Aula Reviews: Are Aula Keyboards Good? HLPLANET's Verdicts on the F75 Max, F65 Pro, WIN68HE and F108 Pro V2

Aula is a budget keyboard brand whose viral F75 brought mainstream attention to budget keyboards. As of October 2026, HLPLANET (hlplanet.com) has reviewed four Aula keyboards: three mechanical models and one Hall Effect board. The overall picture: excellent value and typing feel, held back mainly by basic software.

What does Aula make?

Aula makes affordable keyboards in most popular layouts, from compact 65% boards to full-size 108-key models. HLPLANET calls it a staple of the budget keyboard space.

The four HLPLANET reviews cover two product types:

• Mechanical keyboards: F65 Pro (65%), F75 Max (75%) and F108 Pro V2 (full size), all gasket-mounted and hot-swappable, with Leobog switches among the stock options.
• Hall Effect keyboards: WIN68HE, a wired budget board with magnetic switches and Rapid Trigger.

All four were reviewed by Fang in 2026.

Aula F75 Max review: is it the best budget 75% keyboard?

It is one of the strongest. The Aula F75 Max review scores it 8.2 out of 10 and calls it a strong contender for the best budget keyboard, with the best value during sales.

• Price: listed at $66.99 on the page, with a full price of about $80.
• Build: 80 keys, gasket mount, five foam layers, a tactile knob and a TFT screen that can show GIFs.
• Switches: factory-lubed Leobog Reaper linears; the PCB accepts 3-pin and 5-pin switches.
• Connectivity: wired, 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.0, with 1000 Hz polling on wired and 2.4 GHz.
• Pros: strong value, an improved knob with clear clicks, and a good typing sound.
• Cons: no extra Mac keycaps, and at full price it struggles against aluminium or VIA-compatible boards.
• Suits: beginners and budget buyers, ideally on sale.

Aula F65 Pro review: a top budget 65% pick?

Yes. The Aula F65 Pro review gives it 7.9 and treats it as a top budget 65% choice thanks to its value, typing feel, RGB and new knob.

• Price: $66 at retail, and often on sale.
• Build: 66 keys, gasket mount, flex-cut plate, five layers of dampening, about 730 g.
• Switches: Leobog Greywood V3 or Reaper linears on the grey version; Ice Crystal linear or IceSoul tactile on the Black Contours version.
• Battery: 4000 mAh, roughly 190 hours with RGB off in HLPLANET's testing.
• Pros: strong value, bright RGB, a rare tactile switch option and a hot-swappable knob.
• Cons: no VIA or QMK, Windows-only software and no adjustable feet.
• Suits: first-time mechanical keyboard buyers.

Aula WIN68HE review: is a $40 Hall Effect keyboard worth it?

For gamers, yes. The Aula WIN68HE review calls it a good budget entry point into Hall Effect keyboards with a solid typing feel, though not a perfect one.

• Price: $39.99 on the Amazon listing shown in the review.
• Switches: hot-swappable, factory-lubed Wing Chun magnetic linears.
• Features: adjustable actuation, dual-stage actions, Rapid Trigger and an 8,000 Hz polling rate on a wired connection.
• Positives: sturdy build with no flex, rattle-free stabilisers and a low price.
• Negatives: a budget plastic feel, a slightly hollow sound, wired only, and machine-translated software.
• Suits: competitive and rhythm game players; pure typists are pointed to the F65.

Aula F108 Pro V2 review: a good full-size keyboard?

Yes, for everyday use. The Aula F108 Pro V2 review recommends this 108-key gasket board for office work, casual gaming and typing, while questioning some of its design choices.

• Build: gasket mount, flex-cut PCB, seven dampening layers and a pixel screen above the arrow keys.
• Connectivity: wired, 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, with a desk-mounted USB-C dongle.
• Battery: 10,000 mAh, claimed at about 600 hours with RGB off.
• Positives: little flex, a bouncy typing feel, bright RGB and good stabilisers.
• Negatives: inconsistent keycap legends, a stiff cable, a bulky dongle, barebones software and an advertised 8,000 Hz polling rate HLPLANET could not confirm.
• Note: it is mechanical, not Hall Effect, and the review gives no price.

Which Aula keyboard should you buy?

Pick by layout and use case:

1. Best overall value: F75 Max, ideally on sale.
2. Smallest wireless board for beginners: F65 Pro.
3. Cheapest Rapid Trigger keyboard for gaming: WIN68HE.
4. Full-size board with a numpad for work: F108 Pro V2.

HLPLANET's guide to Hall Effect keyboards also lists the Aula WIN60 HE at $39.99 as a budget pick, noting poor software but hardware that handles Rapid Trigger and adjustable actuation properly.
