In the end, it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/epomaker.com\/products\/epomaker-aula-f87-pro\">Epomaker AULA F87 Pro<\/a>, as I had already had one of these keyboards to test. I liked the typing feel and the low noise level. My previous mechanical keyboard was relatively loud, so I wanted it to be a little quieter.<\/p>\n<p>As I work with several computers, I also wanted to be flexible. The Epomaker promises three options for connecting to the computer: cable, wireless (with USB dongle and Bluetooth).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_review\"><\/span>Video review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XyEr-waZk30?si=5_K8ss_8Vp9gWer5\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hardware_scope_of_delivery_processing\"><\/span>Hardware, scope of delivery, processing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s unpack the thing. A USB-C cable is included alongside the keyboard. The UBS dongle is in the keyboard, and there is also a tool for removing the caps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The keyboard is available in different colours. I opted for a classic colour combination, soft white and dark blue.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing to criticise in terms of workmanship, the keyboard is of high quality and stands stably on the table. There are two fold-out feet on the underside. A short guide explains the functions and setting modes, including for mobile operating systems such as iOS or Android.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_in_practice_functions\"><\/span>Use in practice, functions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The typing feel is amazing and is one of the best I&#8217;ve ever had as a keyboard. Hard to describe, high-quality, not rickety. Typing produces a chic sound and feels very precise.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_16.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_16-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/keyboard_16-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also like the lighting. The buttons are illuminated and there are also LEDs on the side. Both are controllable. There are different effects, something for every taste.<\/p>\n<p>The layout took a little getting used to. The keyboard doesn&#8217;t have a number pad, which I don&#8217;t need, but it has an American layout. The Enter key is therefore slightly narrower. The rest is standard layout and doesn&#8217;t cause any problems, as I type blind anyway. However, there is one key that is missing, the &#8220;&lt;&gt;|&#8221; key. Here I have helped myself by repurposing the <a href=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/61943\/linux-tasten-umbelegen-taste-fehlt-auf-neuer-tastaturinux-key-remapping\/\">Caps-Lock key<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/tastatur_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/tastatur_1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/tastatur_1-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/tastatur_1-768x288.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is easy to switch between different computers, main PC Bluetooth, other PC has the dongle. The keyboard can also be charged via the USB-C cable. Three Bluetooth connections are possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A great keyboard. The only drawback is the missing key, but I was able to reconfigure this quickly under Windows and Linux. It&#8217;s really fun to use the keyboard to hammer out the next blog article. The lighting is stylish and the option to use different connection types is also practical.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/epomaker.com\/products\/epomaker-aula-f87-pro\" target=\"_blank\"
