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.

On the other hand, the Epomaker is a wireless model that has somewhat lower latency.
