The AULA F87  is a compact 87-key TKL mechanical gaming keyboard built for users who want the functionality of a traditional keyboard without the unnecessary size of a full-size numpad. It combines tri-mode wireless connectivity, hot-swappable mechanical switches, gasket mounting, five-layer sound dampening, per-key RGB lighting and a 4000mAh rechargeable battery in a solid, gaming-focused design.

This particular configuration comes with LEOBOG Gray Wood V4 linear switches, giving the keyboard a smooth and consistent keystroke. The switches are pre-lubed and rated with a 40±3gf operating force, 1.5±0.3mm pre-travel and 3.6±0.3mm total travel, making them suitable for both gaming and everyday typing. 

87-Key TKL Layout

The F87  uses a compact 87-key Tenkeyless layout. You retain the dedicated function row, navigation keys and arrow cluster while removing the numeric keypad. This saves valuable desk space and gives your mouse more room for movement, which is particularly useful for FPS and competitive gaming.

The keyboard measures approximately 365.9 × 139 × 41.1mm, making it compact enough for smaller desks while still providing a familiar desktop keyboard layout. 

LEOBOG Gray Wood V4 Linear Switches

The included LEOBOG Gray Wood V4 switches are pre-lubed linear mechanical switches designed for a smooth, relatively quiet typing experience.

Key switch specifications include:

• Operating force: 40±3gf
• Pre-travel: 1.5±0.3mm
• Total travel: 3.6±0.3mm
• Switch type: Linear
• Pre-lubed: Yes

The linear design is well suited to gaming because the keystroke remains consistent from the beginning to the bottom of the press.

Full-Key Hot-Swappable PCB

One of the biggest advantages of the F87  is its full-key hot-swappable PCB. Compatible switches can be removed and replaced without soldering, allowing you to customize the keyboard's feel later.

The PCB uses 1.2mm single-key slotting, while the keyboard supports both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. This makes the F87  a good starting point for users who want to experiment with different mechanical switches. 

Tri-Mode Connectivity

The AULA F87  can connect in three ways:

• USB-C wired
• 2.4GHz wireless
• Bluetooth 5.0

The 2.4GHz connection is designed for low-latency wireless use, while Bluetooth is useful when connecting to compatible laptops, tablets, phones and other devices. The keyboard can also be used while connected through USB-C. AULA's documentation confirms support for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS devices. 

Gasket Mount with Five-Layer Sound Dampening

The F87  uses a gasket-mounted construction designed to provide a softer and more flexible typing feel. Its internal structure includes multiple layers of sound-dampening material to reduce unwanted keyboard resonance and make keystrokes feel more controlled.

The five-layer dampening construction, combined with pre-tuned stabilizers, helps improve the overall sound and feel of larger keys such as the spacebar, Shift and Enter. 

16-Million-Color RGB Backlighting

The keyboard features per-key RGB lighting with approximately 16 million colors, allowing you to personalize the appearance of your setup.

The software provides multiple lighting effects and music-reactive modes, while keyboard shortcuts allow convenient control of lighting without always needing to open the software. The side RGB lighting also adds ambient illumination around the keyboard. 

Custom RGB and Macro Software

The AULA software allows you to customize the keyboard beyond basic lighting. You can configure RGB effects, create custom lighting profiles and program supported keyboard functions and macros.

The software shown for this model supports 16 million color customization, 16 lighting modes and 10 music rhythm modes. Macro functionality is designed for Windows.

4000mAh Long-Lasting Battery

The F87  is equipped with a 4000mAh rechargeable lithium battery. According to AULA's specifications, battery life is approximately 22 hours with the default lighting effect and up to 266 hours with the lights turned off. It can also be used while charging. 

This gives you the flexibility to keep the keyboard wireless for everyday use while having USB-C available whenever you need a direct wired connection.

South-Facing LEDs

The keyboard uses south-facing LEDs, which provide a more suitable lighting arrangement for compatible keycaps and contribute to even per-key RGB illumination.
