Suggestion: DIP switches on the VA108 to turn on/off NKRO emulation.
ISO layout please?
Suggestion : media controls should be moved to FN+Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn . This way it's more comfortable to use. FN+F7->F12 is very hard to reach.
You know I want this :) winkeyless layout :D

I have my cherry green Varmilo VA87M for nearly two years now. Despite having 5-6 keyboards, this till one of my daily driver. Very solid build quality, and comes with high quality pbt key caps as well. No comment on the layout since its standard tkl wk. i got a aluminum case for it on MD and a granite set, i tried all profiles of caps on it but finally i find dsa profile suits me best on this low profile keyboard.
I've bought a few keyboards from you now Miya.
Top notch service and the quality of the product is fantastic. I have no complaints. (Well yes one. You said I would get the new logo on my latest keyboard but I got one with the comic sans font) - But in the grand scheme of things I am beyond impressed with your knowledge and commitment to excellence.
Miya: 5/5
Varmilo: 5/5
My only hope is that you will expand your switch options. If I could get a VA68M with Feelio's I would be beyond happy.
Hello, friends! This is Cynthia, new contact from Varmilo, sorry to inform you Miya had left our company. Could anybody tell me how can I be the starter of Varmilo forum instead of Miya, I sent message to Geekheck team, but few days past, no one replies me. Any one can help me? :) :)
Just thought I'd pop in my tuppence worth as an IT Professional and a published author writing a lot (current book before editing down is 330k words!).
I spent several hours reviewing and testing keyboards yesterday at The Keyboard Company (Filcos, DAS Keyboards, Realforce RGB, Cooler Master, Type Heaven, 105UB and Varmilo) and the choice came down to two for me: The Realforce 105UB ISO UK layout or the Varmilo VA69M Ice Blue.
The main points for me, in order of importance, were:
1) typing feel (speed, accuracy, tactility, fatigue)
2) build quality
3) factor (100/80/60%)
4) backlighting (dark room)
5) other things (macros, windows lock, etc etc)
I loved the clack, the PBT, the frame, essentially EVERYTHING about the UK version of this. The ice white keys and blue backlight are really nice as well. The ONLY thing that swung me to buy the much more drab, normal Realforce was the Topre switches, which were sublime. I loved the blues on the Varmilo but Topre are just better for me for pure typing.
Basically, if you had also offered this with Topre switches, I would never have bought another keyboard again. The Varmilo was pretty perfect for me in build quality, size, feel, keycap material and size, backlighting and extras for a bit of gaming (I use a keypad more) and a LOT of typing. But… Topre wins out over blues long term in feel. I'd probably buy both, to be honest.
The Realforce board is much more basic, but it was the switches. For a writer/author you just can't beat them.
So - would you consider a "writer's edition" of the ice blue with topre switches instead of blues? Because I'd buy that immediately and recommend it.
