I’ve used the AULA F75 for a few months. The keyboard is nice, but the software? It’s a mix. Some parts feel smooth. Some parts fight you a little. You know what? It still got the job done for me, most days. If you’d like a second opinion, I found this real-world review of the AULA F75 software lines up with a lot of my own impressions.
Setup: faster than I thought, but not perfect
I installed it on my Windows 11 laptop at work. The app found my F75 right away and asked for a firmware update. That took a few minutes, then a restart. One weird thing: when my keyboard was plugged into a USB hub, the software didn’t see it. Plugged straight in, no problem. Small thing, but it tripped me up.
On my Mac at home, there’s no full app. I could change lights with the keyboard’s function keys, but not keymaps or macros. I borrowed my kid’s gaming PC when I needed to tweak stuff. Not great, but I lived with it.
Independent testing confirms that the AULA F75’s companion app offers extensive key remapping, macro building, and RGB tweaks, but remains Windows-only, leaving macOS users without advanced controls (techhighwave.com).
By contrast, platforms like QuSoft demonstrate how painless a truly cross-platform companion app can be.
The look and the feel: simple, a bit stiff
The app shows four main tabs: Keys, Macro, Lighting, and Settings. The icons are clear. The fonts are tiny, though. It feels like a straight port from another tool. It works, but it’s not pretty. It also sits in the tray when you close it, which I liked—quick to reopen.
Key remaps I actually use
Here’s the thing: the remap page is the best part. I made a “Work” profile and a “Game” profile.
- I turned Caps Lock into Ctrl. My pinky is happy now.
- I changed Right Alt into “Mute” for Zoom and Teams. One tap, sound gone.
- I moved Print Screen to Fn+Backspace. I take a lot of screenshots, and that spot feels natural. If you rely on screenshots and snips, there’s a helpful comparison of tools in this honest guide to clipping software.
- I set the Menu key to open Spotify. It’s silly, but I use it daily.
Saving to the keyboard took a few seconds. Then it worked even after I closed the app. I like that. Onboard memory matters.
Macros that helped (and one that didn’t)
I built a “Signature” macro for email. It types my name, title, and phone with one tap. I added a tiny delay between lines so it doesn’t jam. Works smooth.
For OBS, I set F13 to start/stop recording. I added a 50 ms delay at the start so OBS doesn’t double-trigger. That one saved me more than once.
In Photoshop, I made a macro for “Duplicate Layer, Rename, and Merge Down.” It’s clunky to do by hand, so the macro felt great. But a loop macro I tried in a game dropped the first key sometimes. I fixed it by adding a small delay. So yes, delays matter here.
I don’t use macros in ranked shooters. I like clean play. For general stuff though—editing, recording, daily tasks—they’re gold.
Lights: fun, bright, and a little odd
Per-key colors worked well. (The playful timing of waves and fades reminds me of animation cues—there’s a great breakdown of that mindset in this candid look at motion-graphics software.) I made three profiles:
- Work: white on the whole board, WASD in soft blue.
- Game: WASD, QE, Shift in bright white, rest in a slow rainbow wave.
- Chill: a warm amber glow at 30% brightness for late nights.
Music-reactive mode lagged for me by a beat. Cute, but I turned it off. The layer system is basic too. You can stack effects, but not very deep. Still, I got the look I wanted.
Profiles and switching
I saved three profiles to the board and use Fn+1, Fn+2, and Fn+3 to swap. It switches fast. Once, after a firmware update, my Fn+1 profile lost a few key changes. I had an export saved, so I pulled it back in. Now I always back up first.
I wish it could switch profiles by app. Like when I open Photoshop, jump to my “Edit” layout. It can’t do that. Manual only.
Little tweaks that matter
- Polling rate goes up to 1000 Hz. I keep it there.
- There’s a debounce setting. I left it at default. I tried lower once. A key chattered. Back to safe.
- Startup with Windows works fine. It doesn’t hog my system.
Things that bugged me
- No full macOS app. That’s the big one.
- English text in the app feels a bit off. Not hard to use, just clunky.
- One crash while I edited a macro loop. Only happened once, but still. Other reviewers have also noted intermittent freezes and a somewhat confusing UI during customization sessions, echoing my own experience (nexustechreview.com).
- Firmware update reset one of my profiles. Like I said, export first.
Small wins that made me smile
- It kept my remaps even when the app was closed. This is huge for a work laptop.
- Export and import of profiles is simple. I named mine Work, Game, and Chill. Easy to keep straight.
- Lighting brightness at 25–30% looks clean and doesn’t glare off my desk. Good for long sessions.
Quick tips from my desk
- Add short delays in long macros. It stops missed keys.
- Plug the keyboard straight into your PC for updates.
- Export profiles before firmware updates. Trust me on this one.
- If a macro acts weird, tap the “record delay” setting. It helped me.
Who it fits
If you want per-key RGB, easy remaps, and simple macros, this works. If you need deep layers like QMK or VIA, you’ll feel boxed in. If you’re on Mac full-time, this won’t give you the full toolset.
Bottom line
The AULA F75 software is good enough, and sometimes better than that. It let me map keys how I like, set helpful macros, and build clean light sets. It tripped on one update and one macro, and the Mac story is thin. But once I learned its quirks, it stayed out of my way—and that’s kind of what I want from keyboard software.
