This is my first mechanical keyboard, an Aula F3261... I was actually debating on getting this or the CPSTech CT87 TKL, But this felt like it has more features and it is made by a reliable Keyboard manufacturer... In fact, The same manufacturer that made the Aula F75, a highly acclaimed board at the time and even now.

Personal review
My first experience with the ownership of mechanical keyboards. This Aula F3261 is also my first experience with the linear switches, because I heard the reds sound better than blues. I initially didn't like the feel, but I got used to it and I like how it sounds too. the keycaps feel good, And I plan to keep it stock until the keycaps shine completely, then maybe I would mod it and figure out how to pull out the switches on the thing without actually breaking anything... The plate is just gripping onto the switch too tight, And I am scared to damage it... Especially since it's my first one, and it does have some sentimental value to me too.
That keyboard has been there with me since the second semester of 1st year and my relationship with the keyboard has been really good so far, Although I do use it as a gaming board more than just a beater keyboard... that role belongs to the Zeus Z-G61, Although the keycaps on this one seems to shine a bit faster, But hey, This is a candidate for Project Archon... But then the stock keycaps from Project Albedo (Coming to the wiki Soon~) will still serve as its second stock OEM set, and I might be using them as the spares for the First One, But i will cross that bridge when I get there, Because the Inplay SK610 Is a stronger candidate for Project Archon because it's a tri-mode and I need to use it more to also test the durability of a PBT keycap set and its brown switches
