The AULA team sent over the Aula F75 Max for me to test, and since this keyboard has been showing up everywhere lately, I was genuinely curious to see what it was like. It has been getting a lot of attention in the budget enthusiast space for offering features you normally see at a higher price point. A gasket mounted 75 percent layout, tri mode wireless, south facing RGB, a small TFT screen and the option to pair it with LEOBOG Reaper switches definitely make it stand out on paper.

I started using the black Reaper version as my main keyboard for writing, editing, work and some late night gaming to see how it holds up in normal everyday use. If you are still figuring out how the 75 percent layout compares to TKL or full size, the mechanical keyboard sizes guide gives a simple overview. And if you are new to switch types, the linear vs tactile vs clicky switches guide explains how Reapers behave.

Instead of basing this review on quick impressions, I wanted to see whether the popularity around the F75 Max is actually deserved. How it feels to type on for long sessions, how the wireless performs, how the switches sound on a gasket mount and whether the board has any real weaknesses that don’t show up in short videos.

This review is a combination of all of that, the day to day experience, the good parts, the small annoyances and whether the F75 Max is worth considering if you want a comfortable and capable 75 percent keyboard.

First Impressions and Design

The AULA F75 Max makes a strong first impression as soon as you take it out of the box. The black variant has a clean and modern look that works well in both minimal setups and gaming oriented desks. The keyboard has a reassuring weight to it and feels more solid than what you normally see in this price range. The footprint is compact without removing anything essential. You keep the arrow keys, the function row and the navigation cluster all in a tighter layout which is the main reason many people prefer this form factor.

For anyone who is not familiar with the differences between compact layouts, you can check my guide on mechanical keyboard sizes which breaks down where the seventy five percent layout fits in.

The keyboard sits firmly on the desk with no wobble or sliding. The default typing angle feels natural and comfortable even during longer sessions. There are no distracting design elements or loud styling choices which makes this a board that blends into any environment easily.

Build Quality and Gasket Performance

Even though the case is made from ABS plastic, it feels sturdier and more refined than you would expect at this price. There is no hollow echo when typing and the internal dampening plays a major role in this. AULA used several foam layers combined with a gasket structure which gives the keyboard a softer and slightly cushioned bottom out.

The gasket feel is noticeable without being overly bouncy. Each key press has a gentle landing which helps with fatigue during long typing sessions. This is the type of feel that many people look for when upgrading from an older membrane or a standard mechanical board. It creates a more pleasant feedback that is easier on your hands.

The small TFT screen in the corner shows the essential information such as battery and wireless mode. The knob beside it works well for volume and brightness adjustments. It does not have the premium clicky feel of a high end encoder but it is functional and convenient.

LEOBOG Reaper Switches Experience

The unit I received came with LEOBOG Reaper linear switches and they matched the board better than I expected. Reapers are light and smooth with a clean travel and a satisfying clacky sound. If you are still new to switches, the guide on linear vs tactile vs clicky switches explains how linear switches differ and why people prefer them for gaming and fast typing.

Out of the box, the factory lube on the Reapers is consistent enough that the switches feel good even without modifications. They have a quick return and a smooth movement which makes them easy to use for long sessions. The combination of a linear switch and the cushioned gasket mount creates a comfortable typing experience with a cleaner sound than expected from a budget friendly board.

If you prefer deeper and more rounded sounds, switches like Oil Kings or AKKO Cream Yellows may suit you more. I covered options like these in the best deep sounding switches guide.

Typing Experience and Sound Profile

Typing on the AULA F75 Max feels consistent from edge to edge. The gasket system and foam layers do a good job of removing any hollowness. The sound is a soft clack with a slightly poppy tone depending on your keycap material. It is not overly sharp and not too muted which makes it pleasant for both work and late night sessions.

The stabilisers on my unit were better than what I normally expect from boards in this category. The spacebar had minimal rattle and the other stabilised keys felt stable. With a small amount of tuning, they can easily sound excellent. If you are curious how different keycap materials and profiles change the sound, my keycap guide explains this in a simple way.

Overall, this is a board that feels and sounds more refined than its price suggests.

