!Product Description
The Varmilo APT108 Yakumo is a full-size mechanical keyboard designed for users who want versatile connectivity and easy switch customization. It suits typists and general users who prefer a traditional layout with multimedia keys and want the option to swap switches without soldering. Its wireless and wired modes offer flexibility for different setups.
Key Features
- Hot-swappable PCB allows changing switches without soldering, supporting Cherry MX Blue, Brown, and Red stems.
- Programmable via Varmilo’s web application, enabling custom key assignments and preset multimedia shortcuts.
- Three connection modes: wired USB-C, Bluetooth 5.1, and 2.4 GHz wireless, catering to desktop and mobile use.
- Polling rates vary by connection, with highest responsiveness on wired (1000 Hz) and lower rates on wireless modes.
- Three-way cord channel offers flexible cable routing for cleaner desk setup.
Build and Typing Experience
- Plate-mounted switches provide stable keypresses and consistent feel.
- Double-layer silicone sound absorption reduces typing noise, improving acoustic comfort.
- Thick dye-sub PBT keycaps resist shine and wear, maintaining texture over time.
- Adjustable two-step kickstand allows users to set preferred typing angles.
Connectivity and Compatibility
- Wired USB-C connection ensures low latency and broad device support.
- Bluetooth 5.1 and 2.4 GHz wireless modes add convenience for wireless use, though with lower polling rates.
- Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems using a standard US QWERTY ANSI layout.
- Does not support QMK or VIA firmware, limiting advanced custom firmware options.
Trade-offs
- Polling rate drops significantly in wireless modes, which may affect fast-paced gaming responsiveness.
- Absence of QMK or VIA support restricts deep firmware customization preferred by some enthusiasts.
- North-facing switch stems may limit compatibility with certain keycap sets designed for south-facing stems.
- RGB backlighting is present but details on customization are limited.
