The AULA F99 and F75 keyboards are wireless mechanical models in AULA's wider F series lineup. They have a gasket mount design that lends a soft, slightly springy typing quality. They also have hot-swappable PCBs, allowing you to change switches without soldering. Using the downloadable configuration software, you can customize various expected settings, like key assignment and RGB settings.
We bought and tested the compact 96% AULA F99, but a smaller, compact 75% version of this keyboard, called the AULA F75, is also available. There are also AULA F99 Pro and F75 Pro models, which have identical internal components but minor differences, including visually different case designs and switch options. For more details, see the Differences Between Variants section.
Our Verdict
The AULA F99/F75 are great for gaming. They offer impressive latency performance suitable for playing games in all genres at a casual or competitive level. They also have full RGB backlighting. That said, they only have decent overall build quality with significant deck flex and a fairly cheap-feeling plastic case. Also, note that the keycaps don't have shine-through legends, so you can't read them in darker settings.
Impressive all-around latency performance.
Per-key RGB backlighting.
Build quality is only decent.
Extremely inconsistent and confusing retail documentation and technical specifications.
Unintuitive software with somewhat limited keymapping, only compatible with Windows.
The AULA F99/F75 are very good keyboards for office use. While they only have decent build quality and fairly cheap-feeling plastic cases, they do offer an excellent overall typing experience with a springy, gasket-mount design. That said, typing may feel too soft and flexible if you generally prefer a stiffer board. They're also on the louder side despite the linear switches and layers of dampening material inside the case.
Excellent typing quality.
Connects wirelessly via 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth.
Build quality is only decent.
Extremely inconsistent and confusing retail documentation and technical specifications.
Unintuitive software with somewhat limited keymapping, only compatible with Windows.
The AULA F99/F75 keyboards are adequate for use with tablets and mobile devices and can connect wirelessly with up to three devices simultaneously via Bluetooth. They also provide excellent typing quality and have outstanding compatibility with major mobile and tablet operating systems. The larger F99 is quite large and heavy to take on the go, but the smaller F75 is a more manageable size.
Connects wirelessly via 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth.
Build quality is only decent.
Extremely inconsistent and confusing retail documentation and technical specifications.
The AULA F99/F75 are good keyboards for programming overall. They offer an excellent typing experience with a soft gasket mount design, but they may feel a bit too springy if you prefer a slightly stiffer board. They also connect wirelessly and have per-key RGB lighting. Unfortunately, they lack shine-through keycaps, so you can't read legends in low light. Also, their build quality is only decent, and while they have high-quality PBT keycaps, the case is made of much cheaper-feeling ABS plastic.

The AULA F99/F75 keyboards are sub-par for entertainment or home theater PC setups. While they connect wirelessly and support multi-device pairing with up to three devices simultaneously, they lack dedicated media keys. The F99 variant is fairly big and unwieldy to use from a couch. That said, the F75 is a smaller option with a dedicated volume knob. Unfortunately, while both keyboards also have RGB backlighting, they lack shine-through keycaps, so you can't read legends in the dark.

Build quality is only decent.
No dedicated media keys.
Keycaps lack shine through legends; keys are hard to read in the dark.
The AULA F99/F75 keyboards offer great raw performance. They have impressive latency and support a 1000Hz polling rate without any bottlenecking, making them suitable for playing games in any genre at any competitive level. They also support N-key rollover by default and have good chord-split performance for rhythm games or other titles requiring many simultaneous inputs.
Impressive all-around latency performance.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The AULA F99/F75 are available in a range of colorways. Some retailers offer multiple switch types, while others don't provide switch option details at all. The name and availability of certain colorways and switch types vary dramatically depending on your retailer of choice and possibly your region. In the table below, we've provided an overview of the most commonly found configurations.
We bought and tested the AULA F99 in a Blue/White/Black colorway and with undisclosed switches. For more details on the switches we tested, see the Switches section.

*The Pro variants in this lineup offer different switch options, colorways, and case designs—most notably, some F99 Pro models include a knob, which is absent on all standard versions. As far as we can tell, the internal components are otherwise identical, so we expect our review to apply equally to both the standard and Pro models.
** The Max variant has a small LCD screen in the top right corner, but otherwise has identical internal components as the standard and Pro models. For more details, see the Extra Features section.
Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The AULA F99/F75 are wireless models in AULA's wider lineup of F series keyboards. These are budget wireless models with gasket mount designs and hot-swappable PCBs, offering impressive hardware customizability and typing quality right out of the box. They're somewhat less expensive than similar options, like the Epomaker TH80 Pro or the Keychron V5 Max. However, they have worse build quality than both, with significantly worse gaming performance and less capable and intuitive software than the Keychron.
These are impressive and versatile mechanical keyboards, given their price point. Unfortunately, they also have extremely poor and inconsistent retail documentation, with many listings variously citing slightly different technical specifications, incorrectly translated switch names and features, and a broad and confusing set of colorway options that vary dramatically depending on which retailer you choose. This may not be an issue for everyone, but it does make for an unusually confusing and uncertain buying experience.
For more recommendations, see our picks for the best keyboards, the best wireless keyboards, and the best budget and cheap keyboards.
The Keychron V5 Max and the AULA F99 are wireless mechanical keyboards with gasket mount designs. The Keychron has significantly better build quality and is designed to be easily disassembled. It also offers slightly better raw performance and a much more intuitive and flexible software configuration. Comparatively, the AULA has an even softer-feeling gasket mount, but its software is clunky, and its purchasing experience is much more confusing, with conflicting information, confusing variations, and uncertainty about exactly what components you'll receive.
Both the ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 and the AULA F75 are entry-level wireless mechanical keyboards. The Royal Kludge (RK) has a slightly smaller 60% form factor and feels marginally better built. On the other hand, the AULA has a larger compact (75%) form factor with dedicated arrow keys and a function row. It also has a volume knob which the RK lacks. Unfortunately, it feels a bit cheaper overall, and the buying experience is a lot more confusing, with inconsistent documentation and some uncertainty about which components you'll receive. It also has a significantly better typing experience with a very soft gasket mount and extremely smooth pre-lubed switches and stabilizers.
The Epomaker TH80 Pro and the AULA F75 are wireless, entry-level mechanical keyboards. The Epomaker has better overall build quality with a sturdier chassis made of higher-quality plastic. On the other hand, the AULA has slightly better typing quality with a significantly springier-feeling gasket mount design. It also has better overall gaming performance. Unfortunately, its buying experience is more confusing as the online retail documentation is very poor, and there's some uncertainty about exactly what components you'll receive in your board when you buy it.
The DrunkDeer A75 and the AULA F75 are mechanical gaming keyboards. The major difference between them is that the DrunkDeer keyboard uses Hall-effect switches, allowing you to customize individual switches' actuation and reset points. It's also a wired-only model and has a tray mount design that makes it noticeably stiffer to type on. Comparatively, the AULA uses standard mechanical switches. It's also a wireless model and has a much softer and springy-feeling gasket mount design. Unfortunately, it's a more confusing buying experience with poor documentation and some uncertainty about what components you'll receive.
