How to Choose the Best AULA Keyboard

Aula Keyboard

Before looking at individual models, it helps to understand the decisions that actually matter. The following sections cover each factor in plain terms.

Mechanical vs Hall Effect

AULA sells two fundamentally different types of keyboards, and the difference is not just marketing. Mechanical keyboards use physical contact switches — a spring-loaded stem presses down onto metal contacts to register a keypress. The feel, sound, and actuation force depend on the switch type. These switches use the standard MX footprint, which means they are compatible with a wide range of third-party switches and keycap sets.

Hall Effect keyboards use magnetic sensors instead of physical contacts. A magnet inside the switch stem moves past a sensor, which detects the position of the key at every moment. Because there is no contact wear, the sensor can read the exact position of the stem continuously. This enables two features that physical switches cannot match: adjustable actuation point (you choose how far down the key must travel before it registers ) and Rapid Trigger (the key resets as soon as it starts moving back up, rather than waiting for it to return to a fixed reset point).

These are not the same compatibility system. Hall Effect magnetic switches on AULA keyboards use a proprietary magnetic switch footprint, not the standard MX footprint. You cannot install a standard MX mechanical switch into a Hall Effect keyboard, and you cannot install a Hall Effect magnetic switch into a standard mechanical keyboard. The AULA Hero68 Mini goes further, using an exclusive low-profile magnetic switch that is not interchangeable with full-height Hall Effect switches from other models. Always check the product page before purchasing replacement switches.

Keyboard Layout

Layout refers to how many keys the keyboard has and how they are arranged. AULA currently offers keyboards in the following layouts:

• 65% (67 keys): No function row, no navigation cluster. Maximum desk space saving. The F65 is the current AULA option in this category.
• 75% (80–81 keys): Retains the function row and arrow keys in a compact footprint. The F75, F81, HERO 75 HE, and AG75 all use this layout.
• TKL / 80% (87 keys): Full function row and navigation keys, but no number pad. The F87 Pro and F87 Pro V2 use this layout.
• 68-key: A compact layout used by the HERO68 Air, F68 RX, and Hero68 Mini. Slightly different from a standard 65% arrangement.
• 84-key: Used by the HERO 84 HE. Sits between TKL and 75% in key count.
• 96% / 98-key: Includes a number pad in a compressed layout. The F99 (99 keys) and F99 Max (97 keys) use this approach.
• 100% / Full-size (108 keys): Complete keyboard with full number pad, function row, and navigation cluster. The F99 Pro and F108 use this layout.

For gaming, layouts from 65% to TKL are generally preferred because they leave more desk space for mouse movement. For office work or data entry, a number pad is often essential. The 75% layout is a popular compromise that keeps the function row and arrow keys while remaining noticeably smaller than a TKL.

Wired vs 2.4GHz vs Bluetooth

Most AULA mechanical keyboards support all three connection modes (tri-mode). Hall Effect keyboards are more varied: some are wired only (AG63, AG75, F68 RX, HERO 84 HE, Hero68 Mini), while the HERO68 Air and HERO 75 HE support tri-mode including wireless.

For competitive gaming, wired or 2.4GHz wireless is recommended. Bluetooth polling rates are typically lower (125Hz on most AULA mechanical models), which adds latency. The HERO68 Air is notable for achieving 8000Hz polling in both wired and 2.4G wireless modes, making it one of the few Hall Effect keyboards that does not require a cable for competitive play.

Switch Feel

AULA mechanical keyboards come with linear switches as standard on most models. Linear switches have a smooth, consistent feel from top to bottom with no tactile bump or audible click. They are popular for gaming because there is no resistance at the actuation point. Some models offer tactile or silent options — check the individual product page for available switch variants before ordering.

Hall Effect switches also come in linear and tactile variants. The HERO 84 HE, for example, offers Black Emperor (linear), Sea Emperor (clicky), and Jade Emperor (tactile) options. The AULA AG63 offers Ice Dragon (smooth linear), Ice Sound (quiet linear), Ice Xuan (balanced tactile), and Eight Treasures (crisp sound profile).

