polling rate
Build quality in the top 10% of 80% boards under $100.

Pick the AULA F75 if you want a smaller 75% board with a knob and the wireless options listed in its metadata. Choose the Keychron C1 Pro if 8K polling, QMK/VIA customization, or ISO layout availability matters more. Both offer hot-swappable switches, but the C1 Pro's vendor-described 3-pin and 5-pin support gives it broader stated switch flexibility.

What will you mostly use it for?
The Keychron C1 Pro has the edge for gaming, programming, modding, and content creation, primarily through its 8K polling option and QMK/VIA support. The AULA F75 is the more travel-oriented pick on the listed connectivity and smaller layout, though it is still a 1023g keyboard. For office use, the F75's knob and gasket mount make it a practical alternative, while the C1 Pro's layout options suit buyers who need ISO. Both support hot-swapping and include sound dampening.
Pick the Keychron C1 Pro
- The Keychron C1 Pro supports an 8000 Hz polling rate, compared with the AULA F75's 1000 Hz.
- Keychron offers linear, tactile, and clicky switch options, while the AULA metadata lists silent and linear switches.
- Both keyboards have N-key rollover and hot-swappable switches.

“Works exactly as intended and still works as new. The 2.4 GHz Receiver doesn't communicate correctly and isn't reliable but on BT and Cable it works perfectly”
“I made an order for EPOMAKER x AULA 75 with express shipping on 27/1/24. Emailed the team TWICE. Now its 19/3/24, and i still dont have the item. Very poor service”

“My son loves it. Upgrade from an implosion cap version. Not used to the US layout but he it learning some python. Might as well use a US Keyboard”
“Looks great and sounds amazing but keys gets stuck/don’t work or double press too often. When I remove the key caps to clean, it still doesn’t fix the problem. Example, my 7 key doesn’t work when pressed and my G key when pressed wrotes two g’s instead of one.”
