Unboxing My Built to Order Varmilo VA113 Mechanical Keyboard
Channel: Hikosaemon
Date: 2020-12-29

I wanted to get a custom built keyboard with the layout I wanted, the switches I wanted, the keycaps I wanted, but without the hassle of soldering and risk of screwing it up. I found Varmilo which will build custom keyboards to order, which you can specify every single part, and they do JIS and ISO layouts. Check out the unboxing here.

Here is the maker of the keyboard that I got:

It has sound dampening foam
113 key white positioning plate
Violet LED backlight
Sky Blue ABS+PC top case
Purple ABS+PC bottom case
Custom keycaps
Cherry MX Silent Red switches
JIS Japanese 113 key layout (110%)
Keycaps designed with no Japanese sublegends
