The Aula F75 and the Aula F75 Max share a maker, a 75% layout with 80 keys, a gasket mount and three ways to connect. Aula says the Max "upgrades from its successful predecessor", and "aula f75 vs aula f75 max" is something people search for word for word: they want to know whether the Max sounds different enough to pay for. The clearest way to find out is to hear both.
Both boards are in the Mechvibes library as community sound packs, so you can hear them before you buy. We have not used these keyboards ourselves; the facts below come from their makers' pages, linked.

How they sound
The F75 has four packs, each with a different setup. aula f75 and Aula 75 (Graywood V3 and Ice Vein) are described as creamy, the first without naming its switches. Aula F75 by actavius, on LEOBOG Reaper switches, is described as thocky and creamy. aula f75 with gateron oil kings, on a switch Aula does not list for the board, is described as thocky.
All three F75 Max packs record LEOBOG Reaper switches, the only switch Aula lists for it. aula f75 max leobog reaper switch and VERY VERY CREAMY AULA F75 MAX are described as creamy. Aula F75 Max Leobog Reaper switch is described as clacky.
Aula describes the Max's sound itself as "the right amount of creamy and thocky combined" (Aula). Its F75 page does not describe the sound.
For the closest match, open Aula F75 by actavius and one of the F75 Max packs: both record LEOBOG Reaper switches, so what you hear apart is mostly the board and the recording. Type the same sentence on both, at the same volume.
What sets them apart
- The knob and the screen. The Max adds a metal volume knob and a TFT screen that can show GIFs and the connection and battery state (Aula). Aula's F75 page lists neither (Aula).
- What is inside. Aula lists five layers of sound dampening in the Max: a sandwich pad, an IXPE switch pad, a PET sound-enhancement pad, bottom foam and bottom silicone, with a partially flex-cut PC plate (Aula). The F75's page does not state its plate or foam.
- The switch choice. The F75 comes with a choice of LEOBOG Reaper, Greywood V3 or Ice Vein, TTC and Aula Crescent, or Dream Sakura switches, depending on the colour (Aula). The Max is sold with LEOBOG Reaper switches only (Aula).
- The weight. Aula gives the F75 as about 1,023 g with its cable and receiver (Aula) and the Max as 0.96 kg (Aula).
- Battery life and polling. Both have a 4000 mAh battery. For the Max, Aula states 30.5 hours with the backlight on and 80 hours with it off, and a 1000 Hz polling rate over USB and 2.4 GHz (Aula). The F75's page states neither.
Which one to hear first
If you want a creamy sound, both boards have it: two of the Max's three packs and three of the F75's four are described that way, so hear one of each with the same sentence. If you want a deeper sound, start with the F75: its packs are the only ones of the two boards described as thocky. If you want a brighter, clackier sound, start with the Max pack described as clacky.
If you are choosing a switch, the F75's packs record Graywood V3 and Ice Vein, Reaper and Gateron Oil King switches, so you can hear how much the switch changes the same board. The Max's packs all record the Reaper.
How to listen
Every pack page has a keyboard you can type on. Turn the volume up and type anywhere on the page to hear the pack. To hear it while you work in other apps, download Mechvibes, open the pack and press Install.
The same keyboard can sound very different from one recording to the next. Switches, keycaps, the desk and the microphone all change the sound, which is why some keyboards here have several packs. If you own one of these boards in a setup that is missing here, you can record your own pack and add it to the library.
