For those who missed out the EB deal here. Delivery only so +$9.99 (or +$6.99 or +$8.99 around metropolitan VIC) but definitely ATL. I bought the numpad on Aliexpress.

Would love to hear about a good experience from Aliexpress.
I've ordered that keyboard from three sellers ($56 three months ago), but they were never delivered. When a tracking number was given (Fedex), it seemed to be for a different parcel. The delivery address resembled mine to the extent it was for NSW (I am in the ACT), while the proof of delivery photo showed a parcel that looked to be half the width of a 75% keyboard.
Otherwise, I agree that the Aula is a good deal for those who want a solid looking board that sounds "marbly".
yea i had a few like that, make sure its a choice seller and you will have no issues
Link please? Has numpads? I need that
Aula f75 doesn't have numpads
Same
Can you link us please?
Different form factor
Have been looking for a deal on one of these for a while! Thanks!
I wish i can get the 108 full.model with that price….
Awesome, I posted a comment on the NES version thread i've been waiting for this. And boom.
The Ozb gods are kind to my prayers.
Pulled the trigger on it man?
Absolutely.
I have the full one (with the extra buttons, separate numpad and joystick). Its pretty good quality
Need numb pad
You can buy it separately and its also a retro calculator. I
Clicky
That's what a hotswap PCB is for :) (if clicky switches aren't your thing)
What's the point of discount if it costs me more or less the same as original price to have it as per my choice?
The deal should explicitly mention clicky up there so someone doesn't buy a wrong keyboard and then waste his time to fix his choice
JV is that you?
Paid for $139 with bonus Mwave credit that I couldn't find a thing to spend on then got expired. $100 credit down the drain :(
I recommend Ajazz AK820 Pro
The EB one is back in stock for anyone who wants to earn carrots and save $1.04 on delivery
Cheers, used discounted gift cards to get a bit cheaper
Killer price nice find!
Not sure why this one is so popular. There are heaps of nice looking mechanical keyboards that don't have ugly maroon coloured keys.
The colours are based on the original Nintendo gaming console. N is for Nintendo Entertainment System or NES (Western version) and Fami is short for Family Computer or Famicom (Japan version). That’s why the Fami has Japanese kana on the keys. It’s also why the accessory is two big A and B buttons.
I assume most people are buying these for nostalgia, not because they’re mechanical keyboard fetishists.
nostaligia.
Also $10 off on the C64 version, which is certainly no bargain given previous deals but seems to be about the best price at the moment.
indeed i bought this at 179! will be going in for a redund.
Thanks OP, been wanting the nes version for ages and missed out on the last deal :)
Love the look, but the clickiness puts me off. I'm using a Royal Kludge right now, and its switches are much smoother on the ears, than the clicky switches I had previously.
Similar Colors too - https://amzn.asia/d/2KMptL8
saying 'royal kludge' out loud
I prefer some Royal Clunge.
No backlight is a deal breaker for me, otherwise would like to try.
helps with the battery life
Make sense, but if I can't see it in the dark room, means I can't use it comfortably. battery life won't matter then. If you can 100% finding all the keys without looking, then it doesn't matter to you. I can't.
On be onto this in a sec if the C64 model was at that price.
So, this wont work on a Mac Mini?
I ordered one. But delivery isn't expected until 4th July. That's a quite slow turnaround.
By the way Is this better than the keychron q1?
keychron is better
OP, which numpad did you get on ali xpress?
Why are people going with this keyboard besides the deal? On reviews, the biggest CON is the loud clickly sound that is unsuitable for office, cafe, uni environment
I think the loudness has been greatly exaggerated. It's not that loud.
I hope so. Every review is about the loudness haha
While the price is nice, I think I'm going to pass on this. My current mechanical keyboard, people on virtual meeting complained about my loud noise. If this is loud, wait till they hear this haha
I'm currently on Cherry Browns I wonder if I'll adjust haha
I recommend an Aula F75 (ice vein switch) from aliexpress, can be as low as 60-65 delivered at times. Best value by a mile :)
