The Truth Behind the Aula F75 Wheel: Why Keyboard Geeks Can't Stop Talking About It
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Mounting a heavy metal wheel directly to an open plastic chassis often creates unwanted resonance. When you click the knob down, hollow cases act as miniature echo chambers, turning simple clicks into metallic pings.
The F75 bypasses this defect through its layered internal architecture. Built as a gasket mount mechanical keyboard, the switch plate rests on flexible silicone gaskets rather than rigid screw posts. Surrounding the hot-swappable PCB is an intensive stack of sound deadening:
- A molded silicone base pad filling the bottom casing.
- A thick layer of Poron sound dampening foam tucked beneath the switches.
- An IXPE switch pad combined with a PET acoustic film to tune higher-frequency clatter.
This acoustic buffering isolates the physical force applied to the rotary knob. Rapidly clicking the top dial produces a muffled, deep "thud" rather than high-pitched chassis vibration. When paired with factory-lubed LEOBOG Reaper switches, the keyboard maintains an ultra-consistent sound profile across both standard typing clusters and auxiliary controls.
