bro got bullied into making this video

For non enthusiast beginner I felt stock Aula F75 sounds better than RK M75.

That community post is (I think) now the highest liked post on that tab. The community really knows that they want I guess 😂

he really compared a 70$ keyboard with a 120$ one with coupon and said the 120$ one is better. Weird that for 50$ more you get a better product.

Honestly, this keyboard has been a game changer for me. As someone who has to switch between and Mac keyboard and Windows device frequently for work, the instant mac mode and windows mode switching capability has been a really nice quality of life upgrade. I also love how I can basically plug the 2.4g into my mac, and when it's gaming time I just need to flip a switch to wired which doubles as charging. It also sounds and feels even better than my KBDfans board which was 200$+ - definitely not regretting my purchase here!

Its weird because in the time since this keyboard came out theres been several other boards that i think are just as good that have come out in this price range but this was kind of the first game changer for me. I still use mine every day even if i sort of wish id ordered a different color lol

Finally, the only affordable custom keyboard here in Brazil, and my current keyboard

Aula F75 + Graywood Switches = heaven for my fingers

I do think one key detail that's sadly missed out is that often this keyboard either goes on sale or is just sold cheap really easily (I can get one rn for around $43). It really changes the financial dynamic of the aula alot. For example on that same market the RK M75 is $63 and rainy75 is $94. The difference in those prices is big enough that alot of people on poorer countries are gonna make that "sacrifice" and still be happy with it.

The Aula sounds much nicer then the Kludge!! 😮

I just ordered this one as my very first mechanical keyboard, because I just needed somewhere to start. Was planning on possibly modifying it though, so it's a little annoying to learn that it's not as easy as with other boards. But I really appreciate all the information in this video, it will help me a ton moving forward! Thanks!

I agree that the RK M75 (and the Yunzii B75) feel slightly better than the Aula F75. However, they also cost more. There is a market for people who want to use a keyboard stock without investing more money to swap out keycaps, foam, switches, etc. This is where the Aula F75 shines - just plug it in and type. I also have both the Reaper and TTC Crescent switch versions. For $69 and no significant modding required these are really hard to beat.

good job on flipping those feet, hipyo! feet havent been flipped as well as you did! 👍 since it had a shinethrough keycap option, you should have already expected it to be northfacing LEDs. but like you said, northfacing isnt such a big problem nowadays.

if youre here for the answer, its at 11:50 and he says "yes. its a fine keyboard, it sounds really nice, and it feels pretty decent" "if you bought it then you should be happy"

as a keyboard enthusiast, I love how AULA F75 sounds, feel and works. One of my best keyboards. hugs from 🇧🇷

I have been WAITING for you to finally try out this keyboard

So the reason that I chose the f75 over other budget options is because I'm new to the hobby and wanted to start at a solid affordable baseline. Because the board was so affordable, I was able to experiment with different switches and caps. Now when I do choose to upgrade, I'll have more knowledge of the hobby and a really solid board in the meantime.

But... based on your sound test the AULA F75 sounds considerably better than the Royal Kludge M75. I had looked at reviews for that keyboard a while back and eventually the fact that it did not have an aluminum case and that I didn't like the sound profile were deal breakers for me. FYI have not purchased an AULA F75, I actually purchased the Rainy 75 recently. And I'm super happy with the Rainy 75, it has all the features I wanted even though I could have gotten 2 AULA F75 keyboards for the same price if I purchased everything on Amazon. But I still feel it was money well spent, because I'm not collecting keyboards like you, Hipyo. Er, I mean, I'm not collecting quite as many keyboards as you are, Hipyo.

Think it's true that the F75 is probably the best out-of-the-box experience you can get for roughly $60, but there are other superior aluminum 75% options (​Leobog Hi75 barebones, Monsgeek M1 V3 barebones, and Womier SK71/Yunzii AL71 prebuilts) for an extra $15-30 that are essentially a tier up in quality. It's not a bad board, but the market is super competitive right now.

Thank you for the review. I bought the Aula F75, and I really like it. It has great sound right out of the box, and there's no need to make any modifications.

In ur sound test the aula sounds soooo much nicer

Just got mine that I bought on Prime Day for £64 with the Ice Vein switches, and it is MILES better than my Keychron V1 I had been using - the stabs on it were just awful whereas the Aula F75 is genuinely amazing for the price. Highly recommend this keyboard!

