Put on a playlist and most keyboards just sit there. The AULA F87 Pro V2 reacts. A grid of 49 LEDs built into the board works as an audio spectrum keyboard display, turning whatever your PC is playing into bars that rise and fall with the sound, whether that is a bassline, a boss fight or a podcast's voices.

Quick Answer

The F87 Pro V2's 49-LED dot-matrix display reads the audio your PC is playing and shows it as a live, moving spectrum on the keyboard. Music and game sound both drive it, and the same grid can instead play custom GIF animations set up in AULA's software. The board around it is a tri-mode tenkeyless design in Smoke Black, sold by Evetech for R899.

🎵 How a dot-matrix spectrum works

A spectrum display generally splits sound into frequency bands, from deep bass on one side to bright treble on the other, and shows how loud each band is at that instant. On the F87 Pro V2, each of the 49 LEDs acts as a single dot in that picture. In a typical spectrum view, a heavy bass note lifts one end of the picture while cymbals and vocals flicker elsewhere.

It is not a screen in the phone sense. There are no menus, text or photos, just a matrix of individual lights. That simplicity is part of the appeal: from across the room it reads as rhythm and movement rather than detail, much like the level meters on an old hi-fi.

🎮 Music, games and everything in between

Because it follows the audio coming from the computer, the display works with anything that makes sound. A streaming playlist makes it pulse with the beat. In a game, explosions and soundtracks drive big jumps, while quiet exploration leaves it calm. On a video call, it flickers gently with voices.

When you would rather have something steady, switch to a custom GIF. AULA's software lets you set your own animations on the grid, so it can show a simple loop, a logo or an icon instead of the spectrum.

💡 The lighting around the display

The grid is only one part of how the F87 Pro V2 lights up. Per-key RGB sits under every key, the spacebar has its own set of three LEDs, and an ambient bar of five LEDs adds a halo. AULA calls the combined effect a 360-degree light zone, meaning the board is lit from every side rather than just from above.

Together with the spectrum, that makes it a keyboard that sets the mood of a desk, particularly in a dim room.

⌨️ The board carrying the show

Under the lights, the F87 Pro V2 is a capable keyboard in its own right. It is a tenkeyless layout, which keeps the arrows and the navigation cluster while dropping the number pad to free space for your mouse. Reports go out 8000 times a second, a 0.125ms interval by AULA's figures, and supports SOCD, Mod-Tap and Toggle key modes.

It connects three ways: by USB-C cable, through a 2.4GHz receiver or over Bluetooth, handling up to three devices, with a 10000mAh battery for cable-free play. Typing lands on a gasket-suspended, seven-layer damped stack, and the sockets are hot-swap throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the display show text or pictures like a phone screen?

No. It is a grid of 49 individual LEDs, so it shows patterns, spectrum bars and simple GIF animations rather than detailed images.

What drives the spectrum?

The audio playing on your PC. Music, games and voice all make it move.

What else can the grid display?

Custom GIF animations, which you set up in AULA's software.

Is the rest of the board lit too?

Yes. Lighting runs round the entire case as well as under each key, so the spectrum is never the only thing glowing.

Does it work wirelessly?

Yes. It runs over a 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth on a 10000mAh battery, or plugged in over USB-C.

What warranty comes with it?

A 1 Year Local Warranty, handled by Evetech.
