I'm pretty new to the custom keyboard hobby, but had I known how much nicer a quality keyboard was to use, I would have gotten one a long time ago. These days, you can get a really nice keyboard for cheap. You don't have to go deep into custom land. Something like one of these will blow you mind how much nicer they are to type on. ;) [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPWX3WTL?ref\_=ppx\_hzsearch\_conn\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title\_3&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPWX3WTL?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1) [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBPXNY9Z?ref\_=ppx\_hzsearch\_conn\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title\_2](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBPXNY9Z?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2) [https://www.amazon.com/EPOMAKER-Mechanical-Swappable-Five-Layer-Bluetooth/dp/B0CW96HFFY](https://www.amazon.com/EPOMAKER-Mechanical-Swappable-Five-Layer-Bluetooth/dp/B0CW96HFFY) [https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-R65-Mechanical/dp/B0CNP4P4X3](https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-R65-Mechanical/dp/B0CNP4P4X3) Mice are a similar situation. A good Logitech mouse is a sweet thing to have! ;) \[Imgur\](https://i.imgur.com/pg7QzQ9.jpg)
Same anything but RK, Kreo, Cosmic Byte. Aula F75 Max just has a TFT screen which will increase your battery consumption when using wirelessly. You can try other brands as well Mchose G75 is a good replacement for Aula F75. But it's out of stock on all vendors. If your budget is higher then you can look for Aluminium builds as well. But don't go for RK, Kreo or Cosmic Byte. You can go through the sub if you have any doubts for them.
f75 max fixed the knob module, it's normal in that.
In your budget I think Aula F75 with reaper is best choice if possible extend the budget and go for AulaF75 Max.
If you don’t want the screen, just go for the base variant. To be honest, I feel it’s a bit overpriced right now. I had a second-hand Aula F75 that I bought from a friend, and at that price it was totally worth it. The Reaper switches were really good—just a bit loud, but that’s my personal preference. Unfortunately, it broke due to some circumstances. This time, because of budget constraints, I went with the AK820 Max Plus and did a few mods. Even after that, it still cost me less than the current Aula F75 prices. If you can afford it, then sure, go for it. But if you can wait and save a bit more, I’d suggest looking at the Rainy75—that could easily be your endgame keyboard. There’s also the Nut65, but from what I’ve seen, it’s mostly sold as a barebones kit, so you’ll need to spend extra on switches and keycaps. Also do one thing, copy it's amazon link in price tracker you will know if if it's current pricing is good or not.

Again, this is just my personal take—but I’m really enjoying it. I swapped about half of my switches to Akko Rosewood, used Retro J for the modifiers, and added dual-legend keycaps. The Rosewood switches have a really nice muted thock that I like a lot. Another big advantage is that I can comfortably use it in the office and at night without worrying about noise. The Reaper switches also sounded great—kind of a mix between creamy and thocky—but they were a bit loud at times. Sometimes I wonder how the Rosewood would have sounded on Aula if it hadn’t broken, but it is what it is. https://preview.redd.it/xkqmlh573yxg1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=223ec59a3baee24c048cb659e6fc6d68c24d4151
I got the F75 Max last weekend and I love it. First mechanical keyboard and it feels awesome and the sound is great. I was going to get Keychron (and may still eventually) but the YouTube impressions and $75 same day delivery from Amazon spoke to me too strongly last Saturday.
I used to be exclusively Logitech for mice abs keyboards (still am for mice - g502x is still rock- solid). But for keyboard, i recently got Aula F108 pro and F75 max. Feature for price is just very good. I want to try hero99 now, but i am running out of devices to put keyboards in (and excuses) to get more keyboards.
