Hello fellow members,

what would be a best budget mechanical keyboard? I'm considering Aula f87.
Need your suggestions to see if there are any better options.
 
Mention your budget, size & switch expectations, also look into north vs south facing LEDs as backlight is useless in the latter type.
 
what about full size ? I am upgrading from HP GK 320. Voulme knob is must.
If you can live with south facing LEDs, look at Attack Shark X98PRO or RK S98. These have linear switches, great for gaming.

I bought RK100 as I wanted a usable backlight on my keycaps & a brown switch. Remapped top right keys for play/pause, vol down & vol up.

I dont do game at all. Just baisc office work and market. I checked RKS98. its out of budget for me. max to max 5-7K can spend.
 
I’ve got a CIY GAS67(wired) that’s fully built and modded which hasn’t been seeing much use. Although it’s not 80% like you mentioned as your requirement, let me know if you’re interested.

Other than that Aula F75 is indeed a popular option, one of my friends has it and it seemed pretty decent for the price when I tried it out.

Does the volume knob work without having to press the Fn button ?

Lets say I am playing youtube video or playing music in media player. Can I use the Knob to volume down / up / play / pause ?
