Two premium wireless quiet mechanical keyboards. The AULA F99 Pro is the foam-stack-heavy custom-feel platform with massive battery and a knob. The AUSDOM 98Pro Wireless Silent is the silent-switch-first board with hot-swap and gasket build. Both wireless, both under $100, both quiet. Which one you should buy depends on whether you want a platform or a finished product.

AULA F99 Pro
The AULA F99 Pro is a high-performance wireless mechanical keyboard designed for both serious gamers and professionals. Its compact 95% layout offers a near full-size typing experience while saving valuable desk space. With seamless tri-mode connectivity—Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless, and...
This is the keyboard for people who want to tinker. Stock it’s a great-sounding tactile board with five layers of foam dampening, factory-lubed stabilizers, and a useful knob. Swap in silent switches and it becomes the quietest board on the list. Battery is ridiculous in a good way — a month-plus on Bluetooth with the RGB on.
AUSDOM 98Pro Silent
AUSDOM Hola98Pro Wireless Mechanical Keyboard – Silent, Customizable & Multi-Device!The Hola98Pro Green & White Silent Keyboard is a quiet mechanical keyboard designed for office and home use, elevating your typing experience! With 97 keys in a space-saving layout, it meets all your needs while...
This is the keyboard for people who want quiet out of the box. Silent tactile switches come pre-installed, gasket mount kills bottom-out thud, and you’re done — no swapping needed. White-only backlight keeps it focused on workstation use. Slightly less premium-feeling than the F99 Pro but quieter stock and cheaper.
Acoustics — Stock vs Tuned
Stock, the AUSDOM wins on raw silence. Silent switches with built-in dampeners beat the F99 Pro’s tactile switches on bottom-out and upstroke noise. Tuned — meaning silent switches installed in both — the AULA F99 Pro pulls ahead because its five-layer foam stack also kills the case-resonance frequencies that gasket-mount alone can’t fully tame. If you’ll never swap switches, AUSDOM is quieter. If you will, AULA is quieter.
Typing Feel
Different flavors. The AULA F99 Pro has a satisfying tactile bump with a soft cushioned bottom-out — the foam stack makes typing feel premium. The AUSDOM has a tactile feel that’s slightly muted because of the silent dampeners, with a cleaner gasket-cushioned landing. Both are pleasant; the AULA feels more premium, the AUSDOM feels more refined.
Battery & Wireless
Both have three-mode wireless (Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, USB-C). AULA’s 8000mAh battery dwarfs whatever AUSDOM ships with — month-plus vs three-weeks in real-world use. For travel, the AULA is the better pick. For desk use where you can plug in occasionally, both are fine.
Keycaps & Build
AULA ships with doubleshot PBT keycaps — won’t shine, legends won’t fade. AUSDOM ships with doubleshot ABS — will shine over heavy use, but at least the legends won’t wear off. PBT is the better long-term keycap material. AULA wins this round.
RGB vs White Backlight
AULA has full per-key south-facing RGB plus a side glow strip. AUSDOM has white-only LED backlight. If you care about RGB, AULA. If you find RGB distracting and want a clean workstation, AUSDOM.
The Knob Question
AULA has a remappable knob — volume by default, scroll, brightness, or app shortcut via remap. AUSDOM doesn’t have one. If you don’t have a separate volume control nearby, the knob is genuinely useful. If you do, it’s a luxury.
Verdict — Which One Should You Buy?
If you want a keyboard that’s quiet out of the box and you want to spend less — buy the AUSDOM 98Pro Silent. The silent switches are pre-installed, the gasket mount works, and at $70 you’re done.
If you want the better platform and don’t mind a $25 switch upgrade later — buy the AULA F99 Pro. Five-layer foam, massive battery, PBT keycaps, knob, RGB. It’s the better keyboard once you tune it.
For most readers, the AUSDOM is the easier recommendation because it doesn’t require any post-purchase tinkering. For enthusiasts who’ll swap switches anyway, the AULA F99 Pro is the workstation endgame under $100.
