AULA F87 Pro V2 Black Widow Keyboard Second Version Review: Performance, Design, and Price Analysis
The NooNJaeng Electronics channel unboxed and tested various lineups of the AULA F87 Pro V2 Spider keyboard. This keyboard offers many upgrades, including design improvements, various RGB options, and 8k polling rate support (specific models). However, web driver instability, disappointing wireless performance, and price increases are things to consider. The 259 yuan model is recommended if you value cost-effectiveness.
1. 📦 AULA F87 Pro V2 Unboxing and First Impressions: Design Changes and Components
- ✅ The box design has been greatly improved compared to the previous version.
- ✅ It is difficult to distinguish the lineups by the appearance of the box, and it can be checked by battery capacity (10,000mAh or 12,000mAh).

- ⚠️ The quality of the provided USB-C cable is not good (shell grounding X, high ground resistance). The signal quality is okay, but there is a possibility of problems due to voltage drop.
