The Keyboard Everyone Should Be Talking About - EPOMAKER x AULA F75
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 січ 2024
- This is the Epomaker x Aula F75 keyboard. I was interested in this guy for a few different reasons. First, it is a 75% keyboard, which is my personal favorite size. Second, it has a gasket structure and hot-swap functionality which means it should sound and feel sublime. Third, it has three-way connectivity which includes USB-C, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.0 along with Mac, Windows, and Android support. Last, the price. It comes in at $69.99.

Hey man, I just got this yesterday, and it was absolutely BANGER! the switches feels very smooth, sound is decent, and the overall asthetics just feels right to me. I dont care if this video is sponsored, it's a superb keyboard for the price, and I'm super happy with it
I'm glad you are enjoying it!
I picked up an Aula f75 a few months ago and I am very happy with it. The sound and feel of this board is fantastic for its price point. I really like those leobog reaper switches…
Right?! I'm still impressed with how much I like this board. Even took the Leobog Reaper Switches and put them in my Razer Blackwidow V4. But this keyboard still sounds and feels better.
Dude this is my first time watching you and you are freakin awesome! This keyboard will arrive tomorrow and after watching your review, it reinforced my decision on picking it up!
You were thorough and super honest but most importantly, nothing too fancy or over the top just straight forward so kudos to you
You just gained another sub lol
Mine just arrived today and it's amazing
@@ShibaGCT it’s literally better than my Glorious out of the box, I truly hate to say that due to how much I spent on it lol
@@denniskasador6037 I agree. It like this one a lot better than my Glorious. Which makes me sad. Because yeah, it was a lot more...
I appreciate the kudos. Thanks for taking the time. It is truly appreciated. Excited for you! Would love to year your thoughts on it once it comes in.
@@ThomasMuehler it’s sooo much better than I expected! I got it with the LEOBOGs and it’s straight butter!
I saw in another video that there is a place to customize your keyboard and update your firmware, but after I followed it there has been a delay in responsiveness or responsiveness goes in and out. I’ve tried to reset it, but it doesn’t work. help 😭
Oh no that sounds awful. I think you'll have to reach out directly to them for support. As I have no idea.
For anyone who want to turn off the Light indicator just press
FN + shift (left shift)
Thank you do you know how to turn it off lol?
danke
@@celinefigueroa2016 yes you can press to cycle through diff modes including the off mode
This is the reason this video was recommended to me haha. Thanks!
I just bought this and with regards to the battery blinking light is there anyway to stop that ? from constantly Blinking ? Overall really happy with the product its great for its price
FN - Shift I believe. If not I have answered this in the comments somewhere that you can hunt down.
do you know if the software actually has a virus? my windows security is flagging it as having malware and trojans.
I didn't even know there was software. So, I'm not sure.
I'm using this shit, really feels comfortable and has an amazing typing experience. Excellent in this budget without a single doubt
Totally agree. I continue to be impressed by how good it feels when I take it out and use it.
Hi i bought the keyboard but i cant remap the keys i download the driver but i really cant understand how to remap some advice?
I didn't know there was software. I have no idea about any of it. I can't help. i'm sorry.
Hi sir, can you help me? I'm buy a AULA F75 recently, was delivered today. I try to use on Mac, using FN + E, but all the function keys (F1, F2... F12) are in "media mode" (volume up, down, brightness, mic, mute, etc).
I search in all internet about fn lock or some software to fix that, but I didnt find anything.
I need F-keys because I'm a developer and F-keys is heavly used. Can you help me?
This is a great question. I too couldn't find anything. I know when you are in Windows mode the function keys will work normally. However, when on Mac that means the normal copy/paste etc. doesn't work like normal. So, frustrating either way. I did email them to see what they had to say. Waiting on a reply. At which point I'll get back to you on what they said. If I remember. So feel free if I don't reach back out in like 48 hours to message me back and remind me.
The reply I got back did not provide any information. I've sent another follow up but they are out of office until after May 5 (holiday).
Hey man. I might be a little late. I love this keyboard so far, but been having issues with the knob. Every time i turn it to left or right it just turns off my pc or sometimes just puts it in standby mode. Any idea what the issue might be?
That is wild and definitely shouldn’t be happening. My guess is that something is shorting out which is then causing your PC freak out from electricity overload. Which is super bad. But I’d expect that to be localized to your keyboard and not travel down the cable. Unless if you found some software that changes keybinds. I’d reach out to their support team. Or if you have another PC test it out on that. If it happens on that PC too then it definitely is the keyboard. What other symptoms are you having with the keyboard? Like bluescreen? What happens if you are wireless over wired (as I’m assuming wired)?
