Varmilo VA87M Sakura Edition Keyboard

The Varmilo VA87M Sakura Edition is proof that mechanical keyboards can be genuine works of art without sacrificing performance. Varmilo is known for their meticulous attention to design detail, and the Sakura Edition showcases this with a cherry blossom theme that extends from the keycap legends to the spring colors inside the switches.

The keyboard uses Varmilo’s proprietary EC (Electro Capacitive) Sakura switches, which are Varmilo’s take on capacitive switches, similar in concept to Topre. These switches are available in a single variant with a 45g actuation force, providing a smooth and quiet typing experience that won’t disturb those around you. The switches are rated for an exceptional 100 million keystrokes.

The PBT dye-sublimated keycaps feature beautifully rendered sakura and floral motifs in soft pink and white tones. The legends are crisp and will never fade thanks to the dye-sublimation process. The Rose Gold aluminum top frame adds a premium metallic touch that complements the delicate floral theme perfectly, making this one of the most aesthetically cohesive keyboards available.

Build quality is exceptional — the keyboard feels solid and premium in every interaction. The TKL (tenkeyless) layout keeps the essential keys while reducing the keyboard’s footprint. The standard USB-C detachable cable allows for cable customization. While the Sakura Edition is a display piece worthy of admiration, it is equally at home as a daily driver, delivering a typing experience that matches its beautiful appearance in every way.
