AULA F87 Pro

The AULA F87 Pro is a compact 80% mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a balance of desk space savings and solid typing comfort. It fits gamers or fast typists needing responsive input and those who value quieter, softer keystrokes. Its hot-swappable switches and customizable lighting also appeal to hobbyists who like to tailor their setup.

Key Features

• Gasket mounting with extended silicone pad provides a softer, more elastic typing feel, reducing finger fatigue during long sessions.
• 3ms response time supports fast, accurate input, useful for gaming and rapid typing.
• Full-key hot-swappable sockets allow easy switch replacement without soldering, enabling personalized tactile feedback.
• Five-layer sound-absorbing padding improves acoustics, making keystrokes quieter and less harsh.
• RGB lighting with 16.8 million colors or monochrome backlight options, including side strip and rhythmic effects, offer visual customization.

Build Quality and Typing Experience

• Dual-tone PBT keycaps resist shine and wear, maintaining texture and appearance over time compared to ABS caps.
• Single-key slotted PCB on a PC positioning board ensures stable, consistent keypress feedback and durability.
• Adjustable double-level feet provide ergonomic typing angles for comfort during extended use.

Connectivity and Layout

• Supports both wired and wireless (2.4G) connections, allowing flexible use depending on environment and preference.
• Compact 87-key layout offers most TKL functionality while saving desk space, but lacks a dedicated number pad.

Trade-offs

• The 80% layout may be less ideal for users who frequently use a full numpad.
• Battery life details are unknown, which may affect wireless usage planning.
• Switch options are limited to customized Grey V3 and Red Yellow V3 Full-POM switches, which may not suit all switch preference seekers.
