Tenkeyless boards took over gaming desks because most shooters never touch the number pad. Two genres never got that memo. MMO players and flight-sim pilots routinely park commands on that block of keys, and losing them means rebinding everything. For those players, a full-size keyboard for MMOs and flight sims is not nostalgia, it is the right tool, and the AULA F108 PRO V2 keeps that block intact.

Quick Answer

When hotbar abilities or cockpit views sit on your numpad, the F108 PRO V2 leaves that block exactly where your binds expect it. Alongside the numpad it has the full arrow and navigation clusters, hot-swap LEOBOG linear switches (Sea Dome at 32gf or Panda at 38gf), and a gasket mount with seven dampening layers that softens the stroke through long sessions. Evetech lists it at R1,099 in Dark/Light Grey and R949 in Black/Grey/White.

🗡️ Why MMO players lean on the numpad

MMOs tend to give you far more abilities than a mouse and the keys around WASD can comfortably hold. Players deal with that in two ways: stacking modifiers such as Shift and Ctrl onto the same few keys, or spreading binds across more physical keys. The number pad is the obvious extra block. It sits away from the movement keys, it has a clear grid, and many players reach it with the right hand between mouse movements, or use it for binds that do not need split-second timing.

The catch is that on a tenkeyless board that block simply does not exist. The F108 PRO V2, being full-size, holds on to it, so an existing bind layout carries straight over.

✈️ Why flight-sim players do the same

Flight and space sims have a similar problem: dozens of commands for views, panning and systems. The number pad's grid lines up naturally with directions, which is why many sims have historically used it for camera angles and view panning. Default layouts vary from sim to sim and change with updates, so check your own sim's controls page, but the principle holds: if your views are on the number pad, you want a keyboard that has one.

⚙️ Choosing the right switch for binds

Numpad binds bring a small practical question: how easily should those keys fire?

  • Sea Dome (dark grey and light grey edition): 32gf to register. Very light, which makes rapid ability chains easy, but a resting hand can trigger a key by accident.
  • Panda (black, grey and white edition): 38gf to register. A little firmer at the start, which gives some protection against stray presses when your hand drifts.

Both bottom out at 45gf and register 1.8mm down. If you tend to rest your fingers on the numpad between pulls or during long flights, the Panda may save you some misfires. And since every socket is hot-swappable, you can move to a different switch later if your preference changes.

🕹️ Long sessions and the rest of the board

Raid nights and long-haul flights mean hours at the keyboard. The F108 PRO V2's gasket mount and seven layers of dampening give a softer, quieter bottom-out that is easier on the fingers over time. Play wired over USB-C or go wireless through 2.4GHz or Bluetooth, and the dot-matrix display between the arrows and navigation keys can run audio-reactive effects while you play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remap the number pad instead of buying a full-size board?

You can move binds to other keys, but you lose a dedicated block and often end up leaning on modifiers. A full-size board avoids that compromise.

Which F108 PRO V2 switch is better for ability spam?

The Sea Dome, at 32gf, needs less force for rapid presses. The Panda suits players who want protection against accidental presses.

Does the full-size layout make my mouse sit further away?

Yes, a little. The numpad adds width, which is the trade-off for keeping those binds.

Can I play wirelessly?

Yes. The F108 PRO V2 supports a 2.4GHz receiver and Bluetooth, plus a USB-C cable for wired play.

What if one numpad key starts failing?

Every socket is hot-swappable, so you can pull the switch and fit a replacement without soldering.