If I get an obscure deal I want reviews with clout to highlight it, I don't necessarily need validation I'm trying to spread the word when I have little to no voice

I had Zero idea that keyboard professionals existed. Like taking apart keyboards, modding them, etc. Ive never really heard of that. But I really like the Aula F75 and I think it sounds better than the one you compared it to. I really dont mind that its difficult to get open, Im not a keybaord enthusiast and this keyboard marks off everything on my list. Im getting the "Emerald" color which has light blue, beige, and green key caps. Also Im pairing it with the Darmoshark M3 mouse which Im not sure was a good decision or not but it matches the keyboard and had a good design which is honestly all I care about.

I have both the Aula 75 (Ice Vein) and the Royal Kludge, definitely prefer the Aula for both typing and gaming. The fact it's $20-40 cheaper is icing on the cake.

I've been using the AULA F75 for a couple of months now and sure, the software isn't great, it's made out of plastic, and it's barely modifiable. However, depending on where you live, something similar like the Keychron V1 Max costs around $180 or the Keychron Q1 Max $480. So considering I paid $55, it's a steal for what it delivers.

Ive got the Royal Kludge M75 and I have to agree that it is an absolutely SLEEPER keyboard. Its fantastic and I see nowhere enough praise for it.

The M75 and f75 sound is not even close. Edit: my opinion.

Why is everyone obsessed with hating north facing LEDs? They are simply the better option if you are like me and prefer shine through keycaps.

Aula sounds noticeably better lol

15 years ago I paid $200 to import a basic cherry brown keyboard. Today I'm typing on the Nuphy Air75v2 with buttery smooth low profile hot swappable switches, 220 hours of battery life, bluetooth+2.4ghz (yes I am using this on my Steamdeck and desktop PC simultaneously), and it only cost $120.

I have this keyboard with the Leobog Ice Vein switches it's very good, glad to see you're reviewing it! (Typed on the Aula F75 lol)

I think you hit the nail on the head with the people already own it! This board was actually released almost a year ago, maybe more than a year ago. I did a written review in March when Epomaker did their branded version of it and for the price it's one of the best if not the best plastic keyboard I have used. However since then we have had a number of fully AL keyboards for almost the same price or only slightly more. The number of TikToc videos on this board is insane in recent months though and the Aula branded version is often on sale on Amazon as well which I think is driving sales. But at least price to performance this is a good board unlike the number of people buying those $200 Highground boards that aren't any better IMHO than some on amazon for $40.

please review the ajazz ak820 pro at some point 🙏🙏 i’ve heard so many good things about it and getting your opinion would be awesome

Just bought these a few days ago, and I love it. I don't like the software, but the keyboard itself is good.

4:22 POV: 6yr old kid in school when he gets something that looks cool💀

This is completely subjective but the Aula F75 sounds way better then what you pulled out (THOCKY AF) and is pretty much a big reason why most people bought this, including myself xD, plus the price for what you get is super worth it! Great review btw!

i hope it’s good, i’ve been seeing it everywhere

I've had the Rk M75 since january and am super happy with it. The only gripe I have is the keycaps don't mesh well with the not so bright RGB and in a dark room you can't see the keys very clearly, so I upgraded the kaycaps to shine-through ones and it's made it a lot better. I have the silver switches. I also got it 15% off on Amazon, so roughly £85 for me in the UK.

My one just arrived a few hours ago kinda perfect timing with ur upload thanks for the review!

"I was skeptical at first" You were definitely told to say that by shopify lmaooo

I already own this as well and at the time it came out I would say damn amazing for the sound! I'd say since it was my first Keyboard its what got me started to the hobby. I get it as well and agree that now there would be better choices for the price for sure, after the wave of all these Aluminum budget keyboards there is just so much to choose from. but i would say it was an amazing starting point (when it was released). And now they have the M75!! just got one! and boi oh boi i love it. its like they made their F75 aluminum. i don't think its heavily marketed yet but hopeful to see you review it. appreciate all your videos!

Lets gooooooo finally man THx bro keep it up ❤❤❤

The aula f75 is a perfect beginners keyboard to get into customs. I loved it and had it over a couple months

Ik this is twchnically budget, but $70 feels like a lot of money to not even get a num pad

Is there a difference between a EPOMAKER x AULA and a normal AULA branded keyboard of the same model name/number? Would also like to see a review of the AULA F87, F99, and F98 Pro.

can you do a video where you compare all of the budget keyboards like you’ve done so far and show what are the best for different preferences

i just know that the ice vein switches are the better option between the 3

Some people have skeletons in their closet. Hippy got 200 keyboards.

