M75

I am just gonna paste the document I made when I was researching keyboards. It's probably useless to you but it's nice to know what's available. I would also suggest to not go with cheaper (<2500) Keyboards as their QC is mid at best and can be a bit or miss. -Full sizes- TVS gold bharat - Classic, Durable, Highly dust resistant, No backlight, no aesthetics, purely for office work, no n key rollover. No hotswap Acer Nitro G( And similar) - Chinese OEM keyboards rebranded , most aren't hot swap, Acer one is gasket mounted tho. Cheap (~₹2000), Yes levels of RGB to the point it can be used like a light source. AULA S series - Eg S2022, lower end offering from aula, good considering the budget but no customization. Also the wire is wonkydoodle clay like , I tried it for 3 days and then stopped. Portronics has a similar keyboard at similar cost but stay away from portronics keyboards. AULA FXXXX series -F2058 ,F3287 , better build quality than the S series but not as good as the F75. Comes around ₹2000 RK /MCHOSE/KEYCHRON - The full sizes variants are so good but so expensive (I only have tried the RKS98) -Not Full sizes - This is sweet spot for me, no one uses that Numpad unless you're an accountant or something EvoFox - There's the Ronin which is considered best budget keeb under 3k. There's the cheaper katana too . QC issues are there but warranty system is good. There are mini series but no volume knob . There's also the new X75 but idk how it is. AULA F75 - Really good keyboard, loved by many. 75% keyboard with a lot of switches options solid long term investment ngl. AULA M75 - It's basically the a keyboard which tries to be F75 but doesn't have enough stat points to upgrade it's build quality. Tri mode connection has problems. AJAZZ AK820- The most balanced keyboard- value for money. 8000 mah battery is lovely. RK 75/88/100- The benchmark of a good keyboard. Reliable. Warranty is good ( although most people don't require it.) --Other options-- Barebones - Can be good value if you get the switches and keycap used. And in the end it'll be YOUR keyboard. Although you could do this with any hotswappable keyboard lol. Hand wired - DIY get some 16 gauge copper cables, switches and a microcontroller and other smaller wires. JK don't build a keyboard if you are new . 60%s - Super compact , i love them . But there's a learning curve . Avoid if you absolutely need Arrow keys and the volume knob HE keyboards - Magnetic , Purely made for shaving off the latencies which are useful in eSports (Banned in pro eSports). Most aren't fun to type on but you don't buy HE keyboards to type .

Get alla m75 it's like 3k or less and it's mechanical

I bought an aula m75 in republic day sale from flipkart and i would say it was worth it. Well, i also got it for 1350 but i still think its switches and quality and features are better than my previously owned redragon k617 fizz wired which was bought for 2600.

Just bought the RK C68 (magnetic 60€) and it feels smoother than my other keebs while gaming. [RK C68](https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B0FPM6NCJ1/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A7207XU86IMSS&psc=1) But Aula75 is very good for it‘s price! Only my Rainy75 beats it, but at the cost of 160€.

Sorry, my Aula75 runs perfectly.

The Epomaker G84 is built pretty well and feels nice to type on, but it can cost a bit. The AULA S75 Pro has some nice features for the price, plus RGB lighting which is cool for gaming. The AU75 is a budget pick, but you might lose out on some build quality... Have you checked out keyboardyeti? they have a comparison chart that could help you figure it all out.

So my Logitech K120 (wired) and K270r (wireless) are now retired - but I did find it amazing that the Ajazz is quieter because there's no rattle in the keys... and that's a huge bonus for the spacebar. Our Mechs have 'cherry profile' caps, that means it's not flat, like Logitech... and it really is much easier to type - and must easier to type faster without typos. As for mech vs membrane switches - it's no big deal, but the feeling of the keys is very different. Messing about on a typing website, I can average 80wpm (sometimes hitting 100wpm depending on if there are any awkward words) - but on the Logitech's, all that clatter and I couldn't manage much over 60 to 70wpm. There are wired variants of the AK820, but they feel much cheaper - maybe if you fancy getting into modding... though after switching to my phone and tablet I am hooked, and the feeling really is 'Premium' in a way you'd understand if you weren't too lazy to go try out a few keyboards in a shop somewhere. Yesterday we went down to Starbucks whilst some folks were in fixing the aircon at home - and I was in the forum on my ipad using my keyboard... but coming back home, the cable's waiting and I can have it wired or wireless. So for absolute bargain basement: 1. Hot swappable is the bare minimum. If you make a mistake, you need to change it. My mistake was thinking it sounded quiet in the shop, and underestimating how much louder it would sound at home. 2. Ignore wireless/RGB - unless they affect the price. My RGB is always off, but still works for indicators (i.e. showing connection mode, battery level etc) but I do like the 'program' mode, so if I type in the dark I have one light on my F and J, also on my 1 and 0 for easy typing in the dark if I type on my tablet in bed... 3. Below a certain level, the cutbacks start to sting. Does the noise bother you? Everyone talks as if it's normal to like 'clack' and 'thock' - but it annoys me. I can type in bed on my phone without waking anyone, because I have silent switches... Silent tactiles gives the same 'bump' I had with Logitech's rubber keyboard, but quieter because the keys don't rattle. They feel nicer, type much faster without making typos... Oh, the Ajazz (bargain, but needed silent switches adding) cost $45 with switches... and the AU75 came in around the same, my son doesn't mind the clack and the keycaps were actually nicer than mine... Yup, I spent more in the end - bought new PBT caps (once tasted, you can't stand the cheaper ones any more) for what - those cost ฿384 (about $11) and my silent switches cost about the same... so the Ajazz started $45 and the AU75 came in at $55. I wouldn't spend less - or more. But also, after being skeptical for years, I would never want to go back. Given the price of a K270 wireless, this is a 50% price hike and a 100% quality upgrade. For wireless - a clacky K120 makes for a bigger price hike, but for something you'll genuinely not regret.

My thoughts? I'd hate it - cutting out so many keys to save a bit of space is (for me) ridiculous. I like the AU75, it's newer and better than the F75 and my son got one, it comes with really nice keycaps too... but really - it's up to you to know what size he prefers.

I have an Aula Au75 (similar to this with slight differences) and a Leobog Hi8SE, as well as Ajazz AK820 and some others. The Leobog is the best of them and has an all aluminum case, but honestly, the Aula is a very close second.
