Holiday houses, LAN weekends and a week at a friend's place all raise the same question: which parts of your setup are worth the bag space? A keyboard and mouse you already know by feel beat whatever is lying around at the other end. Three AULA pieces pack well together for a travel gaming setup: the HERO 75 HE keyboard, the SC900 MAX mouse and the rolled-up MP-XL pad.
Quick Answer
The HERO 75 HE, SC900 MAX and MP-XL fit into one backpack. The keyboard measures about 313 x 139 x 43mm and weighs around 980g without its cable, the mouse is 62g with its battery fitted, and the 900 x 400mm pad rolls into a tube. Keyboard and mouse both run over a 2.4GHz dongle or Bluetooth, so you only need a cable for charging. From Evetech, the keyboard costs R899, the mouse R749 and the pad R129.
🎒 Sizing up what goes in the bag
The keyboard
The HERO 75 HE is a 75% board with 84 keys, which keeps a function row and arrows without the width of a full-size keyboard. Its footprint is roughly the size of a large hardcover book, and at about 980g it is solid rather than light. A padded laptop sleeve or a dedicated keyboard case of about that size protects the keycaps and the 36-LED light box along the top edge from being crushed.
The mouse
The SC900 MAX is 126 x 68 x 44mm and 62g with its 400mAh cell in place. It will slip into a side pocket, though a small pouch keeps grit away from the sensor window and the switch on its base.
The pad
The MP-XL is the bulky item on paper at 900mm wide, but it is flexible and rolls up for transport, then lies flat again once unrolled. At 3mm thick it makes a firm tube you can slide down the side of a backpack or wrap around the keyboard case.
📡 Cable-free at the other end
Both input devices are tri-mode, which gives you options once you get there.
- On your own laptop or PC: use the 2.4GHz dongles for full speed. The HERO 75 HE runs at 8000Hz on its dongle, and the SC900 MAX climbs from its 1000Hz default to 8000Hz on the dongle once you change the setting in software.
- On a borrowed machine or tablet: pair over Bluetooth instead and leave the dongles safely at home. The keyboard remembers up to three Bluetooth devices, and both it and the mouse drop to 125Hz on that link, which is fine for casual play and typing.
Dongles are small and easy to lose in transit. If you do bring them, keep them in one zipped pocket, not loose in the bag.
🔋 Charging and power on the road
One USB-C cable covers both input devices: the HERO 75 HE charges its 8000mAh battery over USB-C, and the SC900 MAX charges at 5V through its USB-C port. The same cable doubles as a wired connection for either device if a battery runs low mid-game.
The mouse has a second trick. Its 400mAh battery sits behind a cover on the underside and can be swapped for another charged cell, so if you own a spare, a flat mouse is back in action in seconds. AULA does not publish battery hours for the HERO 75 HE, so charge it fully before you leave.
Flying with batteries
Airlines set their own rules for lithium batteries in cabin and checked luggage, and they change them from time to time. Check your airline's current guidance before you fly, and keep battery-powered devices in your carry-on if the airline asks for that.
🧳 A simple packing order
- Roll the MP-XL fabric side in, so the surface stays clean.
- Slide the keyboard into its sleeve and lay it flat against the back panel of the bag.
- Put the mouse in a pouch, and the dongles and USB-C cable in a zipped pocket.
- Stand the rolled pad upright in a side pocket or along the keyboard.
Unpacked, you have a full-width surface, a 75% board and a light mouse on any table with a power point nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HERO 75 HE too heavy to travel with?
At about 980g it is noticeable but manageable. Most people carry it in a laptop-style sleeve.
Should I bring the dongles or leave them at home?
Bring them for gaming on your own machine, where they give the fastest link. For a borrowed PC or tablet, Bluetooth avoids the risk of losing them.
Will rolling the MP-XL damage it?
No. It is designed to roll for transport and flatten again, and the stitched edges resist fraying.
How many cables do I need to pack?
One USB-C cable charges both the keyboard and the mouse, and it can also connect either one directly.
Can I take these on a plane?
Usually yes, but lithium battery rules belong to each airline. Check your carrier's current guidance before you travel.
