Among the customized mechanical keyboards, choosing a suitable metal shell is undoubtedly the biggest problem. Although higher quality metal materials are good selling points, the more cool shape design is undoubtedly easier to like. The Varmilo metal shell with colorful anode technology is undoubtedly dazzling.
Varmilo, also known as Amillo, this colorful anode metal shell is still in the process of proofing, and may appear slightly rough in details, so we don't need to be too tangled. When seeing Varmilo metal shell for the first time, many people may feel that it is made of plastic. It also takes a little time to adapt to the patterns. It's quite good at dazzling. Those who like elegance may be a little tangled.
The side is cut by lines, making the overall design more lightweight. With its own base design, it conforms to the human mechanics of typing on the slope. From the edge, the effect of colorful anode is more wonderful. Of course, the feeling like splash ink is really easy to make clean people dislike it.
More carefully, it can be found that the Varmilo metal shell is an integrated upper cover, which integrates the positioning plate and the shell. The use of integrated upper cover not only requires higher processing, but also improves the hand feel. According to relevant technology, the integrated upper cover needs to use a file machine for opening, which is high in process and labor costs.
The details of each part of the integrated upper cover, such as the fillet treatment and the hidden Varmilo trademark. Of course, the leading role is still the graphic expression of colorful anode. The first contact may feel that these patterns are paint splashes, which will have a certain touch. But it's actually flat, and it's very interesting to have a three-dimensional sense.
Of course, what is more interesting is the colorful anode process. According to my shallow knowledge of mechanical keyboard, Varmilo should be the first to use the colorful anode process, and the cost is also slightly higher. The colorful anode also has an interesting feature, that is, the pattern is different each time, which makes each integrated top cover unique.
The chassis part has corresponding pillars. Of course, the performance of this colorful anode can be seen everywhere.
The back of the integrated upper cover is still the performance of colorful anode. Of course, it is a pity that the Varmilo metal housing is still in the engineering prototype, so it is not equipped with a corresponding PCB. It's no good to use it for daily use, but it's OK to test it.
Leopold's alloy ink PBT key cap is used to test the handle, which I think is the best. In fact, the problem of hand feeling is metaphysical. Maybe I think it's appropriate, but you can't accept it. It's also a problem that is difficult to adjust, so the description of hand feeling is only for reference.
The Varmilo metal housing uses an integrated upper cover, and the biggest improvement is the feedback vibration. In the view of some red axis players, the vibration feedback of the positioning board is tiring even for the red axis players. The integrated upper cover integrates the upper cover with the positioning plate, so that the vibration feedback can be ignored. Because it is determined that the overall rigidity of the plate is strengthened, the bending caused by knocking, that is, the vibration feedback, is almost impossible to occur.
Varmilo metal shell is characterized by colorful anode and integrated upper cover. Due to process and cost problems, this colorful anode is often used for export products, especially in the mechanical keyboard circle. Of course, the pattern is unique, and the performance after the anode is very good.
The integrated upper cover is also rare in the mechanical keyboard ring. In addition to making the fixed plate use colorful anode, the biggest help of the integrated upper cover is to avoid slight vibration feedback, which is often referred to as hand shaking. This is a good thing for those who are very picky about their touch.
