AULA F99 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard,Tri-Mode BT5.0/2.4GHz/USB-C Hot Swappable Custom Keyboard,Pre-lubed Linear Switches,RGB Backlit Computer Gaming Keyboards for PC/Tablet/PS/Xbox

Bought this for my wife’s WFH setup. She fell in love with the Creamy Switch craze on TikTok and this was a reasonably priced keyboard that fit the bill. I found a cute sakura themed keycap set to replace these, but she said she’d have been happy with the blues and purples that came preinstalled.It looks great, feels and sounds fantastic, and does everything you’d want from a keyboard. She loves the size, specifically that it includes the number pad. Not enough decent keyboards do these days. People want minimalism in everything, but the functionality of a dedicated number pad is hard to beat.Connecting is super easy. We’re using the hardwired USB-C option, but I was able to use Bluetooth on my laptop at work while I was testing and installing the other keycaps prior to giving this as a birthday gift. She loves that it’s such a lightweight feel of typing, even noticeably so to someone without the heavy handed typing of myself, having grown up on IBM and Alps switches which allow for some decent banging.I’m not a keyboard snob or really a deep enthusiast, but some of my friends and coworkers that care more than I do really loved it as well. It’s a crowd pleaser, and that wonderful little subdued THOK on each tap is soothing as foretold.

This keyboard is a dream to use, and my only true regret about it is that I didn't get one sooner. This keyboard looks, feels, and sounds unreal so I'll go over a few more of my favorite points in detail.* The greywood switches are fantastic. The action is smooth and the actuation force is incredibly low. Having already come from an AP2 with linear red switches I bottomed them out assuming they'd feel the same, but I'm loving them being an even easier press than that. They sound fantastic when you bottom out on this board as well, it's hard to really appreciate from sample videos. They are indeed very easy to hotswap too as I've already accidentally popped them out while pulling keycaps - they're very easy to remove and set, and I look forward to trying other switch types in the future.* The key lighting is bright and comes through well on the default switches. The vertical lightbar is a beautiful little addition with a few colorful presets and pops out in a great way.* The software is very light and capable. It's very familiar-looking coming from using stuff like Obinskit for the Anne Pro 2, but it's a little rougher around the edges as you do modifications to your lighting and bindings on a low-resolution mockup of the board. It's hard to see what has been set when doing so, but it gets things done.* The keycaps themselves are beautiful and feel solid but my only con is that they have no shine-through at all. In a dark room you'll be pressed to see your keys and having the board backlight on actually only makes that harder. For this, I transplanted my AP2 alphanumeric keys with shine-through letters onto the F99 and it works like a charm. I like the rest of the board so much and it can be rectified easily so I won't even knock a star for it, but be aware of this if you're used to your other boards having more visible letters. Not having that certainly came as a surprise to me.After all, I heartily recommend the F99 for making it feel exciting again to have a keyboard hobby again!

The media could not be loaded. I am very impressed by this board. Amazing feel and sound from a very reasonable price.I was looking into doing a group buy and it was going to be like $400 before adding any extras (bluetooth, aftermarket keys, more foam / improved plate)Aula has blown away my expectations. The board has a very nice sound and feel without any modifications.Pros- Only $99-Factory gaskets and pc plate make it very solid while still retaining good flex- 8000 mah battery, this thing is a solid 3-5 pounds which makes it feel very prestigious.- Havent had to charge it once in the 4 weeks I have had it (with daily use during 12h shifts 5 days a week and casually gaming on it on the weekends) charger is also usb C.- 3 connection options make it very useful for switching between devices when needed.(I have seen complaints about the usb option, mine works fine!)- Hot swappable, while the factory brown style switches have a great sound and feel, I work in an office so I have to keep the noise down. I swapped the switches honey peaches and it is almost completely silent.- The RGBs are much better than I had anticipated. Being in an office, I use mainly white, and there are many options via the software for changing the presets color or creating your own preset. Definitely invest in clear keycaps if using white, the peaches are pink so the white turns pink, i am waiting for the clears to cone in.ConsThis will be a very short list, this thing has blown away my expectations.- When installing keycaps on corners of board there is a little too much flex and I can not get the enter cap to fully click in- to install software you must go to a google drive, it seems a little sketchy but it all worked out fine.- I am also having issue with windows commands, I think it is because the board has options for windows, apple, android. But even after clicking FN+W per the instructions the windows key is not working.Overall, no sense in gate keeping. This might be an Amazon only product for Aula, I have heard of other manufacturers doing that, so if I need support it could be interesting. I have considered buying another just to keep at home, because the pop feel of the browns is amazing.

SO DREAMY! I upgraded my current clanky keyboard with this and it is everything I have ever wanted. It’s quiet for when I’m gaming and has the number pad for office work. I love that I can change the RGB with different colors and light ways. I have already sent the link to multiple friends because they love the sound of the switches. Plus the price is amazing!!!!