@@ThomasMuehler I appreciate you getting back to me! I ended up changing wired to BT, and switching it back to wired and its working fine now as a volume knob. I can't get it to work in "Game mode" or "Office mode". which is fine. I think it being a volume knob works better for me anyways lol. Thanks Thomas!
@@AyooTheoo That is some crazy stuff. How wild. But I'm glad it is working correctly now.
sorry if you said this but did you say if it works on iMac not Mac book does it work in iMac?
Yes, unless if an iMac is using some special type of operating system. It should all be on MacOS which it supports.
Hey great video! Do you find the switches have a good actuation point for typing? I have a Razer Huntsmen TE and the linear switches actuate so easily I make TONS of mistakes when typing
I think the actuation point is perfect for typing. Along with the overall feel. Which is why I like this guy so much. I think I have my fastest WPM with it. They absolutely nailed the typing experience. If you pick it up I'd love to hear your thoughts whether they agree or disagree.
@@ThomasMuehler Thanks for the reply! I ended up pulling the trigger on it and I have to say it is the perfect sweet spot! The linear switches are super responsive and comfortable but the actuation point is not overly sensitive for me.
Your video convinced me! Thanks for the review!
@@kellysedor9157 I'm glad you are enjoying it! Truly I was not expecting to like it. And it really surprised me.
I love this keyboard. Bought it with reaper switches & only changed out some keycaps to get a German layout. I used white cherry keycaps with light blue lettering, they where a perfect fit with the original keycaps and the esthetic.
Sounds awesome! Glad those keycaps fit just right.
Just bought this keyboard, with Sea Salt Silent switches. It is so solid and like the name says, is silent with the switches straight out the box.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I thought the same thing. I was really surprised.
Yo! Nice video! I was looking through the desc for the link and found your pc parts list. No insult but if you have the time and money I would suggest a processor/CPU upgrade.
I appreciate you looking out for me. If it was my 3800X I absolutely agree. I don't remember what is in my description. I've got a Intel-14700F right now. Along with a 5800X in another PC. Plus my graphics card was upgraded so I'm doing well at the moment from that perspective. But again, appreciate you looking out. What are you running right now?
@@ThomasMuehler Currently i'm building a Pc with a 7600x along with a 6700xt, I also have a 32Gb kit of ddr5 ram but I forgot what brand, 6000mhz. I was just worried because your description said that you had a 5900x and a 4090.
@@Simply-Smile Nice! Sounds like a good PC!
The 5900X actually did pretty good with the 4090. Especially, for the price as I think I got it on sale for like $250 and didn't need a motherboard or RAM upgrade. The Intel-14700F does better. The bump from that to the 7800X3D or something is not worth the tremendous increase in cost (Motherboard, RAM, CPU). As the increase in frames is minimal for the price. Or at least in my opinion when I looked last. But in general didn't go into this PC build with the best plan. More like I got an invitation for a 4090 and always dreamed of owning a Halo card that was stock from Nvidia that had a very limited time to say yes too. It fell in my lap, I was able to afford it. But wasn't able to afford building a completely new rig. So kind of piecemealed together over time. So... like no intelligence went into the decision. More an opportunity arose, I took it, and tried to figure out everything else as I went.
@@ThomasMuehler Sounds like a nice opportunity to have! The same thing happened to me with my processor as I had gotten my 32gb of ram for free with it!
@@Simply-Smile Can't complain about that! That's awesome.
wireless keyboards are really tempting, how's the polling rate and latency with 2.4? great review 🙌
Polling rate is 1,000 Hz. I found latency to be good. Where in normal casual gaming I wouldn't notice anything. But I think I noticed it not being as responsive for the highly competitive games as wired. But most people would say that is placebo and not something I could actually notice. But not enough to make like a make it or break it type thing.
Put simply. Latency for normal use zero issues. For causal gaming zero issues. For competitive gaming, if I'm splitting hairs, yes a difference. But not enough to be significant.
Can confirm as an owner that the wireless 2.4 gHz mode is fine for casual gaming or work, but for anything competitive I'd definitely use wired as you will notice some delay.
Is the sound stock or did you lubed those switches and did the tape mod to the keyboard??
Great review btw!❤
That is all stock. I did nothing to it.
