The build quality is great and the keyboard also works well in wireless and Bluetooth modes. It also works in wired mode without batteries. The switches (silent red) are very nice but had some ping noise, so I put some foam in the case, but the ping noise was still audible, just not as loud. After lubing the switches and putting a second foam between the plate and PCB the switches are very quiet and smooth. Overall the keyboard is pretty good for a prebuilt, but if you don't like the loud noise you would have to do some modding.
Keyboard and build quality are great. Bluetooth and 2.4ghz connection have been stable. My only complaint about this keyboard is the annoyingly loud ping noise (Cherry MX Red switches). I contacted Varmilo and they said these already have sound dampening foam so it's pretty disappointing how loud it is.
Above reviewer is correct. Keyboard wouldn't work just plugged in. I had to put the batteries in and the bluetooth receiver to then get it to start working.
The manual is pretty much existent but with all that said it's still an excellent keyboard.
It looks good so far. I had an issue to connect it in a cable mode.
Apparently, you have to switch modes and default one is bluetooth.
FN DEL is the magic hotkey for me. I found it by brute-forcing with assumptions that I have to use FN key.
Not sure why it's not part of instructions.
