This keyboard is a dream to use, and my only true regret about it is that I didn't get one sooner. This keyboard looks, feels, and sounds unreal so I'll go over a few more of my favorite points in detail. * The greywood switches are fantastic. The action is smooth and the actuation force is incredibly low. Having already come from an AP2 with linear red switches I bottomed them out assuming they'd feel the same, but I'm loving them being an even easier press than that. They sound fantastic when you bottom out on this board as well, it's hard to really appreciate from sample videos. They are indeed very easy to hotswap too as I've already accidentally popped them out while pulling keycaps - they're very easy to remove and set, and I look forward to trying other switch types in the future. * The key lighting is bright and comes through well on the default switches. The vertical lightbar is a beautiful little addition with a few colorful presets and pops out in a great way. * The software is very light and capable. It's very familiar-looking coming from using stuff like Obinskit for the Anne Pro 2, but it's a little rougher around the edges as you do modifications to your lighting and bindings on a low-resolution mockup of the board. It's hard to see what has been set when doing so, but it gets things done. * The keycaps themselves are beautiful and feel solid but my only con is that they have no shine-through at all. In a dark room you'll be pressed to see your keys and having the board backlight on actually only makes that harder. For this, I transplanted my AP2 alphanumeric keys with shine-through letters onto the F99 and it works like a charm. I like the rest of the board so much and it can be rectified easily so I won't even knock a star for it, but be aware of this if you're used to your other boards having more visible letters. Not having that certainly came as a surprise to me. After all, I heartily recommend the F99 for making it feel exciting again to have a keyboard hobby again!

Aula has done a stellar job with the F99 Keyboard. I purchased two (other from Aula x Epomaker). Out of the box, typing on it is really good and the sound is amazing (Graywood switches). This keyboard sounds creamy and thocky almost sounds like creamy marbles. It is hard to find a compact keyboard (with 10-Key) at this price with these features. The 3 way connectivity provides options without being limited. Has lots of RGB settings if you’re into that. The keyboard feels heavy (good thing) and very premium even though it’s made of plastic. I like that the connectivity switch and usb dongle is located perfectly in the front of the keyboard compared to others that are on the backside (not ideal). This came with usb-c cord, extra switches and keycap/switch puller. I switched out the keycaps to some white MOA profile ones. Overall I am pleased with this keyboard. The only thing that it is missing would be a volume knob.

The media could not be loaded. I apologize as english is my second language but run, do not walk, to get this keyboard. I fear the video doesn’t do it justice, but the comfort and ease that comes with typing on this keyboard has decreased my typing fatigue tenfold. It not only feels incredible right out of the box, but the weight it has makes it feel like it’s worth much more than what it’s listed for. My old keyboard was a 100% type and felt it was too big. I do not care for the volume knob, but still wanted the number pad so this keyboard was the perfect size. The keycaps that were on it originally felt of very good quality and added to the very premium sound/feel of typing on the keyboard. I was able to change my keycaps to better fit the theme of my desk and it did not decreased sound and feel quality at all. If you plan to do the same be sure to invest in PBT keycaps to maintain the good sound. Conclusion: Overall feel and weight feels very good and premium. Appearance is sleek and versatile with ability to change the keycaps. The size is perfect for those that want a medium size keyboard. The only con I can think of is the lack of a volume knob, but again I do not care for those so it’s really only a con for those who do

I am a long time PC gamer who has been looking for a cost effective keyboard to switch to that has these new "thocky/creamy" sounding switches. Most of them you see advertised on social media platforms such as TikTok are hard to find reliable reviews on. THIS keyboard is absolutely outstanding. I'm switching from a Corsair K70 MX Speed (used for the last 4 years) and I haven't looked back. It's got a very solid build to it and is quite heavy so although it plastic it REALLY feels quality. The switch sounds are superb and effortless actuation points of the keys make gaming and typing feel so much more fluid. I also loved that it was available in full size with a Num Pad as I use that pretty regularly and don't care much for the 60-75% size keyboards. Overall it's definitely a worthy purchase, my only complaint is lacking a wrist rest but it doesn't take away from how good this thing is. Lighting & Software also very pleasing and user friendly.