Hot-Swappable Design

Hot-swap sockets allow you to remove and replace switches without soldering. Most AULA mechanical keyboards confirm hot-swap support with 3-pin and 5-pin MX-compatible sockets. The HERO 84 HE supports swappable magnetic switches. The AG75 uses a tool-free ball-catch quick-release structure for component swapping rather than traditional per-key hot-swap. Feature availability varies by model — always verify on the product page.

Polling Rate, Scan Rate, and Latency

The polling rate is how many times per second the keyboard reports its state to the computer. A 1000Hz polling rate means the keyboard reports 1,000 times per second (every 1ms). Higher polling rates reduce the maximum possible input delay.

AULA’s Hall Effect keyboards push significantly higher than standard. The AG63 reaches 32,000Hz (32K) with a 256KHz scan rate and 0.03ms latency. The AG75, HERO68 Air, and HERO 84 HE reach 8,000Hz (8K). The F87 Pro V2 Supremacy edition reaches dual 8000Hz with 0.125ms latency on the mechanical side. Standard AULA mechanical keyboards typically operate at 1000Hz in wired and 2.4G modes.

Note that the AG63’s 32K polling rate requires a USB 3.0 port. Using a USB 2.0 port will limit performance.

Rapid Trigger and Adjustable Actuation

Rapid Trigger is a Hall Effect-exclusive feature. On a standard keyboard, a key must return above a fixed reset point before it can register again. With Rapid Trigger, the key resets as soon as it begins moving upward, regardless of position. This allows much faster repeated keypresses and more precise strafing in FPS games.

The AG63 offers 0.001mm Rapid Trigger precision. The AG75 also offers 0.001mm RT with a range of 0.001–3.4mm. The HERO68 Air offers 0.005mm RT with a 0.1–3.4mm range. The Hero68 Mini offers 0.01mm RT with a 0.01–3.1mm range.

Rapid Trigger is not available on mechanical keyboards. If this feature is important to you, you need a Hall Effect keyboard.

Keycap and Switch Compatibility

AULA mechanical keyboards use standard MX-compatible hot-swap sockets. This means they accept most third-party MX-footprint switches, and their keycaps are compatible with standard MX-stem keycap sets. AULA’s Keycap Set category offers over 100 options, and the Custom Keyboard program allows you to order personalised keycaps in Cherry or KCA profiles.

Hall Effect keyboards use magnetic switches with a different footprint. Standard MX switches are not compatible. The Hero68 Mini uses an exclusive low-profile magnetic switch that is not interchangeable with standard Hall Effect switches. If you plan to swap switches on a Hall Effect keyboard, confirm which switch type the specific model uses and whether compatible replacements are available.

Software Support

Most AULA keyboards have dedicated drivers available from the Software Driver download page. The AG75 and some other Hall Effect models use AULA Web HUB 3.0, a browser-based driver that requires no installation. The Hero68 Mini uses AULA HUB 2.0. For a complete setup guide, the blog post How to Use AULA Software covers the full configuration process.

Work, Gaming, and Mixed Use

For pure gaming, Hall Effect keyboards with Rapid Trigger and high polling rates offer a measurable advantage in competitive play. For office work, a full-size or 96% layout with a number pad, quiet switches, and good battery life matters more. For mixed use, a 75% or TKL mechanical keyboard with tri-mode connectivity and a gasket mount structure covers both scenarios well without being optimised for either extreme.

AULA F75 — Best Overall Mechanical Keyboard

Best for: Gamers and office workers who want one keyboard for everything

The F75 is the most versatile keyboard in AULA’s current mechanical lineup. Its 75% layout keeps the function row and arrow keys while taking up noticeably less desk space than a TKL. The gasket mount structure uses five layers of noise reduction material, which softens the typing sound and gives the keys a slightly cushioned feel compared to a tray-mount design.

Connectivity covers Bluetooth 5.0 (up to three paired devices ), 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C wired. The 4000mAh battery supports weeks of use with the backlight off. Hot-swap sockets accept 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches, so you can replace the pre-installed LEOBOG linear switches with any compatible third-party option. An aluminium control knob handles volume, media, and lighting without requiring software.

