Our Verdict

DrunkDeer A75

AULA F99/F75

The DrunkDeer A75 and the AULA F75 are mechanical gaming keyboards. The major difference between them is that the DrunkDeer keyboard uses Hall-effect switches, allowing you to customize individual switches' actuation and reset points. It's also a wired-only model and has a tray mount design that makes it noticeably stiffer to type on. Comparatively, the AULA uses standard mechanical switches. It's also a wireless model and has a much softer and springy-feeling gasket mount design. Unfortunately, it's a more confusing buying experience with poor documentation and some uncertainty about what components you'll receive.
