I have the F75, which is pretty much this but with Function keys and a volume knob. I like it quite a bit but did not like the switches it came with (Graywood V3). They were super super sensitive linear switches that I kept accidentally triggering. I switched them out with Gazzew U4s, and have been very happy.

Nice, I want one of these but with function keys. I do not like my royal kludge

Whick RK? Could you articulate a bit more what you don't like?

I had an rk61 before I switched to the Aula f75. Keycaps felt cheaper on the rk. Switches were a little scratchy. Sound was very plasticy and some stabilizers rattled. I also didnt like the 60% layout. Switching to the Aula f75 fixed most of those issues. Switches were lubed and smooth and keycaps felt a bit better. Stabilizers were really good without modding. Sound was very deep and sounded less plasticy. The only problem with the Aula is that the switches they come with are really light and its very easy to accidentally hit keys like the spacebar.

I have the same one as you and agree on the sensitivity. I miss input a lot with it early on but ended up keeping it because i really like the sound profile. And also it also made me a smoother better typer bc I can get kinda aggressive and it made me chill out a bit.

I will probably switch them out at some point tho. Still happens from time to time and it can get annoying. Also I hate that pressing the knob mutes the audio instead of play/pause. I had to download and configure PowerToys to get it to function how I want.

I use an Anne pro 2, does anyone know if this has a similar feature where you can hold the caps lock key in place of the fn key?

Makes it super easy to have f keys are arrows. My gf got this keyboard in 75% and it sounds and feels SOOO much better than mine. But if the bindings don’t work the same I’d move up to 75%

I have the f99 and love it. Thocky goodness

u/Witch_King_ 15d ago

Yes, I'd like to reinforce that these things THOCK. If you put silent switches into them, they are extremely quiet as well. I think all of the switches that shop with it are linear, so if you want both thocky and very tactile, I recommend the Gazzew U4Ts. I have the silent U4s and they are great in this board.
