The decision hinges on whether you prioritize a dedicated numpad and maximum battery life or a space-saving design with a potentially more premium case material.

The AULA F108 Pro is the more practical and value-oriented choice for most users, offering superior battery life, a useful control knob, and a full-size layout at a lower cost. Only choose the Royalaxe L98 if your primary need is a more compact keyboard with an aluminum case and you are willing to pay a premium for it, accepting the trade-offs in battery size and lack of a knob.
The AULA F108 Pro wins in scenarios demanding a numpad, long battery life, or granular control via a knob, such as office work, content creation, and gaming. The Royalaxe L98 is the better pick for travel due to its more compact 98% layout. For programming and general typing, the choice is a tie, coming down to a personal preference for full-size versus space-saving layouts, as both offer excellent core typing features.