The F75 is available in ANSI and ISO layouts, with ISO variants for German and Spanish layouts. This makes it one of the more accessible AULA keyboards for European buyers who need a localised layout. The main trade-off compared to the F87 Pro is the smaller layout — if you regularly use the Delete, Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys as standalone keys rather than Fn combinations, the TKL format may suit you better.

Polling rate is not specified on the product page. Rapid Trigger is not available on this mechanical model.

AULA F65 — Best Compact Mechanical Keyboard

Best for: Small desks, travel setups, and minimalist builds

At 67 keys and 804g, the F65 is the most portable mechanical keyboard in AULA’s current range. The 65% layout removes the function row and navigation cluster entirely, which takes some adjustment if you are used to a larger board. In return, you get a keyboard that fits comfortably on the smallest desks and leaves maximum space for mouse movement.

The F65 supports 1000Hz polling in wired and 2.4GHz modes, dropping to 125Hz over Bluetooth. The 4000mAh battery and tri-mode connectivity match the F75. Switch options include Reaper, Volcano, and Wind Spirit variants. Hot-swap support is confirmed.

Compared to the F75, the F65 gives up the function row and arrow keys in a dedicated position. If you frequently use F-keys for shortcuts or gaming macros, the F75’s layout is more practical. The F65 is the better choice when desk space is genuinely limited or when portability is a priority.

AULA F87 Pro — Best TKL Mechanical Keyboard

Best for: Gamers who want a full function row without a number pad

The F87 Pro uses an 87-key TKL layout that retains the function row, arrow keys, and a navigation cluster while removing the number pad. This is the most popular layout among PC gamers because it keeps all the keys used in most games and applications while freeing up desk space to the right of the keyboard.

Tri-mode connectivity covers Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz, and USB-C. Polling rate is 1000Hz in wired and 2.4G modes. Full NKRO anti-ghosting ensures every simultaneous keypress registers correctly. The keyboard is listed as compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

Switch options include Agile, Begonia/Ice Feather/Meteor, and Gray Wood variants. Hot-swap is confirmed. The F87 Pro is the entry point for AULA’s TKL range; the F87 Pro V2 is the upgraded version with significantly higher polling rates and battery capacity at a higher price.

AULA F87 Pro V2 — Best High-Performance Mechanical Keyboard

Best for: Competitive gamers who want mechanical switches with the highest possible polling rate

The F87 Pro V2 is available in three editions — Master, Grandmaster, and Supremacy — with the Supremacy edition reaching dual 8000Hz polling and 0.125ms latency. This puts it in the same polling rate territory as AULA’s Hall Effect keyboards, though without Rapid Trigger capability.

Battery capacity is 12000mAh on most colour variants and 10000mAh on the White Contour Line / Reaper Switch option. The gasket mount structure uses 5–7 layers of sound dampening depending on the edition. The Supremacy edition’s dot-matrix display adds 49 RGB LEDs on top of the per-key RGB, for a total of 223 lighting zones.

Switch options include Meteor Ice Cream (1.3mm actuation, fast for gaming ), Meteor (1.2mm actuation), Caramel Latte (2.0mm actuation, more deliberate feel), Feather Light (1.6mm, light linear), Begonia (1.6mm), and Reaper (1.8mm). The web-based driver (Fn + M) handles SOCD, MT, TGL, and CB modes without requiring software installation.

Compared to the F87 Pro, the V2 costs more but delivers substantially better battery life, higher polling rates, and more RGB customisation. Compared to the AG75 Hall Effect keyboard, the V2 offers more switch variety and a wireless option, but lacks Rapid Trigger.

AULA F99 — Best 96% Mechanical Keyboard

Best for: Users who want a number pad in a more compact footprint than a full-size keyboard

The F99 uses a 99-key layout that includes a number pad but arranges the keys more tightly than a standard 100% keyboard. The result is a board that is noticeably smaller than a full-size keyboard while retaining all the keys most productivity users need.

The 8000mAh dual-cell battery is the headline specification. With RGB lighting on, the product page states up to 53 hours of use; with lighting off, up to 400 hours. Tri-mode connectivity covers USB-C, 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth 5.0. Hot-swap is confirmed for all keys.

One important note: the ISO version of the F99 is a single-mode keyboard that supports wired USB connection only. It does not support 2.4G wireless or Bluetooth. If you need wireless connectivity, choose the ANSI version or confirm the specific variant before ordering.

