Why Is the AULA F75 Pro Considered a Top Custom Keyboard?
I’ve been researching mechanical keyboards and came across the AULA F75 Pro. It looks impressive with its build quality and customization options, but I’m not sure if it’s really worth the hype. Has anyone here used it extensively? Does it live up to its reputation as a top custom keyboard? Should I consider getting one or look elsewhere?

I've heard the keycaps are quite durable. Did you swap out any switches or keycaps yet?

Yes, I replaced the stock switches with some tactile ones. The customization options are pretty extensive.

I own the F75 Pro and can confirm it's very solid. The RGB lighting is also customizable, which is a plus.

Emily, how's the software for customizing lighting? Is it user-friendly?
It's fairly straightforward once you get the hang of it. The software is quite intuitive.

Is the size comfortable? I prefer compact keyboards but want good functionality.

The F75 Pro is a 75% layout, so it's a good middle ground—more compact than full-size but still has dedicated keys.

James, do you find the layout limiting at all? I worry about accessibility to certain keys.
Not really, I got used to it quickly. The function layer covers most keys I need.
How's the typing feel? Is it satisfying, or do you think it could be better?
Interesting:
Tom, the switches I chose are very tactile and satisfying. The build feels premium.

Is the stock keycap set good, or should I plan to upgrade? I want something aesthetic.
Rachel, the stock keycaps are decent but not premium. Upgrading to PBT sets really enhances the look and feel.

What about sound? Does it sound loud or muted? I want a quieter experience.
Chris, switching to lubed switches and sound-dampening mats can reduce noise significantly.
Is the software for firmware updates reliable? I hate bricking my keyboard.
Kevin, I haven't had issues; the firmware updates are smooth and well-documented.

How is the overall durability? Will it last a long time with daily use?
Yes, the build quality feels very sturdy. I expect it to last years.
Are there any common issues or cons I should know about before buying?
Anna, some users mention the keycap legends fading over time, but it's not widespread.
Considering all this, do you think the F75 Pro is worth the premium price?
I've been using the F75 Pro for a few months now. The build quality is top-notch, and the hot-swappable switches make customization super easy.
Mike, do you think it's good for long typing sessions? I mainly type for work and want something comfortable.
