As desk space becomes limited, the style of using multiple devices for different purposes has become common, and keyboards have evolved from mere input tools into comprehensive devices that combine work efficiency, a comfortable typing feel, and harmony with the desk environment. Especially in the Japanese market, whether the product features a "Japanese (JIS) layout" suited to Japanese input habits has become an important criterion for product selection.
The mechanical keyboard "F87" from the gaming device brand "AULA" will fully enter the Japanese market as a Japanese (JIS) layout model, and sales will begin sequentially at some domestic consumer electronics retailers starting April 7, 2026. While inheriting the highly evaluated basic structure from before, this model optimizes the key layout according to the input habits of Japanese users, and simultaneously introduces new color variations tailored for the Japanese market.
## JIS Layout Optimized for Japanese Users' Input Habits
The F87 JIS layout version adopts a standard Japanese key layout and is optimized according to the logic of Japanese input. Compared to the US (ANSI) layout, kana input and symbol input can be performed more smoothly, thereby reducing the sense of discomfort and the burden of adaptation when used in conjunction with other keyboards. For users who type for long hours or communicate frequently in business, a familiar key layout helps maintain a smooth typing rhythm and contributes to improving overall work efficiency.
## Commitment to Structure, Typing Feel, and Connection Methods Beyond Basic Functions
Unlike entry-class mechanical keyboards that merely provide basic input functions, the F87 boasts substantial specifications in all aspects: structural design, typing feel, and connection methods. In terms of structure, it adopts a gasket mount and combines it with multi-layered sound-absorbing materials, effectively suppressing vibration transmission and echoing noise during typing. For the typing feel, it utilizes key switches that have been factory-lubed.