Compared to the F99 Pro, the F99 uses a 99-key layout rather than a full 108-key layout, making it slightly more compact. Both share similar battery capacity and connectivity options.

View the AULA F99 on AULAKeyboard.com

AULA F99 Pro — Best Full-Size Mechanical Keyboard

Best for: Productivity users, data entry, and anyone who needs a complete keyboard with a number pad

The F99 Pro is a 108-key full-size keyboard with a gasket mount structure, 8000mAh battery, and tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth 5.1, 2.4G, USB-C ). It includes a multimedia knob, side-printed PBT keycaps, and a 1.2mm slotted PCB. Hot-swap supports 3-pin and 5-pin switches.

Switch options include Flame Purple Switch V2 and Whale Ocean Switch. The gasket mount uses IXPE switch pad, PET foam, and a silicone base pad for a quieter typing experience than a standard tray-mount full-size keyboard.

The F99 Pro is the better choice over the F108 if you want a higher battery capacity (8000mAh vs 4000mAh) and a multimedia knob. The F108 has a slightly lower price range and offers semi-silent switch options that the F99 Pro does not.

View the AULA F99 Pro on AULAKeyboard.com

AULA F108 — Best Value Full-Size Keyboard

Best for: Office users who want a full-size keyboard with quiet switches at a lower price

The F108 covers the same 108-key full-size layout as the F99 Pro with tri-mode connectivity and a gasket mount structure. The 4000mAh battery is smaller than the F99 Pro’s 8000mAh, but the product page notes around 60 hours of use at medium RGB brightness and over 30 days with RGB off.

Switch options include Caramel Latte, Feather, and Wind Spirit variants, with a semi-silent switch option available in the Pink and Yellow colour variants. This makes the F108 one of the more office-friendly options in AULA’s mechanical range for users who prefer quieter keystrokes.

Compared to the F99 Pro, the F108 has a smaller battery and no multimedia knob. It is the more practical choice if you primarily use the keyboard at a desk with regular charging access and do not need the extended wireless endurance of the F99 Pro.

AULA HERO68 Air — Best Wireless Hall Effect Keyboard

Best for: Gamers who want Hall Effect performance without a cable

Most Hall Effect keyboards are wired because wireless transmission historically added latency that undermined the precision advantage of magnetic sensors. The HERO68 Air solves this by delivering 8000Hz polling in both wired and 2.4G wireless modes, with 0.125ms latency in both. Bluetooth 5.4 is also supported for multi-device use, though at lower polling rates.

The 68-key layout is compact without being as restrictive as a 60% board. Battery options are 3000mAh or 6000mAh depending on the colour variant. The 0.005mm Rapid Trigger precision with a 0.1–3.4mm adjustable range covers most competitive gaming requirements. The gasket mount with 5-layer acoustic design and aluminum panel construction gives it a build quality that matches wired Hall Effect keyboards in the same price range.

Switch options include Black Emperor (33gf, stable ), Nick (32gf, balanced), and Lingyun (28gf, light and fast). SOCD, Snap Tap, and Dynamic Keystrokes are all supported.

Compared to the HERO 75 HE, the HERO68 Air has confirmed detailed specifications on its product page. The HERO 75 HE offers a 75% layout with a tri-mode connection, which may suit users who prefer the function row in a wireless Hall Effect keyboard.

AULA Hero68 Mini — Best Low-Profile Hall Effect Keyboard

Best for: Users who prefer a lower typing angle and a slim profile

The Hero68 Mini is the only low-profile keyboard in AULA’s current Hall Effect range. The CNC aluminum body (220-grit anodized ) measures 314.20 × 118.45 × 26.35mm — significantly thinner than standard keyboards. The 8000Hz polling rate and 0.01mm Rapid Trigger precision (adjustable 0.01–3.1mm) deliver competitive-level performance in a slim form factor.

The keyboard uses exclusive low-profile magnetic switches — Powder King MINI (linear, 275gf initial force) and Tea King MINI (tactile, 53gf initial force). These are not interchangeable with standard full-height Hall Effect switches or MX mechanical switches. If you plan to replace switches, you must use the same low-profile magnetic switch format.

