AULA F75 Pro Review: Is This $70 Wireless 75% Keyboard Worth It?
The AULA F75 Pro is a 75% wireless mechanical keyboard that sells for about $70 at the brand’s own store. For that money you get a gasket-style frame, pre-lubed linear switches, side-printed PBT keycaps and three connection modes. That is a long feature list for a budget board.
It is also a keyboard with a split reputation. One reviewer loved the sound and the build quality. Another could not type a full sentence on the unit he received. We read both sides so you can judge the risk before you buy.
How we built this review: This article combines the official specifications on AULA’s product page with the hands-on findings of Sypnotix and the PeriphHQ video review embedded below. Coverage from Keystroke Kings and ShopSavvy fills in the gaps. Every measurement and opinion below is credited to its source.

The Good and The Bad
👍 The Good
- ✔ Gasket-style frame with five layers of padding gives a soft, creamy sound.
- ✔ Side-printed double-shot PBT keycaps feel great and resist fingerprints.
- ✔ Tri-mode connection: 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.0 and USB-C wired.
- ✔ Hot-swap sockets take 3-pin and 5-pin switches, and a puller is in the box.
- ✔ Street price of about $65 to $70 is low for this feature list.
👎 The Bad
- ✘ One reviewer received a unit with double letters and spacebar faults.
- ✘ The knob is plastic-feeling, a little loose and has a white center some reviewers dislike.
- ✘ The case snaps together, so opening it is risky.
- ✘ Software is basic, and AULA publishes no battery-life figure.
- ✘ Spec details differ between sources, from key count to battery claims.
The F75 Pro is a strong value pick among wireless 75% boards when your unit works as intended. PeriphHQ calls it a very high-quality keyboard for the price. Sypnotix praised the design but hit serious typing faults, so buy from a seller with an easy return policy.
What’s in the Box
AULA’s official store lists the following items in the package:
- One AULA F75 Pro keyboard.
- One USB-C cable.
- One keycap and switch puller.
- Two extra switches.
- One dust cover.
- A user manual with a link to the software download.
PeriphHQ confirms the keycap puller, spare switches and cable in his unit. The 2.4 GHz receiver docks in a slot at the top left of the frame, which keeps it from getting lost in a bag.
Design, Build and Layout
A 75% layout with a volume knob
Sypnotix counts 81 keys plus a volume knob. The extra column sits flush with the main block, and the arrow keys have no gap either. He would prefer a little space there, but he did not make many typing errors on the layout. AULA’s details page lists 80 keys, so the exact count depends on how you tally the knob.
A two-stage kickstand props the board up quite high. The case is thick at the back, which slopes the keys, so Sypnotix found the flat position fine for his taste. He left the first kickstand stage on during his review.
Plastic case with a gasket structure
The shell and frame are plastic. Sypnotix felt a little disappointed at first after reviewing a string of metal boards. After some time he called it well constructed. The case does not creak when flexed, and the structure does not trap much dust.
PeriphHQ argues that plastic is not a downside here. He says plastic bodies can sound the nicest, while metal can sound hollow or tinny. He also notes that the gasket mount gives the keys a little travel, so the typing feel is cushy rather than rigid.
AULA lists five layers of padding made from IXPE, Poron-style foam and silicone. PeriphHQ describes a polycarbonate plate, a sound-absorbing cushion, base foam and a silicone base mat. His verdict is that the stack is a real feature you can hear, not a gimmick.
There is one warning. The case snaps together, so taking it apart risks breaking a clip. PeriphHQ advises leaving it stock. You will not need to open it, because the switches are pre-lubed and the stems are clip-on.
Keycaps that resist fingerprints
The keycaps are double-shot PBT with side-printed legends. Sypnotix calls them extremely comfortable and notes that the matte finish does not hold fingerprint oils. The tops stay clean, and the south-facing LEDs shine straight onto the side legends. PeriphHQ gives the keycaps a 10 out of 10 and describes a cherry profile with a good texture.
Side printing has a trade-off. The legends are harder to find at a glance, especially on the gradient colorways. If you care about the plastic itself, our keycap materials guide explains why PBT is the usual upgrade over ABS.
The knob is the weak spot
Sypnotix describes the knob as a little loose in rotation, though it works fine. It is the only metal part on the top face. PeriphHQ calls it mediocre and dislikes the white center. He adds that it pulls off easily if you want to swap in a different knob.

