I bought the Varmilo Sakura (TKL model) from you a couple months ago for my niece. It's gotten nothing but compliments on how beautiful it is.

The girl's love the colour and of course the detailed flowers in the space bar, that seems to attract them like bees.

Go figure, Varmilo know how to sell keyboards to girl's and that in itself is quite remarkable.

I have this on my desk at home - contemplating bringing it to work, but I don't want to have to explain it to everyone! It's a lovely keyboard, and for having a plastic frame the weight surprised me.

It's got a white LED on the MX switch under the Page Up key. Not sure what's up with that, but I'm likely going to try to remove it.

While it is very nice these colors may turn some people off...

The funny thing is, the guys I've showed it to think it's the neatest thing. The females I've shown it to ask "yeah, but whyyyyyy?!"

You DO know Varmilo makes several color schemes for their keyboards, right?

No of course I don't. Judging by the name I thought it may be some kind of special edition.

You're right - this particular keyboard is called the Varmilo x Ducky MIYA Pro, but it's part of Varmilo's Sakura styled keyboard line.

Varmilo makes other keyboards in various colors.

Hello, may I know which model you bought? VA87M or VA68M?

The LED under the Page Up key is mode indicator. I would like to clarify this key's function : Press FN and Page Up , F line exchange to Number line ( At the moment, LED of Page Up is on, but LED of Page Down is off )

I pre-ordered the "Ducky MIYA Pro Sakura" for my wife on 1 Oct from Alternate here in The Netherlands and i expected it this month.
But after emailing them they told me it's delayed..

She's currently typing on my FC660M with mx-clears so the layout is almost the same.
i always liked what Varmilo is doing with this board. Unlike the non standard R-shift and spacebar strangeness on the Leopold keyboards.. The Varmilo board excepts your standard keycap set..

But let's face it no one is going to change the keycap set of this beauty my wife saw the keycap set and she fall in love with it no matter what i did she did not want any other keyboard not even the WhiteFox ..

Really the only thing missing is being able to program this board..
with TMK software , how cool would that be hahaha.. i would buy several of them and us them as modding boards.
To tryout different switches like the new box switches from input club.

i got her mx-browns because there was nothing better available..
Hoping it well get in soon.. Great work Varmilo and nice collaboration with Duck making this board world wide available
i like it !!

How about adding a guy color/layout for me..

I see! I pressed Fn + Page Down and the Page Down LED is now lit, and the number row functions as F-keys. Very cool! I may still take out the top LED, as I imagine I'll normally want the number row to be numbers, and, whether or not Page Down is lit will serve as a binary indicator as to whether or not the mode is active.

Nice work Mr. Varmilo!
Are the legends and art work on the key caps printed or dyesub?

By the way, thanks for taking the many advices from the Western world to use fonts other than the Comic Sans for your logo.

They are all "dye-subbed" with no exceptions.
