Which Keyboard Wins Each Row?
Typing feel & switches: F75 (9 vs 8.5)
Both use linear switches in a gasket mount, and both are hot-swap. Both sit in the top band of our typing rule; we rate the F75 half a point higher, and its LEOBOG switches are listed as pre-lubed. The Swarm 75 uses Huano Red on the Flipkart model, and Kreo ships other switches on other versions, so check the listing.
Gaming performance: tie (7.5 vs 7.5)
Both poll at 1,000 Hz wired and on 2.4 GHz, and drop to 125 Hz on Bluetooth. Neither has Hall effect switches, adjustable actuation or rapid trigger. The Swarm 75's Flipkart listing shows NKRO and anti-ghosting; NKRO for the F75 was not confirmed.
Build quality: F75 (8 vs 7)
Both have plastic cases. The F75's edge comes from PBT keycaps, which resist shine better than the Swarm 75's double-shot ABS. That PBT claim comes from retailer listings, not AULA's own page.
Ergonomics & layout: tie (7.5 vs 7.5)
Both are 75% boards with arrows and an F-row but no number pad. The F75 adds a knob. Neither comes with a wrist rest.
Connectivity & battery: tie (8.5 vs 8.5)
Both are tri-mode with 4,000 mAh batteries. The Swarm 75's Flipkart spec table lists 25 hours with backlight at full and 270 hours with it off; Kreo's page says up to 270 hours. We found no official battery hours for the F75.
Software & features: tie (6.5 vs 6.5)
Kreo's software handles per-key RGB, remapping and macros. AULA offers its own driver software. AULA's downloads page carries a VIA file, but VIA support for the F75 itself is not confirmed.
India value: tie (9 vs 9)
The Swarm 75 costs ₹1,419 less and has a 400-day warranty on its Flipkart listing. The F75 gives slightly more for its price, but its India warranty was not confirmed. Flipkart lists the Swarm 75's MRP as ₹10,000, which looks inflated, so judge it on the ₹3,999 selling price.
Which Should You Buy?
Buy the Kreo Swarm 75 if you…
have a hard budget of about ₹4,000;
want published battery life figures and a 400-day warranty on the listing;
want to choose between Kreo's switch options.
Buy the AULA F75 if you…
care most about typing feel and can spend ₹5,418;
want PBT keycaps and a volume knob;
are happy to confirm warranty and switch details with the seller first.
Look at something else if you…
play fast shooters: the wired Kreo Hive 75 HE has Hall effect switches and rapid trigger for ₹3,899 on Flipkart (83 on gaming);
want PBT keycaps under ₹5,000: the EvoFox Ronin X75 is tri-mode at ₹4,249 on Flipkart (81 on budget);
need a number pad: the AULA F108 Pro is full-size and tri-mode at ₹8,999 on Flipkart.

Checklist Before You Buy
Check today's price on Amazon.in and Flipkart; the gap was ₹1,419 on 5 November 2026.
Check the switch on the exact listing: Swarm 75 versions differ, and F75 switches depend on the colour.
Make sure the listing is the F75, not the F75 Pro, F75 Max or another F75 version.
Ask the seller about India warranty for the F75.
Use the 2.4 GHz receiver for games, not Bluetooth.
Keep the GST invoice for warranty claims.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mixing up F75 models. AULA sells several F75 versions with different batteries and features. Our ratings are for the standard F75.
Gaming over Bluetooth. Both boards drop to 125 Hz on Bluetooth.
Trusting the Swarm 75's MRP. ₹10,000 against a ₹3,999 price is not a real 60% saving.
Expecting Hall effect features. Neither board has adjustable actuation or rapid trigger.
