AULA F99 Pro vs MCHOSE G98 V2Lightweight vs Feature-Rich 98%

The MCHOSE G98 V2 has a larger 10000mAh battery, while the AULA F99 Pro has an 8000mAh battery. Based on the listed capacities, the MCHOSE should theoretically offer longer usage between charges, though actual runtime depends on usage patterns like RGB brightness and connection mode.

Yes, both keyboards use standard mechanical switches and have south-facing RGB LEDs, which are compatible with a wide range of aftermarket keycap sets. The MCHOSE G98 V2 comes with PBT keycaps pre-installed, while the AULA's vendor description does not specify its keycap material beyond the profile.

Yes, both the AULA F99 Pro and the MCHOSE G98 V2 feature hot-swappable PCBs. This allows you to change the mechanical switches without any soldering required, using the included switch puller tool.

The AULA F99 Pro uses a 96% layout, which is slightly more compact than the MCHOSE G98 V2's 98% layout. The AULA is also notably lighter, making it easier to move around a confined space. Both retain a numpad, but the AULA saves a bit more space.

Yes, both the AULA F99 Pro and MCHOSE G98 V2 list Mac/Win support in their extra features. They should be compatible with both operating systems via their USB-C wired, Bluetooth, or 2.4GHz wireless connections.

Both keyboards use a gasket mount structure, which aims to provide a softer, more flexible typing feel by dampening vibrations. The AULA F99 Pro specifically mentions a flexible PC plate for a softer feel, while the MCHOSE G98 V2 also uses a PC flex-cut plate and a gasket mount for elastic typing.

The metadata for the MCHOSE G98 V2 lists a polling rate of 1000 Hz. The AULA F99 Pro's polling rate is not specified in the provided information.

The AULA F99 Pro vendor description lists five layers: sandwich foam, IXPE switch pad, PET film, bottom foam, and a silicone case pad. The MCHOSE G98 V2 lists internal foam including PO silencer cotton, an IXPE switch bottom pad, a PET pad, silicone bottom foam, and bottom cotton.

It's difficult to say definitively without direct testing, as both implement multiple layers of sound-dampening foam. The final sound depends on the installed switch type (linear or clicky). The MCHOSE offers both linear and clicky switch types, while the AULA F99 Pro options shown are linear.

The main difference is the amount of space between key clusters. A 96% layout, like the AULA F99 Pro, often removes a few navigation keys and tightens the spacing more aggressively. A 98% layout, like the MCHOSE G98 V2, keeps almost all full-size keys with only minimal spacing reduction, often making the transition from a full-size keyboard easier.

The AULA F99 Pro vendor description mentions the AULA Driver software for customizing key mapping, RGB effects, and macros. The MCHOSE G98 V2 vendor description does not mention dedicated software, focusing instead on onboard features like the calculator key and audio-reactive lighting.