Good job on flipping those feet, Hipyo!

Hey @Hipyo Tech Can you try the epomaker Ajazz AK 820 Pro.

i got this for 30 usd straight from china and its my favourite budget keyboard i have, i still prefer my drop alt though

Honestly, I got this keyboard about a month ago. I swapped from a regular (yet expensive) gaming keyboard. About twice the price. For someone that wants a prebuilt keyboard I believe they nailed it here with the sound and feeling of the keyboard. The only flaws I would say are the fact that I had to swap the keyboard into Windows mode ( it came in Mac mode ) by pressing FN + W and hold for 3 seconds. And the LED indicator for the battery charging showing up even though I stopped it (FN+SHIFT). And I have to do it a couple more times throughout the day. But besides that I think this keyboard is extremely good for a consumer who just wants something that's plug and play. ( and I'm not considering the price, which is also insanely good ! ) For people who mod their keyboards.... I see the reasons why not to get it. Even though I've seen people who mod and they said this was the endgame without modding the keyboard themselves.

BEGGING FOR IT WORKED🗣🗣🗣

try phantom tecware 87+ its 50usd on discount(55 regular)

People that bought this keyboard and love it wanted you to review it so the word gets out and helps other people who are looking to buy a keyboard. I agree with you on the RK M75. I have it, and it is awesome. I love the silver switches on it.

Wow!! That sounds AMAZEBALLS

for over 5 years of planning of buying my first ever keyboard, I'm really happy, also bought it almost 30% less 7.7 Sale

Thanks for making this video hipyo

This is the first mechanical 'custom' 'enthusiast' keyboard I've bought (the parts of my first "build" kb is still shipping). I love how it sounds (stock) so I'm a little scared of what Hipyo's verdict is going to be, if I made a bad choice or not!

Good job on flipping those feet hippio

I have tried and own different keyboards and Aula 75 is a sweet spot, not too expensive and not too cheap but the quality it delivers is pretty decent, also sound good. The only thing I hate about it is no Via Support. :) Well I got mine for around $ 43 USD before and it was a blind buy as there were literally almost no reviews on it yet. Didn't disappoint.

This keyboard is annoying popular here in Brazil, i'm not much into white/colorful keyboards, but I was considering to buy one of those... Now I now that I don`t need to, thanks hipyo

I'm typing on the epomaker Ajazz AK820 Pro right now at Panera, despite the fact they no longer sell the energy drink that will kill you (I'll have to kill myself from their gluten orange scones instead). It's my go-to 'toss in a backpack' portable Mechanical keyboard. The little screen allows you to upload pictures or even animated gifs, although it takes a while to get use to the software to do so (dimensions of gifs have to be under 250 px). I have the clear Akko V3 Crystal Pro switches and some Milky Frosted Fog Transparent Keycaps as the RGB on this keyboard is pretty impressive. It's a fun keyboard although I have a Keychron with some silent Redragon Stars A120 Silent Tactile switches for my "serious, adult" work keyboard.

Used to own a RK M75 and I vouch for it 100%. I moved on to the Nuphy Halo 75 v2, and I love that keyboard as well. But the magical thing about the M75 is that it feels so unbelievably exquisite to type on, perhaps even better than the 75 v2. It's crazy for me to think that, especially considering I moved on from it, but typing on the M75 was so pleasant that it set a high standard for me. The downside to the M75 is that it's not easy to mod (although it can be done), the case is a soft kind of plastic that damages easily if you bang it against anything or drop it, and the screen isn't very engaging. As a keyboard, it's a functional treat, but it's not exactly an exciting one. I prefer a board that's more creatively stimulating while also being a treat to type on, and Nuphy made that possible for me, so I'm happy with what I have now. I did give my M75 to someone who needed a new board and they absolutely love it. At the end of the day, loving your keyboard is simply a matter of taste.

You should review the Aula F75.

I just got the rainy 75 and super happy with it thx for your review!

I think these days the most important factor to most people when buying a keyboard is their money.

