AULA Mechanical Keyboard, 87 Keys Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, RGB Backlit Keyboard with Brown Switches for Windows Laptop PC Mac

This keyboard uses my preferred brown switches which have just enough feedback without being too clicky. The RGB colors are fixed in groups, you can change the animations. I prefer all one color, but otherwise this is the next best option, grouping the colors by numbers, functions, arrows, letters, rather than multiple columns of colors. It might be nice to have the special functions printed onto the keys, but after referring to the manual it’s pretty straight forward.

Easy to assemble and durable

edit- I found the manual and realized it wasnt broken, i just had the light settings wrong. fn + esc to get back to default

Im highly surprised with how enjoyable it is to type on this keyboard. The feedback from the keys is quite nice, none of the keys have an issue when pressed on the edges, and the clicky-ness is just right for my liking. Pros: -Backlit keys are perfect for in the dark gaming. Common gaming keys (WASD, for example) are pre-highlighted with different colored backlight. -The brown switches provide good feedback with a trigger at 2mm without being overly loud. -Stays put. For being a plastic keyboard housing, this has a good weight to it. -Two adjustable leg heights for tilt. -Standard key sizes and locations for a TKL layout. -RGB light strip down the left and right sides. -Detachable USB-C to USB-A cable. -Includes key cap remover. -21 replacement key caps in orange. -Remembers backlight settings even after losing power. Negatives: -ABS keycaps will show signs of wear and tend to turn shiny. -While the backlit is nice, and has some cool options, its not per-key addressable. At least it doesnt have a weird arbitrary rainbow division to the keys like other entry-level RGB keyboards! -There are a few places where the screws used to hold the keyboard together are recessed about 1/8, making cleaning more difficult even with the caps removed. -The text in the instructions is small, and youll need them to know how to adjust the backlight. Overall, for just $20.00, at time of review, this is one heck of a nice entry-level mechanical keyboard even with the negatives listed above. Youd be hard pressed to find anything else at this price point that is this nice.

All the keys are very comfortable to type. They are responsive. Backlit is beautiful!

The light design is very nice and I like how the power cord for it is USB C.

Ive become somewhat of a collector of lower-priced mechanical keyboards, and this one caught my eye. I saw that this one came with Cherry MX Brown switches, and some extra keycaps, which I always appreciate, because I love customizability. PROS The keys give great feedback, thanks to the Cherry MX Brown switches. Im not sure if the switches are hot-swappable or not. The RGB backlighting comes with a lot of different options and patterns. Im a sucker for cool looking RGb effects, so this scratches that itch. The compact design is perfect for my somewhat limited workspace, especially when I have textbooks all over my desk. CONS The overall build isnt as heavy or as substantial as other mechanical keyboards I use. The brightness seems a bit lacking. Even in a dark room, the keys and backlight dont seem as bright as other keyboards. Overall, its a great keyboard for the money. For anyone on a budget who doesnt want a full size keyboard, this would definitely be a recommendation from me. Im happy with it, and I would probably buy this again.

I was looking for a good starter budget mechanical tenkeyless keyboard in either 75% or 65% small form factor. it has brown switches although given that the brand isnt listed, I presume they are either gateron or outemu switches or some version thereof. brown switches are tactile switches which are not as clicky as blue switches but still more tactile than the linear red style switches. For the price, it isnt bad and has decent heft, however the switches could use some lube and they do sound more pingy than thocky. it does have a nice rgb feature as well as well as rgb strips on the side which are actually visible when using the keyboard. Ive been using this for both gaming and for office work. Overall, I think it is fine for the price although it could be improved with some mods like lubing the switches. it does come in a very nice box too that means that this keyboard could be used as a good gift.

The keyboard arrived in flawless shape. It also has a great appearance. It has a solid well-make feel and the keys click in a gratifying manner. Each RGB light is brilliant and operates flawlessly. I also really like the fact that you can customize your own keys. Overall quite pleased with my purchase.

This is a very good keyboard! I love the look, design and the way it lights up. I got the black one and it looks great on the desk and looks premium. It was extremely easy to set up and love that it uses a USB C wire. I also enjoy using it. It feels premium as well and comfortable to type on. The keys are smooth and make a good typing sound. I also like how it has the arrow keys well spaced on it making it easy to use while gaming.
