Varmilo Sakura VA87M, TKL, Cherry MX Red, US

The name Varmilo may not be familiar to the average consumer. But what the manufacturer saves in marketing costs, it invests in the material and processing quality of its keyboards. Varmilo Sakura VA87M also stands out from the majority of mechanical keyboards with its eye-catching keycaps.

Especially for experienced users who have already developed a taste for mechanical switches and are not deterred by using shortcuts for macros or LED configuration, this keyboard can prove to be a real gold mine. Varmilo pays special attention to the inner workings and refines the typing feel with details such as a shock-absorbing foam mat and additionally greased stabilizers.

If you’re into RGB lighting on your keyboard, I apologize, the Varmilo Sakura VA87M aren’t for you. Varmilo wants to show off its design and RGB should not get in the way of it.

The Varmilo Sakura VA87M come with braided miniUSB. They are of decent length and should reach your desktop just fine. It’s nice that the cables are braided too for extra protection.
