Amazing Keyboard

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. Cons This 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.

Blue&purple review from a non-keyboard person who just likes the sounds

REVIEW KEYWORDS: CREAMY SOUNDS, BORING KEYBOARD DESIGN, GREAT CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS, MINIMALIST LOOK&FEEL, I FEEL LIKE A DAINTY FAIRY PRINCESS TYPING ON THIS, OOOH PRETTY SHINY LIGHTS I'm so new to keyboards. I've had mechanical keyboards but I quickly grew out of the loud clacky sounds and the keyboards started gathering dust on shelves. I heard someone using a keyboard with a creamy sound and they told me about it when I asked. I went searching and it took me about an hour of Amazon searching, reviews, etc, but I can happily say I've found the creamiest keyboard ever. The keyboard looks like a classic keyboard but I kinda wish it didn't and had a more unique look tbh. It's a bit plain (not talking about the colors) as far as the physical style of the keyboard, but given what were getting, I think this is good enough. I changed the keycaps out and I'm very happy I did. I added a pic, it's space and science themed which I love, more colorful, and I think works better for me. Don't be nervous to try swapping them out! Sounds? Creamy. The creamiest keyboard you've ever heard. My gawd the sound makes me so happy and calms me at the same time. Just listen to my video. I'm usually a heavy handed typer but with this keyboard, it's sensitivity of pressing is kinda light so it registers less heavy presses quicker (if that makes sense lmao) so I end up tying lighter handed??? Idk. It's cool. I love the thockey sound. It's such a deep well rounded sound that makes me happy. I work in tech support and sometimes have to call people on the phone to help them, and I've already gotten compliments on the sounds. One user said that my typing was like keyboard asmr 😂😂 anyway I love this thing. There are plenty of other reviews that can talk about specs n stuff. As someone absolutely not knowledge about keyboards and switches and isn't interested in changing that, this is a good keyboard. The sound is the creamiest while audible but not too loud. while the color scheme is a bit boring (as were the other options, this just was the less-boring-est), you can always change out the keyaps yourself. Hope this helps someone make a decision!

Jaw-droppingly excellent

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!

Bought it for my husband and now it's mine

First I want to say that I initially bought this for my husband as he had bought a walmart clicky brand keyboard and was finally growing tired of the clicky sound lol. Well as the keyboard enthusiast I suggested this one as it was simple and a few of the review videos had sounded promising. When it arrived the first thing I noticed was the heft, this was made with durable material and not light weight at all, which put some ease to my mind that it wasn't just made of cheap plastic. The size was just perfect, I couldn't be happier, and when I typed for the first time the creamy and thocky sound just itched the right place in my brain. I could not get enough of it. I love that there are 3 types of way that you can connect, BT; Dongle or wired. I always prefer wired. The keycaps are nice, although I prefer rounded keycaps to the sharp square ones, I did replace the factory keycaps and I just fell in love with this more. The switches sound nice and deep and honestly, this is almost perfect for me, I'll be playing around with this keyboard especially since it's hot swappable and I might try other switches. For those just starting out with interest in the keyboard area, this is a great first start with a not too expensive price point! I did end up having to buy another keyboard for my husband since I stole this one, it was definitely worth it though! Can't wait to mod this one a little more!