Hi, i'm about to buy one and io don't know witch switch should i get. I have the choice between crescent and reaper. actually i ll use to play trs and i noticed that most of the gamers in rts use brown
Actually, changing color i could get even the ice vein
I wish I could be more help. But I don't know what the differences are between those switches. And find that finding information is quite difficult. I know that the Repear switch is linear as that is the one I got. I would imagine based off other things that one of those would be a tactile switch like Browns and the other would be a clicky switch. But I'm not sure. I would reach out to them and see what they say. As switches really are personal opinion/preference. @@alberto3278
How long did urs take to come in? Mine says pre orders come out in 4 weeks 😔.
It came pretty quickly. But if it says pre-order and four weeks I'd expect that to be relatively accurate.
This is shipped via cargo/ship so it'll take a while to reach you.
I’ve been wanting to try this keyboard, but I heard epomaker doesn’t make their own keyboards and they just take other keyboards and slap their name on it. Is this still happening?
That is an excellent question. I wish I had a better answer for you. But I simply don’t know.
Yes, made by aula. Sells in 40 dollars in east countries
Can you customize the RGB with software?
Not that I was able to find. I think it is just what comes stock with the board. That's not to say if you know some other programs that tend to work universally may work though. But then you are going more into not-officially-supported territory. That I don't dabble in myself.
I bought this used and can’t figure out how to turn it off 😫😫 help me lol
There is a switch on the top left. Just move it to the middle. Then to either side for wireless with dongle or bluetooth.
should i get this or the yunzii al66?
I haven't tried and know nothing about the Yunzii Al66. So I couldn't tell you. Hopefully someone else will come along and provide a better answer. But I find that to be unlikely based on the size of my channel. But you never know!
I just got mine and I love it but do you know HOW THE FCK do I STOP THE FLASHING LIGHT NEXT TO THE ESC BUTTON???!!! I'ts driving me insaneeeeeee :')
FN + left shift key
@@ThomasMuehler Thanks so much!!! :)
does this keyboard work for playstation and xbox? i would like to know if its compatible before buying.
It is afaik
I just tried it on my PS5 both wired and with the 2.4 GHz wireless dongle and it worked.
Is it working with macOS? Can you switch between macOS and Windows?
Yes and yes.
@@ThomasMuehler and how can you switch between these two OS?
@@chubby3865 I don't remember exactly off the top of my head. They come with instructions on all the different secondary keys. I think it is FN + Z, X, or C. Or maybe it is Q, W, E. Basically, you press FN and then one of those keys to switch between Windows, Mac, and Android. Pretty sure I cover that in the video itself.
Which switch should I get for this keyboard?
I wish I could tell you. I don't know what the other switches are that they include. I got mine with the Reaper Switch and it's a linear switch. I enjoy it quite a bit. Plus the board is hot swappable. Meaning you could put whatever switch you want in it. switches are also personal preference so its more of a you decision then any one else.
Reapers or graywoods (reapers have better rgb and stablity while graywood v3 have a deeper sound so its preference)
What keycap set is that? looks pretty clean!
That is the stock keycap set that comes with the keyboard.
@@ThomasMuehler OH my bad, I meant to say the keycaps that appear at 5:55, the ones on the middle of the board.
@@fejotore That makes more sense. lol. My bad. I believe they are the Glorious Aura V2 Keycaps.
Can someone please tell me of there's a difference between the epomaker X aula 75 and the normal aula 75
I don't know. I'd bring them both up and then compare and contrast from there. Or you could reach out to their support.
@@ThomasMuehler thanks for the reply
The market is changing quite rapidly at the moment. Budget boards are just getting better and better. With that in mind, this is not that impressive. If this keyboard was released 6 months ago, then it would’ve been incredible. So many better options out there now
Which ones would you recommend? For those who see this comment and would like to research alternatives?
Or perhaps easier, what makes this one not that impressive compared to others that people should be looking for instead?
depends on where you are. I would not buy it at the $69.99 price, but from where I am, I can buy this at around $50 (SE Asia). It's still a good budget entry board for those who are still yet to dip their toes into the hobby.
It was indeed released around 6 months ago in China, and at that time it was, like you said, really incredible for its price I had to snag one myself - black case with TTC Crescent switches.
@@law2xoliver You forgot that us SEA can enjoy Aula for much cheaper than the West because we are close to China. Pretty much every entry boards got their price jacked up otherwise
@@Zack-Strifevery true, I’m in SEA and I got this keyboard for less than $30
What’s the 2nd keyboard shown in the video
Glorious GMMK Pro with Panda Switches and Steelseries Aura2 keycaps.
