i found a used varmilo (i think its a va69) on a swedish fleamarket today, but i cant seem to figure out what switches it has. its linear with no tactile feeling and its medium silent id say. its light blue'ish/teal in color, and they do look like Outemu switches. but then it would have to be the silent green switches and they seem super rare (almost no info anywhere except one site) and they never came with this model varmilo. any thoughts?

Doesn't the text on the top housing say "GATERON"?
Varmilo has sold keyboards with Gateron switches soldered in.
There have been many varieties of Gateron, with special types for different vendors.
For example, Zeal PCs sold Gateron-made linear switches with clear housing and teal stem marketed as "Tealios". There were also fake Tealeos (https://www.theremingoat.com/blog/t1s) (nicknamed "Stealeos") for a brief time where only the clear top was a genuine Gateron part.
