390.5mm across: will the L99 fit where a normal 75% keyboard does?

A "75%" label promises a small board, and on most keyboards that holds. The AULA L99 is the exception worth measuring for: its touchscreen sits beside the keys rather than above them, so the L99 keyboard width comes out at 390.5mm. Whether it drops straight into the space your current board occupies depends on the few centimetres to its right.

Quick Answer

Not always. The L99 measures 390.5 x 140.7 x 43.3mm, because a 3.98-inch touchscreen is built into its right-hand side next to a 75% key block. Measure from the left edge of where your keyboard sits to the spot your mouse usually starts, and make sure that gap clears 390.5mm with room to move. The board costs R1,099 and carries a 1 Year Local Warranty through Evetech.

📏 Where the extra width comes from

A standard 75% board keeps the function row, the arrows and a compressed navigation column, all packed tight. The L99 keeps that key block and then adds a dedicated display area on the right for its 320 x 480 touchscreen. That panel is the reason for the extra length, and it is also the reason people buy the board: lighting, a numpad, a calculator, mouse simulation and custom GIF or JPG files all run from it.

So the comparison that matters is not "75% versus 75%". In practice the L99 ends up longer than many tenkeyless boards, with a working screen where you might expect nothing at all.

🧭 What to measure before you choose

Grab a tape measure and check three things.

Desk width to the mouse zone

Mark where your left hand rests on the keyboard, then measure to where your mouse pad begins. If that distance is under about 40cm, the L99 will push the mouse outward, which means a wider arm angle.

Keyboard tray depth and width

Trays are the tightest spot. The board is 140.7mm deep, which most trays handle, but the 390.5mm length can bump into tray edges or brackets. Measure the usable flat area, not the outer frame.

Clearance under a monitor stand

At 43.3mm tall, the L99 slides under most monitor stands with a raised base. If you park your keyboard under the screen when you are done, check the gap with the feet folded.

🖱️ Living with the screen next to your mouse

Because the display area sits on the right, it lands between your typing hand and your mouse hand. For most people that is a comfortable place for a panel you tap now and then. It does mean the mouse travels a little further out than it would beside a plain compact board, so low-sensitivity players who sweep the mouse wide should allow extra pad space.

Two-stage adjustable feet let you tilt the board up, which also angles the touchscreen slightly towards you. Cable clutter is easy to avoid too: the L99 runs wirelessly on its 8000mAh cell, either through the 2.4GHz dongle or paired over Bluetooth with as many as three devices, so no lead needs to cross the desk.

✅ When a smaller board is the better fit

If your desk leaves less than 40cm for the keyboard, or you play with a very low sensitivity and need every centimetre of mouse room, a 65% or 75% board without a screen will suit you better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the L99 wider than other 75% keyboards?

Its touchscreen is built into a display area on the right, beside the key block, which pushes the total length to 390.5mm.

How deep and tall is it?

140.7mm front to back and 43.3mm high, so depth is similar to other compact boards.

Will it fit on a pull-out keyboard tray?

Measure the flat usable surface. Depth is rarely an issue, but the 390.5mm length can meet brackets or raised edges.

Does the screen get in the way of my mouse?

It sits between your hands, so the mouse starts further right. Allow a few extra centimetres of pad space.

Can I change the typing angle?

Yes. The feet are two-stage adjustable, so you can raise the back to one of two heights or leave it flat.
