Pick the AULA HERO 84 HE for a wired-only magnetic 75%, or the AULA HERO 75 HE to add 2.4GHz and Bluetooth. Both have 84 keys, 8000Hz and a 36-LED light box on top. The HERO 84 HE comes in white/purple, and Evetech covers both for 2 years.
AULA builds two HERO keyboards on almost the same skeleton. Each has 84 keys in a 75% frame, a strip of light across the top edge and magnetic switches you can tune. What separates them is the road each one takes to your PC, so this is really a choice between a cable-only or cordless magnetic 75%, not between two unrelated keyboards.
Choose the AULA HERO 84 HE if your keyboard never leaves the desk and you want one fewer thing to charge: its angled USB lead is the only way it connects. Choose the AULA HERO 75 HE if you also want cordless links: a 2.4GHz receiver plus Bluetooth that remembers three devices, running from an 8000mAh battery. Both poll at 8000Hz over their main link, both scan keys at up to 128kHz, and both have a 36-LED light box on top. Evetech has the HERO 84 HE at R719 and the HERO 75 HE at R899.
This is the section that actually decides the purchase, so start here.
The HERO 84 HE ships with an L-shaped cable that runs from a USB-A port on your PC to the USB-C socket on the board. There is no other link. That sounds limiting until you think about what most desktop gamers do: plug the keyboard in once and leave it there for years. With the cable as the only path, the board draws power from the PC, reports at 8000Hz and never asks you to top anything up.
The angled plug is a small but practical detail. It turns the cable sideways as it leaves the board, which helps it lie flat and keeps it out of the way of a monitor stand or a mouse cable.
The HERO 75 HE keeps a USB-C cable but adds two cordless options. Its 2.4GHz receiver matches the wire's 8000Hz, which is the headline feature of the board: going cordless does not cost you report rate. Bluetooth pairs up to three devices and runs at 125Hz, which is plenty for a laptop, a tablet or a work machine, but not the link to game on.
AULA powers those cordless modes from an 8000mAh battery. AULA leaves runtime unrated on this edition, so how often you charge will come down to your lighting and which link you lean on.
Both boards use Hall Effect switches, meaning a magnet in each stem and a sensor under it that measures how far the key has travelled. That is what allows the actuation point to move, and it is what makes Rapid Trigger possible. The details differ.
The HERO 84 HE uses pre-lubed Black King switches, which AULA also names Black Emperor. A press registers at 33gf, and by the end of the 3.4mm stroke the spring pushes back at 53gf. The HERO 75 HE switch depends on colour: the black board gets Stormrise switches and the orange and green boards get Spiritcloud. AULA's Thai distributor rates those two for 60 million presses.
Both boards let you set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.4mm. The HERO 84 HE moves through that range in 0.01mm increments. The HERO 75 HE goes finer, in 0.005mm increments. In practice, both are far finer than a finger can reliably separate, so treat this as a small spec-sheet win rather than something you will feel mid-match.
The HERO 84 HE page lists Rapid Trigger, plus Mod-Tap, Dynamic Keystrokes and key remapping in its web driver. The HERO 75 HE page goes further, adding SOCD, Toggle, END and Multi-Point Trigger to Rapid Trigger, DKS and Mod-Tap, with live calibration and a key travel display. If a specific mode matters to how you play, check it against each page before you choose.
Plenty is shared, and none of it should sway the decision.
Because the layouts match, keycap sets and muscle memory carry across. Someone who starts on the wired board and later wants a cordless one for a second desk will find the keys exactly where they left them.
The HERO 84 HE comes in one finish, white with purple. The HERO 75 HE comes in black, orange and green, and remember that colour also chooses its switch. Anyone who wants a white desk setup has, in effect, already picked the HERO 84 HE.
A few questions help settle the rest:
Both sit in Evetech's gaming keyboards range, and both carry a 2 Years Local Warranty, the cover AULA's magnetic boards get through Evetech. Because the switches on either board can be pulled and replaced, it is worth browsing keyboard switches too, keeping in mind AULA's advice to stay within the same magnetic switch family. Pricing for both boards will be on each product page.
The HERO 84 HE. It connects by cable only, so there is no battery to manage and nothing to pair.
Not on the receiver. AULA rates its 2.4GHz link at 8000Hz, the same as the cable, while Bluetooth runs at 125Hz for everyday devices.
Very unlikely. Both are much smaller than the movement a finger can control on purpose, so the switch feel and your chosen actuation point matter far more.
No. The HERO 84 HE uses Black King switches, and the HERO 75 HE uses Stormrise on black and Spiritcloud on orange and green.
Both use an 84-key 75% layout, so a set sized for one should suit the other. Check the set's own layout list before buying.
Yes. Each has a 36-LED strip along the top with its own modes, colours, speed and brightness, apart from the key lighting.
The same on both, and claims for either board go through Evetech.

Wi-Fi 6E vs Wi-Fi 6 for Streaming on Twitch and YouTube comes down to router support, latency, client devices, band support, and home network layout. SA buyers should match the choice to their setup instead of assuming one option always wins.

Steam content servers unreachable needs a download-path check, not an immediate reinstall of every game. Restart the client, inspect download settings and compare another connection when practical. Clearing the download cache is separate from deleting installed games.
Keychron G6 HE has built-in and swappable battery versions with different weights. The product brief lists 42g and 46g respectively, each with a 3g tolerance. Choose by grip and battery preference before treating one headline weight as universal.
Corsair HS80 v2 MAX supports 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth. Its maximum battery figures use RGB-off conditions and differ by connection. Check microphone routing, comfort and the exact device support before assuming every wireless mode behaves alike.
Windows taskbar notification badges can be shown or hidden in Taskbar behaviours. This changes the small app indicators, not the underlying messages. Choose a calmer desktop while keeping a deliberate routine for checking important conversations and app updates.
Windows title bar window shake can minimise other open windows when you shake the active window by its title bar. Inspect the Multitasking setting and switch it off if that gesture interrupts your work. The preference costs R0 and does not require new hardware.
Windows Print Screen opens Snipping Tool when its keyboard preference is enabled. Change the option under Accessibility, Keyboard to choose another workflow. Test whether you need a clipboard image or a saved file.
Windows desktop icons missing may be a visibility setting. Right-click the desktop, choose View and inspect Show desktop icons. If only system icons are absent, use Desktop icon settings. Check the Desktop folder before assuming files were deleted.
Windows set time zone automatically greyed out calls for a location and device-policy check. Automatic time-zone selection relies on location services. A manual time-zone choice is separate from synchronising the clock; check both before replacing hardware.
Windows transparency effects can be switched off to make supported backgrounds more opaque. Use Accessibility, Visual effects or the colour settings, then compare a menu against your wallpaper. This R0 preference changes appearance; it is not a promised.
YouTube no sound is worth checking at the player, browser and device levels first. Unmute the video, check the selected audio output and compare another clip and app. These R0 checks help narrow the fault without assuming that speakers or headphones need replacement.
iPhone overheating needs a cooler environment and a pause in demanding activity. If a temperature warning appears, Apple advises turning the device off and letting it cool away from sunlight. Charging may slow or stop automatically; this protection is not proof of a.
Play Store update is separate from updating individual Android apps. Open the store profile, Settings, About and Update Play Store to check the store itself. Use Manage apps and device for app updates, and choose a suitable data connection before starting large.
