Varmilo Chang’ e Backlit PBT Tenkeyless Keyboards

The VPH87 Chang’ e is a high quality, tenkeyless, mechanical, PC keyboard by Varmilo with a Starry Sky and Imaginations, Goddess of the Moon theme.
Chang’ e, the goddess of the moon in Chinese mythology, stole the elixir, drank it, and ascended to the moon. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Chang’ e has been depicted as a beauteous lady. Gradually, Chang’ e was always mentioned when people stared at the starry sky, studied the lunar phase, and enjoyed the night view.
Ancient Chinese people created countless romantic stories based on the tale of Chang’ e.
The Hua Culture Girls Series is the the symbolic chinoiserie illustration of the famous Chinese illustrator Li Huan. He selects traditional Chinese cultural elements, personifies them, and designs the image.

Colour Scheme – Starry Sky and Imaginations

Chang’ e themed keyboard comes with the tone of the starry sky. The deep blue case, the traditional Chinese grain patterns, and the galaxies bring the charm of the starry sky with Chinese taste.

Lunar Phases Design

The Patterns on the function keys is another innovation – printing light-colour lunar phases on dark-colour keycaps depicting the everchanging lunar phases. To implicitly illustrate the alluring moonlight, the keycaps adopt a ‘dark background colour with light printing’ design. As the backlight is off the moon fades out, as the backlight is on the moon shows up.

Font design

The seven stars of the Big Dipper were indispensable in the astrology in ancient China. In the seven stars, Dubhe, Merak, Phecda and Megrez constitutes the bowl part, which is called ‘kui’ in ancient China, while Alioth, Mizar and Alkaid make the handle, called ‘Shao’. Together, the seven stars form the big spoon, also called ‘the upside-down spoon’. The Chang’ e themed keyboard incorporates the seven stars into the character design at their corresponding places.
You will also find the decorative patterns of the Twenty-Eight Mansions to mingle keyboard design with the complete starry sky adored by ancient Chinese people.
