Dear friends,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum but I wanted to let everybody know that I purchased the aforementioned keyboard and it is
in the mail...The reason I wanted to share is because I had missed the massdrop buy and I went searching on Taobao.
After a quick chat with a virtual shopping assistant (bot) of the Varmila Flagship Store on Taobao I was directed to their direct email address because I am not a chinese customer. After I mailed them questions about international shipping and PayPal payments I was surprised with a swift reaction and an extensive Excel sheet with customization options.
I send them back my personal preferences such as:
- Switch type: Cherry MX, Gateron, Greetech, Kailh
- Switch color: Black, Brown, Red, Green, Milk
- LED color: White and 8 more colors
- Keycaps: Multiple colors, multicolor (gradient types), front printed, dye-sub and laser engraved
- Case color: Blue, Black, White
- Plate color: Blue, Black, White
I for one was very impressed to get these options directly from the manufacturer for a single buy. I ended up with an additional keyset as well as an additional housing in case I get tired of blue. The pricing is very good in my opinion, same as they offer on Taobao.
When I confirmed my preferences I got a PayPal invoice immediately. I am very happy about this customer experience and I didn't use a Tao agent.
If you land on this post because you desire this keyboard, go ahead and contact Varmilo directly, my experiences with Miya were very pleasant.
Cheers mates
