Product Description

The Varmilo APT108 Sakura R2 is a full-size mechanical keyboard suited for users who want flexible switch options and multiple connection modes. It fits those who value easy customization through software and prefer a keyboard that can switch between wired and wireless use. Its hotswap PCB supports various MX-compatible switches, making it a good choice for hobbyists who like to try different switch types without soldering.

Key Features

  • Hotswap PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, allowing quick switch changes without soldering.
  • Programmable via Varmilo’s web application for custom key assignments and macros.
  • Connects through USB-C wired, Bluetooth 5.0, or 2.4 GHz wireless, offering versatile use cases.
  • Preset multimedia key combinations simplify media control without extra software.
  • South-facing RGB lighting reduces interference with certain keycap profiles and switch types.

Build and Typing Experience

  • Full-size ANSI layout with 108 keys, including dedicated multimedia keys, suits users needing a complete keyboard.
  • Plate-mounted switches provide a stable and consistent typing feel.
  • Keycaps are 1.3mm thick Dye Sub PBT, which resist shine and offer durable legends.
  • Double-layer silicone sound absorption reduces typing noise, improving acoustic comfort.
  • Adjustable two-step kickstands allow users to set preferred typing angles.

Connectivity

  • Wired mode offers a 1000 Hz polling rate for responsive input, suitable for tasks requiring low latency.
  • Bluetooth mode supports wireless convenience but has a lower 133 Hz polling rate, which may affect responsiveness.
  • 2.4 GHz wireless provides a middle ground with 250 Hz polling rate and less latency than Bluetooth.
  • Three-way cord channel lets users route the cable from left, right, or center, improving desk organization.

Compatibility and Customization

  • Supports Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems for broad compatibility.
  • VIA-compatible firmware enables easy remapping and macro programming without complex tools.
  • Does not support QMK firmware, limiting advanced customization options for some users.

Trade-offs

  • Polling rates vary significantly by connection type, so wireless modes may not suit users needing very low latency.
  • North-facing switch stems limit compatibility with some keycap profiles preferred by enthusiasts.
  • ABS top and bottom case materials may be less durable or premium-feeling compared to metal or higher-grade plastics.
  • Full-size layout increases desk footprint, which may not suit users with limited space or preference for compact keyboards.
