The AULA F99 Max keeps a full number pad in a 96% board, so CAT spreadsheet work and evening games share one keyboard. Computer Applications Technology leans on spreadsheets, and 97 keys keep the digits close. Evetech sells it in South Africa with a year of local cover.
Ask any Computer Applications Technology learner what fills their screen and spreadsheets will come up quickly: columns of figures, formulas, marks, costings for a mock business. Typing numbers along the top row is slow and error-prone, which is why a number pad matters so much for this subject. The F99 Max keeps one while shrinking the board, so a keyboard with numpad for CAT learners can also be the one used for games once homework is done.
The AULA F99 Max keeps a full number pad in a compact 96% layout with 97 keys, so spreadsheet work for CAT and evening games can share one keyboard. Between its cable, its receiver and Bluetooth it remembers as many as five devices, handy in a home where a school laptop and a family PC share a desk. Evetech sells it in South Africa with a 1 Year Local Warranty. Its Evetech price is R799.
Entering numbers on a number pad is faster than using the row above the letters, because the digits sit in a compact grid under one hand, like a calculator. Your other hand stays free for the mouse or the arrow keys, which is how most people move between cells.
For CAT learners that adds up. Practical work often means entering long lists of figures, checking formulas and moving around a sheet, and every one of those tasks is quicker with a numpad. Exactly how much spreadsheet work a given class or task involves varies, so your teacher is the best guide to what is coming.
Yes. A 96% layout keeps nearly all the keys of a full-size keyboard, including the numpad, function row and arrow keys, but closes the gaps between them. Squeezed into the middle of the board are a little TFT display and a dial, and the dial is perfect for turning music down when concentration is needed.
Many South African families juggle a school laptop, a shared desktop and a phone or tablet. Five pairings are possible on the F99 Max, spread over three ways of connecting:
That means a learner can do homework on the school laptop and switch to the gaming PC afterwards without swapping keyboards. The 8000mAh battery covers the cordless modes, and turning off the screen or dimming the lighting stretches it further.
Its Reaper linears from LEOBOG come already lubed, and they sit on a gasket-mounted assembly cushioned by five layers of foam, IXPE, PET and silicone. Linear switches have no click, and the damping takes the edge off each keystroke. AULA does not publish a decibel figure, but the design aims for a softer sound, which helps in a shared house during homework time.
Once the spreadsheets are closed, the same board handles games. Those linears glide down with a light 45gf press, the lighting runs through 16.8 million colours, and if a different switch appeals later, both 3-pin and 5-pin types drop straight into the sockets.
Buying the F99 Max in South Africa means the warranty is handled locally, which matters for a keyboard that will be carried between school and home. Evetech lists it in its gaming keyboards range, and its numpad also makes it a fit alongside the office keyboards. The price is on the product page.
