“Best keyboard ever purchased. its quiet, great lighting, customizable and comdortable. Inhighly recommended!!!”
“After a couple months of using this keyboard it began doubling the space bar input. I took it apart, cleaned it, there's something wrong with the internals. The keys are nice and it works otherwise. But it has an intrinsic problem. Would not recommend.”

AULA F108 vs Keychron V6 Max: your questions
The AULA F108 lists an 8000mAh battery, while the Keychron V6 Max lists 4000mAh. Capacity alone does not establish how long either keyboard will run in every use condition.
The Keychron V6 Max lists QMK and VIA support, with Keychron describing key remapping and macros through its Launcher web app. The AULA F108 listing does not specify QMK or VIA support.
Both list 1000 Hz polling over 2.4 GHz and wired connections, as well as N-Key Rollover. The V6 Max offers linear, tactile, and clicky switch choices, while the F108 lists linear switches.
Both keyboards are listed as hot-swappable. The F108 vendor description specifies 3-pin and 5-pin switches, and Keychron says the V6 Max supports most 3-pin and 5-pin MX mechanical switches.

Knob support is listed for the Keychron V6 Max. The AULA F108's listed extra features do not include a knob.

The Keychron V6 Max is the stronger fit for buyers who want keyboard remapping and macros, because it lists QMK and VIA support. It also has more listed layout options, while the AULA F108 is ANSI.
Both keyboards have south-facing LEDs, and both compatibility notes warn that some sculpted keycaps can clip the LED. The warning applies to both models, so check keycap fit before choosing an alternative set.
