Varmilo VA Series V2 Aurora Bluetooth White LED Mechanical Keyboard

After getting a long sought after web dev job he wanted to upgrade some of his equipment. The keys are soft and feel solid, color was perfect. We got the silver keys to have a good balance between soft and clicky feel and sound and it was all around perfect. Solid frame and feels like it will last him a while. Had a little trouble connecting to a different device after already connecting to another device but eventually figured it out. His favorite Father’s Day gift this year by far.

Varmilo VA Series V2 Aurora Bluetooth White LED Mechanical Keyboard

For a prebuilt keyboard, I'm very happy with using it at the desk 10 hours a day for work, and for entertainment. I went with MX Blues to make sure that all of my coworkers hate me during conference calls specifically. Humor aside, the keycaps are superb and the board is impressively solid. The plastic shell is deceptively robust. The design and feel make it a beautiful keyboard, and I'd honestly buy the Keycap set for other boards if they offered it as a purchase. The location of the USB-C input feels to be a bit clumsy to access sometimes. However with a customized cable this may not be an issue anymore. There is a severe design flaw however to be aware of if you are thinking of purchasing this model for its Bluetooth functionality. When you engage the lighting functionality, (breathing or static), this will cause immediate interference with your connection, and will cause the pairing to stop functioning. I've tried multiple devices (Personal Computers, Smartphones) and the same issue occurs regardless of the circumstances. Limitations are understandable, but this is something I think that should be disclosed, and discussed. I have noticed after combing through other reviews of Varmillo products, that this is an issue that is known to exist in other models as well. If you want to use the keyboard wireless, you will need to do so with the lights off. Wired functionality is not impacted by this, but it absolutely something to be aware of. It still is however a very nice keyboard.