Wireless Performance and Latency

The AULA F75 Max includes wired USB C, two point four gigahertz wireless and Bluetooth. I spent several days switching between all three modes to see how each one behaves in real use.

USB C mode feels instant and predictable as expected.

2.4 gigahertz mode is the best way to use this board for gaming or fast typing. The connection is stable and latency is very close to wired. I had no disconnects or stutters while using it on my main PC.

Bluetooth mode works well for productivity, typing and general desktop use. It is ideal for pairing with a MacBook or tablet. It is not suited for competitive gaming but that is normal for Bluetooth keyboards.

If you want to understand why wireless modes behave differently, the guide on NKRO gives a simple explanation of how input processing works.

Battery Life and Everyday Use

The AULA F75 Max comes with a 4000 mAh battery which is fairly standard for a tri mode keyboard, but the real performance depends on how bright you keep the RGB. With lighting on medium brightness, I was getting roughly a full day of continuous use. Once I turned the lighting off, the battery lasted several days without needing to charge.

The auto sleep function works as it should and does not interfere with typing. The board wakes up instantly the moment you press a key. For people who like using their keyboard across multiple devices, especially laptops and tablets, the battery life is more than enough to get through a full day of mixed wireless usage.

Software and Customisation

The software for the AULA F75 Max is simple and easy to understand. You can change lighting effects, adjust brightness, record macros, remap keys and customise the behaviour of the knob. It is not meant to compete with advanced systems like VIA, but for a wireless prebuilt, it covers everything most people will need.

One thing I really liked is how the keyboard handles device compatibility. The knob allows you to switch between Windows mode and Mac mode directly from the display. You can also set the board to iOS or Android mode if you want to use it with a tablet or phone. The screen updates instantly to show which mode you are in, and this makes it easier when switching between a PC and a laptop or pairing with a mobile device on the fly.

The per key RGB is bright and evenly spread, and the customisation options are straightforward. The combination of the knob and the small screen makes the overall experience feel more practical, especially when you move between different operating systems during the day.

Modding and Hot Swap Flexibility

The F75 Max supports hot swapping which means you can replace the switches without soldering. It accepts both three pin and five pin switches which gives you full freedom to try anything you want. If you plan on experimenting with different switches, the mechanical keyboard switches guide is a good place to explore the differences.

Internally, the foam layers already handle most of the sound tuning, so even small mods can make noticeable improvements. A tape mod or force break mod can help tighten the sound profile if you prefer a deeper tone. Tuning the stabilisers also improves the spacebar sound immediately.

This is one of those boards that can grow with you. If you are new to mechanical keyboards, it works perfectly well stock. If you get into modding later, the F75 Max gives you space to improve it without needing to replace parts or buy an entirely new board.

Daily Use for Gaming, Work and General Productivity

Once I started using the AULA F75 Max every day, it became clear that this keyboard works well across almost everything. In gaming, the two point four gigahertz wireless mode makes a noticeable difference. The latency feels extremely close to wired, and the lightweight Reaper switches help with quick taps, strafing and rapid directional input. The compact seventy five percent layout also leaves plenty of space for the mouse, which is especially helpful if you use lower sensitivities or play FPS titles. Even during longer gaming sessions, the soft bottom out from the gasket mount helps reduce finger fatigue.

Outside of gaming, the F75 Max feels just as comfortable for work. Typing long documents, editing, web development and multitasking all felt smooth and consistent. The softer gasket feel and linear switches make long hours of typing much easier on the hands. The sound profile is controlled and not overly loud, which makes it suitable for indoor and shared spaces.

Switching between devices is simple, and the keyboard handles multiple operating systems very well. You can change between Windows, Mac, iOS and Android modes directly from the knob, and the TFT display immediately shows which mode you are in. This makes it convenient if you move between a desktop and a laptop or occasionally use a tablet or phone for quick tasks. Bluetooth mode works well for productivity, while two point four gigahertz mode is ideal when you need speed and responsiveness.

If you want to understand why this layout works well for both gaming and productivity, you can check the guide on mechanical keyboard sizes which explains how seventy five percent boards balance space and functionality.
