AULA F75 Mechanical Keyboard Keyboard

[@the_beefy1986]

What a reasonable price. I've been out of the scene for quite a while, but back when I was in, things were getting out of control. r/mk was practically a one-up contest on who could spend the most on the least functional keyboards.

Pretty sure there is still no upper limit. 😁 From my experience there is a point where spending more doesn't make any appreciable difference.

I snatched one from Amazon for $50 after lighting limited deal of $20 off coupon I clipped... Amazing keyboard... I own about 7 keyboards now of different modifications, brands, etc. but this one really takes the cake

What makes it stand out for you?

[@abunk8691]

I think it looks nice, sounds nice, and price is reasonble in my area at around $65 USD or so but I don't think its for me due to the lack of 4 things, a Context Menu key, Right Alt Key, Home Key, Print Screen key. All of those are essential for what I do (mainly coding and documents) and working with text in general. The 75% layout looks nice to me but I still haven't found a keyboard with the exact set of keys I need and it seems TKL is the smallest layout I would still go for now to have all the keys I need. Keys like Right Windows key, Insert key, Scroll Lock key, Pause/Break key I could easily discard as I don't really need those.

Agree with you on the Print Screen key as well. 👍

[@abunk8691]

@@LaptopRetrospective Haha glad you agree. I find the Print Screen key is now way more useful since it can crop parts of the screen or specific windows compared to in the past where it's just the whole screen. I find myself using it to take screenshots of my work to keep track of progress. Its quite funny I have a keyboard that almost ticks all my requirements (Context Menu, Right Alt, Print Screen) but lacks the 2 things, the Home and End keys. It was almost perfect but its not quite there yet. Similar case with my ThinkPad USB Compact Keyboard (KU-1255). It has the Right Alt, Print Screen, Home, and End keys, but is missing the context menu key since the Print Screen key sits there and it doesn't use the updated mechanism of newer ThinkPads where Fn + Print Screen = Context Menu which is odd since they bothered to update the Windows logo to the Windows 11 one for the Start/Windows key. Been on a search for a keyboard that fits my requirement but the closest one I found recently is missing the Print Screen key and has a Right Windows Key (got no use for this) instead of Right Ctrl key. The Print Screen I can replicate with other shortcuts though so I'm still on the fence on getting it. Hopefully one day I'll find my ideal layout keyboard that's smaller than a TKL lol.

is it just mine or the ctrl + alt + del keys are not working to lock/unlock the computer?

[@suli_xli]

Should I get the crescent or reaper switch?

[@user-gz7mv8mx3h]
