I enjoy this keyboard. I mainly wanted it for the silent switches. I'm not too worried about the micro details of a gaming keyboard. This is a nice silent creamy option. A few keys may sound silently scratchy but it's really not a big deal for me cause lube will fix that. The USB plug is a little insecure when plugged in but it hasn't affected its use for me . I give a 5 star because it's what I was looking for anyways.
This keyboard has a very premium feeling and sounding design, I am using the prestige voice switch and it sounds heavenly, the resin design looks amazing and I am overall very happy with my purchase.
I got my keyboard for christmas and it feels amazing to type on while still being partner approved which is a big plus. The thock is thocking
The one big minus for me is that the caps lock light seems to be locked to the standard max brightness white light which makes it look kinda odd. What makes it even weirder is that the caps lock light is a much fainter red light which is much better.
Varmilo, please fill me in if there is any way I can change / disable the num lock color
This keyboard is so nice, comes with multiple accessories and since I ordered mine around Christmas they sent me a Christmas themed spacebar key cap! Once I wear this keyboard out I'm ordering another one from Varmilo such thought put into this engineering! Happy Holidays :)
I got the sword68 Sakura with the Kailh Prestige Silent switches.
The keyboard looks beautiful, is nice and heavy and has a pleasant soft sound when typing. The switch on it's own is silent, but on the keyboard with keycaps on it will create a sound when typing.
It works great out of the box, but I do wish I didn't have to take off the Caps key every time I wanted to turn the keyboard on or off and that there was a place on the keyboard itself to store the dongle.
Other than that I am very happy with my purchase.
I have been on a quest to find a nearly silent keyboard to use for work and this one delivered, and then some. The build quality is super solid and the silent switches are among the best, if not the best I've every tried! This keyboard is truly a joy to type on. The keys are tactile and buttery smooth and the the ability to switch instantaneously between wireless and usb is super convenient. 100% recommend!
The keyboard has a nice, subtle perfume scent. A clear difference from other keyboard makers. Even though it is the same gaming keyboard, the design philosophy is different.
Good quality product, I'm delighted with that aspect but the shipping times are very slow due to customs, extra costs (shipping, VAT, duties) are very exaggerated, from 160 euros to 307 euros in total. If the price is not a problem for you, it is a good option, but be careful with those surprises.
Je me permet de faire ce review en français pour les gens qui ne parle pas trop anglais !
Honnêtement, n’hésitez pas, ce clavier est de qualité, résistant, magnifique, silencieux.
Je me suis procuré le VARMILO 75% rétro avec les switch Prestige Silencieux et c’est le jour et la nuit avec mon ancien clavier (huntsman mini).
10/10 pour toute la ligne, livraison rapide, packaging super beau, un beau produit de qualité!
I been waiting for this keyboard to become in stock again, because it has been sold out for awhile. And once it came in stock again, I ordered instantly and don't regret it. After trying it out, it become my favorite keyboards I ever owned, the Kailh Prestige Silent keycaps sounds so soothing and nice, one of the best keycaps I ever tried. Looks like the materials used are high quality too. I been in the market for a new silent keyboard that has RGB's, only thing I wish this keyboard has was the colorful RGB lighting option, but have no problem with the white lighting instead.
Hi there! Thank you so much for your review of our Minilo98 Pro keyboard. But yes, this keyboard has the colorful RGB lighting option:
Current Light Effect:
·Press Fn + Left or Right Shift to switch the previous or next light effect mode of the backlight.
·Press Fn + '{' or '}' to switch the previous or next color under the monochrome light effect.
·Press Fn + '←' or '→' to reduces or increases the dynamic speed of the backlight.
·Press Fn + '↓' or '↑' to reduce or increase the light effect brightness of the backlight.
·Press Fn + Alt + Left or Right Shift to switch the previous or next light effect mode of logo backlight, which is on the front right side of the keyboard.
·Press Fn + Alt + '←' or '→' to reduce or increase the dynamic speed of logo backlight.
·Press Fn + Alt + '↓' or '↑' to reduce or increase the brightness of logo backlight.
If you want to customize the lighting effects, you can do so through the VIA web driver.

Thank you for choosing our product and we hope you continue to enjoy it!
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
Well… it’s what’s advertised which is nice.
Also, it’s quiet, so quiet. I like that.
If you like that, then it’s for you.
This is my second Varmilo board. New Varmilo EC switches are pure pleasure to use. Smooth like butter typing without "sand" feeling. Aurora design looks like a piece of art, loved it from first sight. Got this beast on EC Moxa switches, old one was on EC Sakura switches. Moxa sounds a bit more silent and a bit less ringy.
The switches arrived quickly and with cute containers. Right out of the box they feel fantastic. The color of the switches is also right up my ally. I love them and will definitely be buying from them in the future.
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!
I love the Varmilo Goddess Luo desk mat. It is beautiful and is made of high quality material! The purchase price was worth it!
Delivery was fast and the keyboard is amazing so far. I knocked a star off because the software has hard to navigate with NO TEXT (see pic), managed to sort it out in the end though.
huge upgrade from my last keyboard! good response and feels so nice:) and it looks great!! my only issue is i would’ve preferred an ISO-nordic layout, but that was not an option for this size
The keyboard is very pretty and the details are very well thought out, with a little bonus for the packaging
Awesome keyboard, Nice color combination, perfect keycap, Sound is quiet and smoot.
I bought this keyboard for its quiet switches, and even though I knew what to expect, it still amazed me. It feels of great quality, and robust. Finally, I am able to type in a crowd without disturbing anyone.
Completely in love with the creamy sound of the keys. Installation was quick and easy. Very happy with purchase
Really fun keyboard for a great price! I use it primarily for gaming and the EC Iris switches feel amazing. Had some issues with the delivery but the customer service was very helpful.
