Product Description

The Varmilo VBS108V2/VBM108V2 Crane of Lure Series is a full-size mechanical keyboard suited for users who value a blend of traditional aesthetics and versatile connectivity. It fits typists and casual users who want a visually distinctive keyboard with multiple switch options and both wired and wireless modes. It is less ideal for those needing full Mac compatibility or extensive customization features.

Key Features

  • Three-mode connectivity on VBS108V2: Bluetooth 5.0 wireless, wired USB Type-C, and a third mode for flexible use.
  • Multiple switch options including Cherry MX and EC switches, allowing users to select tactile or linear feedback based on preference.
  • High-quality PBT keycaps with dye-sublimation printing provide durable legends and a textured feel that resists shine.
  • Three-level adjustable kickstand and three-way cable routing improve ergonomics and desk organization.
  • ANSI layout with 108 keys suits standard full-size keyboard users.

Design and Build Quality

  • Inspired by traditional Chinese art, featuring Mountain Green and Xuan Paper White colors with golden lure mold accents.
  • Key legends use Shoujin script, a historic font style, alongside English, adding cultural detail.
  • Manually tuned stabilizers reduce key wobble and improve typing consistency.
  • Sturdy construction with a weight around 2.15 kg (with packaging) suggests solid build quality.

Typing Experience

  • Choice of Cherry MX or EC switches caters to different tactile and sound preferences.
  • PBT keycaps with V-Silk dye sublimation offer a comfortable, non-slippery surface.
  • Manually tuned stabilizers help minimize noise and key rattle on larger keys.

Connectivity and Compatibility

  • Bluetooth 5.0 enables wireless connection to laptops, tablets, and smartphones for flexible use.
  • Wired USB Type-C connection ensures stable input when wireless is not preferred.
  • Compatible with Windows and Mac, but Mac support is not full, which may limit some users.

Trade-offs

  • Limited Mac compatibility may affect users relying on macOS-specific functions.
  • No mention of firmware customization or key remapping options, which may limit advanced user customization.
  • Relatively heavy and large footprint may not suit users needing a compact or highly portable keyboard.
