Varmilo Switches

These switches feature an MX-style cross stem, making them compatible with most standard mechanical keyboards that use MX-style sockets. However, they are intended for hot-swappable boards or custom builds; please verify that your keyboard supports the specific mounting style of your PCB.

Varmilo EC V2 switches utilize non-contact electrostatic capacitive technology, which provides a smoother keystroke and increased durability compared to traditional metal-contact switches. They are designed to mimic the familiar feel of Cherry MX profiles while offering a more refined, consistent typing experience.

Yes, you can use different switches for specific keys, such as using tactile switches for your alphanumeric keys and linear switches for your spacebar or modifiers. This is a common practice for enthusiasts looking to customize the feel and sound of their typing experience across different zones of the board.

The Kailh Prestige line is engineered for specific auditory and tactile profiles, often focusing on distinct sound signatures like the 'Sakura' or 'Daisy' variants. In contrast, the standard Cherry MX switches offer the classic, industry-standard feel that many users are already accustomed to.

A full-sized keyboard typically requires 104 switches, while a tenkeyless (TKL) board needs around 87. Since these sets come in 35 or 55 pieces, they are best suited for customizing specific sections of your board, replacing broken switches, or testing different types before committing to a full build.
