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.
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!
Very soft and practically silent. I didn't end up using it since I prefer thoccy, but I put them on my wife's board instead. I could no longer hear her type from the office.
I bought this keyboard for the quiet switches and it was better than expected, sound tests on the internet don’t really do it justice. Also just all around good keyboard that hits basic keyboard wants and needs like any other keyboard, not really any negatives
Tô he’s honest I was looking for a keyboard like this for so long and I wanted to say that mechanical silent keyboard is the best experience I’ve ever had because I kinda hate the weird noises of the mechanical keyboards in general it is kinda cheaper than the other big brands out there PLUS when I order my keyboard I accidentally order a blue instead of the retro one and they changed my order to retro in less than 5 mins of me emailing the support THANK YOU so much for the support great job and great work
I am a loyal customer for Varmilo. I love every single keyboard I receive from them! This one in particular was so smooth to the typing, and very easy to aim for the keys. you make less mistakes when writing fast. your fingers will not touch other keycaps by mistakes! This is wonderful honestly! and the calculator works with its little screen !! you don't need to open calculator! :D
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!
I was looking for quite keyboard for long time for my night gaming sessions. And this one is just perfect. It’s nice very quiet and well build.
The kayboard I had before this was a Logitech one that cost about $200 (Yes, after doing actual research I realized that I got ripped off). While this keyboard is a bit more expensive, It is 100% worth the price. It looks and feels amazing. Customer service was also great and very responsive. Shipped fast as well. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!
The keyboard is amazing. I was looking for a silent keyboard for late-night sessions and tried different switches until I found this keyboard. It is amazingly silent compared to an average mechanical keyboard. It feels awesome to type in it. It feels of great quality, and robust. The battery life is pretty good, I haven't charged in almost three weeks and I have 40% left. Best purchase ever
