The Aula F75 keyboard has three ways to change its color

The Aula F75 lets you change key colors in three different ways: using the keyboard's built-in buttons, using the software that comes with it, or using a combination of both. Which method works best depends on whether you want to change all the keys at once, set different colors for different keys, or create lighting effects that respond to what you're typing.

The quickest way is the hardware buttons on the keyboard itself — you can cycle through preset colors without opening any software. If you want more control, the Aula software (sometimes called Aula Driver or Control Center) gives you access to custom colors and effects. Most people use the buttons for quick changes and the software for anything more detailed.

Key Takeaways

  • Press and hold the Fn key plus the right arrow key to cycle through preset colors on the keyboard itself, with no software needed.
  • The Aula software lets you set individual key colors, create custom lighting patterns, and save multiple profiles for different games or work.
  • If the software does not recognize your keyboard, unplug it, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in, and restart the software.
  • Some color changes only work when the keyboard is plugged in via USB — wireless mode may have limited lighting options.

Using the keyboard buttons to change colors

The fastest way to change your keyboard color is with the hardware buttons built into the F75. Look for the Fn key (usually in the bottom left) and the arrow keys on the right side of the keyboard. Press and hold Fn, then tap the right arrow key repeatedly. Each tap cycles to the next color in the preset list.

The order is usually red, blue, green, purple, cyan, white, and then back to red. If you want to adjust how bright the colors are, hold Fn and press the up arrow to make the lights brighter or the down arrow to make them dimmer. These changes happen instantly and do not require any software, so this is the method to use if you just want a quick color change without opening your computer.

If you hold Fn and press the left arrow key, you will cycle backward through the colors instead of forward. This is useful if you overshoot the color you wanted and need to go back one or two steps.

Installing and using the Aula software

For more detailed control — like setting different colors for different keys or creating lighting effects — you need the Aula software. Go to the official Aula website and download the driver for the F75 keyboard. The file is usually called something like "Aula_F75_Driver" or "Aula_Control_Center". Save it to your computer and run the installer.

Once the software is installed, plug your F75 keyboard into your computer with a USB cable (if it is not already plugged in) and open the Aula software. The program should detect your keyboard automatically. You will see a visual representation of your keyboard on the screen, with each key shown as a separate button you can click to change its color.

Click on any key in the software and a color picker will appear. Choose the color you want for that key. You can set every key to a different color if you want, or create a pattern. Once you are happy with your setup, look for a "Save" or "Apply" button to store your changes. Most versions of the software save your settings to the keyboard itself, so the colors stay even if you unplug it and use it on a different computer.

Creating lighting effects and profiles

The Aula software includes preset lighting effects beyond just solid colors. Look for a tab or menu labeled "Effects", "Modes", or "Lighting Profiles". Common options include breathing (colors fade in and out), wave (colors move across the keyboard), reactive (colors respond to key presses), and rainbow (colors cycle through the spectrum).

Select an effect and the software will usually let you adjust the speed — faster or slower depending on your preference. Some effects let you choose which colors are included in the pattern. Once you have set up an effect you like, save it as a profile with a name like "Gaming" or "Work" so you can switch between different setups without rebuilding them each time.

To switch between profiles, you can usually do it in the software, or some keyboards let you switch profiles using Fn plus a number key. Check your software's help section or the manual to see which method your version supports.

What to do if the software does not see your keyboard

If you open the Aula software and it says the keyboard is not connected, even though it is plugged in, try this: unplug the keyboard from the USB port, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. Then close the software completely and open it again. This resets the connection and usually fixes the problem.

If that does not work, restart your computer with the keyboard plugged in. Sometimes Windows or Mac needs to fully recognize the device before the software can control it. After the restart, open the Aula software again and it should detect the keyboard.

If the software still does not see the keyboard, try a different USB port on your computer. Some ports deliver power differently, and the keyboard might need a specific type of connection. Avoid USB hubs if possible — plug the keyboard directly into a port on your computer itself.

Wireless mode and color limitations

The Aula F75 can work in both wired (USB cable) and wireless (2.4 GHz dongle) mode. When you use the keyboard wirelessly, some color features may not work the same way as they do when plugged in. The hardware buttons (Fn plus arrow keys) usually still work, but custom colors set in the software might not sync to the wireless mode.

If you want full color control, keep the keyboard plugged in via USB. If you need to use it wirelessly, stick with the preset colors you can cycle through with the hardware buttons. You can always switch back to wired mode when you want to use the software again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my keyboard colors not showing up?

Make sure the keyboard is plugged in with a USB cable — wireless mode has limited lighting. If it is plugged in, check that the brightness is not turned all the way down. Hold Fn and press the up arrow several times to increase brightness. If colors still do not appear, unplug the keyboard, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in.

Can I set different colors for different keys?

Yes, but only through the Aula software, not the hardware buttons. Open the software, click on each key you want to change, and pick a color for it. The hardware buttons only cycle through preset colors for the entire keyboard at once.

Do my color settings stay if I unplug the keyboard?

Yes. The Aula software saves your custom colors to the keyboard's memory, so they stay even when you unplug it or move it to a different computer. The preset colors you cycle through with the hardware buttons are always there too.

What if I want to go back to the default colors?

In the Aula software, look for a "Reset" button or option to restore default settings. If you cannot find it, uninstall and reinstall the software. You can also always use the hardware buttons to cycle back to the colors you want.

Does changing keyboard color use more battery?

In wireless mode, lighting does use some battery power, but the F75 is designed to handle it. If you notice the battery draining very quickly, try lowering the brightness with Fn plus the down arrow, or switch to a less active lighting effect like solid color instead of breathing or wave.
