AULA F99 vs Wooting 60HE v2
A budget wireless mechanical keyboard against the board that made magnetic switches mainstream, which is a comparison about what a keyboard is for.
The AULA F99 is a compact 99-key board with media controls on its function row, three connection modes including Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz, and conventional mechanical switches (linears from Graywood or Reaper, depending on the variant). It is a complete, full-featured office and gaming keyboard at a low price, and its wireless is the main reason to buy it.
The Wooting 60HE v2 is a 60-percent board with 61 keys, wired only, built around Lekker Hall-effect switches. That gives it what no mechanical switch can offer: adjustable actuation depth per key, rapid trigger that resets a key the instant it starts to rise, and analog input that lets keys behave like a controller stick. It polls at 8,000 Hz. It has no media keys, no wireless, and no number pad, because none of that is what its buyer wants.
The feature list favors the Wooting for reasons that only matter in competitive games. For typing and office work the AULA's layout, media keys and wireless are the practical advantages, and its switches are entirely respectable.
Buy the F99 for a desk that wants a big wireless board with a number pad and media keys at a low price and does not care about actuation tuning. Buy the 60HE v2 for a competitive player who will set per-key actuation and rapid trigger, plays wired, and wants a tiny footprint. Buying either for the other person's job would disappoint them in opposite ways.
Editor’s note
The AULA's switch depends on the variant. AULA lists a Graywood V3 linear rated at 40 gf and a Reaper linear rated at 45 gf, so check which one a listing names before buying, because it is the part your fingers touch. On a board sold largely on price that is tolerable, but it makes any review of "the F99" less useful than it looks. Its other cost is height. This is a tall board that needs a wrist rest.
The Wooting's sixty percent layout is deliberate, and it means no arrow cluster, no function row and no navigation keys, all reached through a modifier layer instead. For a competitive player that is a feature, because it clears desk space for wide mouse movement. For anyone who writes, edits spreadsheets or codes, it is a daily tax that no amount of actuation tuning repays.
Walk past the Wooting if you want a keyboard rather than a controller. Walk past the AULA if the point of the purchase was adjustable actuation, because conventional switches cannot offer it at any price.

What reviewers say
The bottom line
Neither board is an upgrade path to the other, and that is worth settling now. Six months in is a late time to find out. The AULA is a finished object: what it does on the first day is what it will do for its whole life, and its value is that it does a great deal of it cheaply. The Wooting's behavior lives in its firmware, so it changes with updates in a way a mechanical board cannot.
So: if the keyboard has to serve a desk that types, answers email and plays in the evening, the F99 is the sane purchase and the Wooting is an expensive way to lose your arrow keys. If the keyboard exists to win rounds, the Wooting is the only one of the two built for that, and its cable stops being a compromise.
