Pros and Trade-offs

Your primary need dictates the choice. If you want a full-sized keyboard with a screen, knob, and specified gaming performance, the Epomaker TH108 Pro is the clear option. If you prefer a more compact build that still includes a numpad, offers plate choices, and is easier to move around, the AULA F99 provides better value. Consider how much you value dedicated keys versus saved desk space.

AULA F99

+More compact 96% layout retains the numpad while saving desk space.

+Generally available at a lower price point based on listed vendor prices.

−Lacks a dedicated screen and control knob.
−Does not have a specified polling rate or detailed latency figures in its listed specs.