The Hero68 Mini is wired only with no battery. It is the most specialised keyboard in this guide — ideal for users who specifically want a low-profile typing experience with Hall Effect precision, but not the right choice for anyone who needs wireless connectivity or standard switch compatibility.

Mechanical or Hall Effect: Which AULA Keyboard Is Right for You?

This question comes up often, and the honest answer is that it depends on what you actually do with your keyboard. Neither technology is universally better.

Hall Effect keyboards have clear advantages in competitive gaming. Rapid Trigger eliminates the fixed reset point of mechanical switches, which means the key can register again as soon as it starts moving back up. In fast-paced FPS games, this allows more precise strafing and faster repeated inputs. Adjustable actuation lets you set a very short travel distance for faster response or a longer one for accidental press prevention. The AG63’s 32K polling rate and 0.03ms latency are specifications that no mechanical keyboard in AULA’s range can match. If competitive gaming is your primary use case and you want every possible performance advantage, a Hall Effect keyboard is the more capable tool.

Mechanical keyboards have advantages in versatility, switch variety, and everyday use. The standard MX footprint means you can install thousands of third-party switches — from heavy tactile switches for deliberate typing to ultra-light linears for fast gaming. The keycap compatibility is universal: any MX-stem keycap set will fit. Wireless options are more common and generally offer better battery life. The AULA F87 Pro V2 Supremacy edition reaches 8000Hz polling, which is competitive-grade performance for a mechanical keyboard. For office work, programming, or any use case where typing feel and sound matter as much as input latency, mechanical keyboards offer more options.

There is one point that must be stated clearly: Hall Effect magnetic switches and standard MX mechanical switches are not interchangeable. You cannot install MX switches into a Hall Effect keyboard, and you cannot install Hall Effect switches into a standard mechanical keyboard. The Hero68 Mini’s low-profile magnetic switches add another layer of incompatibility — they are exclusive to that model and cannot be swapped with standard Hall Effect switches from other models. Before purchasing replacement switches for any AULA keyboard, confirm the switch type and footprint on the product page.

For most users who game casually and work at a desk, a well-built mechanical keyboard with tri-mode connectivity and a gasket mount structure covers both scenarios without the premium cost of a Hall Effect board. For dedicated competitive players, the Hall Effect keyboards offer features that mechanical switches fundamentally cannot replicate.

Complete Your AULA Keyboard Setup

A keyboard is only part of the setup. AULA’s accessory range covers switches, keycap sets, keyboard kits, and custom options that let you tune the feel, sound, and appearance of your board.

Switches

If your keyboard supports hot-swap, replacing the pre-installed switches is one of the most effective ways to change the typing experience. The Switch category on AULAKeyboard.com includes both mechanical and magnetic switch options.

For mechanical keyboards, current options include the JJ Silent Linear Switch for quiet builds, the Leobog Ice Vein Switch and Leobog Crystal Switch for smooth linear feel, the Leobog Silent Iris and Leobog Silent Rose for silent tactile options, and the Leobog Rambo Switch for a heavier linear feel.

For Hall Effect keyboards, the Aula Purple Hall Effect Switch, IceMag Switch, Jade Emperor Magnetic, and Pink King Magnetic are available. Always verify that the magnetic switch you are considering is compatible with your specific keyboard model before purchasing.

Keycap Sets

The Keycaps Set category offers over 100 options in different materials, profiles, and designs. The Taipo WOB Black PBT Double-Shot Keycaps (180 keys ) offer a clean, durable set for users who prefer a minimal look. The Moss Shadow Frosted PC Shine-Through Keycaps (115 keys ) are designed for RGB builds where the lighting effect matters as much as the legends. For a more elaborate design, the PLATO Side Story Keycaps and Objection Overruled Night Demon Keycaps offer themed sets for enthusiast builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which AULA keyboard is best for gaming?

For competitive gaming with Rapid Trigger and the highest polling rate, the AULA AG63 (32K polling, 0.001mm RT ) is the top choice. For casual gaming with wireless flexibility, the AULA F75 or AULA F87 Pro cover most gaming needs at a lower price point.

Is the AULA F75 good for work?

