65% — desk room for the mouse, not for a numpad
The F65 carries 67 keys: the alphabet, the number row, the arrows and a short column with Delete, Page Up, Page Down and End on the right. The F-row and the numpad move onto the Fn layer. At 325 mm wide the board frees up exactly the slice of desk a full-size model gives to the number pad, so the mouse hand gets more space and your shoulders stay closer together. If you work with numbers all day, judge first how comfortable you will be without a numpad.
Three modes and a slider within reach
The mode is chosen with a physical slider on the left edge rather than a key combination: BT — Wired — 2.4G. Next to it sit the USB Type-C port and the bay that holds the USB receiver, so it is hard to lose while travelling. Bluetooth 5.0 suits a tablet or a phone, the 2.4 GHz link suits a gaming PC, and the cable is there for when you want to type and charge at once.
A gasket build and hot-swap sockets
The F65 plate is not screwed hard into the case; it rests on soft pads — that is the gasket mount. In practice it gives a softer bottom-out and a duller, more contained sound instead of the ring of a bare plastic shell. Hot-swap works on every key: a switch lifts out with a puller and goes back in without a soldering iron, so the sound and the typing force can be retuned later without replacing the whole board.
Two colourways — and two different switches
Two factory versions go on preorder, and the choice is about more than colour. The White + Pink + Black build uses Star Vector switches; the White + Purple + Pink build uses Nimbus V3. Both stay fully hot-swappable, so the stock switch sets the first impression without locking you in. AULA does not publish force and travel figures for these two switches on the F65, so we do not quote any.
