Product Feature

The new series of Varmilo mechanical keyboards use high quality mechanical switches and Varmilo's own EC switches to guarantee the stable internal structures and tactility.

Daily Maintenance

To clean a keyboard, pull out the keycaps using a key puller, put the keyboard upside down, pat the back of the keyboard to pour out impurity, and brush off the impurity and dust that are adhered to the keys. If residuals exist, wipe them off using a clean cloth with some alcohol. After that, dry the keyboard in a cool and ventilated place. To avoid a loose or fallen USB port, do not frequently plug, unplug, drag or bend a keyboard cable, especially for a keyboard with separate cable and keys.

Standard Accessories List

Bluetooth Mode Boot

Press Fn+Insert for 3 seconds to switch on the keyboard. If keys 1, 2, or 3 flash, the keyboard has been turned on.

Device Connection

After switching on the keyboard, search for the keyboard on your PC. The keyboard appears as "Varmilo VD-1" (Varmilo VD-2 for F2 Channel, Varmilo VD-3 for F3 Channel).

For the first-time pairing, a code may be required. Enter the code and press 'Enter' to confirm the connection. Upon successful connection, the LED of the '1' key will remain lit, saving the keyboard information. (Channels 2 and 3 function similarly).

Memory Function: If the keyboard has been successfully connected to a device before, it will automatically connect to the last connected device after powering on. (Bluetooth connection is active for 5 minutes; if no device connects within this period, the keyboard enters sleep state).

Bluetooth Mode Power Off

Under Bluetooth mode, press Fn+Insert for 3 seconds to power off the keyboard.

Once Bluetooth is disconnected, the keyboard automatically switches to wired mode when the USB cable is plugged in.

Bluetooth Mode to Wired Mode

In Bluetooth mode, press Fn+Delete to switch to wired mode. The LEDs for keys 1, 2, and 3 will turn off.

Device Swapping

Press Fn+Delete to connect to the latest paired device. If no device is connected, it enters 'pair mode'.

You can press Fn+F1, Fn+F2, or Fn+F3 to swap to the corresponding Bluetooth channel. If a channel has not been connected to any device previously, its LED will flash, indicating it has entered 'pair mode'.

Wired Mode to Wireless Mode

Under wired mode, unplugging the USB cable automatically switches the keyboard to wireless mode and connects to the latest device.
