because no one in varmilo does this job) in conclusion 160 expensive imagine 301 eur !!! pro silent switches, the reason to have this keyboard is because I wanted a keyboard that does not create noise during my night works, pros: good feeling , no noise at all, cons the color of the keycaps not a good idea in the night, changed for side keycaps EPOMAKER Sky Blue, cons the service, cons the cost, good keyboard extremely expensive!
Completely in love with the creamy sound of the keys. Installation was quick and easy. Very happy with purchase
This is exactly the keyboard I’ve been looking for over months! It’s gorgeous, creamy, classy, quiet, understated. Amongst all the obnoxious colored lights, this has a luminous white/blue backlight and warm beige keys/housing with just a touch of gold. I’m impressed with the weight, even though it is plastic and I can use it for work because it has a numpad. Why should gamers have all the fun? It’s perfection without needing to build but still offering some custom options. Well done Varmilo! I’m in love!
I love how quiet this keyboard is! It sounds so good. The sound is not consistent depending on what area you're typing in the keyboard (letters vs num pad) but that doesn't really matter.
I also love the feel of typing on the the Kailh silent linear switches (as someone who's used to tactile switches). I thought it felt a little heavier at first but it feels smoother and lighter the more you type on it. It doesn't feel mushy for me.
Layout-wise, I'm not used to the arrow keys being so close to the right side shift, so I need to look at my hands whenever I use those keys, but other than that, the layout is quite efficient in providing you a complete keyboard layout while saving space.
Overall one of my best tech purchases. Definitely worth the splurge. Kudos!
With the silent switches it's night and day compared to my old Razer keyboard. Haven't played around with configuring the keys to another place but I've heard the software they use is really reputable for that. Plenty of fun RGB-lights, a "thocky" key press, and sturdy build quality.
I'd wish for different colour options and being able to plug in wired from the right side aswell.
I already own a minilo 75% and ordered this one for my brother in law, and everything was as expected, i pre-ordered it and once they were shipping it was a fast shipping (less than a week) and it is a very nice silent keyboard. Looks ands sounds as we were wishing so.. happy customer around here.
