AULA F3050 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Custom Hotswap Keyboard for Windows PC Gaming, Full Size Computer Gamer Keyboard, LED Backlit Keys, Wireless/Wired Connection, Blue Switch

This keyboard is 3 pin hot swapable. (no 5 pin but it could be modified to work). The switches are extremally dry if they have been lubed. The case is fairly open and includes no foam. Key caps appear to be double shot of some plastic but is very thin and sound hollow. The battery fell out of the keyboard during disassembly and appears to be an off brand battery. After removing the battery filling the case with pour able silicon. Blue tape modding the pcb. Removing switches and probably over lubing (will be swapped out soon) and o ring every key it sounds...acceptable. Fun to build with and if you break it your now out a bunch of money. Idk if i'd get one again but def a fun experience.Update:Thought the noises I was hearing was spring ping. Turns out its the plate over the pcb. Not sure on the thickness yet(will update later). Going to try adding some foam and see if its any better. Keyboard feels heavy and dense with the silicon just hope the "ping" goes away with some foam. Otherwise pretty thooccy so farUpdate2:pcb to plate is 6mm and looks like it requires two of the thickest precut foam pieces available on amazon. will update when new foam shows up. still very pingy. You must use plate mounted stabilizers. no holes available for pcb mounted stabilizers. Does appear that you could oring mount the board if you removed all the switches going to see if that helps at all. (ping is better with the foam and it looks like only 1 would fit of the thickness i got (5mm) still a little bit of gaps though)

The media could not be loaded.  This is a really nice keyboard, but I have to say that I feel that it is lacking in a couple areas. Overall, the keys feel good and the lights have the typical modes of a single color mechanical keyboard in the lower price range.Performance wise, it's great, the battery has already lasted longer than a week, and the keys seem responsive enough for a wireless keyboard. Everything you need is here, media keys, numpad, & function keys.The 'clickyness' of the switches is fine, I have a couple other mechanical keyboards with various switches, and this one feels to be on the louder side, but feels soft & light when you press down.The package is very professional, and comes with all the expected bells and whistles of a mechanical keyboard, extra switches, alternate colored keys, and a key remover. What I did not expect for this was the dongle however. My other branded wireless keyboards were true bluetooth and can directly connect to my device, but unfortunately, this one requires a dongle, which can take up valuable usb spots that will also be needed for mice and controllers. Of course, you can use a regular usb hub. However, this keyboard appears to not work with usb type-c hubs. In my tests, this kind of hub caused interference and would shut the keyboard off constantly.What is nice is the auto shut off after a minute of no use, the charge for the keyboard seems to last for a very long time, much longer than my other bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard also automatically turns off if the dongle is not connected to anything, another good benefit for saving battery.The lights are a little bit of a disappointment. The product does only show the blue light, which is the only color it can display. It is pretty, but the animation modes are rather simplistic or look very poor quality / choppy. (See attached video of one of these animations) I left it on the all lit mode because the animations weren't that appealing to me.I wish there was a way to change the backlight mode while in other modes like 'office mode'. Switching from mode to mode just to change the lighting can be tedious. It's difficult to see which mode you are in unless you look closely at the M keys. The opposite can be a problem as well, the media keys can only be used in 'office mode'. Office mode is the preferred mode, because of these media keys and the volume slider on the neat little wheel at the top right of the keyboard.When in gaming mode, they are a dedicated set of buttons for three additional game themed lighting sets. These are a bit uninteresting, as they only keep game-related hotkeys lit with no fading or animation. The wheel changes the brightness of the keyboard. This mode is really only for setting up the lights for other modes, and nothing else.The picture mode is not too useful to me, it makes the wheel a scrollwheel, which is fine, but you would be using a mouse anyway. I think making the final mode remappable to solve my mode-related key problems above would have been a lot better.Overall, it's a nice keyboard, and I'm really fond of the color scheme and 'futuristic fps' design; it reminds me a lot of Overwatch. I would say it's a great buy if you can get the discounts that were available at the time of this review.

Compared to the membrane keyboards that most people are using, this is a big improvement. The keyswitches are really nice to type on, the volume wheel is good, and the general typing experience is very pleasant. Plus, if you're into RGB, there is a lot to like here.However, that's where my praise ends, because at the asking price of $80, you can do much better than this. For comparison, I will be referring to the Royal Kludge RK98 I've been using, which conveniently costs the same as this board. The RK98 is a hefty board, and despite its smaller format, it feels much more dense, well-built, and premium. In contrast, while this board has a metal deck, the actual housing is made of a cheap feeling plastic, which doesn't even have rubber feet on the kickstands. On top of that, the storage for the usb dongle on this thing is pretty bad. They have a magnet, but it's pretty weak, and there isn't a slot for it to fit into. Good luck putting this in storage, because when you dig it out again the dongle is going to be MIA. Probably my biggest complaint with build quality comes from the space bar. They have the usual metal bar to stabilize it, but it doesn't actually do anything because it doesn't have a spring or anything. This makes the space bar feel super wobbly and cheap, especially after i switched back to the RK98.Finally, let's talk features. A $40-$50 Redragon keyboard being light on features is pretty excusable, but when you move the price bracket up to $80, I start to expect a lot more. Going back to the RK98 for a second, at the same MSRP, it has a solid build, excellent key stabilization, bluetooth, multiple levels of height adjust, and a much slimmer profile around the sides. This keyboard, in contrast, has none of those things. It's just a standard mechanical keyboard with basic rgb effects.Does that mean this keyboard is bad? No, not at all. It's completely serviceable. But if you're paying $80 for it, you're buying the wrong keyboard. The competition from other brands is just really strong, and this decent keyboard just falls short.
