AULA F99 Mechanical Keyboard

The AULA F99 is a compact 96% mechanical keyboard suited for users who want most keys of a full-size board but with less desk space. It fits well for newcomers to mechanical keyboards and those who rely on a numpad and function keys. Its versatile connectivity and hot-swappable switches support customization and flexible use across work and casual typing.

Key Features

• 96% layout keeps nearly all standard keys while saving space compared to full-size keyboards.

Build and Typing Experience

• Gasket mount reduces vibration and noise by isolating the plate from the case, resulting in smoother, more tactile keypresses.
• Five layers of sound-dampening materials minimize echo and produce a stable, quieter typing sound.
• PC/FR4 plate offers a softer, more flexible typing feel compared to aluminum plates, contributing to a deeper sound profile.
• ABS plastic case keeps weight moderate but may feel less sturdy than metal alternatives.
• Cherry-profile keycaps provide a familiar, comfortable key shape.

Trade-offs