Switches, Sound and Typing Feel
Reaper, Star and the other options
The default switch is the pre-lubed LEOBOG Reaper, a linear switch. AULA also sells the board with Star, Graywood V3, Barbie, Strawberry Mint and Silent switches. PeriphHQ received the gradient blue model with LEOBOG Star linear switches and called them really nice and well lubed.
One source disagrees on the switch type. Keystroke Kings calls the Reaper switches tactile, while AULA and Sypnotix describe them as linear. We follow the manufacturer here.
The sound profile
Sypnotix describes a creamy, thocky sound. He disagrees with the marketing claim that the switches are quiet, but says that does not matter because they sound great. ShopSavvy flags volume as the main drawback for people in shared spaces.
PeriphHQ reports only a tiny ting on the spacebar that he barely noticed until he tried to observe it. The other stabilizers were fine. He prefers mechanical switches over Hall effect for sound and feel.
Hot-swap and easy lubing
The PCB accepts both 3-pin and 5-pin switches. A puller and two spare switches come in the box. PeriphHQ points out that the stems are clip-on, so you can pop them out, add lube and snap them back in. He did not need to, because the factory lube was already enough.
Gaming with the F75 Pro
PeriphHQ says the board felt responsive in games and would work fine for most players. He quotes a 1,000 Hz polling rate, which he says costs you little against 8K Hall-effect boards. This is not a Hall-effect keyboard, so there is no adjustable actuation or rapid trigger. If that matters to you, look at our Attack Shark X68 HE review, the MELGEEK MADE68 Pro review or the Logitech G PRO X TKL Rapid review.
Software and Lighting
South-facing RGB
The RGB gets pretty bright, according to Sypnotix, and the south-facing LEDs light the side-printed legends directly. He counts 16 preset effects, and AULA adds 10 music-rhythm effects. A plain white light over the pink and gray gradient keycaps was his favorite combination.
Driver software
AULA offers a driver for macros and per-key lighting, and the product page links to the download. Sypnotix says it does the job but offers little extra control, as with most software in this price range. ShopSavvy notes that you can handle basic lighting with the knob alone.
Connectivity, Battery and Compatibility
Three ways to connect
You can use the 2.4 GHz receiver, Bluetooth 5.0 or a wired USB-C cable. PeriphHQ says it supports all the normal inputs. Keystroke Kings reports that you can pair up to five devices. AULA lists Windows, macOS, Android and iOS support, and its details page adds PlayStation and Xbox.
The mode switch, the USB-C port and the receiver slot all sit together at the top of the frame. Sypnotix likes that tidy arrangement. ShopSavvy adds that FN plus B shows the battery level.
Battery life: what to expect
AULA fits a 4,000 mAh battery but does not publish a runtime. The reviews give a rough range. Sypnotix expects about a week off the plug with the RGB on, though he could not test it fully. Keystroke Kings reports about four full days of moderate use.
Plan for several days to a week of wireless use. Turning the backlight off should stretch that figure, since lighting is usually the biggest drain on a wireless board.
Size and weight
The board measures 12.7 x 5.64 x 1.7 inches, or 32.3 x 14.3 x 4.3 cm. A retail listing puts the weight at about 2.24 pounds, which is around 1.0 kg. AULA’s own pages do not list a weight.
Quality Control: What Reviewers Reported
The Sypnotix unit
Sypnotix saw problems almost right out of the box. He reports double letters, spacebar faults and other misfires, and he says it was nearly impossible to type a full sentence. He suspects key chatter, sticking or stabilizer trouble. The faults appeared over 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and wired USB-C.
He also saw the spacebar keycap catching on the M key. The edge of the M keycap showed whitening and chipping. In games, the spacebar fault made his character hop like a bunny. He switched to another keyboard to finish the review.
The PeriphHQ unit
PeriphHQ used his board nonstop for a couple of weeks. His only complaint was the tiny spacebar ting. He found it responsive in games and very solid overall.
What this means for buyers
Sypnotix says his sample could be an isolated case, and two reviews are a small sample. Still, mass-produced budget boards vary from unit to unit. Test the spacebar, the stabilizers and any double-typing on day one with a typing test.
AULA’s official store lists a 30-day money-back guarantee and a one-year replacement warranty on its own orders. Check the return policy of any other seller before you pay.
