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.
Bought this about 5 months ago (roughly). Absolutely fantastic keyboard, would easily give it a 10/10. It ticks every box I consider to be a good keyboard. Also have the matching numpad to go with it. Went through about 8 keyboards before I finally landed on this one. By far my favorite keyboard and has been my daily driver since I bought it. Ended up buying a 2nd for work. Great review as always!
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.

WOW! That is almost perfect sounding to me. I have not heard a keeb that sounds like that out of the box and that would be my first pick to if I did not want to build my own. Sweet and thank you for that review. Very informative and a nice board to add to my collection.
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.
Wow. Those stabs are unreal. As this was playing I just opened another tab and bought the Moonlight version. Currently using the Fnatic Streak65 which has pretty decent stabs but there is no comparison to this.
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.
@@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
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?
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:)
I’m really liking this board. Think I’ll need to get one! I had a Durgod Hades and gave it to a friend. Right now I have a Keychron K2 for hotswap experimentation. Think I want this one for general use. Wish I could have gateron ink blacks in this!
I am thinking of trying the DURGOD with Gateron silent browns (have already ducky and Razer). Can I ask what did you not like on the DURGOD and gave it away? Thank you
@@christoskokkolis5110 Oh, I didn't dislike anything about it! Just gave it away, cause my friend has a garbage razor keeb. Give him the durgod and a deskmat as a gift. I really liked it though. Just wanted this K2 so I could swap switches.
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! Thank you for all videos which you make with the Switch and Click team! I would like to ask question, which bluetooth keyboards do you recommend? If this Miya Pro would have the bluetooth connection included I would buy straight away, but unfortunately it doesn't. The connection is kinda important for me as in the close future I might use my personal computer and also the laptop from work. I would love to have this possibility to switch between them without any wires. So far the Keychron K4 seems be the king as supports, windows, linux and mac. I would like to know your opinion about wireless keyboards, which is worth to pick. The size does not matter that much, as long is bigger than 65% (has the arrow keys). Thank you for your time and the suggestions. :D FYI, I'm based in Europe if this changes anything ;)
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?
I got this as my first mechanical keyboard 2 months ago, and trust me it is worth it. I've tried other keyboards since but can honestly say that none of them come close to this keyboard.
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? )
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 '
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
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
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.
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’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!
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
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.
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.

Wow those stabs sound amazing out of the box! I'd say this is a wonderful board for a beginner keyboard enthusiast, excellent review

@@SwitchandClickOfficial I am remodeling my entire office because I love it so much! I will send you my video of it when it is done if that's okay. :)
I don't how everyone skips this. Yours is the only channel where I understood the USP of Varmilo boards. THEY COME PRE-LUBED OUT OF THE BOX.
What is USP?

Glad it was a good vid
Stock Cherry silvers are my fav. They sound and feel smooth. Obviously even better lubed but stock they are the best among the Cherrys
Yep! I agree. They feel so smooth
I ordered a keyboard from Varmilo thanks to you a month ago, and now every day I religiously watch the sound test until it arrives
I'm a sucker for oversized deskmats. I also have a black and white theme going right now so this is very tempting. Great video!
This was my first keyboard and is still the one I use today and this shows up in my recommended now lol
Actually my favorite layout... I looked into this and I ended up getting the ikki68 aurora :)
Love it! I looked into that board too, but I need to save money haha.
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.
Yay! It's super lovely
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I went with the moonlight theme as it matches my Tron: Legacy theme. :)!
Wow. Those stabs are unreal. As this was playing I just opened another tab and bought the Moonlight version. Currently using the Fnatic Streak65 which has pretty decent stabs but there is no comparison to this.
Still loving your videos. I do prefer your old intro music. That fun sequence of notes at the end is your signature.
when you hit 1 million remember me.
I will
I recently bought the Moonlight variant as my first mechanical keyboard. I couldn't be happier to use it every day.
Stock stabs from varmilo and akko is pretty good (imo)
As far as stock keyboards go this is definitely one of the best
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
noti gang !!!
also im saving up for this board after deciding that i couldn't live without my arrow keys
edit: well this but the sakura version
Niceeeeee
2:04 I love how she says: "It's pretty cute" and then just yeets it
Love how everything is out of stock now lol
Only black switches are left, I buy it before these sell out too :D
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!
Yes! So glad you agree
What switches did you choose??
I'm really excited to receive mine! I went with the Fairy colorway but I CAN'T WAIT.
Hope you enjoy it!
love the colour balance on this video! you guys are betting better and better every day! :D keep up the amazing work!
Thank you!
Bought the niz plum thanks to this channel. It blows the rest out of the water
Yeah it's a great board, but it's definitely more niche
@@SwitchandClickOfficial big fan of blacks and preferred heavier switches in general, but the niz 35g feels so good
Very impressive sound for a factory pre-built board! I like the new intro tunes, too - very professional.
Thank you! Variety is the spice of life after all
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.
Another great video!! I committed and got the Miya Pro Moonlight edition. Hopefully it arrives soon!
I personally love my ducky varmilo pro with cherry mx reds. The stock stabs are unmatched!
don't you miss a function row? Im on the verge, im looking to replace my tkl but i use fonction row pretty often
@@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

Hey Betty, absolutely love the channel! Amazing and fully deserved growth.
This is awesome, I’ve been thinking about going to a 65% over my frozen llama and I think I found it. Thanks for this great review for it
Glad it was helpful!
Show the panda some love, don´t throw him away
By the way: awesome review! I just received mine and couldn´t be happier. Thank you very much
just got this with the varmilo daisy switches super hyped
Amazing video production quality on this review!
Woooo!
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:)
I agreeeeeeee
OH MY GOD I HAVE THE SAME STUFFED PANDA
Varmilo must Cherry Pick those MX switches because they feel better than any other keyboard with mx switches that i tried.
I would get this keyboard if it wasn't for the layout. I prefer to not have any gaps in the bezel. I'm deciding between a Akko 3068 or a GK68x.
I have the gk68xs, it's worth it. Hot swap and better switch options than the akko
I’m really liking this board. Think I’ll need to get one! I had a Durgod Hades and gave it to a friend. Right now I have a Keychron K2 for hotswap experimentation. Think I want this one for general use. Wish I could have gateron ink blacks in this!

i love this channel - simple and informative stuff - straight to the point
It’s better than more expensive keebs. Seems solid and the sound is just great including the stabs which is very rare.
Love the Ducky x Varmilo Miya Pro Panda 😍👌 💯

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

Yea, keycaps are subject to change
Hi Miss try reviewing the "techware B68" ^_^
I just got the sk61 panda theme lol
Is there a wireless mechanical with numpad and a solid compact build (no armrest) out there?
which switches should I buy ?
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.

Question, when you do your typing sound test.....what is it you are typing on the keys......”the quick brown fox.....” saying?
I'm typing some random quote off keyhero
I know it’s not out yet but do you think buying the gmmk pro would be worth upgrading from the gmmk compact
I love this keyboard, only problem is the backlighting shines through the big enter key on UK layout and its really ugly so I keep the lights off
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.
Please do a review of the Asus ROG Falchion. I think it brings some really good features to the 65% lineup of keyboards.

sadly I can't afford Ducky...(I'm using Ajazz K680T which has the same layout)
