I'm not that into keyboards, but I subbed because of the tone and cadence of your voice. It's oddly calming. Your content has also improved dramatically in such a short space of time. Impressive.
I have this keyboard. Got it literally yesterday. Lubed the switches as much as I could and added tape to the back of the PCB. Best sounding keyboard I ever owned.
That's a surprisingly good sounding stock board! I'm way too deep into all of this mk hobby so it's not for me but I would totally recommend it to friends who are not craving custom builds :D
I got this as my first mechanical keyboard a few months ago, and have tried many other mechanical keyboards since, and I can honestly say that this board is amazing. I got the brown switches on mine, and it is a breeze and extremely satisfying for typing. I tried replacing the keycaps with other layouts and colour schemes, but the stock keycaps on this panda board is just better than any replacement keycap set I have tried.

Just want to say a big thank you from you & The Techne for showing the love of this keyboard to me. I'm currently typing on it now with the silver switches. I went with this over the ASUS falchion and I'm so glad I did.
Stumbled over a 70% sale on Varmilo with MX Natural white yesterday. After watching this vidoe I'm really looking forward to getting it as it seems like an upgrade from my ducky one 2 sf.Thanks
I watched your previous Varmilo X Miya Pro video and bought one Moonlight for myself. I won't lie, the stock sound from this keyboard is amazingly thocky! Best purchase decision ever!
Recently purchased this and safe to say it was worth it. Now I can unmute my mic on discord and purposely type louder so everyone can hear how amazing it sounds lol.
Just had to come back and comment on this video! Got this keyboard in the mail today (nordic RGB edition in black/white/red) and it is fantastic :) It replaces my oooooold Filco Majestouch 2 TKL, and the feel and sound of this new board is incredible. I was dead set on getting the GMMK Pro later on this year, but that itch has been scratched and I will now just stick to this gem. Thank you for the great review!
So I got this keyboard, but a different version with Cherry Reds, and the stabilizers were absolutely perfect, but there was a lot of pinging and resonance while typing. Have you experienced the same thing?
@@shogoCRKS well I use it more for gaming and the games I play don’t require me to use much of the function row so I don’t mind it. But if you need it, I would consider maybe the varmilo TKL
Honestly this is the way to do a 65% layout:) Standard keycaps ftw:D really cool board :} these colourful keycaps are not my thing, but everything else is nice:)
The one thing I don't understand is why you guys have a long left shift key. Why would you need it to be long? Having an extra key instead of a larger left shift key would surely help with fluency when coding and during other technical typings. We in Turkey have the '
Hey I just bought this exact keyboard recently using your creator code! Thanks sm for all your helpful vids! I'm now stuck trying to figure out what keycaps would replace the bamboo legend ones best. Are Cherry or are OEM profile keycaps a better match/fit with the grey and panda legend keycaps?
In case anyone wants to know, I bought the Beijing Opera design Miya Pro on 10th June 2021, and it has south mounted LEDs with the EC Sakura v2 switch. Not sure if they are south mounted with Cherry switches.
Hi Betty, first of all, nice vids in general, your team improved quite rapidly from week to week. I have the folloving confusion: I am sort of a keyboard experience enthusisast, but I don't want to own a boatload of keyboards, just the 1-2 that satisfies my needs. The biggest burdon for easily finding the one I need is that there are no exhibitions or stores where I could test 20 boards to get my winner. I have recently swapped my modded (silenced) razer ornata chroma to a Niz PLum atom. Your video about it helped me a lot to make a decision towards this less established brand instead of original topres and I did not regret it at all, loving the board quite.... though a box of lube is on the way, to loob out the scratchiness from the stems... and/but now you show this board and tell how much you are in love with it, and I just wonder:: If you have swapped your Plum to use this board instead, what was the main reason behind? (you told also in the yearly summary, that you managed to get the fastest/most pleasant typing experinece on the plum, so what does the varmilo experience give you on top, that makes you prefer that even more? )
Betty, I've noticed that you rarely use your right pinky when typing. Instead, you often reach over with your right ring finger to press the return key :D
Hii! Im really loving this one in the sakura theme! I have an imac at the moment so i was wondering do these have the switch between windows and mac mode (as the varmilo x ducky mac edition had) ? Never owned a mechanical keyboard before and now im on a deepdive in your videos 🥰😂
