Here is an honest, enthusiastic review for the AULA F99 Wireless Keyboard.
This keyboard is currently very trendy in the tech community because it offers “enthusiast quality” at a normal price. Here is how to position it.
Review: The “Thocky” King – Premium Sound Without the High Price
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.9/5)
If you spend all day typing or gaming, stop using a cheap plastic membrane keyboard. The AULA F99 is widely considered the best “bang-for-your-buck” keyboard on the market right now.
I tested the Grey version, and here is why it’s going viral on social media:
1. The “Creamy” Sound (The #1 Selling Point)
The listing describes it as “Creamy,” and that is accurate. Because of the Gasket Mount structure and pre-lubed switches, this keyboard doesn’t make that annoying high-pitched “clicky” noise.
Instead, it makes a deep, satisfying “thock” sound (like marbles hitting wood).
- The Benefit: It sounds incredible right out of the box. You don’t need to mod it or take it apart. It is quiet enough for an office but satisfying enough for gaming.
2. Perfect Layout (99%)
This is a masterpiece of design. It keeps the Number Pad (essential for Excel and work) but removes the empty space above the arrow keys.
- Result: It takes up less desk space than a standard keyboard, leaving you more room for your mouse, but you don’t lose any functionality.
3. Tri-Mode Connectivity
You can connect it to three devices at once.
- 2.4GHz Dongle: For lag-free wireless gaming (plug and play).
- Bluetooth 5.0: Switch instantly to your iPad, Phone, or Laptop.
- USB-C: Charge it while you play.
The battery life is massive (8000mAh), lasting weeks without the RGB lights on.
4. The “Cool” Factor
- The Knob: It features a metal rotary knob to control volume and media. It feels premium and tactile.
- RGB Lighting: The south-facing RGB is bright and smooth.
- Hot-Swappable: If you ever want to try different switches, you can pop these out and put new ones in without soldering.
The One Downside
The software to customize the RGB and macros can be a little difficult to find (sometimes the website is in Chinese/English mix), and the keycaps (the grey letters) do not let the light shine through the letters—the light glows around the keys. This is better for aesthetics, but harder to see in pitch black.
Final Verdict
The AULA F99 feels like a $200 custom keyboard, but costs a fraction of the price. The build quality is heavy and solid. If you want that “ASMR” typing sound and a board that looks great on a desk, this is the one to buy.
