  • When I'm comparing to the Miya Pro (red/black/white board) it is using Cherry MX Silvers. Should have plugged that info in the vid, my bad.

    • Wanted to pass on something I learned not long ago! It's not actually the friction that wears-down the contacts in normal physical-contact switches; it's the tiny amount of arcing that happens as the contacts approach or pull away from each other. Little by little, that arcing corrodes the contacts. The diagram Varmilo used for the EC switch is cool with the big zappy arc to show how the contacts don't touch - but that's kind of the opposite of what's actually happening, and generally when compared with a normal switch. Normal ones actually do arc like that before and after they touch, if on an almost microscopic scale. EC switches don't arc (or touch) at all, and that's why they last so much longer.

  • Another board with the same case finish is the VA104C "Calculator". Now, looking at your keebee, you may not want to purchase as the colorway is very similar. What stands out mostly is. of course, the CALC numpad, but I LOVE the custom key caps and their themed legends. oh, and check out the secondary spacebar included. Fantastique! Built like a tank each Varmilo release pays attention to the smallest aesthetics and details...truly built for Keyboard Artists.
