Pros and Trade-offs

For most users, the Yunzii B98 Pro is the more compelling choice due to its superior customization tools and extra features.

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

The Yunzii B98 Pro wins in scenarios demanding high customization, such as programming, modding, and content creation, thanks to its QMK/VIA firmware and OLED screen. It also holds an edge for gaming due to its specified polling rate. The AULA F99 Pro is better suited for office environments and travel, where its lighter weight is a practical advantage. For general typing, the choice hinges on preference for the AULA's described multi-layer foam sound profile versus the Yunzii's aluminum plate and PBT keycap feel.

GamingYunzii B98 PRO
  • The Yunzii B98 Pro lists a 1000 Hz polling rate, which the AULA's specifications do not mention.
  • Both have N-Key Rollover, but the Yunzii's listed NKRO is explicitly confirmed in its vendor description.
  • The Yunzii's aluminum plate may provide a more consistent, rigid platform for rapid key presses.
OfficeAULA F99 Pro
  • The AULA F99 Pro is slightly lighter at 1023g versus 1161g, making it easier to move on a desk.
  • Both have a 96% layout with a knob, but the AULA's vendor description emphasizes space-saving for desks.

TravelAULA F99 Pro

  • The Yunzii comes with two interchangeable knobs (a 3D cat and a round metal knob) for aesthetic mods.