Does it have any programming software like Via?
Yes it has it’s own software
I haven't used it but apparently there is.
what is your favourite rgb mode for this keyboard?
Honestly, I don't think I have one. But I usually like either a solid color or like a wave effect.
@@ThomasMuehler ah cool
@@suli_xli What is your favorite?
@@ThomasMuehler I like the static white and purple and also I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s where the colours move in random places and I have it on purple
@@suli_xli I think I call that "rain". That one is really neat. In general I just like RGB lighting on keyboards. There are a lot of neat ones.
I just bought this for 130 bucks canadian, it will be here tomorrow, looks like a pretty sweet board.
Would love to hear your thoughts on it once you try it out.
@@ThomasMuehler It's easily the best keyboard I have ever used, the typing experience on it blows away the gaming keyboards I have used in the past. I would say about the only thing I don't really like about it is the light that is in between the escape key and the f1 key, when I'm gaming that light is constantly flashing, I wish there was a way to just shut it off.
@@jdplumber007 There is a way to turn it off. Or at the very least make it solid instead of blinking. I forgot what the key combination is. But if you read the sheet that shows the shortcuts it should tell you. I may have also mentioned it in the video.
@@ThomasMuehler yea it's function and shift. I'm loving the keyboard. Typing on it just feels so good compared to my hyper x keyboard with the aqua switches. I have been using it wirelessly for about a week now and I think I have only dropped like 1 bar for power, pretty impressive!!
@@jdplumber007 Yeah, sorry I didn't have that information off hand.
I'm glad you are enjoying it! I agree typing on it is a real joy. I think this is still the best feeling keyboard I own. Which is sad seeing as it is probably one of if not the cheapest keyboard I own. lol.
And yes, I've been very surprised on how good the battery life is. Recently also got to try the Corsair K65 Plus Wireless. And the battery life on that is way worse then it is on this guy.
Is this keyboard compatible with the PS5?
Yes. I do believe so. I go over all that somewhere in the video. When talking about mac and other support.
how much you want for your viper se?
It's not for sale. I love it far to much to ever part ways. It sleeps with me at night in my bed. Has its own sheet and pillow and everything.
to see the life of the battery, just press fn + b, 0 being full battery and 1 being low.
Absolutely right! Thanks for the clarification!
Is this keyboard compatible with Mac?
Yes.
i paid 40aud (200rmb) for this and its probably the best 40 aud ive ever spent on a keyboard
I completely agree. I'm still blown away at how good it is for the price.
Where did you get it from for 40 aud?
to have 2 or 3 or 5 layers of insulation in the board is not a sign of quality in itself. Every element of the board plays a role. It is the same for aluminum, which is not necessarily better than plastic. High quality plastic is better than cheap cast aluminum. The Aula 75 caught my attention because it is good and it is made of plastic. What I don't like about it is that it is not so easy to take apart because they didn't use any screws. Anyway that's my two cents, I'm not an expert either.
Love you actually giving reasoning behind your thoughts. Thats help. Thank you very much.
why is NO ONE ONLINE TELLING ME IF I CAN PLUG THIS IN OR NOT. NO COMPUTER HAS A C PORT.
People are probably not answering you because you are yelling and also not providing a clear question. Additionally, these questions are answered in the video and also on the site itself for the product.
There are three ways to use this keyboard.
1. USB-A to USB-C. The USB-C side goes into the keyboard. The USB-A side (which all computers have... for the most part) is what would plug into the PC. The keyboard knob would be in the center.
2. It has a USA-A Wireless Dongle. Which would also plug into your PC. Then switch the keyboard to the Wireless mode.
3. Through Bluetooth. Assuming your PC supports that.
Did that fully answer your question(s)?
Deng better keyboards for low prices... I personally love the thockky sound of the Aula F75 with Crescent switch, they sounded like 500 dollar keyboard lol
Right?! I was very pleasantly surprised by this guy. I'm still reaching for it over a lot of my other keyboards that are dramatically more expensive.
you should try attack shark x85 also i guess that's the best one to compare with aula f75
I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ThomasMuehler or langtu L75
Too many connectivity options. Just give it a single cord.
While I totally understand where you are coming from. I respectfully disagree. I like options.
yooo
If this keyboard impresses you, the Rainy75 will blow you away.
(it's not widely available yet, but apparently will be in just a few months)
30$ more but, it’s ik it’s insanely good
I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
Good call, I love my Rainy as well!
Fakespot F, tho...
How so? Or why do you think that? Truly curious and would love to see your reply.
