Varmilo VA68M Hype
« on: Tue, 19 April 2016, 23:44:53 »
I found a wild Varmilo keyboard in the 'Incoming' section of mechanicalkeyboards.com.

A representative from Varmilo appeared in the new members section recently and said that Comic Sans was no longer going to be a thing. Judging by the picture, Comic Sans is still a thing. So--aluminum case with Comic Sans for your viewing pleasure. The keycaps are dye-sub. Maybe the product pictures will change when MKs receives the keyboards? idk



White backlit       $159
RGB                   $189

Edit - Confirmed! The Varmilo logo has been updated. It might look something like this. No more Comic Sans

Been waiting literal ages for a reliable vendor of Varmilo keyboards, glad to see they finally came through after the recent outreach from the company. Also notice they're now offering an RGB one? Massdrop never spoke of that. Also finding it funny that ETA for MK to receive them, you could potentially buy one from them and still receive it around the same time as the Massdrop buyers.

Also last I checked, Massdrop didn't even offer Gateron Black on the last drop of the VA68M, which entirely deterred me.

It is pretty neat not having to wait for a Massdrop drop to buy one. Makes me curious as to whether MK will sell the mint keycaps. Not my favorite but a lot of people seem to like them

It's really nice, apart from the terrible font and for in explicable use of the lighter font on the front prints? So strange.

I can't get over the use of Comic Sans on the case. It's a frickin' aluminum case! Maybe I'm overreacting but so many people have mentioned Comic Sans and yet there it is, and it's probably engraved :-X

 We have no longer use the Comic Sans. The picture is not update I think and you can order from me with the new Logo case. Sorry about that.

AHA! So the picture is a placeholder for the picture yet to come!

So for those of us that have the older version. Do you have any advice on how to remove the logo?

No option for clears :( Maybe someday. I would love to have the 68M to use when I want a break from my HHKB.
How does one become so interested in a thing like keyboards? When you realize you use a keyboard more than any other tool in your life.
