I received my VB87M in April '17, and ended up getting an Intel WiFi/Bluetooth PCIe card to avoid interference issues with certain USB Bluetooth receivers. I used it successfully on my Windows 10 workstation, my Surface Pro 4 (using Windows 10), my iPhone 5c, and my Kindle Fire 8HD and 10HD Android tablets.
Last Christmas, I restarted my computer, and the Varmilo didn't reconnect at the login screen (not uncommon, but still annoying), so I used a wireless numpad I had on the desk to login. From that point forward, my VB87M stopped working with ALL devices. It shows up as a Bluetooth device, but it fails to pair. Windows 10 times out on the pairing process. iOS times out on the pairing process. Android gets to the authentication, but after typing in the numerical code, it fails shortly afterwards.
I've tried clearing the paired devices on the VB87M. I've tried updating and downgrading my Bluetooth drivers. I've tried using the USB Bluetooth dongle that was spotty with the keyboard (but worked sometimes). Finally, I tried purchasing a CoolerMaster MK750 and using that instead. The VB87M now sits in a box, waiting for me to throw it out or strip it for parts.
