AULA - F108 Pro Tri-mode LCD Display Mechanical Keyboard

I got it from https://uk.whatgeek.com/products/aula-f108-pro-tri-mode-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=50474476536122 The download at the bottom has the driver which also is it's configuration software, the settings bit on the board itself is in Chinese at first but you stumble upon the English, it's a little bit of a faff but the included paper should be translatable, I'll try and help the best I can.

I'd go with the Aula F99 or F108, better value options

Spyware is a stretch and it sounds & feels better

I just got one, currently typing this on it and it feels and sounds lush. Bare in mind I'm coming from a Logitech keyboard with blue switches so this is a whole new world to me, but considering the price and the fact it's hot swappable I'd say it's well worth it. Incredibly heavy as well which is nice, though as others have said don't expect much from the screen.

I tried Aula F108 and Epomaker HE 75. The build quality is really good and good value. Nothing to complain for a 80 USD keyboard. However, I found Aula’s LCD on the keyboard shows Chinese at the first place. I needed to play it around and finally found a way to switch it to English. As for the HE75, I returned it. I love HE keyboard but I don’t want to download software anymore. Prefer web based solution now. I would say those China brands offer great value keyboards. But I don’t know how long those boards will last. My Aula performs pretty well. Just the manual is also full of Chinese and I need to find my way out by using Google translate

Aula f108/f108 pro There's probably other options but this is the only one I've used in this price range and it is quite good. Avoid buying from epomaker. Buy from somewhere else.

you'll be pleased to know that bluetooth doesn't even work on my keyboard! I wonder if there's a firmware update or idk what happened to it... I can't handle bluetooth latency either, but I might wanna use it on my tablet. but I can'tttt. (I got a different device than the one I tested at the shop, same model but different physical object, the one I tested didn't show up in bluetooth either)

I picked it up and I'm typing on it right now, It's smooth, I like the lighting effects, but I'm having trouble getting the software to do anything. I downloaded it off of the WhatGeek link on this post, but it doesn't seem to be able to detect the keyboard in either BT or USB 2.4 modes. Otherwise it's a nice keyboard, no major complaints here.

I just got this keyboard today. Has anyone found a website to download the manual? Where do I get the program to configure it? How do you set the date and time? I've searched the internet for 2 hours and this site is all I've found.

First thing I stumbled on was English. That was fun. Lol Does the software let you fix the time and date? Thanks for your help!

Yes I had to install the software. As soon as I plugged it into the USB port it updated the time. I immediately un-installed the software because I don't trust it and I don't need to use it for anything. Better to get it off my computer than have all my info going to China

So all of a sudden, I can't connect to the Aula software anymore. The day I installed the "driver" I was able to connect and sync the clock. Since then, I haven't used it. Today I was going to try and remap a key and it won't connect. I tried USB and wireless dongle. Neither way connects. When I launch the software it says something along the lines of looking for keyboard or something like that and tells you if you are connected wirelessly to press a key to exit sleep. I tried that. I then unpluged and plugged in the USB cable and it makes the USB connection sound and pops up for 1 sec then plays the USB disconnect sound and goes right back to trying to connect. I tried every USB posrt on the front and back of my pc and they all do the same thing. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

Yes. I figured it out. I was trying to connect with a USB cable but the setting on the keyboard was for 2.4ghz. Once I changed it to wired it worked. It wouldn't connect with the wireless dongle.

I get about a week on a full charge but I haven't let it run down below 25%. Using it every day for probably 2-3 hours each day uses in my estimation, 60-75%. I have one of the lighting effects on at 60% brightness as well. I'm pretty sure mine sleeps after 5 minutes and it's connected via 2.4gz.

Go on aliexpress and get an aula f108 it has hot swappable switches both 3 and 5 pin can be used. Its a steal for the price. Full n-key rollover, led, wired and wireless via wifi or bluetooth.

It's going great for me! I might not be able to be too technical in describing it as it's my first mech keeb and I can only compare it to my membrane keeb. Below are my thoughts so far. No delay or problem with gaming and typing. It's on the creamy thocky sound compared to my husband's Mechlands Vibe99. Sturdy and heavy despite being plastic. Not that I have experienced holding keebs with aluminum casing. It stays in its place and doesn't slide off when I play or type so I guess it's enough. I haven't really maximized the knob usage, but maybe it's just because I'm not really used to it. It'd be nice though if the GIF becomes a screensaver. Coz for example, if it is on the volume function, the screen stays like that even if you don't adjust the volume for a while. Space-wise, I would have chosen Mechlands Vibe99 coz despite having a numpad it saves space and works the same. RGB colors are tamed because of the switches. It's not a deal breaker for me but could be for some which could be resolved by replacing with other switches. I hope this helps. I can't think much of the cons except for its size coz it's my first ever mech keeb. https://preview.redd.it/dor8rts291cf1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=5006ea1235716a817d2cb648f2715b849482db7d