Hi, Hipyo! Good video! I currently have the Xinmeng M71 (same as the Womier S-K71/Yunzii AL71) and am thinking about buying the Rainy75/Bridge75 instead. Are there big differences between M71 and Rainy75? Is the M71 much worse?

"I got this for free, but am not sponsored" xD. But you are always honest. So that is nice!

I bought it and I love it so much, literally such a good price for what you get out of the box, if you're reading this and are on the fence... BUY IT

ppl need to stfu about the north facing rgb for real :) Im gonna go out and just say it, north facing is better. Why? South facing tends to shine RIGHT in between some keys on the lower row, meaning it shines RIGHT into your eyeball and is super distracting. You just dont get that with north facing. As he said, the caps are not an issue anymore so I dont see any reason why south facing would be better.

I am using this one with ice vein switch it sounds great and feels great. I don't need to open the board why it sounds so good . ND75 has also flex cut pcb but you didn't mention about thiner sound . It is not necessary for a keyboard to have a aluminium frame as long as you are not opening the borad frequently for experiments.

"Good job on flipping those feet Hipyo!"

i love the sound of F75 though than RK M75

please try the Aula F75 next

Ugh so much tacky opinion for this keyboard... It's actually really great keyboard

THE WAY HE TYPED WITH THIS FOOT- timeline: 2:53

A key important unique attribute for this board is touted low latency 1000hz polling which also brings with it the possibility of stable latency too.

This is the keyboard that i have right now but im going to swap out the switches with the gatoron yellows

I'm fine with the cons you listed, not having screws and the flex cut aren't a huge deal for me. $70 and $60 on sale proves to be one of the best products I have ever bought.

Have you tried the XVX K75?

try the ajazz ak820 next

Well you comparted RK M75 which is one step more pricy then aula. RK R75 is the competition to F75, which is basically a copycat of it. I like Aula on ice veins for my 50$

Thank you for making this video, Hipyo! Appreciate it! I was on a tight ass budget - and - HATED my old Logiteck G512... I knew you would notice all the keyboards flaws - thankfully for me - I wanted one to use out the box!

The thing about the F75 is that it is a lot more expensive in the west, I live in a country where I can easily get access to TaoBao stuff and I can purchase the board directly from Aula, the F75 costed me around $31.5 and for that price this keyboard is insane

Thank you so much for this video Hipyo! First, the way you flip those feet... wow, a real master! Second, I'm new to keyboards and I think for my first keyboard this fits the mold... I wanted thocky and OMG that sound is amazing! Now, the key caps I'm not too excited about - what keycaps would you suggest to look into?

Try the ajazz AK820 Pro

I got the Aula F75 for half the price you mentioned in the video!!! $35 USD!!! Same exact board in the video btw.

whens the AK820 pro review coming, do you need a unit

The Aula F75 sounds better compared to the M75 (imo), with their stock switches. I agree the north-facing rgb is a bummer but so far I have tried quite a few switches on it and haven’t been facing any issues with it. I also agree that opening the case is a challenge for those who intend to mod it, it’s something that many people tend to overlook, but it’s not any easier for the RK M75 (I’ve done it once and never wanna do it again). Personally I would rather go with the Aula F75 over the M75 and save 20 or 30 bucks.

watching this video as i bought it yesterday and i’m waiting for it to come tomorrow. i got the ice vein switches verdict: fkn amazing

**I can finally rest… after 4 months…**

The more i watch these custom keyboard videos the more satisfied i get with my overprized K70 MAX ;)

i've own the royal kludge r75 in the past but it bricked like in 2 weeks, so i had to find another keyboard, that's when i got the epomaker th80pro but it got bricked too... it lasted almost a year but again, i had to get another keyboard, which is the aula 75 and i couldn't be more happy, it looks good, sound good and IMO, it feels as good as royal kludge r75. that one had better rgb tho but im pretty satisfied with this aula 75. and at least it hasn't bricked yet lol

What board would you recommend for someone who likes to game but still wants a thocky sound?

I love 75% keyboards

Vote on Rtings to review this board! You can get an important measurement not shown anywhere else, wireless latency and it's stability. Can get wired latency too. Multikey latency press as well as release latencies seperate. There's quite a lot of keyboards that skimp out on doing well or even adequately for these attributes.

so many have commented on the ajazz ak820 pro and some on the newer max version. is there a video on this? im new to the keyboard scene
