Yes, a lit touchscreen adds to the AULA L99's power draw, though AULA rates no battery hours to measure it against. Watch the level on the screen, turn RGB down when unplugged and top up the 8000mAh cell over USB-C. Evetech carries the L99 in two colourways.
A glowing panel on a wireless keyboard raises a fair worry: how much of the charge does it eat? The AULA L99 pairs an 8000mAh cell with a built-in 3.98-inch touchscreen, and the short answer on touchscreen keyboard battery life is that a lit screen does add to the draw. What AULA does not give you is an hours figure to measure that against, so managing it comes down to habits rather than numbers.
Yes, keeping the L99's touchscreen lit adds to its power use, alongside whatever the key lighting is doing. AULA publishes no battery-life rating in hours, so there is no rated runtime to compare. Watch the battery level the screen itself displays, dim or simplify the lighting when you are unplugged, and top the 8000mAh cell up over USB-C. Evetech carries the L99 in two colourways at R1,099, backed by a 1 Year Local Warranty.
Runtime on a keyboard like this depends on too many variables for one figure to mean much: how bright the RGB is, which effect is running, how long the screen stays on, whether you are on the 2.4GHz dongle or Bluetooth, and how much you type. Two owners could see very different results from the same 8000mAh battery. So instead of a rated number, the L99 gives you a live one: the touchscreen shows the current battery level.
That is arguably more useful day to day. You can see where you stand before a long session, rather than trusting a figure measured with the lights off.
A 320 x 480 panel that is lit and showing menus, a numpad, a calculator or an animated GIF is a constant load while it is on. Animations and bright images are likely to cost more than a simple, dim display.
Per-key RGB across about 16 million colours and 20 presets is the other big consumer. Busy, bright effects use more than a single steady colour at low brightness.
The 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth both run from the battery. Wired mode over USB-C takes the battery out of the equation for as long as the cable is connected.
Lithium batteries last longest when they are not constantly run flat or left hot. Top the L99 up before it is nearly empty, avoid leaving it in direct sun or on a warm windowsill, and if you will not use it for a few weeks, store it partly charged in a cool place.
If long wireless stretches are your priority, AULA's F87 Pro V2 carries a larger 10000mAh battery, though it swaps the touchscreen for a 49-LED display. You can compare both, and other options, in Evetech's gaming keyboards range or on the keyboard best sellers list.
None in hours. AULA gives the capacity, 8000mAh, and the screen shows the live battery level instead.
AULA does not break it down. Both add load, and bright or animated content on either will draw more than dim, static settings.
Yes. In wired mode the board runs over USB-C, so the battery is no longer the limit.
Look at the touchscreen. It displays the battery level directly on the keyboard.
The F87 Pro V2 has a 10000mAh battery, though its display is a 49-LED grid rather than a touchscreen.