Yes. The F75’s 75% layout retains the function row and arrow keys, which are useful for most office and productivity tasks. The gasket mount structure reduces typing noise, and the tri-mode connectivity allows easy switching between a work computer and personal devices. The 4000mAh battery supports extended wireless use. It is not a dedicated office keyboard, but it handles work tasks well alongside gaming.

Which AULA keyboard has a number pad?

The AULA F99 Pro (108 keys ) and AULA F108 (108 keys ) are full-size keyboards with a number pad. The AULA F99 (99 keys ) and AULA F99 Max (97 keys ) include a number pad in a more compact 96% layout.

Are AULA keyboards hot-swappable?

Most AULA mechanical keyboards confirm hot-swap support with 3-pin and 5-pin MX-compatible sockets, including the F75, F65, F87 Pro, F87 Pro V2, F99, F99 Pro, and F81. The HERO 84 HE supports swappable magnetic switches. Feature availability varies by model — always check the product page for the specific keyboard you are considering.

What is the difference between mechanical and Hall Effect AULA keyboards?

Mechanical keyboards use physical contact switches with a spring and metal contacts. Hall Effect keyboards use magnetic sensors that detect the position of the key stem continuously. Hall Effect keyboards support Rapid Trigger (instant reset) and adjustable actuation points, which mechanical keyboards cannot do. The two types use different switch footprints and are not compatible with each other’s switches.

Is a 75% keyboard suitable for gaming?

Yes. The 75% layout retains the function row and arrow keys, which are used in most games. It is one of the most popular layouts among PC gamers because it keeps all the keys needed for gaming while leaving more desk space for mouse movement. The AULA F75 and AG75 are both 75% keyboards used for gaming.

Can I use an AULA keyboard with Mac?

The AULA F87 Pro product page lists compatibility with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Other models list multi-OS support in their descriptions. However, the degree of software feature support on macOS may vary by model. If full macOS compatibility is essential, check the specific product page or contact AULA support before purchasing.

Can magnetic switches be replaced with mechanical switches?

No. Hall Effect magnetic switches and standard MX mechanical switches use different footprints and are not interchangeable. You cannot install MX switches into a Hall Effect keyboard, and you cannot install Hall Effect switches into a standard mechanical keyboard. The Hero68 Mini uses an exclusive low-profile magnetic switch that is also not interchangeable with standard Hall Effect switches from other models.

Which AULA keyboard is best for a small desk?

The AULA F65 (65%, 325 × 116mm, 804g ) is the most compact mechanical option. For a Hall Effect alternative in a similar footprint, the AULA HERO68 Air (68-key ) offers wireless connectivity and competitive performance. The AULA Hero68 Mini is the thinnest option at 26.35mm height if a low-profile design is the priority.

Where can I download AULA keyboard software?

All available drivers are listed on the Software Driver page at AULAKeyboard.com. Some models, including the AG75, use AULA Web HUB 3.0, a browser-based driver that requires no download. The Hero68 Mini uses AULA HUB 2.0. Individual product pages also link directly to the relevant driver download.

Final Verdict

AULA’s 2026 lineup covers a wider range of use cases than most buyers realise at first glance. The choice between mechanical and Hall Effect is the most important decision, and it should be driven by how you actually use your keyboard rather than by specifications alone.

For FPS and competitive gaming: The AULA AG63 is the strongest choice for players who want the maximum polling rate and Rapid Trigger precision. The AULA AG75 is the better option for players who also want to customise their build.

For office and gaming mixed use: The AULA F75 handles both scenarios well with its 75% layout, gasket mount, tri-mode connectivity, and hot-swap support. The AULA F87 Pro V2 is the step up for users who want higher polling rates and a larger battery.

For users who need a number pad: The AULA F99 Pro is the best full-size option with its 8000mAh battery and gasket mount. The AULA F99 offers the same battery in a slightly more compact 99-key layout.

For compact desk setups: The AULA F65 is the smallest mechanical option. The AULA HERO68 Air adds Hall Effect performance and wireless freedom in a similar footprint.

For personalisation and custom builds: Start with the AULA F75 or AULA AG75 as a base, then explore the Keycap Set and Switch categories, or use the Custom Keyboard program to design something unique.
