Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you require a numpad for work, value deep firmware customization with VIA, and don't mind a larger keyboard, the Cidoo ABM098 is the better tool. If you prioritize a smaller, lighter keyboard for a tidy desk or gaming setup, and want a more budget-friendly option with a stated high polling rate, the AULA F75 is the sensible pick.

Cidoo ABM098

+Includes a full numpad in a space-saving 1800-compact layout.
+Supports VIA/QMK software for extensive key remapping and macro programming.
+Detailed sound-dampening construction with Poron foam, IXPE sheet, and silicone.
+South-facing RGB LEDs ensure compatibility with Cherry profile keycaps.
+Features a large, dedicated volume control knob.

−Much heavier (2000g) and larger, making it less portable.
−Uses an ABS plastic case, while the competitor offers an aluminum option.
−Lacks a specified polling rate for gaming performance comparison.

AULA F75

+More affordable price point based on listed vendor prices.
+Lighter weight (1023g) and compact 75% layout for better portability and desk space.
+Explicitly lists a 1000 Hz polling rate and rapid trigger feature for gaming.

+Case material listing includes aluminum, suggesting a more premium build option.

−No numpad, which can be a drawback for data entry or specific software.
−Software support is listed only for Windows, with no mention of VIA/QMK compatibility.
−LED orientation varies (north or south-facing) depending on keycap version, which may affect keycap compatibility.
