Quick verdict

Which one should you get?

Get the

AULA F99 Pro

Hot-swappable

Build quality in the bottom 50% of 96% boards under $100.

Rules this board out

  • South-facing LEDs. Shine-through legends stay dark, and some sculpted keycaps can clip the LED.
  • Compact full-size layout. The numpad is present, the gaps of a full-size board are not.

Get the

Vortex POK3R

Build quality in the top 45% of 60% boards under $50.

Rules this board out

  • Switches are soldered. Swapping them means soldering.
  • Compact layout only. No function row, dedicated arrow keys, or numpad.