I cant find this in stock anywhere, and I'm very much set on the speed silvers (I mostly use laptop keyboards the short length appeals to me). Would you say the Ducky One2 SF is a worthy alternative?
I'm actually looking at this myself, just from my research, the One2 SF is currently almost half the price of the Miya as it's on sale where I live, so if you can get a good deal, I'd say it is a good choice. It's slightly smaller and doesn't have a standard layout, but if you don't plan to change the keycaps, I don't think that's an issue.
I have the Ducky One2SF (year of the pig edition.Not sure if those are still out there). I highly recommend it. It's been perfect for a year now with zero issues.
@@TBD_TeebsBoth boards are great but just so you know, the Ducky Miya Pro keyboards are more 90% Varmillo with 10% Ducky branding, so the quality of the stabilisers and keycaps and board build is a bit better in the Varmillo boards thus the price difference.
well thanks for the reccomandation but still i kinda regret the fact i was too dumb and simply pick and buy the hunstman mini before thinking or trying it.
Question: Does the color matter for switches. If I were to get the free black one or the silver one that costs an extra 11 dollars. Would the quality/sound change
Thanks for the amazing review! Been getting into keyboards and binging this channel. Do you know where I can find this or a similar keyboard with Cherry MX Silver Switches?? Thank you so much in advance for any pointers.
Yeah they are very hard to find in the UK. I was planning on buying this a couple of years ago when I was looking for my first board, but it's been sold out for the longest time
You almost had me with that one! Is it called a 75% if the function row was there? As a gamer i'm looking for a keyboard that has everything besides the numpad :P I love your videoes! I've never heard about that brand before, but i will definitely look into it! :D
Please do a review on the new Keychron C1 W/ Hotswap and RGB backlighting! I really want an honest opinion on whether i should buy it for the price or is there better, my budget is only 75 euro or below so anyone else in the comments please tell me if there is better!
I have this keyboard and it has a disgusting amount of pinging noises... besides that, the typing experience is very good. I think it's because of the switches I got, I got mine with mx clears and I think it's the springs inside the switch that's causing the ping. Knew I should've gone with red lol. Either way I still like the keyboard very much
Btw you should try and review new Varmilo keyboards with improved key caps and their own new electric/ mechanical switches! I recently got an old model and mine doesn't even have USB C port but still... pricey, haha
I’m currently deciding between the Ducky Miya Pro in Cherry MX silvers versus the Varmilo MA87M in EC v2 Sakura switches. Prices are similar so that is not an issue. Can anyone offer me their input? I like a nice tactile response with thonk!
I’ve got the ducky x varmilo Miya pro panda edition. Cherry MX brown switches and it has barley been used only once when I typed and I sold my pc so I won’t be needing it so hmuif you want to buy it
I am looking to buy the ducky miya pro rainbow with brown switches. Would you recommanded to a programmer. (i don't really use any complicated key combinations and I know that you can not change the function of some keys) My only fear is that the keyboard might have minor bugs like not registering some keys and this is a huge deal since typos in programming are killing your workflow and might be incredible irritating. But I think you had used it for a couple of weeks or months and can give me a honest brief opinion.
Looks amazing! Is the Panda/Sakura worth it over say the Moonlight? I like the layout on the Moonlight more, but it doesn't come with the Varmilo switches.
Great video! Do all Ducky SF keyboards sound and perform this good? Whats these MX silvers like compared to something like Gateron reds? Any scratchy scratchy sounds? The stabs sound good. This may worth be buying then to change out the keycaps. Shame port is on the right hand though.
what would you recommend that's around this budget and build quality, but how swappable? Cause I'm really not sure about the switch I should get (commitment issues i guess)

What is USP?

Although I originally got a MIYA Pro to suit my WFH setup, it has become my goto all the time board. A little flash and solid all around performance.
Really cool video! I enjoyed it.
This was COOL!
Loepold makes some really good pre-lubbed, and foam damped keyboards. They come in super basic colors and configs though with no leds.
Agreee! Leopold makes nice boards for sure
which switches should I buy ?
Awesome video and channel, suscribed

I wish you could get it on Amazon :(

Thoughts on the Miya 68-C
I think it is basically the same thing but with varmillo ec 2 switches which are supposedly very good
Yeah, same thing just different switches. Those EC ones are prelubed
@@SwitchandClickOfficial thx
I am now leaning to custom keyboard any suggestions for a case since the nk65 is all out of stock
